I'm willing to bet it looks almost exactly like the lesbian kiss scene in rise of Skywalker. The only thing it adds is saying it happened.
No one cares for this.
What's with Hollywood making a character black even if it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. A black Roman Emperor? Really? The Romans were not that progressive. It feels so forced.
It's like the producers heard emperor Macrinus was from Africa and they're like "oh he was black!" No he was a Roman provincial born in Africa. He was not of African descent. It reminds me of that Cleopatra documentary. A complete ignorance of northern Africa and it's ethnic populations, considering to this day northern Africans are not ethnically black.
Why not just make a movie about George Washington and hire Morgan Freeman?
Anyways, it's weird when Hollywood race swaps. And as someone who loves roman history, the whole thing is really distracting.
I think for something that's clearly not meant to be very historically accurate race swapping is fine. If we always have strict racial rules then vaguely historical movies are always going to be contributing to role inequalities for non-white people.
He's acting like a white guy
Nobody cares, this is some manufactured issue for clicks. Just let it die and move on.
