Black man trying to end his association with this whitewashed monstrosity.
It’s been established that I’m not a fan of films that seek to build a fantastical history completely devoid of people of color. When I first heard about the 99.9 percent white casting for the big-budget mega-film Gods of Egypt, I, like many other people of color, had many questions:
Why?
What year is it again?
What’s their sunscreen budget?
Dear God, why?
But after watching the finished product, I can now breathe a sigh of relief.
Y’all, I’m not even mad.
I never thought I’d be saying this, but the whitewashing of this film is the LEAST offensive thing about Gods of Egypt…
