New Trailer: Queen Cleopatra (documentary) Netflix
- Thread starter playahaitian
- Start date
CACs are already on the verge of wilding over this docuseries. Nearly made a thread about it.
Hahah man fucc dem
Well there were many Cleopatra's and if this is the one who was with Caesar and Marc Antony than she looked more like Elizabeth Taylor. But given its some shit produced by Jada Pinkett Smith and Jada is a dumbass she probably wouldn't know this.
Beat me to it. Lolz at Jada producing this. It's going to be review bombed.
I didn't watch Rome but I know what the actress that played Cleopatra looks like and yes, you that's about right. There are coins with her face on it.
Cleopatra was Macedonian and not known for her beauty but rather her powers of social manipulation.
Bitch was probably very average looking but could suck an emperor dry.
This makes sense because if she was good at finessing dudes, that means she had game, which you wouldn't need if you were a beautiful woman.
The "Cleopatra was beautiful" shit didn't start until Elizabeth Taylor played her on screen.
I don't even know when the Cleopatra was black shit started. (Maybe the cornrows on the coin?) Greek chicks have curly, coarse hair and can wear braids, too. Sistas try to claim Cleopatra when Nefertiti, an Egyptian queen actually known for her beauty, exists.

Yeah, that bitch looks like a witch. My guess is they're doing Cleopatra whatever number first to gin up some attention. There are apparently other Afrtican queens they plan to feature.
So they aren't just doing Cleopatra? This is shit that Jada Pinkett is producing. This bitch is the gift that keeps giving.
That coin ugly as fuck.
Man, fuck Ben Shapiro. Jew bitch sounds like a fuckin' cartoon character.
If Jesus can be white Cleopatra can cetainly be black and she may have been. Cacs just can't have that because it fucks up that white skin superiority myth.

Nope. They also have one planned for Queen Nzinga of Angola. Thats all I've heard so far.
yes...good info bro....we cant claim this one
That leaves the question of why people want to claim her. Is it because Cleopatra is a familiar name or what? I have nothing against this upcoming docuseries but I do wonder why they felt the need to make it.
'Queen Cleopatra' director responds to criticism of casting Black star
Netflix's 'Queen Cleopatra' has received criticism for casting Black actress Adele James as the historical figure, but the director says the casting is more historically accurate than past depictions.
She was a heavily inbred Greek cac
Her mothers identify has never been proven and a lot of scholars hypothesize her mother was African. Thou it’s all guessing cause no one actually knows
This is one of the rare cases where the haters are not only probably factually correct but aren't primarily critical of the casting. Moreso they don't like the fact the doc said she was "Black."'Queen Cleopatra' director responds to criticism of casting Black star

That's a great damn point.Man, fuck Ben Shapiro. Jew bitch sounds like a fuckin' cartoon character. If Jesus can be white, Cleopatra can cetainly be black and she may have been. Cacs just can't have that because it fucks up that white skin superiority myth.
Until very recently, all the interpretations of biblical characters has ALWAYS been through the gaze of White people. All of the important "pop culture" media versions have been made with White actors. Which is NOT accurate.
That is until the Steven Speilberg produced; "The Prince of Egypt".
And even that was predominately voiced by White celebrities.

But make one series with a Black Cleopatra, (racially accurate or not) and now them motherfuckers cry ; "woke" and want to boycott and cancel their Netflix subscriptions...
Mostly bluffing. They're not cancelling shit over this.That's a great damn point.

They'll argue, though, that it's not touted as a drama series but as a docuseries. It's supposed to stick to the "facts."
I'm actually curious to see this series now just to see if it's a PBS caliber doc or just some bullshit you might catch on the "History" channel.
Netflix Is Getting Sued For Portraying Cleopatra As Black. Now The Film’s Director Speaks Out
A new Netflix series is being sued over its depiction of Cleopatra.
Interesting debate,we'll just have to wait and see when the series drops.
Didn't want to add to the page's view count, but do they say who's suing?

Now, I don't believe Cleopatra was any more Black than Elizabeth II but the response to this is ridiculous. These CACs don't mind "History" channel running a program for over decade that claims aliens built everything but claiming an African queen in Black is one toke over the line.
Get the fuck outta here.
