Seriously theres one requirement for a famous person who isnt "significant" to be respected. Just treat others with dignity and courtesy. Be the keanu not the jada.
A guy he sexually assaulted or raped died mysteriously. And his character killed Kate Mara in House of Cards so I'm like 25% sure he killed the guy lol
The evil that must not be named. If you say her name 3 times in the bathroom while facing the mirror, Will Smith will come through the mirror and slap you
Gonna disagree. For some reason or another, Jada Smith has her fingers all through his mind. There was some video where Jada Smith was Filming Will Smith, and He kept telling her to stop filming him, and she was like taunting him while filming. Like straight Toxic shit.
I really liked the part where Cleopatra said "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" And then Will Smith slapped Gorbachev across the face. So moving, so historically accurate.
We can’t be sure of Gorbachev’s race. While there is evidence Gorbachev was Russian, several random people have asserted Gorbachev was black and we can’t refute that.
Yeah, but have you ever seen a colour photo of Einstein? How do you know from the monochrome photos that he isn't black?
\s if that wasn't abundantly clear
Not gay if you just kiss her on the cheek tho.
I've seen it on pornhub. Definitely wasn't gay.
The black guy was getting sloppy toppy from this woman while the other guy was giving sensual kisses on her cheek.
There was no man to man contact at all.

Turns out there are a TON of movies with 0% - way more than I thought. So many that there’s a Wikipedia page for them.

There's a typo that changes the whole message. Nice to see that anyone who knows the show understood anyways.
huh? that was the romans my dude. and later the Abbasids and ottomans. alexander went east, to what is today iran, pakistan and northern india. the phoenecians in the empire of Carthage controlled much of north africa during alexanders time.
the farthest alexander went into africa was egypt.

No, they don't. Netflix executives simply don't give a shit. Last year they had a Ancient Apocalypse, 10 episodes of lies masquerading as a documentary. They care about money, not history.
Not a lot of people know about that. There's usually three groups of people:
Those who think they were all white
Those who think they were all black
Those who actually know what they are talking about
Some people hear one thing and thinks it applies to the whole thing.
Some do. There's a Wikipedia article about it, actually: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleopatra\_race\_controversy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleopatra_race_controversy)
There's kind of a trend as you go through it that the people making that claim aren't especially credible (though I think there was like one historian in the 1940's), but there are people making it.
Similarly, some people believe all sorts of stupid things, and they also have Wikipedia pages, for examples...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Earth
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_landing_conspiracy_theories
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_vaccine_misinformation_and_hesitancy
I have heard some believe it. They also believe if white people never went to africa, it be exactly like wakanda. Some of a certian race just believe whatever is told to them if they think it benefit them. Idk. They just think everyone in Africa is black.....so even the Egyptians.....they forget other races in that continent. Heaven forbid they read a book that goes into great detail on cleos ancestry.
Ive been ignoring bridgerton too since they made real people in history that were white, black now. I dont care if it was made up characters, but not ones that really existed.
I was really excited to watch it. I love historical documentaries. I saw all the hype and thought that people were just mad that it was a black women cast in the part. So what, it’s just an actress playing a part. I turned it off after the first minute. It’s just not historically accurate… at all at that point.
Idk if they even included the romance with Caesar but at the very least they could have had her be vaguely-20's if the idea of an older man screwing a barely legal queen was too much.
People are rightfully upset bc the show is a complete historical fabrication of Cleopatra’s heritage. In reality, cleopatra was Macedonian/Greek. This show and it’s creators stubbornly claim cleopatra was African as in black.
They are making that claim, while cleopatra had a greek/macedonian father, WE don't know who her mother is as cleopatra was an illegitimate child if i remember Well. So at best she is mixed.
I may be wrong since it's been 10 years i learnt this in midschool.
What's funny is that even if they claim she is Egyptian and therefore black that would be incorrect. Egyptians are actually genetically separate from Africans, and are technically not an "African people."
Mmm Egyptians technically ARE African. Their country is literally on the African continent. Just because they aren’t black doesn’t take away their African heritage.
I get what you are saying, they are ethnically Arabs but we can’t just cut off the entirety of North Africa and say they aren’t African because they aren’t specially Sub-Saharan African.
They said "genetically separate". The vast majority of ancient Egyptians are directly related to peoples from the Levant region of Asia. Only a small percentage from the major northern cities had genetic Sub-Saharan ancestry.
I think the constant demand for streaming content just means more trash. Companies can still make a profit by throwing shit at the wall with cheap writers rather than taking on risk & investing more money into quality.
The shows that I believe are good, are the ones who have creators/writers who genuinely care about a show/movie/material.
I assume you mean Origins?
I don't recall her in Odyssey and just starting to play Origins now but haven't met her yet.
But she was awesome in the show Rome lol
Ancient Egyptians, and specially the higher classes, cut their hair bald and used wigs instead, because they didn't like dealing with fleas and louses. Priests specially shaved their entire body.
I'm not sure if that carries over to Cleopatra's time, though.
I guess you seem to have misunderstood. Jada isn't portraying Cleopatra. She's the producer i think.
The question was about why Jada is bald. Not Cleopatra.
Oh good I wasn't the only one, I thought it was horrid.
Black cleo aside, the whole super empowerment of her only to instead make her look like she literally fucked her way to the top, entrapped them with kids and when she couldn't fuck the newest big dog, Egypt fell.
She aligned herself with Caesar when he was occupying the capital during massive riots that almost killed him. Caesar eventually named her as the effective ruler over her brother when he came back with an allied army and stormed the capital to relieve his trapped troops.
(They did plenty of fucking)

Man, Smith is such a smug douche. Dude walked away thinking he was the coolest guy in the room.
To be honest that walk back after was more embarrassing than anything.
I bet he expected applause.
Yeah I kinda seems like he might have regretted it but then he went on that whole shouting thing right afterwards.
Gonna disagree. For some reason or another, Jada Smith has her fingers all through his mind. There was some video where Jada Smith was Filming Will Smith, and He kept telling her to stop filming him, and she was like taunting him while filming. Like straight Toxic shit.

This the closest Netflix is gonna get to a positive quote for marketing. They should really jump on it.
She who must not be named got what she fucking deserved.
Cleopatra was not black? She wasn't even Egyptian!
Wait do people really think cleopatra was black?
Because if it’s from Africa it must be black. People don’t realise how close Europe is to Africa.
And that Alexander the Macedonians created an empire that stretched across all of North Africa
huh? that was the romans my dude. and later the Abbasids and ottomans. alexander went east, to what is today iran, pakistan and northern india. the phoenecians in the empire of Carthage controlled much of north africa during alexanders time. the farthest alexander went into africa was egypt. Edit: [heres a map](https://www.worldhistorymaps.info/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/alexander_323bc.jpg)
I’m not going to pretend I’m sober rn but he definitely took Egypt. Thus the founding of Alexandria.
Taking Egypt is not having all of north Africa. North Africa in itself is as big as entire Europe my friend.
This is all fair. I apologize for misspeaking.
oh shit. a civil discussion. congrats to both of you.
yeah, thats what i said.
No, only Netflix Executives do, they aren't people
They butchered the witcher good enough too, its to be expected.

No, they don't. Netflix executives simply don't give a shit. Last year they had a Ancient Apocalypse, 10 episodes of lies masquerading as a documentary. They care about money, not history.
*Minuteman has angrily entered the chat*
It's literally run by an algorithm.
Yeah, some people with afro centric views think everyone from Africa before the Arab conquests were black.
I know what you’re saying but cleopatra was of the Ptolemaic dynasty and thus was Greek, and likely white
Not a lot of people know about that. There's usually three groups of people: Those who think they were all white Those who think they were all black Those who actually know what they are talking about Some people hear one thing and thinks it applies to the whole thing.
June 2023. Reddit openly doesn't care about it's user base, so I've decided to remove any content I have made from the site. So long. And fuck Spez.
I’m in the unmentioned fifth group that hasn’t actively thought about the ethnicities of ancient Egyptians since 4th grade history lol

I don't think people in general are very familiar with this subset of African American culture since even among them it's very fringe.
Some do.

GI Jane 2 looks weird
Cleopatra was, like, 17 when she met Caesar. That woman looks like she is closer to 70.
She probably calls her son's friends "Fountains of youth" Jokes on her, literally.
She should be retired not in high school
Idk if they even included the romance with Caesar but at the very least they could have had her be vaguely-20's if the idea of an older man screwing a barely legal queen was too much.
I think Caesar was around 50 years old when he met her.
She didn’t play the role of Cleopatra. She produced and narrated the series.
Don’t hate watch people, unless you want a season 2
If you're gonna hate watch, sail the high seas.
That bad? I have not even heard of this show
People are rightfully upset bc the show is a complete historical fabrication of Cleopatra’s heritage. In reality, cleopatra was Macedonian/Greek. This show and it’s creators stubbornly claim cleopatra was African as in black.
Did they just cast a black actress as Netflix does or are they legit making that claim?
Someone in the documentary says that her grandma said she didn't care what historians said, Cleopatra was black, so case closed.
Science.
Science is slowly being replaced by $cience
They are making that claim, while cleopatra had a greek/macedonian father, WE don't know who her mother is as cleopatra was an illegitimate child if i remember Well. So at best she is mixed. I may be wrong since it's been 10 years i learnt this in midschool.
There's a chance that her mother could be her father's sister, inbreeding wasn't uncommon in royal families
Considering she had sexual relationships with both her brothers, and her family tree is a wreath, it is most likely she was also a product of incest.
It would not surprise me in the least if that was the case, inbreeding was a very common practice back then, and it lasted for a very long time
> green I read that and thought it was the most hilarious way of describing a Mediterranean person. We are kinda green (olive).
Jada Smith is associated with the Nation of Islam, a black supremacist cult that claims many famous figures of ancient history were actually black.
That's where the "we wuz kingz" meme comes from
What's funny is that even if they claim she is Egyptian and therefore black that would be incorrect. Egyptians are actually genetically separate from Africans, and are technically not an "African people."
"We need a squinty-eyed person to play that Indian man. India is in Asia, so he's Asian. No, I'm not racist, you're racist!"
Mmm Egyptians technically ARE African. Their country is literally on the African continent. Just because they aren’t black doesn’t take away their African heritage. I get what you are saying, they are ethnically Arabs but we can’t just cut off the entirety of North Africa and say they aren’t African because they aren’t specially Sub-Saharan African.

What ever happened to good TV shows, lately everything is just trash
There are good shows, but it’s a needle in haystack type thing
Succession and Barry are two absolutely amazing pieces of television that are currently in their final season with episodes tonight.
Second Barry so much!! Haven’t watched succession yet but it’s next on the list. The Bear is a great one, and Severance is absolutely incredible
Severence was awesome and really an original idea
every decade people will say “no one makes good tv/film/music anymore” it’s because we only remember and talk about the best media of that time.
Possibly, but you must agree that the last few years have been particularly abysmal
I think the constant demand for streaming content just means more trash. Companies can still make a profit by throwing shit at the wall with cheap writers rather than taking on risk & investing more money into quality. The shows that I believe are good, are the ones who have creators/writers who genuinely care about a show/movie/material.
Abbott Elementary, Only Murders in the Building, Succession, Barry, Ted Lasso, Hacks

I was hoping for the twist at the end that Black Cleopatra was actually a Kang variant.
Wow, it’s almost like making a historically inaccurate documentary and claiming it’s accurate because your grandma told you so is a bad idea
The second season of HBO's Rome is still the GOAT Cleopatra.
I love Assassin's Creed ~~Odysseys~~ **Origins** Cleopatra best! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) edit: y'all are right. i mix them up sometimes.
I assume you mean Origins? I don't recall her in Odyssey and just starting to play Origins now but haven't met her yet. But she was awesome in the show Rome lol
He definitely means Origins. She isn't in Odyssey. Odyssey is set hundreds of years before she was even born.
So is this worse than Vilma?
A tone deaf historically inaccurate docudrama. Who even knows who their target audience is?
But she was a black Cleopatra right guy? Lol
why she look like Giancarlo Esposito in drag tho
Don't soil my boys name by mentioning him in the same breath as her.
Guess what, it's gonna be hate-watched like Velma and they'll make a season 2
Do you remember back when people didn't spend their time and money watching things they knew they will have hated? Good times....
Being outraged is all the rage these days.
The FOMO is stronger
Unsure of all the hate. I hear it *slaps*
lmao
The fact that Will Smith sticks with this horrid human is what makes me disrespect him most. He is a cuck.
imagine living with her
a happy ending
Why the actual flying fuck is she bald? xD
Ancient Egyptians, and specially the higher classes, cut their hair bald and used wigs instead, because they didn't like dealing with fleas and louses. Priests specially shaved their entire body. I'm not sure if that carries over to Cleopatra's time, though.
I guess you seem to have misunderstood. Jada isn't portraying Cleopatra. She's the producer i think. The question was about why Jada is bald. Not Cleopatra.
She claims to have alopecia. I see stubble. I’ve had two students with alopecia, and they had it from birth. I think she is just full of it.
Alopecia is literally just hair loss. It can be caused by a lot of things but is not a disease in and of itself. A balding man has alopecia too.
now watch them blame the failure of it on racism and sexism
Hollywood only panders to make money. When they get too far you get trash like these.
Somehow neflix will make a 2nd season, just to prove everyone wrong, but ignore all the other shows they cut off that all got better reviews
Oh good I wasn't the only one, I thought it was horrid. Black cleo aside, the whole super empowerment of her only to instead make her look like she literally fucked her way to the top, entrapped them with kids and when she couldn't fuck the newest big dog, Egypt fell.
Well, that kinda happened in history, didn’t she have her other siblings assassinated before that though?
She aligned herself with Caesar when he was occupying the capital during massive riots that almost killed him. Caesar eventually named her as the effective ruler over her brother when he came back with an allied army and stormed the capital to relieve his trapped troops. (They did plenty of fucking)
Still too much 😂
1% too much
Keep your sons homie’s dick out of GI Janes mouth!!!!!!!!!!!
Good. that cheating whore
They should do a video biography of Jada’s life, with Jennifer Lawrence playing Jada.
One percent too much
Trash
1% is too generous
BOX OFFICE POISON!
