italians are closer to being black than white
>>200739463what's wrong with that? Roman Empire certainly had black people
They just can't help themselves lmao. It's like a crack addiction for modern Hollywood.In order to be "historically accurate" they would have to be slaves or commoners at very least
>>200739579Romans didn't have particularly care about skin colour. Blacks could rise in social status and become citizens of Rome, no less than Gauls
>>200739463>>200739579it's mandated that you have to add a certain % POC characters in movies. otherwise, you will not be considered in any awards and even movie studios themselves all have this law.you just can not make a movie without includding POC actors.
>>200739463>>200739549>a nigger in the SenateIs it meant to be some sort of joke like Caligula making his horse Consul
HOLY SHIT WHO GIVES ONE FUCK
This looks like dogshit lmao
>>200739463>Have you ever embraced someone dying of plague, Obamanus
Ahhhhhh what is Denzel's role? Is he some slave trader in North Africa?
>>200739883he's a kang
>>200739752yes, you can, you haven't actually read the oscar rules
>>200739748>"After inspecting the wall near the rampart in Britain… just as he [Severus] was wondering what omen would present itself, an Ethiopian from a military unit, who was famous among buffoons and always a notable joker, met him with a garland of cypress. And when Severus in a rage ordered that the man be removed from his sight, troubled as he was by the man's ominous colour and the ominous nature of the garland, [the Ethiopian] by way of jest cried, it is said, “You have been all things, you have conquered all things, now, O conqueror, be a god.” "Kys
kek at ridley casting random niggersbut not casting arabs as geta and caracalla, instead turning them into ginger fags
>>200739463>Caracalla
>>200740005Similar story in Plutarch's life of Brutus. Roman encounters with blacks are the correct application of the phrase "the exception that proves the rule".>He says also that just before the battle itself two eagles fought a pitched battle with one another in the space between the camps, and as all were gazing at them, while an incredible silence reigned over the plain, the eagle towards Brutus gave up the fight and fled. 5 And the story of the Ethiopian is well known, who, as the gate of the camp was thrown open, met the standard-bearer, and was cut to pieces by the soldiers, who thought his appearance ominous.
>>200739953You can have an all black production team and a black director and they will give you some leeway with the actors. Which of course never happens so to meet the requirements they always have black characters now. Which is quite annoying. Sometimes it's just not appropriate.
>>200740041Yeah, wth is with that? I assume it's because Caracalla is villain of the movie so he cant be brown
>>200740171Possibly. I have noticed a trend that villains have to be white and black people must always be kind and heroic.
Caesar was black thoughever
>>200739752>oh no, we cant give ourselves an award if we dont have niggers on screenWhat a tragedy that would be.
>>200739952Niggator 2
>>200740230Julius Caesar with gangster rappers would be very culturally relevant.>et tu, Big Smoke?
>>200739463Makes sense, it takes place in Italy
>>200739748>Arab>Only recorded sight of a black guy made him recoil in disgust
>>200739463OHHHHH NOOO THEY PUT A BLACK PERSON IN SOME MOVIE THAT WASN'T GOING TO BE GOOD ANYWAY, WHAT A CATASTROPHE
>>200739748Actually in the ancient world racism was so normalized that it simply wasn't a conversation topic or point of contention, and Africans were considered bottom of the barrel universally. Ignoring the fact that they would have been like 0.001% of the population anyway in Rome.
>>200739463>Gladiator 2Hollywood is out of ideas, and I can't believe Ridley Scott would sell out his legacy
>>200740485This
>>200740484I'm sick of movies being ruined by this stuff.
>>200740383Most Autistic post of the day
>>200739952I skimmed the VF article and it seems like he's the new Proximo.
>>200739579smfh :/ stupid ppl ITT ohh i'm mean the /pol/ can't help themselves to re-write history when it comes to black ppl lolthen use "Wikipedia" as references to historical Forensic Facts...Lmaooooooooo yeah i'm done with /tv/ when it comes to race relations. i was givn them a bit of leniency but this smfh !for the record. idgaf about PedoWood | Hollyweirds BIPOC agenda also. its stupid as fuck. but black ppl exists white niggers gtfo already. i did. nd so should u.......Niggers !
>>200740601The movie is NOT ruined by it. The movie is not going to be good no matter what color the people are in it. It doesn't matter. The first Gladiator movie wasn't even that good. Holy moly. You people are like the photo negative of progressives and their fixation on representation.
>>200739463
>>200739952Denzel, looks gud as fuck. 1 of the few top teir black actors in the game.......stay madd Niggers. lets see u do a better job then him. otherwise stfu
>>200740148true. pedowood, never does anything correct. and they are slooooooow to "change" . they dont' know how to include women, P.O.C without OVER saturation of them.its stupid, its pointless and waste of time. doesn't FIX the hollyweird issues they continue to have. idc, idgaf about blacks in cinema. I just dont wanna c 90% of black(s) in 90% of everything in hollywood. it makes no sense. there's NOT that many black ppl irl for it to be a "Real" representation. imjs. like i said; they always get it completely wrong, ass-backwards.
>>200741019AGREED !! lost souls, lost minds ITT
>>200739463KEKUS
>>200739952zesty
>>200739463dropped
>>200739463yes, because gladiator franchise has been known to be historically accurateLMAO
>>200739748Did you ever think that injecting blacks into a period where they simply weren't there/didn't belong just turns people into bigger racists because when they disagree/question/criticize it, you scream 'RACIST' at them?Why not just make a good movie and leave the social justice out of it?
>>200741827Could have had a starship landing there, and still wouldn't justify black Romans being in the movieDeal with it
>>200742170This. The only thing thay taught me is to automatically avoid them in nodern movies. If not avoid modern movies at all.We warned you, woketards, but you didn't listen
>>200739549Who voted him into the senate? Rome didn't have the modern american equivalent of negro districts that elect their own congresspeople.
>>200739804if you didn't care you wouldn't add these characters in the first place, and you wouldn't be here screeching to defend it.
>>200742413>This. The only thing thay taught me is to automatically avoid them in nodern movies. If not avoid modern movies at all.I used to go to the movies once a month. Now, I'm going maybe twice a year.I actively don't want new tv series or movies released, because I know hollywood will destroy the IP.
>white people protagonists in rome on hbo ok>nigger in the senate not okkys, whitey we wuzzers are even worsedeath to all white people.
>>200739952
>>200742546>death to all white people.but then who will invent literally everything you use?
>>200740202They genuinely think that if they depict enough smart, heroic, or really even just on-par-with-whites assimilated black characters in "it's always been this diverse lol" societies in media that it'll somehow just meme itself into reality.>“Sometimes the nature of a particular show – historical dramas, for instance – makes diversity more of a challenge,” he says.>Moffat talks about the idea he mentions above — the excuse of “historical accuracy” that some people often give to justify an all-white cast — “We’ve got to tell a lie: we’ll go back into history and there will be black people where, historically, there wouldn’t have been, and we won’t dwell on that. We’ll say, ‘To hell with it, this is the imaginary, better version of the world. By believing in it, we’ll summon it forth.’”
i doubt there was a sub-Saharan African roman senator
>>200739952remember when there were those rumours of denzel having alzeimers
my nigga Juba will return
>>200739549No it didn't
>>200739952https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septimius_SeverusGet rekt chuds
>>200740202The jew who made Doctor Who woke said they're trying to summon forth a new reality
>>200742940>Severus hadItalicandPunicancestry; the Roman ancestry came from his mother's side, while his Punic ancestry came from his father's side.[8]
>>200742940wikipedia isn't a reliable source.
>>200739748This is true because when tyrants took over Rome they imported many immigrants in order to dilute roman power base and play off natural romans against the immigrants.When Rome was a republic you did not have many foreigners in the roman senate, if you did they were rich people who came from other cities in Italy.
>>200739804Why add them if you don't care?
>>200742522I went to movies at least 1 time per week until 15 years ago. It's been 7 years that I don't watch anything made after 2012
>>200739549No it didn't.
>>200742940The were no black romans.Get rekt invader
>>200743086It's a good thing you can check the citations then
>>200743537I'm just taking the piss, that's just who he's gonna be playing in the movie.
>>200743537There were, though often considered a novelty
>>200743757Even if that shit wasn't darkened by dirt and time, the fetishisting search for remote one i billion exception that only exist to jsutify racial politics still has no place in a movieJust cast caucasian people and be done with it
>>200739549successfully walk across the Sahara then make your retarded claim
>>200739759Julius Caesar packed the senate with people from conquered territories so he can get his way in the senate. I’m sure all the dictators that came after him did the same thing too.
>>200739549not really
>>200743757That's not a nigger you retard
>>200744650No, he did that with latinized noble gauls coming from Cisalpine Gaul (northern Italy). Cisalpine Gaul had already been a roman province for decades
>>200739463>faggots and transvestites in roman showbased and historically accurate>niggers in roman shownot accurate so not based
Well at least it came out now so I know I don't have to waste any time or attention on this trash from now on.
>>200739463Yet another piece of goytertainment I won't even pirate, thank you chudcel.The very last thing I tried watching was "The Boys", turned it off when Éomer pronounced the phrase "my wife's son", before that it was "The Witcher" in 2019, I think I lasted two episodes before throwing it in the bin.
>>200742940Punics and Levantines weren't tar-black.
>>200742940>Libyans are black>>200743757>Brown people are blackBlack peepo back then were eggplant black.
>>200739952>black guy as a roman rulerWhat is this sh->It's DenzelI'll allow it.
