At least he's not deep black.
Tbh he's not really much darker than any where on the Mediterranean.
Or is it more diwn to the rudi poo features?
>>1647417
The show sucks
>Cheap and inaccurate props
>Briefly skims over historical information
>Constructs a biased narrative with Rome as evil and everyone else as good
>Shows the father of western civilization as evil
I only watched the first couple of episodes. Did they do a episode about the Jeiwsh rebellions yet?

This guy is right. They show how Rome "oppress" everyone, and make it from the savages perspective. All the while the Romans kick their asses at almost every turn (please don't bring up the profligate Varus)
>>1647550
>had to google "varus"
now google "pleb"

RAGE
wait a sec, are they saying that Hannibal was a barbarians? He was not!
>>1647435
I think the point is that he should be semitic or tunisian. Tunisians are african and are fairly light skinned. The view of Hollywood to take all things "african" and make them black is very ignorant.
African =/= Black
>>1647435
>>1647531
They couched Hannibal fight against Rome as a civil rights struggle. The non slave holding carthaginians against the slave holding Romans.
>>1647433
Better than white Anglos with British accents playing Romans.
>>1647811
Shouldn't one look to the Poenician areas along Beirut and Lebanon? Very few Carthaginians outside the city in Africa.
>>1647845
Are you implying an American or an Indian accent would be more suitable?
>>1647845
The uppity posh Brit accent is used because it represents Roman snobbishness.
>>1647869
When it's an American show, an American accent would be better yes. Yet the shows went out of their way to use British actors or use British accents.
>>1647435
>Tbh he's not really much darker than any where on the Mediterranean.
Except he is far darker than anyone on the Mediterranean, similar to when black nationalists claim that the Moors (and by extension all Berbers/North Africans) were black.
>>1647845
There are some Brits (like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciar%C3%A1n_Hinds, who played Julius Caesar in HBO's Rome) that can pass for being Umbrian/Italian. That is unless you're a WE WUZ who thinks the Romans were nordics/black.
>>1647811
Tunisians are niggers tho
Source : my country is full of them
And actually i'd MUCH rather have a random negro get screen time than a muslim
Muslims shouldnt have leading roles in American cinema that is just wrong, never forget 9/11
>>1648111
Ciarán Hinds isn't British, literally the first line of the article you linked says that.
>>1648207
not sure if B8 or shilling Black anon
>>1647417
was exited for it since viking turned out to be top tier, dropped when I found out that they incorporated wewuz-ism into Carthage

fpbp
Who even bothers with History channel anymore? Ever heard of the Smithsonian channel? Their videos are alright, at least the ones I watched online. They're very lefty though, but I hadn't seen it penetrate into their works yet.
>>1650968
it's only one episode
the rest of the show is kinda shit anyways though
>>1651305
I watch AHC and smithsonian now. Ever since they got rid of H2 the history channel plays nothing but pawn stars.
>>1651420
Stop using the Latin alphabet and a language which has a Latin influenced past.
>>1651422
Stop speaking a Germanic language
The preview I saw for it made my blood boil. History as told by people with only the faintest familiarity with real history.
