That is funny :)
Wonder if she will also make Cleo a lesbian, or if she will cuck Marc Anthony...
You’re a friggen weirdo.
You're picking nits, which are incorrect. Both Cinderella ( ALL of the versions! ) have happy endings as does Snow White. Disney cleaned up some bits and pieces, as they also did with SLEEPING BEAUTY ( which is the MOST gory and also contains two rapes resulting in two bastard children ), but these all have happy endings.
Disney ruins every children's story they have laid their hands on and NOT for the better.
The stupid race change in Mermaid is not quite as bad as what they did to THE FROG PRINCE ( from Europe to New Orleans AND making it an all b lack cast ? Good grief! ) but close.
No, just because something is fiction, does NOT mean that someone else can or should be able to change the race, sex, etc. of ANY story! Especially not when the story is at least a couple of 100 years old or many more older and well known world wide.
And the stupid supposition that Queen Charlotte ( King George III's wife ) was "black" is based on one badly done portrait, 100s of years old rumors that were meant to insult that king and his queen, and tenuously based on a many 100s of years old ancestress, without any proof.
There's more info about the Hittites, but like the Kush, they disappear into historical "fog" at some point.
It's a bit like the Queen of Sheba, in that Sheba MAY have been where Ethiopia is today, but nobody has actually nailed that one down as factual.
Nubia is another story...we do know where that was/is and the Kush may have used a neighboring nation's archers to fight with them in battles.
But for now, just WHERE the Kush Empire was, before they conquered Egypt, remains a mystery.
tsk, tsk, tsk....
I guarantee you loads of blacks will come away believing that Cleopatra was black. So will millions of other Americans. This show has its own built in racial controversy, so I expect it to be a hit.
This is pop culture and will overwhelm any real history that takes some brains (though not much) and effort.
Even now, I am sure millions of blacks here believe we had slavery until 100 years ago. Or less!!
That's the whole point.
Please note :)
That I include non-blacks too! Everyone will be mis-educated via this fake Netflix Cleopatra. And to repeat. I see high ratings. Will Smith’s wife will do great as far as fame and money, as the producer. Or one of the producers.
