    The population of the United States. But then you could probably extend that to most western nations perpetuating this nonsense.

    Egypt isn't all that happy with NETFLIX's dumb ass interpretation of Cleopatra which is described as a documentary. So while we won't go to war over that dumb movie. It certainly isn't building bridges!

    LOL.

    Most of the population doesn’t give a **** and has more important stuff to bitch about, assuming of course they even know what they’re talking about. So what “us” are you referring to again?

    Female Oceans 11 movie.
    Black Little Mermaid

    I was actually referring to the movies “Exodus: Gods and Kings” and also “Gods of Egypt” that came out in 2014 and 2016 respectively.

    How does a fictional character erase anything?

    Well you can start with neither of those being documentary's...so they are allowed some artistic license. And we can just also acknowledge that Egyptians more closely resemble WHITE people then they do blacks for obvious reasons.

    Anyone have an issue with this?

    Let’s put these into context, shall we?

    Ghostbusters 2016 only made $229 million worldwide so that was really the only bust.

    Oceans 8 made almost $300 million worldwide on a $70 million budget and came out the same time as Incredibles 2

    The Little Mermaid has only made $347.2 million worldwide but only theatrically released 2 weeks ago so there’s still time. Of course, most people don’t like the live action remakes of the Disney movies anyway.

    Black Superman (Val-Zod) has actually been in the comics for a few years now, so there’s a real precedent but DC live action movies have been hit or miss lately.

    Black gay James Bond hasn’t even been filming as far as I know so….I don’t know what to say.

    So out of all of those points, you’ve been right on only 1 of them so far.

    Black superman movie produced by Abrams was going to be a black Clark Kent. Not Calvin Ellis.
    https://theplaylist.net/superman-black-clark-kent-warner-bros-20210505/

    But looks like they may have wised up and cancelled it. Lol.

    Female ghost Busters was a flop. I've already detailed how the little mermaid is going to barely break even.

    They haven't cast the new bond yet but last year the white woke woman producer declared proudly that he wouldn't be white.

    As for oceans 8...it did less than oceans 13. And oceans 13 was the worst of the originals. It did so great that there is talks of a sequel...right?

    Oh. Oh wait. They dropped it almost as fast as the all female Ghostbusters movie.

    Just as well for DC because their track record hasn’t been awesome anyway, Ghostbusters was a wreck financially and critically, Oceans 8 actually did well relative to its budget and Little Mermaid “barely breaking even” is still technically breaking even so they win that contest.

    It's just as well for a black actor cast to play white superman Clark Kent would flop.

    As will the black James Bond if that comes about

    The Egyptians are rather upset about the Black Cleopatra.

    Welp, I look forward to seeing you being wrong about this as you have about many other things you’ve said.

    Im sure black people would love to see a real live action on Val-Zod, or any real fan of the comics who read Earth-2

    Black Clark Kent. Get it right. They are making black Kal el. Clark Kent. Not the guy you think.

    According to the article I posted which you didn't read.

    It's cancelled. They smartened up.

    I know what I said, and I know if they actually did make a Val-Zod Superman movie, folks would see that.

    Well it's good that you pivoted away from what I've said because you probably think the concept of purposefully making Superman black instead of making the movie you propose is stupid.
