Thank you for watching, Robyn Hood is yet another culturally appropriated piece of media that erases its legacy in order to be used to push politics onto an established fan base. Also an all black cast who’s in a hip hop band called “The Hood”? Really guys? REALLY? Instagram: endymionn Twitter: EndymionYT G-FUEL CODE: ENDYMION G-FUEL LINK: sldr.page.link/L53U
Jesus Christ that is so stupid. Also, and I can't believe this needs to be said, callings people who don't like your show/movie/game and giving it negative reviews racist doesn't help your case. By doing that, it shows that you cannot handle or take criticism.
One correction for you @endymiontv they absolutely know the history and are trying to recast it in peoples minds. It is not done accidentally. It’s a common tactic of communists. Erase the old heroes replace them with your own while changing the value structure.
@@otbaht Actually, BOTH are very good terms for it... something can be appropriated, yet treated with respect... or not... and thus both appropriated and desecrated.
Hey, They saw robin hood and they literally related! They identified with the band of theives so of course they want to be it. Dont you see the people robbing Gucci in LA?
What’s also hilarious is that Robin Hood “stealing from the rich” is by itself a gross modern oversimplification of the character, for he was not stealing from rich people in general so much as he was in actuality taking back peoples money and property that was stolen by a corrupt state. That oversimplification now combined with a Black criminal committing actual theft just makes this all the more darkly funny to me due to how little foresight and self awareness these dolts in charge have.
Reminds me of how in Percy Jackson coming up they'll have Zeus played by a black man. Please, tell me, what is one the most well known things Zeus is known for, and whats a very negative stereotype for black men?
@joewright3190 I think it's hilarious that they hate the thought of a light-skinned man being a symbol of power and authority, only to not see that they're re-enforcing stereotypes for the sake of making blacks have a position of power in film 😂 And here I thought they're supposed to be the ones educating us ignorant folk of this thing.
Race swapping pre-existing characters or historical figures only works in comedy. I would absolutely piss myself if Richard the Lionheart was played by Samuel L. Jackson, yelling "Yeah longbow men, shoot those motherfuckers in the ass"
In my opinion the concept of swapping in a vacuum is not the worst thing in the world. The problem is dam near every single time it's done it's specifically to make a play on some kind of woke agenda. Using that Samuel example they swapped him in for a traditionally white character but he isn't going on all day saying I'm oh so black all day. He just does his role
They also replaced Anne Boleyn with a black actress. A real historical white person. And we are the racists when we talk about it. Would love to see the outrage if Nelson Mandela was played by a white actor. They would go off the chains. But how is this any different than what they did with Anne Boleyn? We are living in a clown world
I got into an 'argument' about this. I said that Clearly the facts and context of a character/person don't matter if they're willing do what they did with Cleopatra and call it a documentary. They said that it wasn't a good example because it sucked and everyone hated it. Dude, the fact that they ignored the facts and context still proves my point.
Creators? This guy isn't a creator, he created nothing, he took an existing story and did his blackness thing to it. There's nothing, NOTHING, original about anything in this show, not even the reaction to the audience calling it for what it is. I mean seriously you people expect any other reaction than pulling the race card from a guy like that?
Their lack of self awareness is gut busting tbh. I love it bc their ideology is unsustainable and ultimately racist itself. It’ll collapse eventually or we will allow society to collapse first. One of the two. People need to stop being pussies and stand against this nonsense publicly cuz after all, if you fire the reasonable 60%+ of the population; who the fuck is gonna do the jobs? We know these woke morons wont, they’re too busy complaining on X 😂
It's honestly to be expected at this point. The pattern nowadays goes something like this: Something woke gets made, turns out to be abhorrently bad, Call audience racist instead of taking accountability for their terrible production. Then the cycle repeats
I stand before ruins of a once grand kingdom. One of joy, riches and imagination. Now the structures are crumbling with rot, the gold has turned to useless rust, any life act like zombies, truly misfortune has all but destroyed greatness
@@TheNightVixenanything included in media devoted solely to pushing the progressive agenda. Whether that be race-swapping characters without changing the source material sufficiently to justify the change, defiling male characters with no consideration given to their previously established character arcs, or the inclusion of poorly written minority characters that are supposed to be liked solely due to the color of their skin, with no redeeming writing qualities . There are more examples of what can be considered “woke,” but those are some of the recurring effects woke ideology has on media
Cleopatra's downfall was about a power struggle between two factions in the Roman Republic not too long after the death of Julius Caesar, not about native Egyptians rejecting the rule of a non-Egyptian queen. Mark Antony had joined an alliance with Cleopatra (a Roman/Ptolemy-Hellenist/Egyptian conglomerate) against Octavian (later "Caesar Augustus") and his Western Roman faction. Antony and Cleopatra were soundly defeated militarily by Octavian's forces, and they both committed suicide rather than be captured to be paraded as war prizes. It had nothing to do with a rebellion by the Egyptians against them.
Also, Alexander didn't choose her, he didn't even know her. He chose her ancestor, Ptolomy, who was one of his Generals. Did Netflix really churn this out?
@@tkraid2575 Netflix didn't say that Cleopatra's downfall was her being rejected and overthrown by her Egyptian subjects, Endymion did. Yes, Netflix put out a massively f***ed-up piece of Afrocentric propaganda with their Cleopatra "documentary," but Endymion totally f***ed-up what happened to her.
Whenever someone says someone else is racist these days I just roll my eyes and think, 'So someone disagreed with you or called you on your bulls&^t' eh?'
Dear Director X, People got upset in the 90s that Robin Hood would be played by Kevin Costner, a white American non British actor. Please decide if cultural appropriation is okay and if it is then I look forward to the day you do MLKs bio-pic starring Matthew McCaughnoughy as MLK! You can cast Samuel Jackson as President Johnson. It’ll be great. True racism is believing that one race has the right to do something another race doesn’t. By appropriating culture in only one direction you prove that you, and your fellow Hollywood creatives have indeed been indoctrinated and brainwashed into your woke religion and have become the very thing you hated: r*cist. You are a true Wokie
Why do you say that? Slavery is the reason why the “culture appropriation” is happening. Because White people forced Black people to assimilate into the culture and accept white holidays and notable figures. Only natural to use the stories they know.
Remember folks, these people can't actually come up with their own work that both catches the eye of the masses and tells a great story while spreading their own ideology. They need to leech off of pre-existing source material because they aren't good writers themselves. That's why stories have gone to shit recently.
@@Oopsibwokeit Same, making books is laying the foundation for Films and Games. People really don’t write like that anymore. And those that do would likely lose creative liberties in any game or show their literature was featured in.
Somewhat, yes. But appropriating English folklore then race swapping everyone only leaving white people as the villain in their own story is...ooof. Reverse that with black folklore & the world would explode
@@EndymionTv Woke and progressive movements are all about revenge, they hate white people because of shit that happened centuries ago. Inclusivity, diversity, equity are just words used to hide what these useless people want to do, which is to hurt and destroy a certain group of people and have the legal means to do so. Just like nazis demonized Jews so they could do the most evil acts possible against them, these so called ''progressives'' are doing on current days.
@@EndymionTvYou have to remember, black people were taken over to America for centuries, weren’t allowed to speak their native tongue or pass down culture. This means Black American culture is Slavery, Jim Crow, Music, and a mix of White folklore. This is simply what happens when you force a people to assimilate with you and lose their cultural identity.

@@EndymionTv Disney getting roasted with Robyn would be great They can just point out the flaws of their shows and never mention race at all Once they react to the episodes and DP mention race, they'll play themselves
@@SonicSkychaserIt's a slow ass cook SP should be like Japanese anime with 2 part seasons first 6 early to comment on later-in-the year events from last year, and 6 episodes later near the end of the year to talk about current events As for the specials, all I can see going on for this year is Garrison preparing to go back as Grump and I hope they show how Bieden is pushing it for Garrison via the migrants, bad schools, high prices, etc
I wish we had more black directors like Antoine Fuqua and the Hughes brothers. It took me about a decade before I realized they made King Arthur and From Hell. Not a single hint of black injustice preaching anywhere to be found. Not even a shred of diversity shoehorned into them. Just a desire to adapt stories as faithfully to the screen as possible.
It's not even the reminder of back injustice that's the problem. I could site several films that have that but never let it overshadow a more universal feeling deep down like Deep Cover or Across 110th Street or Sorry to Bother You or Dope or Devil in a Blue Dress or A Solider Story or Eve's Bayou or Friday, or Blindspotting, and I'm off-topic. Point is, focus on telling a good story at it's core first and foremost is all that's needed.
How many times does calling your audience racist have to backfire before they stop using that as an excuse? Like it hasn’t worked for the past 20+ Hollywood disasters, and it’s not gonna start working now.

It’s what they’ve been doing for years, except, nobody’s buying it anymore! Black comics could go onstage and make fun of every nationality case in point, Johnny Somali, the TH-camr who’d go to Japan and literally disrespect an entire country and its culture! Imagine a Japanese person going to Brownsville to mock the people? He’d be dead and the media would justify it! As a minority myself, I’ve dealt with racist black friends of mine whose ignorance is only fueled by tv shows, movies, music and mainstream media!
Why is the nerd community being dragged into Robin Hood fables? They been arguing comics for so long that everyone is a nerd now for everything they flip flop drop?
Honestly the woke ideology that is being implemented into destiny has almost ruined a lot of the experience for me, like any take away from making the game actually good is a big a waste of time, there is nothing wrong with representation but if it gets in the way of development time and making the game better then it is not necessary. It all doesn’t matter as much as Bungie believes it does.
The whole phenomenon of blaming the paying audience is mind boggling. Many years ago I worked at a place named Nordstrom. This is a company that preached good customer service to all its employees. I sold ladies shoes and my paycheck amount was based on the dollar amount of the shoes I sold. 10% commission. I can't imagine EVER telling a customer that the reason a pair of shoes didn't work out....was that their feet were terrible.....or that the buyer didn't know or understand how to use their new shoes. This era of blame is sickening to a Gen X guy like myself. Hey HOLLYWOOD.....ever hear of the phrase "the customer is always right"? How do the share holders of a company as big as Disney hokd themselves back from storming Disney executive offices after Disney stock went from 275/share less than two years ago to hovering around 71/share? How does the 250M budget for a movie at Disney get approved in the first place....where Disney producers know that the content of said film is not going to attract an audience big enough to even make their investment back? Last time I checked Disney is in the business of making a profit and that ain't happening.....
Main problem is they don't have anything to fall back on to make their own stories, race swapping is going to confuse all the children on famous literary works!! Why can't they just make something up, in other words for imagination and that someone else's works!! Is that hard?!
Well, I wanted to say a few things that are important to this narrative: 1. The problem with black creators is that the people running the media companies right now are not so much operating as a conspiracy, but are united in a more general sense by a sort of shared ideology where truth is less important than a given philosophy and it's best for everyone if people believe only in truths that reinforce that philosophy. A sort of "we can create utopia if we can make it so only people who think this way and put these thought processes first exist". To do this requires destroying the current power system which if looked at purely in term of ethnic identity is mostly white people, regardless of what they believe. To succeed they need to turn all sides against the center, and eroding the various white identities is an easy way to get everyone else to attack those people and power bases, as it renders nuance impossible. I won't break this down further. At any rate there are plenty of black creators who do other kinds of stuff, but only those who do this kind of thing, and can be used as ethnic icons and rallying points, tend to be given much of a major platform. The thing is, most of the people who are black who do other kinds of creative stuff aren't generally known to be black, and their work just tends to stand on it's own. A recent example would be how so many people attacked Mike Pondsmith without realizing he was black when "Cyberpunk 2077" was the current target of the left. "Cyberpunk" representing a sort of overall problem to the left because while on the surface it has a lot of messages about individuality and so on, it generally presents a "Dark Future" largely coming from what was out of control leftist ideology, and the way people express individuality in that environment, say raging against information control by media corporations (a big left wing tool) is anti-thetical to the left. If you look there are quite a few black creators who make very good stuff, that has nothing to do with these messages, but unless they sell out and allow that stuff to be inserted those guys are very rarely given the platform for something like "Robyn Hood". Despite having a fan base and a more established history notice when Mike Pondsmith stepped out of his lane to to speak he got attacked, and it only slowed a bit when his identity was revealed, this was because he got a major video game like 2077. In comparison the joker doing Robyn Hood can keep failing and being given chances because he is doing the kind of thing they want. 2. When it comes to the myth of Robin Hood to begin with, you can do a lot with it. That said it doesn't work for stuff like this. See Robin Hood was not just some thief stealing from certain people he happened to disagree with. The story was a product of a time when relations between France and England were not exactly great, and the Norman French had managed to replace a lot of the nobility of England and were oppressing the people due to long standing political tensions, as well as doing things like raising taxes and then basically kicking the money over to a foreign crown as opposed to using that money what it as for in England to begin with. Also remember this was born of a time when the term "Noble" had a positive association as a set of traits, as nobles were not seen as bad if they did their jobs properly, unlike today where people have scorn for the entire idea. The mythology of being saved by a "White Knight" or something was actually taken seriously for a very long time, as these systems were not always viewed as inherently corrupt and wrong. Of course also remember given why the US rebelled, we have a sort of cultural bias against some of the foundations on which this kind of story relies. At any rate what Robin Hood was doing was protecting his people, people he had a right to rule, and was supposed to have been legitimately loved by, from a usurper. This entire "rob from the rich to give to the poor" thing was not some kind of early leftist commentary, it was because the Normans were stealing money from the people they were not entitled to, and he was returning unfairly taken taxes to the people who were becoming impoverished as a result. The Loxleys very much would have collected taxes themselves of course, but the point was they weren't as bad as Prince John especially given that he was sending that money to France after pocketing a bunch of it himself. The entire story is pretty much that Robin was away (much like the king) allowing the takeover due tot he alliances that existed due the general unity created by the politics causing Europe to try and unite for things like The Crusades. When he returned and found his title usurped, he fought back, and did his job to protect his people, rallying a militia of sorts, and fighting the usurper until the real king returned, ending a lot of the problem since it was political as much as anything. Robin Hood was portrayed as an expert archer because as we know from some of the climactic battles between France and England, the English Longbow allowed a comparative handful of archers to literally decimate the flower of French knighthood in battles like Agincourt where by all rights they should have lost badly. The French were riding in to more or less seize victory easily, and then wound up being cut down by archers they couldn't strike back against. Robin Hood was intended to be symbolic of that, even if the actual battles were not achieved by these sorts of methods. This is why this version of Robyn Hood cannot work (for those who read this far) as your uh, "criminal hip hop band" are not the rightful rulers of the land they are in, and strictly speaking if they were going to be doing what Robin Hood was, they should be fighting the IRS anyway. See a clever, modern, spin on the idea might actually be to have someone like a computer hacker in a green suit, stealing money from PACS on both sides of the fence, corporations, and the IRS, and re-distributing the money taken through scams and unreasonable taxes back to the people. If I was going to be clever with the analogy I might make them say a native american-british ethnic mix (either gender could work) who is sort of doing it on general principles, perhaps with a personal backstory where his idealistic company had been framed and seized unfairly before this all started by an alliance between business rivals, politicians, and a weaponized IRS. I would make "The Merry Men" an array of shell corporations, and to make things interesting of course since people would be hunting him, he'd have a band of mercenaries that protect him. I'd likely claim he has a special AI assist hacking program called "Longbow" or something to cement it. Something like this could vaguely work.
I'm so glad I came to your TED talk.❤ You're right and I adore your ideas. I'd watch the hot heck out of that! Clever but not preachy. Fun but still faithful in respective ways to the source. 👍

When I first saw a commercial for Robyn Hood, I did not know they were all race swapped. They did not show them without their masks on. But my immediate reaction was still "eww" because I did NOT like the design. Then when I found out the race thing after already having decided to never watch the show, I just sighed, shrugged, and went back to my life.
>Cleopatra was chosen by Alexander Cleopatra was the last queen of Ptolemaic dynasty. She was never chosen by Alexander neither met him. Because Ptolemaic dynasty was established in 301 BC.

Been hearing about this. Does this guy know he made something bad but refuses to admit it, or is he actually this delusional? I honesty can't tell and that's sad.
Just a small caveat. Cleopatra was absolutely not chosen vy Alexander. She lived a few hundred years later. Her ancestor Ptolemy was one of Alex's general who took Egypt for his own after Alex died.
0:17 In Assassin's Creed First you have allmost the same cutscene. When you are next to the lion king at the end, but instead of assassins it's templars (or crusaders) who are in circles.
"Imagine if the roles were reversed!" While this proves a point the problem is that it isn't an effective argument. It's better now than ever to just own being a racist than try to reason with these sub-humans and the money behind them. Stop playing the defensive, it's a losing strategy.
But it's hilarious why they hate when a black character gets race swapped but say "it's only a fictional character" when a white character gets race swapped. That's the hypocrisy. If you play the "it's only fictional" card, at least go both ways and not give preferential treatment to a certain skin colour. These hacks can't even do that.

I remember when black movies were just about black people. You see how they live their lives and the audience takes away whatever they take away from it. Friday. Boyz N Da Hood. Menace II Society. Those were REAL movies about real life and real issues. These woke films are basically Jussie Smollet boiled down into moving picture format -that is to say, lies trying to push a false narrative. We live in a world where some blacks are doctors, engineers, scientists, movie stars, and hell even ice hockey players. I don't count the former President because that mofo set race relations back so many years and most likely was a Communist plant. Racism (though probably still existent in remote areas where no one would willingly step foot in and perhaps in the back of a very very small group of people's minds namely on the Democrat/leftist side) is for the most part dead. They need to move on. Take responsibility for themselves and make the most of what life has to offer them. Playing victim will get them nowhere and listening to leftists will get them somewhere far worse. As Malcolm X said, "The White liberal is the worst enemy to America and the worst enemy to the Black man." Equating them (leftists) to basically wolves in sheep clothing.
Since these people started caring about representation I haven't gotten any "diverse" characters that I could like. Everything is racism, EVERYTHING. Alien vs Predator had a black female lead back in the less insane days, and her storyline had nothing to do with racism. There were other black actors, and they had nothing to do with racism. She was a person with goals who got put into a crazy situation and did she could to survive. I want more of that. Today, they would've stuck a line in that film that made you know they don't respect her because she's a *black woman* black women are always fighting the man, the *white man* People are so insane now. I still remember that "X-women" line from those remakes. It was so cringe and and off putting especially from a character who is a murderer to another who got crippled to save millions of lives. Because women are always the victim. Black people are always the victim. Even when they are undeniable villains. 🤦🏿♀️
@@sianaisThey’ve been making black people the victim for a long time because it’s profitable and pushed the agenda of keeping black people emasculated and cowardly. White people don’t really wanna see black people being strong, makes them squirm. In fact they’d call it woke today.
Those movies didn’t solve any real issues, just made foreigners think that’s all we were. Made our image bad worldwide for everyone else’s entertainment, then people tried to mimic the films and became the stereotype. Also remember, when slavey happened, we were not allowed to speak in our native tongue or it’d be cut out. Couldn’t pass down any cultural and folklore. So Black people were forced to assimilate with White people taking their culture, religion, and historical figures into their own culture, we don’t even know what country we came from so pretending we’re any sort of African would be cultural appropriation as well. And people are most definitely racist, we gon forget those 10 black people gunned down in the buffalo supermarket? Or those 3 that just got murdered in the dollar tree In florida? Are we gunna forget the 6 cops that sexually tortured and attempted to murder those 2 black men in Mississippi? Racism never ended, it never got better, it just became more subtle. Only thing integration did was weaken our economy, morals, unity, and patriotism.
@@sianaisI know it has a remake in the works, but Final Fantasy VII (1997) the video game literally has a character named Barrett Wallace. He’s an amputee missing an arm who survived a fire, he actually saved his presumably dead best friend’s child from the fire in his hometown caused by an evil corporation. He is a single father, who has a gun for an arm to fight and even helps up with a rebel alliance named Avalanche to dismantle the evil corporation that has a neo city called Midgar that they basically police over and control. His daughter isn’t his own, but he does everything he can and keeps going for her because he loves her. He sticks his neck out for others and is putting himself in danger to save others. They even show this in the remake so far, it is never really mentioned that he is black or made a big deal. He does have a certain dialect, but he’s from a small mining town in the middle of nowhere so it makes sense. He doesn’t act like a victim, he straps a gun to his fucking arm and just does things. We need more characters like Barrett 🤣
@@YourKingJDG nope. Your thinking is part of the problem. Stereotypes develop for a reason. Do all of them accurately paint everyone perfectly? No. But generally they are correct. Blacks are their own worst enemies. It was blacks that sold out their own and help enslave and ship slaves all across Europe, and to the new land. Slaves existed way before American history. In fact, they still exist in some Middle Eastern countries and other areas. Or look at China's treatment of Uyghur Muslims. It's modern day slavery. The US has done a lot to end actual slavery, the only reason why it is so prevalent and in the forefront of people's minds is because of race baiters MOSTLY all on the left Democrat side. There is a lot of censorship in the mainstream media, that I can't even post the response I want. So all I will say is, the movies did show the real issues plaquing blacks. They showed what blacks (and others) have to deal with when they live in the hood, that they need to change their perspective, and that whether they choose to be victims or not, it's up to them and them alone to change their fate. I will grant you this... there is a certain group of individuals that Corporate America has been successful at latching onto and, yes, it would be the modern equivalent of slavery. However, it's not exactly what you think. What group has successfully gotten blacks to wear dresses and act a fool on screen? What group has gotten them to waste loads of money on basketball shoes? What group has given them a free pass to do whatever they want even though their actions endanger themselves, others, and leads to failure? What group thinks so lowly of them, to believe that they are so inferior that they cannot obtain driver licenses or pass academic tests without assistance?

I mean I still love the animation version where robin was a fox, and the theme of robin hood has been used in other stories, so I watched a bit of it and then it crashed. that scene where police used a drone and those kids shot it down with that ridiculous "crossbow". I mean with fantasy and movies, there is always a need for a bit of suspension of disbelief , but for this I needed to ram a baseball through my brain for it to be digestible. I mean you claim your character to be oppressed, but the cops didn't even try to enter the building, and they shot down the drone that was apparently very "high tech" and expensive. if I wanted to watch a comedy of robin hood, "Men in Tights" would be a much better choice.
Respectfully, please don't use the term "haters" for someone who simply dislikes a bad show. A hater is someone who dislikes something for dislike's sake. Don't use the left's language, we're not haters, we're customers voicing an opinion, a lesson Hollywood needs to relearn or go the way of the dinosaurs.
You’re not customers because you never intended to buy. Hated on the show the second you saw the cast. Because if anything doesn’t have a 9:1 white ratio it’s woke.
@@-pressxtostart- I’ve just seen it in the general comments, it’s essentially the community consensus. And people who review bomb clearly didn’t watch the film.
Between Alexander and Cleopatra is about 250 years.he actually gave Egipt to her ancestor Ptolemy I (his general). But Cleopatra was still Macedonian,becouse incest.
I think they could have made a modern day version of Robin Hood, the problem is that by race swapping the characters they already sending warning signals to the audience. But the real problem is that the series is just bad.
Apparently, there is no african folklore or creativity. So, there is a driving need to co-op European and American stories, folklore, and morality stories.
Black Americans were forced to assimilate with White people and their culture, losing native tongue, culture, mythology, etc. We don’t know exactly where we came from so it’d be cultural appropriation as well. Africa needs to create those stories.
Alexander and Cleopatra were a couple hundred years apart. He died before he could pick his successor resulting in his empire fragmenting where Egypt would be ruled by the Ptolemy dynasty which Cleopatra is a descendent of.
Thank you. I'm English. White. Fairly old. It's our culture being appropriated by this director. It's annoying but we aren't allowed to object to this theft and anti white prejudice.
I do have to correct you a bit with the Alexander and Cleopatra issue. Alexander had died long before Cleopatra was born. Alexander's empire had collapsed and the Ptolemy's were the ones who controlled Egypt after the empire divided. Cesar was the one who supported Cleopatra's claim to the throne and later Mark Anthony, who committed suicide with her when Egypt fell to Octavian. I guess Netflex tried to say it was Alexander, but I didn't even watch it.
@EndymionTV 8:08 Cleopatra was chosen by Alexander? They are separated by 300 years. Alexander left Egypt to his general Ptolemy, thus creating the Ptolemic line that eventually produced Cleopatra VII. She was Macedonian but not a contemporary of Alexander, so who told you this?
Oh the hypocrisy. The director calls us racist, even though he was the one who made a diverse cast where all the heroes are of different ethnicities and the villains are Caucasian.
Watching the trailer made me Appreciate the robin movie we got back in 2018, i can say the same about the Peter Pan remake that came out in 2015 as well
First Netflix's Actor for One Piece's Zoro is called sexist by She-Hulk's actress because he gets paid more than her, despite one being from Netflix and the other Disney. Now there's this. There's a limit how desperate people can cry out for attention when they fail hard.
I always agree with you, just one minor quibble about your opening thesis… it’s bad not just because it’s race swapped; it’s bad because it’s race swapped except the villains are still white. They are type cast.
Thank you for watching, Robyn Hood is yet another culturally appropriated piece of media that erases its legacy in order to be used to push politics onto an established fan base.
Also an all black cast who’s in a hip hop band called “The Hood”? Really guys? REALLY?

What’s also hilarious is that Robin Hood “stealing from the rich” is by itself a gross modern oversimplification of the character, for he was not stealing from rich people in general so much as he was in actuality taking back peoples money and property that was stolen by a corrupt state. That oversimplification now combined with a Black criminal committing actual theft just makes this all the more darkly funny to me due to how little foresight and self awareness these dolts in charge have.
Reminds me of how in Percy Jackson coming up they'll have Zeus played by a black man. Please, tell me, what is one the most well known things Zeus is known for, and whats a very negative stereotype for black men?
@@joewright3190 Being a deadbeat pimp daddy? Way to beat the stereotype there, Hollywood.

@@alexkogan9755that and a whole bunch r*pe and abandoned children
Absolutely. Let's get some real history here
Race swapping pre-existing characters or historical figures only works in comedy. I would absolutely piss myself if Richard the Lionheart was played by Samuel L. Jackson, yelling "Yeah longbow men, shoot those motherfuckers in the ass"
I’m a lead farmer mudafucka
In my opinion the concept of swapping in a vacuum is not the worst thing in the world. The problem is dam near every single time it's done it's specifically to make a play on some kind of woke agenda. Using that Samuel example they swapped him in for a traditionally white character but he isn't going on all day saying I'm oh so black all day. He just does his role
Only that sounds amazing
I would watch this
*[Insert long string of laughing emojis here]*
They also replaced Anne Boleyn with a black actress. A real historical white person. And we are the racists when we talk about it.
Would love to see the outrage if Nelson Mandela was played by a white actor. They would go off the chains. But how is this any different than what they did with Anne Boleyn?
We are living in a clown world
I got into an 'argument' about this. I said that Clearly the facts and context of a character/person don't matter if they're willing do what they did with Cleopatra and call it a documentary. They said that it wasn't a good example because it sucked and everyone hated it. Dude, the fact that they ignored the facts and context still proves my point.
I'm so sick of woke creators blaming the audience for their mistakes.
I enjoy it cause I can dunk on em
@@EndymionTv And I enjoy your dunkings on them.
Creators? This guy isn't a creator, he created nothing, he took an existing story and did his blackness thing to it. There's nothing, NOTHING, original about anything in this show, not even the reaction to the audience calling it for what it is. I mean seriously you people expect any other reaction than pulling the race card from a guy like that?
Their lack of self awareness is gut busting tbh. I love it bc their ideology is unsustainable and ultimately racist itself. It’ll collapse eventually or we will allow society to collapse first. One of the two. People need to stop being pussies and stand against this nonsense publicly cuz after all, if you fire the reasonable 60%+ of the population; who the fuck is gonna do the jobs? We know these woke morons wont, they’re too busy complaining on X 😂
I see you use the term "creators" very loosely.😅
The woke doesn't create, they appropriate then destroy.😑
It's honestly to be expected at this point. The pattern nowadays goes something like this: Something woke gets made, turns out to be abhorrently bad, Call audience racist instead of taking accountability for their terrible production. Then the cycle repeats
Because they cant tell good stories ot even write something that will get yhe audience attention so they resort to pandering.
A wise man once said: “Everything woke turns to shit.”
He’s right
I stand before ruins of a once grand kingdom. One of joy, riches and imagination. Now the structures are crumbling with rot, the gold has turned to useless rust, any life act like zombies, truly misfortune has all but destroyed greatness
Woke things are not turning into shit. They are shit in the first place
Define woke.
@@TheNightVixenanything included in media devoted solely to pushing the progressive agenda. Whether that be race-swapping characters without changing the source material sufficiently to justify the change, defiling male characters with no consideration given to their previously established character arcs, or the inclusion of poorly written minority characters that are supposed to be liked solely due to the color of their skin, with no redeeming writing qualities . There are more examples of what can be considered “woke,” but those are some of the recurring effects woke ideology has on media
Cleopatra's downfall was about a power struggle between two factions in the Roman Republic not too long after the death of Julius Caesar, not about native Egyptians rejecting the rule of a non-Egyptian queen. Mark Antony had joined an alliance with Cleopatra (a Roman/Ptolemy-Hellenist/Egyptian conglomerate) against Octavian (later "Caesar Augustus") and his Western Roman faction. Antony and Cleopatra were soundly defeated militarily by Octavian's forces, and they both committed suicide rather than be captured to be paraded as war prizes. It had nothing to do with a rebellion by the Egyptians against them.
Thank you
You think they'd be smart enough to read history? They trust some random black grandma over peer-reviewed research journals and books 😂
Also, Alexander didn't choose her, he didn't even know her. He chose her ancestor, Ptolomy, who was one of his Generals.
Did Netflix really churn this out?
@@tkraid2575 Netflix didn't say that Cleopatra's downfall was her being rejected and overthrown by her Egyptian subjects, Endymion did. Yes, Netflix put out a massively f***ed-up piece of Afrocentric propaganda with their Cleopatra "documentary," but Endymion totally f***ed-up what happened to her.
Whenever someone says someone else is racist these days I just roll my eyes and think, 'So someone disagreed with you or called you on your bulls&^t' eh?'
Dear Director X,
People got upset in the 90s that Robin Hood would be played by Kevin Costner, a white American non British actor. Please decide if cultural appropriation is okay and if it is then I look forward to the day you do MLKs bio-pic starring Matthew McCaughnoughy as MLK! You can cast Samuel Jackson as President Johnson. It’ll be great. True racism is believing that one race has the right to do something another race doesn’t. By appropriating culture in only one direction you prove that you, and your fellow Hollywood creatives have indeed been indoctrinated and brainwashed into your woke religion and have become the very thing you hated: r*cist. You are a true Wokie
if I get to play as Joe Biden, then you can sign me up.
"black people can't be racist" I'm a black guy and that line is easily top 3 biggest lies I've ever heard in my life.
@@christopherbravo1813 👍👍🤣
Clearly a man who thinks it's cool to be called Director X is too stupid to understand that.
Director X isn't even American so I'm sure he wouldn't care if MLK was played by a white. Not all black people are the same.
It's quite funny that the people that yell 'slavery' the loudest don't know anything about slavery
Very few Americans owned slaves. Those that did were very rich.
Why do you say that? Slavery is the reason why the “culture appropriation” is happening. Because White people forced Black people to assimilate into the culture and accept white holidays and notable figures. Only natural to use the stories they know.

Remember folks, these people can't actually come up with their own work that both catches the eye of the masses and tells a great story while spreading their own ideology. They need to leech off of pre-existing source material because they aren't good writers themselves. That's why stories have gone to shit recently.

I wish we had more black directors like Antoine Fuqua and the Hughes brothers. It took me about a decade before I realized they made King Arthur and From Hell. Not a single hint of black injustice preaching anywhere to be found. Not even a shred of diversity shoehorned into them. Just a desire to adapt stories as faithfully to the screen as possible.
Antoine Fuqua makes fantastic films.
It's not even the reminder of back injustice that's the problem. I could site several films that have that but never let it overshadow a more universal feeling deep down like Deep Cover or Across 110th Street or Sorry to Bother You or Dope or Devil in a Blue Dress or A Solider Story or Eve's Bayou or Friday, or Blindspotting, and I'm off-topic. Point is, focus on telling a good story at it's core first and foremost is all that's needed.
Agreed! Antoine makes some solid flicks.
Great point!

Honestly the woke ideology that is being implemented into destiny has almost ruined a lot of the experience for me, like any take away from making the game actually good is a big a waste of time, there is nothing wrong with representation but if it gets in the way of development time and making the game better then it is not necessary. It all doesn’t matter as much as Bungie believes it does.
The whole phenomenon of blaming the paying audience is mind boggling. Many years ago I worked at a place named Nordstrom. This is a company that preached good customer service to all its employees. I sold ladies shoes and my paycheck amount was based on the dollar amount of the shoes I sold. 10% commission. I can't imagine EVER telling a customer that the reason a pair of shoes didn't work out....was that their feet were terrible.....or that the buyer didn't know or understand how to use their new shoes. This era of blame is sickening to a Gen X guy like myself.
Hey HOLLYWOOD.....ever hear of the phrase "the customer is always right"?
How do the share holders of a company as big as Disney hokd themselves back from storming Disney executive offices after Disney stock went from 275/share less than two years ago to hovering around 71/share?

Last time I checked Disney is in the business of making a profit and that ain't happening.....
Main problem is they don't have anything to fall back on to make their own stories, race swapping is going to confuse all the children on famous literary works!! Why can't they just make something up, in other words for imagination and that someone else's works!! Is that hard?!

They have no imagination, only ideology
@@masterjoda999 agree 110%!!!
Make something up? They made Black Panther and yall screamed woke. Apparently it had to have white people to be okay.
Because, true to form, they are thieves.
Well, I wanted to say a few things that are important to this narrative:
1. The problem with black creators is that the people running the media companies right now are not so much operating as a conspiracy, but are united in a more general sense by a sort of shared ideology where truth is less important than a given philosophy and it's best for everyone if people believe only in truths that reinforce that philosophy. A sort of "we can create utopia if we can make it so only people who think this way and put these thought processes first exist". To do this requires destroying the current power system which if looked at purely in term of ethnic identity is mostly white people, regardless of what they believe. To succeed they need to turn all sides against the center, and eroding the various white identities is an easy way to get everyone else to attack those people and power bases, as it renders nuance impossible. I won't break this down further.
At any rate there are plenty of black creators who do other kinds of stuff, but only those who do this kind of thing, and can be used as ethnic icons and rallying points, tend to be given much of a major platform. The thing is, most of the people who are black who do other kinds of creative stuff aren't generally known to be black, and their work just tends to stand on it's own. A recent example would be how so many people attacked Mike Pondsmith without realizing he was black when "Cyberpunk 2077" was the current target of the left. "Cyberpunk" representing a sort of overall problem to the left because while on the surface it has a lot of messages about individuality and so on, it generally presents a "Dark Future" largely coming from what was out of control leftist ideology, and the way people express individuality in that environment, say raging against information control by media corporations (a big left wing tool) is anti-thetical to the left. If you look there are quite a few black creators who make very good stuff, that has nothing to do with these messages, but unless they sell out and allow that stuff to be inserted those guys are very rarely given the platform for something like "Robyn Hood". Despite having a fan base and a more established history notice when Mike Pondsmith stepped out of his lane to to speak he got attacked, and it only slowed a bit when his identity was revealed, this was because he got a major video game like 2077. In comparison the joker doing Robyn Hood can keep failing and being given chances because he is doing the kind of thing they want.
2. When it comes to the myth of Robin Hood to begin with, you can do a lot with it. That said it doesn't work for stuff like this.
See Robin Hood was not just some thief stealing from certain people he happened to disagree with. The story was a product of a time when relations between France and England were not exactly great, and the Norman French had managed to replace a lot of the nobility of England and were oppressing the people due to long standing political tensions, as well as doing things like raising taxes and then basically kicking the money over to a foreign crown as opposed to using that money what it as for in England to begin with.
Also remember this was born of a time when the term "Noble" had a positive association as a set of traits, as nobles were not seen as bad if they did their jobs properly, unlike today where people have scorn for the entire idea. The mythology of being saved by a "White Knight" or something was actually taken seriously for a very long time, as these systems were not always viewed as inherently corrupt and wrong. Of course also remember given why the US rebelled, we have a sort of cultural bias against some of the foundations on which this kind of story relies.
At any rate what Robin Hood was doing was protecting his people, people he had a right to rule, and was supposed to have been legitimately loved by, from a usurper. This entire "rob from the rich to give to the poor" thing was not some kind of early leftist commentary, it was because the Normans were stealing money from the people they were not entitled to, and he was returning unfairly taken taxes to the people who were becoming impoverished as a result. The Loxleys very much would have collected taxes themselves of course, but the point was they weren't as bad as Prince John especially given that he was sending that money to France after pocketing a bunch of it himself.
The entire story is pretty much that Robin was away (much like the king) allowing the takeover due tot he alliances that existed due the general unity created by the politics causing Europe to try and unite for things like The Crusades. When he returned and found his title usurped, he fought back, and did his job to protect his people, rallying a militia of sorts, and fighting the usurper until the real king returned, ending a lot of the problem since it was political as much as anything.
Robin Hood was portrayed as an expert archer because as we know from some of the climactic battles between France and England, the English Longbow allowed a comparative handful of archers to literally decimate the flower of French knighthood in battles like Agincourt where by all rights they should have lost badly. The French were riding in to more or less seize victory easily, and then wound up being cut down by archers they couldn't strike back against. Robin Hood was intended to be symbolic of that, even if the actual battles were not achieved by these sorts of methods.
This is why this version of Robyn Hood cannot work (for those who read this far) as your uh, "criminal hip hop band" are not the rightful rulers of the land they are in, and strictly speaking if they were going to be doing what Robin Hood was, they should be fighting the IRS anyway.
See a clever, modern, spin on the idea might actually be to have someone like a computer hacker in a green suit, stealing money from PACS on both sides of the fence, corporations, and the IRS, and re-distributing the money taken through scams and unreasonable taxes back to the people. If I was going to be clever with the analogy I might make them say a native american-british ethnic mix (either gender could work) who is sort of doing it on general principles, perhaps with a personal backstory where his idealistic company had been framed and seized unfairly before this all started by an alliance between business rivals, politicians, and a weaponized IRS. I would make "The Merry Men" an array of shell corporations, and to make things interesting of course since people would be hunting him, he'd have a band of mercenaries that protect him. I'd likely claim he has a special AI assist hacking program called "Longbow" or something to cement it. Something like this could vaguely work.
I'm so glad I came to your TED talk.❤ You're right and I adore your ideas. I'd watch the hot heck out of that! Clever but not preachy. Fun but still faithful in respective ways to the source. 👍
Keep telling the truth. Even if it hurts somebody's feelings. I'm tired of speaking out & only getting those who are fools who think they know everything in the world. Keep up the good work.

Be careful Endymion, if you don’t watch out the director will call you out as well lmao. Loser has already called out nerdrotic, Babyface, hypnotic, disparu, and yellowflash
Next thing you know he'll be calling out The Critical Drinker
I think he also went after the quartering and RK. The dude can't let it go that 1. His show is shit. 2. We're all laughing at him for his stupid name, "Director X" 😂😂
I’m sure that worked out well for him. 😂
I wonder if he'll call out Jlongbone, a black female TH-camr, when her review comes out 😂
@@cynicalperson161 That woman is absolutely HILARIOUS
I have recenty discovered your videos and to be honest i really appreciate what your saying, more creators need to stand up to this nonsense and speak the truth like you do, thankyou and i respect you for it, jist want you to know.
Been hearing about this. Does this guy know he made something bad but refuses to admit it, or is he actually this delusional? I honesty can't tell and that's sad.
The safe bet is to assume he's legitimately that delusional.
Just a small caveat. Cleopatra was absolutely not chosen vy Alexander. She lived a few hundred years later. Her ancestor Ptolemy was one of Alex's general who took Egypt for his own after Alex died.
Ahhh the whiiiitte man strikes again, that's racism; does that have meaning anymore
Except it’s the other way around
@@EndymionTv😂😂😂 How?? How is it the other way around? Black people in entertainment is racist towards white people? 😂😂
0:17 In Assassin's Creed First you have allmost the same cutscene.
When you are next to the lion king at the end, but instead of assassins it's templars (or crusaders) who are in circles.
Is bad of me to think that the main villan looks like a great robinhood?
Ngl he kinda does though
@@olafthebear2327 he definitely looks the part, and the lady beside him makes a perfect princess as well.
"Imagine if the roles were reversed!"
While this proves a point the problem is that it isn't an effective argument. It's better now than ever to just own being a racist than try to reason with these sub-humans and the money behind them. Stop playing the defensive, it's a losing strategy.
"Well it's different." They say. No the fuck its not.If it's a problem one way, it's a problem both ways. To say otherwise is hypocritical
But it's hilarious why they hate when a black character gets race swapped but say "it's only a fictional character" when a white character gets race swapped. That's the hypocrisy. If you play the "it's only fictional" card, at least go both ways and not give preferential treatment to a certain skin colour. These hacks can't even do that.
Unfortunately, as with any case like it, the Bungie HR manager debacle will settle out of court, and be brushed under the rug as quietly as possible. It's just what they do.
Apparantly all companies do NOT care about their bottom line. Disney stock has tumbled in the past two years. How the shareholders aren't storming Disney offices and demanding change is beyond me.
Blackrock....😊
@@unknownGoblin Yeah I didn't know who Blackrock until I watched several videos on the Moon YT channel. Apparently Blackrock started the whole ESG thing too. Still....Disney is a publicly traded company and the shareholders don't care their investment in shares is tanking.
@rickbase833 what if I told you that they have a woke score where blackrock makes up for the lost profit if they keep producing woke shit. It's like that in many companies and will continue as long as businesses keep accepting Blackrock's blood money
Anyone who names themselves like that and not using a normal name should already tell you everything about them. Like, who in their right mind would name himself 'X'?!
Malcolm X?
Isn't it "Director x"? Yellowflash made a good point, he was like, "what happens if he wants to start writing or producing? Is he going to change his name to writer X?" LOL it's such a cringe name.
“Losers make excuses while winners make it happen”
This perfectly describes all of the woke directors who blame everyone else but themselves. Talk about no accountability.
Sad that these companies are still pushing these ideas instead of making good stories.
Or getting it completly backwards like the new barbie movie showing what that group wants the world to look like. With men being nothing, owning nothing.
@@albar.1807Who Knows
Go to push the narrative. Got to further division among the populace
Jewish companies. ;)
@@That-guy916 We were never united to begin with. They’re just doing this to bring the racism out of the political right, so that black people vote for joe biven again
I saw some funny reviews about it. That in Robin hood, they are actually breaking the law, the police arrest them and they get mad that they are getting arrested. While trying to paint the police as the villans
I remember when black movies were just about black people. You see how they live their lives and the audience takes away whatever they take away from it. Friday. Boyz N Da Hood. Menace II Society. Those were REAL movies about real life and real issues. These woke films are basically Jussie Smollet boiled down into moving picture format -that is to say, lies trying to push a false narrative. We live in a world where some blacks are doctors, engineers, scientists, movie stars, and hell even ice hockey players. I don't count the former President because that mofo set race relations back so many years and most likely was a Communist plant. Racism (though probably still existent in remote areas where no one would willingly step foot in and perhaps in the back of a very very small group of people's minds namely on the Democrat/leftist side) is for the most part dead. They need to move on. Take responsibility for themselves and make the most of what life has to offer them. Playing victim will get them nowhere and listening to leftists will get them somewhere far worse. As Malcolm X said, "The White liberal is the worst enemy to America and the worst enemy to the Black man." Equating them (leftists) to basically wolves in sheep clothing.
Since these people started caring about representation I haven't gotten any "diverse" characters that I could like. Everything is racism, EVERYTHING. Alien vs Predator had a black female lead back in the less insane days, and her storyline had nothing to do with racism. There were other black actors, and they had nothing to do with racism. She was a person with goals who got put into a crazy situation and did she could to survive. I want more of that. Today, they would've stuck a line in that film that made you know they don't respect her because she's a *black woman* black women are always fighting the man, the *white man*
People are so insane now. I still remember that "X-women" line from those remakes. It was so cringe and and off putting especially from a character who is a murderer to another who got crippled to save millions of lives. Because women are always the victim. Black people are always the victim. Even when they are undeniable villains. 🤦🏿♀️
@@sianaisThey’ve been making black people the victim for a long time because it’s profitable and pushed the agenda of keeping black people emasculated and cowardly.
White people don’t really wanna see black people being strong, makes them squirm. In fact they’d call it woke today.
Those movies didn’t solve any real issues, just made foreigners think that’s all we were. Made our image bad worldwide for everyone else’s entertainment, then people tried to mimic the films and became the stereotype.
Also remember, when slavey happened, we were not allowed to speak in our native tongue or it’d be cut out. Couldn’t pass down any cultural and folklore.
So Black people were forced to assimilate with White people taking their culture, religion, and historical figures into their own culture, we don’t even know what country we came from so pretending we’re any sort of African would be cultural appropriation as well.
And people are most definitely racist, we gon forget those 10 black people gunned down in the buffalo supermarket? Or those 3 that just got murdered in the dollar tree In florida? Are we gunna forget the 6 cops that sexually tortured and attempted to murder those 2 black men in Mississippi?
Racism never ended, it never got better, it just became more subtle. Only thing integration did was weaken our economy, morals, unity, and patriotism.
@@sianaisI know it has a remake in the works, but Final Fantasy VII (1997) the video game literally has a character named Barrett Wallace. He’s an amputee missing an arm who survived a fire, he actually saved his presumably dead best friend’s child from the fire in his hometown caused by an evil corporation. He is a single father, who has a gun for an arm to fight and even helps up with a rebel alliance named Avalanche to dismantle the evil corporation that has a neo city called Midgar that they basically police over and control. His daughter isn’t his own, but he does everything he can and keeps going for her because he loves her. He sticks his neck out for others and is putting himself in danger to save others. They even show this in the remake so far, it is never really mentioned that he is black or made a big deal. He does have a certain dialect, but he’s from a small mining town in the middle of nowhere so it makes sense. He doesn’t act like a victim, he straps a gun to his fucking arm and just does things. We need more characters like Barrett 🤣
@@YourKingJDG nope. Your thinking is part of the problem. Stereotypes develop for a reason. Do all of them accurately paint everyone perfectly? No. But generally they are correct. Blacks are their own worst enemies. It was blacks that sold out their own and help enslave and ship slaves all across Europe, and to the new land. Slaves existed way before American history. In fact, they still exist in some Middle Eastern countries and other areas. Or look at China's treatment of Uyghur Muslims. It's modern day slavery. The US has done a lot to end actual slavery, the only reason why it is so prevalent and in the forefront of people's minds is because of race baiters MOSTLY all on the left Democrat side.
There is a lot of censorship in the mainstream media, that I can't even post the response I want. So all I will say is, the movies did show the real issues plaquing blacks. They showed what blacks (and others) have to deal with when they live in the hood, that they need to change their perspective, and that whether they choose to be victims or not, it's up to them and them alone to change their fate.
I will grant you this... there is a certain group of individuals that Corporate America has been successful at latching onto and, yes, it would be the modern equivalent of slavery. However, it's not exactly what you think. What group has successfully gotten blacks to wear dresses and act a fool on screen? What group has gotten them to waste loads of money on basketball shoes? What group has given them a free pass to do whatever they want even though their actions endanger themselves, others, and leads to failure? What group thinks so lowly of them, to believe that they are so inferior that they cannot obtain driver licenses or pass academic tests without assistance?
I am English and as a kid I looked up to rodinhood this I now happing in the UK know and soon our Irish brothers.
I know the french would not stand for thiss
Robin in da hood? Sounds more befitting. As a fan of the original legend I'm beyond tired of this woke crap and yes I'm BLACK! ENDYMIONtv, keep up the good work. I'd love to see you team up with the Drinker or Nerderotic some day.
I'm starting to look forward to your videos daily.

I feel bad for those who decided to fund this hot mess of a show and let a talentless nobody to run it.

It's literally made using Canadian Tax money.
I don't mean to nitpick but the person that Alexander the great placed in power in Egypt was one of his most trusted ge😅nerals, ptolemy. Who went on to found the ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt that cleopatra was a part of.

Do the creators of this show know about the Robyn Hood comics from Zenescope. It's been going on since 2012.
I know Robin Hood is in the public domain, but the name Robyn Hood is Copyrighted and Trademarked by Zenescope according the little text in every issue of their comic series.
So, any legal battles to be expected?
They are trying to use Robinhood as a superhero and I am all for that. But this was not the time for it. Not after all the BLM burnings of this decade. This isn't ending well for X's career. When esg fails, he is not going to have a lot of credibility on hand.
BLM is unrelated, points like this make it plausible for people to bring up slavery.
@@YourKingJDG Really? How so? I mean, I'm not saying it's BLM themed. I'm saying there making criminals who happen to be a certain skin color the heroes after BLM burned a few cities in the past few years. Not even waiting for the right moment either.
@@YourKingJDG It is related. Nopt only blacks were slaves. And slavery exist up to this day. Mostly in Africa. xD
@@hadeseye2297 There being other slave groups and slavery still being practiced by arabs doesn’t negate any of what happened here.
Did the Belgians committing Genocide against 15 million Congolese people negate Hitlers genocide amongst the Jews?
@@hadeseye2297 *which is also where it originated from. There were also never as many slaves in the US as there were in Africa, even at the time.
I can't believe the writers of this film resisted the urge to call it "Robyn in the Hood".
I'm not surprised the man insists on being called Director X. In the olden days, he would appear on the film as Alan Smithee.
I didn't have a problem with the race swap at first. I mean I still love the animation version where robin was a fox, and the theme of robin hood has been used in other stories, so I watched a bit of it and then it crashed. that scene where police used a drone and those kids shot it down with that ridiculous "crossbow". I mean with fantasy and movies, there is always a need for a bit of suspension of disbelief , but for this I needed to ram a baseball through my brain for it to be digestible.
I mean you claim your character to be oppressed, but the cops didn't even try to enter the building, and they shot down the drone that was apparently very "high tech" and expensive.
if I wanted to watch a comedy of robin hood, "Men in Tights" would be a much better choice.
They already be robbing stores fore blue jeans and sneakers 😂😂😂😂😂 how stupid!!!!
Respectfully, please don't use the term "haters" for someone who simply dislikes a bad show. A hater is someone who dislikes something for dislike's sake. Don't use the left's language, we're not haters, we're customers voicing an opinion, a lesson Hollywood needs to relearn or go the way of the dinosaurs.
You’re not customers because you never intended to buy. Hated on the show the second you saw the cast. Because if anything doesn’t have a 9:1 white ratio it’s woke.
@@YourKingJDGwell that is just pure conjecture, how on earth could you possibly know that?
@@-pressxtostart- I’ve just seen it in the general comments, it’s essentially the community consensus. And people who review bomb clearly didn’t watch the film.
Excellent analysis, Endymion!
Make Black Panther a ginger!
Between Alexander and Cleopatra is about 250 years.he actually gave Egipt to her ancestor Ptolemy I (his general). But Cleopatra was still Macedonian,becouse incest.
I think they could have made a modern day version of Robin Hood, the problem is that by race swapping the characters they already sending warning signals to the audience. But the real problem is that the series is just bad.
15:15 Thanks for telling us how it is. There is so much BS in the world and so few actually speak the truth out of fear. Thank you.
Apparently, there is no african folklore or creativity. So, there is a driving need to co-op European and American stories, folklore, and morality stories.
Black Americans were forced to assimilate with White people and their culture, losing native tongue, culture, mythology, etc.
We don’t know exactly where we came from so it’d be cultural appropriation as well. Africa needs to create those stories.
Alexander and Cleopatra were a couple hundred years apart. He died before he could pick his successor resulting in his empire fragmenting where Egypt would be ruled by the Ptolemy dynasty which Cleopatra is a descendent of.
It always surprises me that they always find a way to push their agenda even more desparate.
Thanx Endymion!!!😊
Nigerian here. If somehow what you said happened, it would probably be similar to the Egypt suing netflix for cleopatra situation.
The tried and tested method of producing absolute garbage and blaming someone else for the smell.
So I'm a racist? I can live with it.
Thank you. I'm English. White. Fairly old. It's our culture being appropriated by this director. It's annoying but we aren't allowed to object to this theft and anti white prejudice.
You know....being called a RACIST is just a word. Call me a racist all day if you want. I DON'T GIVE A SH*T!!
I do have to correct you a bit with the Alexander and Cleopatra issue. Alexander had died long before Cleopatra was born. Alexander's empire had collapsed and the Ptolemy's were the ones who controlled Egypt after the empire divided. Cesar was the one who supported Cleopatra's claim to the throne and later Mark Anthony, who committed suicide with her when Egypt fell to Octavian.
I guess Netflex tried to say it was Alexander, but I didn't even watch it.
Thats the best way to sum up this show, "painfully woke" Endymion said it best.
If people get pissed off when you point out the obvious, it only confirms that you are right. Have tried this too many times.
@EndymionTV 8:08 Cleopatra was chosen by Alexander? They are separated by 300 years. Alexander left Egypt to his general Ptolemy, thus creating the Ptolemic line that eventually produced Cleopatra VII. She was Macedonian but not a contemporary of Alexander, so who told you this?
Oh the hypocrisy. The director calls us racist, even though he was the one who made a diverse cast where all the heroes are of different ethnicities and the villains are Caucasian.
Yo Endymion, Well said, thanks for the Post, ~Mark~
Glad someone's up to date with the garbage, didn't know this even existed
I mean look at the directors picture, does he look like he respects source material? 😂
Its a blaxploitation parody
Watching the trailer made me Appreciate the robin movie we got back in 2018, i can say the same about the Peter Pan remake that came out in 2015 as well
First Netflix's Actor for One Piece's Zoro is called sexist by She-Hulk's actress because he gets paid more than her, despite one being from Netflix and the other Disney. Now there's this. There's a limit how desperate people can cry out for attention when they fail hard.
I always agree with you, just one minor quibble about your opening thesis… it’s bad not just because it’s race swapped; it’s bad because it’s race swapped except the villains are still white. They are type cast.
