I do not have the strength to read any of those 1 star reviews, but I'm guessing mayos be malding? Also funny but it seems that in contrast Rotten Tomatoes does not have the same issue with their verified user reviewing system.

      yeah the only defense they give in having the movie take place in Dohomey is that the fictional leader character proposes to the King to stop slavery and instead sell palm oil, this is totally fictional. The producers and writers surely knew having this take place in Dohomey will be very controversial in the African-American community, they should've just created a totally fictitious kingdom with women warriors instead of try at historical revisionism.

        This is the newest type of neoliberal slob. Where we remove the artificial restriction on revisionist propaganda that made it so previously only white dudes could watch it, now every race and ethnicity can see themselves doing something wildly ahistorical which serves the interests of the neoliberal state at the moment.

      Looking forward to all the reactionaries on YouTube doing a historical corrections video on how the Dahomey kingdom was the villains all along
