      there are a couple of people annoyed with the fixation on cleopatra in particular when she's the tail end of a dynasty founded by basically a greek satrap (comparisons to colonialism have been made which i don't subscribe to but whatever) which is understandable i think: if you're an egypt nut you're probably screaming to netflix to cover basically anything else like the kushite dynasty if netflix is starved for portraying black pharaohs

      but also, this looks kinda shitty anyway, it's not really important enough to get mad about. i don't know if will smith's wife has any business doing egyptology but my heart says probably no.
