>Will never get an Ancient Rome, The Trojan War, Hundred Years War, Diadochi or even Matter of Britain/France show on the scale or rocking as hard as Three Kingdoms.
Why can't the west do good historical epic series?

Race baiting and White guilt, mostly.

Rome ran out of budget like 5 episodes and then got cancelled so had to cram like 60 episodes of content in 10.

Vikings and Spartacus are probably the closest, but Vikings sucks ass because of the shitty costumes and literally no tactics battles.

>Western Three Kingdoms
Who do they turn into the token black character?
Hard mode: no Lu Bu

>>215542681
There is no clear equivalent in the west. Maybe Nibelungen Saga to a degree?

Sun Ce according to Hollyweird is "a Black adjacent" they said after his light brown facial features in most games.

This show is so boring
>ahahah yes I use Superior Chinese Wisdom to ally the land of Ping Pong with Tippy Tong
Rinse and repeat for 60+ episodes. Miss me with that shit desu

>Westerns are getting too expensive to make

Also take into consideration that the skies are filled with airplanes and air plane trails
While shooting a western they need to cover that up. This costs money and a whole lot of extra time

The Nibellungenlied is underrated. It's kind of funny to me that Hagen of all people has had his own movie a few years ago. FUCK Hagen.

Unironically, an epic spanning the Napoleonic wars. The events are roughly analogous.

>The Yellow Turban rebellion
>The French Revolution
>Dong Zhou
>Robespierre and the Reign of Terror
>Cao Cao schemes his way into power, simultaneously being protector of the Han Dynasty and it's ultimate destroyer
>Napoleon schemes his way into power, simultaneously being the protector of the republic and it's ultimate executioner
>Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao's greatest moment
>Battle of Austerlitz Napoleon's greatest moment
>Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's comeuppance
>Battle of Leipzig, Napoleon's comeuppance
>Zhuge Liang's northern expedition, his last ditch effort to save Shuhan
>Napoleon's Waterloo campaign, his last ditch effort to save his empire
