history is history, fantasy is fantasy. Why the director chose to make Cleopatra look East African or Tanzanian or something.

Why is everybody getting all triggered over black actors and actresses doing something?

ok but since this isnt a fictional story, Cleopatra is absolutely greek, this isnt Wakanda forever or Lord Of The Rings. Lets reverse it. Why do you think Christopher Hemsworth was not picked to play Muhammed Ali and Will Smith was picked instead? a why was Jamie Foxx picked to play Mike Tyson over Leonardo Di Caprio? Theres a reason, ill wait and its not because of racism......

It was also a couple thousand years ago. Nobody really knows what she was. Black Greeks at that time weren't an impossibility.

oh no we really do know. You just have to look at her grandfather, her father, her, her lineage. Shes 100% Greek/Iranian and all the kings married their sisters, they literally kept it in the family for the most part. Royalty do NOT mix races. Its very very very rare. Not even Obama mixes race lol. Prince Harry thats an anomoly and theres a few others, but theres no way back then a Greek King or a Ceasar would of mixed race, probably one of the reasons Ceasar was into Cleopatra was she looked Greek/Roman.

its really not plausable. Also this isnt 2500BC, its 50BC. For Cleopatra the 7th to be nigerian or from Tanzania or Sudan would be like winning lotto jackpot.

I didn't say it was 2500BC.

right but thats the ONLY era and maybe even before that an Ethiopian Cleopatra makes sense. Heres another issue you have with a nigerian looking warrior woman as Cleopatra...the name Cleopatra? ONLY existed after the first GREEK Pharoah. She took up the name , created the name after her husband conquered Egypt with Alexander The Great. So the name itself is Greek

Libs wouldn't allow that movie to be made today... LOL

This Link to Oxford University Press Article in 2010 by Duane W. Roller,
substantiates your meme claim quite concisely

just looking at Cleopatras bust, her fathers bust and her grandfathers bust is more than ample to understand this woman is absolutely 100% persian/Greek a bit of sryian heritage, NOT Tanzanian, or Sudanese or a warrior woman in Nigeria that Jade Pinkett Smith and her mates think they can piss all over for financial gain and to push some wierd narrative that are somehow Cleopatra the 7th is some warrior woman from Oyo or Dahomey in Nigeria. lol

Cleopatra with the long line of incest you coudl argue was like a GREEK governer overseeing Egypt. The men and the women never F'd outside the family. SO you could Argue....even though she was BORN IN EGYPT by 2 greek/iranians ...that her heritage is so strong with incest shes barely African.

Thinking that this depiction of Cleopatra is a historically accurate depiction of a Greek queen of Egypt
is like thinking that Denzel Washington in The Bards' Play is historically accurate in it's depiction of a King of Scotland.
Or, for that matter, that any of Wm Shakespeare's Plays were anything more than entertaining historical fiction narratives, based on elements of historical facts.

If it is decent acting, one can relate and enjoy the presentation and be entertained, while also holding the idea might not depict historical fact; and as such may come to the understanding that this type of venture can point out the ideals of a free human, their thoughts and actions, are more human elements than the actors ethnicity deliberately chosen by the director.

Live Stage Productions of the play "Julius Caesar" have been put on, where all dialogue from Shakespeare is spoken with accuracy, yet all the actors in the play are dressed in WWII era Nazi Military Uniforms, rather than the standard Toga of the historically accurate timeline garb.

One benefit of artistic license taken by directors and producers, is that such a depiction entices the audience to focus on what is said, rather than what is seen.

not if its a historically accurate documentary its not lol. It should be historically accurate, not creative licenced. AT LEAST not combine WAKANDA with Alexandria or Greece or Iran lol. They aint the same thing.

Wakanda = 50BC Egypt with a Greek queen? thats what they are trying to portray here. lol

Point taken. That's ironically quite humorous, if historical accuracy is their goal.

Aye . . . and now they have managed to tick off the entire nation of Egypt. Way to go leftists! Let's totally alienate more nominal allies with this WOKE and historically inaccurate EQUITY garbage.
