There's an irony in ending your season of rebellion against the elite with the whitest man alive murdering a black woman, and that being portrayed as a good thing.
The point of the show went over your head that badly. She's not some poc b***h, she's was a high religious figure of Egypt that sacrificed slaves and her vampire self gave no fricks hanging out with other slavers including white ones. The show was anti all-slavery and the people who supported that mindset so she had to die.
>but a black person in any place in time brain
why not pick a subsaharan or carribean god if she's going to be one of those
at best she's nubian given the time frame of her claims
It might be less a case of we wuzzing and more a case of making the character black first and then attaching Egyptian mythology to her backstory because that was as ancient and obscure as they could go while reasonably expecting the audience to know what they're talking about. People know Egypt and have a vague familiarity with its main symbols, but Nubia and most pre-modern Sub-Saharan African cultures might as well be fantasy gibberish to the average person, including black people.
she wasn't born there, she was born in subsaharan africa
not possible with her ethnicity
Yall are aware that blackness is a skin tone and not just a race right? And even then Egyptians before Kush and Ptolemaic era were pretty fricking dark people
The raceswapping and tokenism bullshit honestly muddles the frick out of the messaging and shits on the consistency of the setting. It also showcases a total lack of understanding of our own world's history and several of the major events and philosophical/political concepts the show centers itself around.
I'm only just over halfway through, mind you, but I think this show is a fricking mess.
No matter how you excuse it, it's still a show about fighting against oppression that ends with a white man killing a white woman. The portrayal is inherently flawed.
I appreciate that they had the balls to make an unredeemable black villain in modern age, but when you put it against the overall message of the show and the current state of the world (which absolutely influenced the writers, don't doubt that for a second), it's a very funny mistake.
Also, just in general it's very dumb to end a season with a character from another series saving the day after the main characters failed miserably at everything. It's like fanfiction.
>it's still a show about fighting against oppression that ends with a white man killing a white woman
That's reflective of how things really are, though
The average person doesn't think much about the media they consume. 90% of the time, they use it as background noise or just another mindless way to kill time between other responsibilities.
>Cinemaphile complains when the white boy from Fionna and Cake scored a ginger tomboy GF >Cinemaphile complains when pale white boy kills the evil black lady in the new Castlevania
The culture wars really do be over if you guys keep grasping defeat from the jaws of victory.

the white man has also been whipping the poc vampires
She was an aunt jemima anyway.

no egyptian looks like that
Demon and vampires I can believe but a black person in any place in time brain breaks people

She was manipulating Bathory who was from Europe. Hungary is a lot closer to Egypt than the Caribbean.

Pretty sure if you're born in a place, that's good enough.
she wasn't born there, she was born in subsaharan africa
Don't remember her saying that, just that she was a priest in Egypt

It's weird how I can discuss the show with my co-worker and never mention race. Meanwhile that's all Cinemaphile care about.
