Hey that is my country Benin , Dahomey was the kingdom and Abomey was their capital and the Dahomey Amazonian corps were the king bodyguards, shock troops and Special forces
I definitely need to wake up in that time. Surrounded by my race of women who accept they’re beauty, reject straight hair & embrace they’re warrior spirit. I’ll be trained to become the greatest Warrior The Universe has ever known.
This is the Dohomay's All-woman AGOJIE warriors thru a disrespectful White Feminist narrative. The Agojie were the personal bodyguards of the Dahomay King and royal family, plus being upward to 2000 strong were a supplement to the Dohomay Army. Agojie warriors were not only warriors, but community leaders, teachers, mothers, wives and they LOVED their people and husbands. The only one's they hated were ENEMIES to their people. They were so strategic and fierce in battles, not only did they kill enemies but cut their heads off and laid them before the king as honor to the King, Queen Mothers and Dahomay people. Contrary to the OBVIOUS modern feminist video, Ogojie weren't man haters; they only hated ENEMIES.
I aknowledge african history and good point, but just relax. This isn't History Channel, so white feminist narratives are valid as long it contributes to fantasy/sci-fi narratives. Why you have to complain about "the whites". Maybe it was a black woman or man who didn't care or realized. As I told the aforementioned: It belongs to a fantasy/sci-fi driven narrative for hell's sake...
She had the capacity to go to infinite universes and infinite earths. Although it may be based off the Agojie warriors from our planet, this could be what's playing out in another universe. With scifi you can expect such creative liberties
@@rodaspinu both you and the OP are clueless and annoying but on opposite sides. Neither of you are helping to empower nor heal black women with anything you’re saying. I have actually experienced being pretty much the only black girl in an all white girl school. I have experienced so much racism as a child alone, it straight up broke my psyche. I didnt even want to live. Guess what? I was angry. I was so fucking angry. Because I’m a human being and anger is a human emotion we all experience. Watching this episode was so empowering. I never was ‘allowed’ to show or feel my anger. Always keep it in for appearances as a black girl and it got so bad over the years I developed serious anger management issues bc I suppressed for so long. This scene was meant to express things like that. Black women literally making ourselves sick suppressing anger bc of stereotypes. Anger needs to be let out, it’s okay to be angry esp this was all justified. Her husband took advantage but he wasn’t abusive or hateful NOR WAS IT PAINTED THAT WAY. This is the type of work that actually HEALS PEOPLE. Acknowledging, naming & validating emotions, esp anger. OP most def isn’t comfortable with black women actually healing for god knows what reason and you dont grasp the depth of colonization & racism.
What is this? It just popped up on my timeline.....and it looks fucking awesome....what looks to be transmigration and badass warrior women...ummm...yes please *leaves to research the hell outta this
Hippolyta accidentally activated a time machine that sent her to the future where time lords gave her the power to travel anywhere in time and space. The numbers don't have any real meaning other than an arbitrary idea of when and where she is at that given moment.
@@Shelbert88 Ok, gotcha. Where did the Confederate soldiers fighting the Amazons cone from though? (I know it’s not on this video, but I saw it in another)
@@ursaminor9780 I'm not really sure about that one. After she becomes the leader of the female army they sort of just appear and then give her the big moment of fighting off the oppressors. The show takes a lot of liberties when it comes to historical accuracy
@@ursaminor9780 , my understanding is that it's inspired by a battle between the Dahomey Amazons and the French, maybe in Confederate uniforms for connecting context for Americans and the Black American experience and history.
@@B.B.Digital_Forest The series is based off of a fusion of Jim Crow south and Lovecraft. Historical accuracy of that caliber is not really on their radar. They're probably spending more on the CGI.
@@wj3186 There's historical fiction, science fiction, fantasy fiction, fan fiction etc. Not liking one genre of fiction is not evidence one dislikes all genres of fiction, so it is not evidence of not liking fiction. They may have baited into watching thinking it was historical which they might like, so they are disappointed to find it's something else. I'm not sure what sort of fiction this show is. It looks like delusional fiction to me. An example of that would be the movie "naked lunch".
A tiny French army of 2,000 men crushed the Dahomey amazons in the Franco-Dahomean wars of the 1890s :) Interestingly, French soldiers admitted the Amazons (numbering about 1,500) were much better warriors than the male soldiers of Dahomey!
@@pedroperez6676 Yep. I think that shows just how powerful the Amazon’s were. The fact that they probably lost because they didn’t have much modern weaponry shows just how highly trained they were. I wonder if they did have more modern utilary, what they would be like now.
I love this episode and the show my only question is the lead warrior man or woman? the warrior that's teaching Hyppolata is it a male actress dressed up to play a role as a female Amazonian Warrior?
@@clobbyhops "Sense" You don't even have SENSE enough to know you have to have OPTIONS to de "desperate". And I KNOW you have ZERO!!! So keep having a relationship with your forearm, maybe you two should get married. Looool. Boy Bye!!!
@@clobbyhops I'm sorry you may be a woman, if so I'm pretty sure it was your bf or husband (probably brother too) who were "Sneaking out the house to get to these women" and now you mad. Bwhahaha. Hey I would do the same if my wife looked like you looooooooool.
@@kha01ja18 The writing was kinda bad. I loved the first two episodes, but it was a downward spiral from there. It had its great moments (like the demon twins), but half the time I was asking myself what the heck was going on, and not in a good way.
Man I love Hippolyta. This show is amazing
I love how they teleport to the past, present, and future.
This was a damn great series and I wish they would do more .

Greatest series ever. I related to this character so very much 🔥🔥🔥
The scream heard around the world
This hits different after seeing The Woman King.
Hey that is my country Benin , Dahomey was the kingdom and Abomey was their capital and the Dahomey Amazonian corps were the king bodyguards, shock troops and Special forces
Why are they speaking English. Should they be speaking Fon.
I thought this was black panther for a second.
Nah but the dora milage took inspiration from the dahomey warriors
Bruh
Dahomey is called Benin, now. Nice place, great cuisine.
That’s what my homies said
“Now, GETDEFUCKUP!!”
"Not just _any_ homie, mind you"
I absolutely love this show. Makes me wonder how season 2 will play out
I hope it's like Jojo's Bizare Adventure...generations of Tic's family fighting against evil. Don't bring back Tic.
Will there be a season 2?
Yes there will be a season 2 according to HBO
@@Synch340 Sadly, not any more.
🥺
"Why am I hiaaaa"
I love the references to African history
Dope. That lady is a dangerous fighter.
We NEED another season!
I definitely need to wake up in that time. Surrounded by my race of women who accept they’re beauty, reject straight hair & embrace they’re warrior spirit. I’ll be trained to become the greatest Warrior The Universe has ever known.
you know they got squashed by the french
I suggest Ghana, it seems to be the only stable African country. Otherwise good luck surviving Africa lol
And where they speak perfect english lmaoo
@@mastema3034 Shit who cares went out like a boss
What I don't get is how Hippolyta, someone with zero combat skills, was able to develop those skills by just being there. Not everyone is an athlete.

It’s a show called Lovecraft Country on HBO and more. Thank me later!❤️☺️
Yeah it really looks like a good show
Awesome
Quite intresting how there’s another dahomey adaptation before The Woman King
Hey...where's hippolyta
Me: over there with dahomie
the best show in the world omg omg omg so cool
She teleported to know her self ...she is feminine and masculine finding balance to know that she is "I Am"
That going to the past spell looked like it hurt
WELL MY DAMN BAD
Exactly like in the books...
Aparantly I'm missing out on a good show
yes its them bomb
x
I am (mutha-F**K'in) Hippolyta!
Why is the filming bouncing so much? Is this a new way to film? The next "shaky camcorder"?
Look at the hunger games cornucopia bloodbath scene🙄you will love it
Who else came here because of The Woman King movie!
Can someone please explain the numbers? I haven’t seen the show yet, so I don’t have full context.

I don't care what they teach you in school, Lovecraft was black
Why did they have to get the clothing all wrong? Who produced this? Beyonce?
I don't think historical accuracy was the goal considering she cursed.

The Zulus destroyed the British in the battle of Islawanda even though the British had better technology
This is Woman King !!!!
Lmao
so many black chics in one place
Why are mino being romanticized?
Подскажите пожалуйста как называется сериал этот
Lovecraft Country
Why the speaking English if they are in Dahomey they should be speaking Yoruba.
Who says they are actually
speaking English?
Now there making a movie woman king
I love this episode and the show my only question is the lead warrior man or woman? the warrior that's teaching Hyppolata is it a male actress dressed up to play a role as a female Amazonian Warrior?

No one’s doesn’t want to be a black warrior woman all the damn time. smh
Love all of this but the Roman helmet made no sense
And the rest does ?
