>Following the backlash sparked by the Gods of Egypt trailer and posters, Lionsgate and director Alex Proyas apologized for the film’s lack of diversity. Selma director Ava DuVernay described their statements as an “unusual occurence worth noting” and further responded “Gods of Egypt makes me value [J.J.] Abrams’ Star Wars choices more. Makes me cheer more for [Ryan] Coogler’s Creed. We all deserve icons in our own image.”

CÜCK
WE WUZ KANGS
They did make the Egyptians black btw. Blacks are mad that the movie stars any white people at all. Greeks were black too I guess.
>>63121465
>those comments
Aren't egyptian gods half animals usually?
>>63121537
Well, that dude in this pic is right.
>>63121658
>we wuz gods n shit
>>63121658
Yes, but nobody care about furries.
>>63121465
>>63121625
I don't get it. If they want an accurate movie, why don't they make it themselves instead of complaining about it?
>>63121356
>Deserve
Oh, is that it?
>>63121356
holy shit is she full on Aunt Tom? The joos clearly phoned her and told her to post that since shes considered the MLK of nigresses
>>63121695
Except he isn't. The settlers down around Virginia and the Carolinas killed a bunch of natives.
>>63121760
cause we wus kings n shit
>>63122009
The fact is it was a beginning. I guess.
>>63122105
How can people be so retarded? Seriously, nobody can't be serious about telling King James was black.
>>63122136
The lack of proper geographical knowledge makes american blacks believe they're of royal blood, when in reality their ancestors were mostly other tribesmen captured by Arab/Berber slave traders as well as sold by other SSA tribes). Egypt's on the other side of the continent, and Nubians were barely involved in the "golden age" of Egyptian history.
Any complaint about pic related? Not about the skin color of course, but how Henry VIII is not a fat fuck?
>>63121760
They don't want an accurate movie, Egyptians were never black. At one point the Nubians invaded Egypt and rules them for about 100 years, but Egyptians were never black. But this movie actually makes the Egyptians black, but that is still not good enough for them.
>>63122259
Shouldn't he also be a redhead? So much opression baka
>>63121356
>We all deserve icons in our own image.”
literally gibsmedat culture
>>63121760
That would require the activists to be, well, active.
By the way, the director is a Greek man from Egypt, making a movie about Greeks in Egypt. Why does he need to apologize for this?
>>63122861
>Why does he need to apologize for this?
Because he's not black/gay/trans.
>>63121695
The pilgrims were not refugees you fucking cunt.
I agree that they should stop making all of these non-white movies white, but at the same time the entire "only finding value in things because you share superficial traits like race with someone" to be bordering on racist itself.
And I am not mentioning which race I am because fuck identity politics
>>63122959
They were fleeing oppression in England, because "muh religious freedom"!
So you're the cunt.
>>63121356
I wasnt going to see either film. Race baiting wont make me spend money. Fuck you skills.
>>63123043
By fleeing to... an English colony, still staying loyal subjects. So fuck off.
>>63121465
and yet the last Thor movie had a black God even though that's actually nonsense if you are concerned about that sort of thing.
>>63123102
>an English colony
No. They founded the colony. Nobody was in the region beside the amerindian living here. What's the point for them to quit England if it was to still living with the english law in an already colonized land?
>>63121537
If Americans like this guy are so open towards refugees they should take more instead of letting Europe get flooded with them.
>>63123016
It's not a non-white movie, it's a movie about Greeks in Egypt made by a Greek Egyptian. He even made all the Egyptian royalty niggers just to satisfy ignorant black audiences, but it wasn't enough, they are still protesting because the Greek leads aren't black too.
>put honest work into making movies about values "my people/culture" care about and affect change
or
>bitch and moan on the sidelines about someone else's work
>>63122259
Henry the 8th hadnt always been fat; as a young male, he lived a life full of sports (tennis his favorite) and handsome debauchery. By his 20th birthday, Henry travelled from palace, partying with with his entourage. Think of it like a college frat house
It wasn't until Henry suffered a leg injury during a jousting tournament that he really gained weight. It doesn't help that historians think he may have had some sort of STD, which would swing his moods into rage or depression at a moment's notice. Henry ballooned up to 350+ pounds. It is said that his leg was always so gangrenous that one could smell the puss and green ooze from down the hall.
>>63121356
I DO NOT get this Star Wars diversity shit.
Captain Panaka, Mace Windu, Lando Calrissian, every movie except for one had at least one black male in it, If you include James Earl Jones then they all did.
>>63122259
henry was a fat fuck in later life.
>>63123188
>Greeks in Egypt
Really? I'm pretty sure greeks were only in Egypt after Alexander conquered it and a greek dynasty was born.
I love Ava and want to kiss her on the lips familia
>>63123287
Archaic period in Greek art (Egypt style) began around 600BC, and they had been trading for thousands of years before that. Alexander arrived in the 300's. Unlike modern Africans, ancient Greeks were able to make it across the Mediterranean fairly easily.

This looks fucking terrible.
Remember when everyone used to laugh at those wacky "black Israelites" who would try to claim all historical people of importance were really black?
Why the fuck is their brand of bullshit revisionist history becoming accepted among regular people?
>>63121356
Aren't all the white characters gods?
>>63121356
SHE WAS NOT PREPARED!
>>63121565
>Greeks were black too I guess.
Slowly but surely they're going to claim more and more historical figures as black until one day they accidentally claim all the slave owners in the US were black.
WE WUZ RUNNING A MERCANTILE INDUSTRY BUILD ON COTTON AND TEXTILES!!
WE JACKIN' YO HISTORY NIGGA GIVE UP DAT CULTURE
>>63124149
No, tumblrinas are really that stupid.
>apologized
Dun goofed.
>>63122888
Fucking this.
Ugh. Makes me shake my head.
It's like the guy from Mr Robot in Night at the Muesum 27. People clammed how they cast a white dude when he's really, truly Egyptian
Egyptians aren't black.
They weren't then and they aren't now.
These people are crying for diversity, yet they're ignoring the diversity of Africa itself. They seem to think that everyone in Africa = black.
As a transracial and transgendered black woman I can only applaud this sentiment.
