Why wasn't this a bigger deal? Why is no one talking about this?

Whether right or wrong, social media outrage is a blind roulette, not a reasonable evaluation of what requires the most attention. It's why, even as a really liberal guy, I fucking hate tumblr and twitter and all their lowest common denominator progressivism.

oscar isaac can pass for a north african or middle easterner with no problems

I never see Americans complain about the horrible casting of Alexander the Great with Colin Farrell, or Troy with Brad Pitt, or every Roman thing ever with British actors.

I don't know why I greentexted this whole shit, because I didn't originally plan to get so worked up. This movie sucked balls. How do you dump so much time and budget into something without realizing what a steaming pile of garbage you're making?

Egyptians weren't black.

>"In general, various DNA studies have found that the gene frequencies of modern North African populations are intermediate between those of the Near East, Southern Europe and Sub Saharan Africa, though the frequency distributions of the non-recombining portion of the Y chromosome of modern Egyptian population appear to be much more similar to those of the Middle East than to any sub-Saharan African population, suggesting a much larger Eurasian genetic component."

This would probably make them closest to what was once called the "Arabid" race, a subset of Caucusoid. Essentially, tanned white people with black hair.
>>
>>83689011
Because Ancient Egyptians were not niggers. Do you also think spanishes and swedes look exactly the same.

Quicksilver and Nightcrawler saved the movie

Black people commit 50% of the crimes even though they represent 13% of the people in America.

Facts are not racism, maybe instead of stealing bikes and cultures you should stay in school Tyrone :^)

i love how they brought up conclusive facts and you just namedropped a boogeyman

really doing those niggers a favor with your argumentative capabilities

Do you think we'll get the 90sclops costume in the next movie?

Or the old theme song?

it's ironic that you call their sources racist when you link two extremely racist sites in response

and the only thing you proved was that egyptians made statues of people with big noses, which can also point to eurasian genetics

Dis gon b gud. Nice going btw with the whole not proving that black are responsible for a disproportionate amount of crime btw

Next movie Wolverine 3 and Deadpool 2.

Next X-Men movie will probably kill Cyclops and Nightcrawler off. And focus only on Magneto, Prof X, Magneto, Mystique, Magneto, Quicksilver, and shockingly Magneto.

It will take place in the 90s but outside of a reference and picture frame, it will feel no different than modern day.

You could have a film in ancient Egypt and have every single member of the cast and extras be played by Egyptians and liberals would still flip shit at no niggers

Also for apocalypse they really couldn't bitch because the film has a Mexican guy, 2 Asian chicks, and a niggres

It's basically captain planet

>its a Egypt isnt black because of muh Romans and Greek occupation episode
it's been thousands of years since then and in that time you've had multiple Muslim Caliphate controlling it and African immigrants going into the country at one point or another.

Because SJW's don't watch cape movies that aren't MCU

>>83689793

This is mostly right. I can't help but think that Americans don't realize how fucking big Africa is, and how it was (and is) populated by people from a wide variety of races

Thinking all africans must be black should be considered racist in itself but that's too much to ask
>>
>>83689011
Because they know about WE WUZ KINGS and it hurts their feelings
>>
>>83689011
Because Fox gets brownie points for adapting the X-Men franchise. No joke. I have a friend who is very pissed off about how they "white-washed" Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver in the MCU but is silent on Quicksilver and Magneto being "white-washed" in the same way in X-Men.

In this case the white washing is the fact that in the comics Magneto and descendants are Romani Jewish which is apparently not white.

God dammit, I'm not even being racist. All I'm saying is Egyptians were not black so bitching about them not being black in a movie is retarded.

I'm just a fan of history and think the lineage of various peoples is interesting.

Go bitch at the WE WUZ KANGZ guys and this retard >>83690300

>>83689011

Looking at the credits, they actually did a better job than most at casting Middle-easterners in Middle-eastern/North African roles. Two of the three credited conspiratorial guards were Middle-eastern (the other was Latino), the dying En Sabah Nur was Armenian, two of the Apocalypse cultists were Middle-eastern (the other was, again, Latin), the street vendors in Cairo were Middle-eastern. I give Singer some credit there, he did a better job casting appropriate people for a story set in ancient Egypt than Alex Proyas, who was actually born in Egypt.

And we really have no idea how far afield his Horsemen came from, nor how far they searched for the mutant to be Apocalypse's next body (Oscar Isaac).
