shareBOO HOO HOO cry me a river.
shareThis Diab guy sounds like he's just trying to amp up his project by just being a total dick. He criticized Black Adam over the same thing despite admitting that he's aware the Black Adam movie is based off "an iteration of the comics that doesn't mention Egypt".
shareI want to support him, but he is throwing stones from a glass house.
He seems to be attacking DC properties (WW84, Black Adam) and conveniently ignoring Marvel's shortfalls. WW84 was a terrible movie, but a masterpiece compared to X-Men: Apocalypse, which by the way, also starred Oscar Isaacs as a character with an origin story heavily tied to Egypt.
The Rock isn't Egyptian, but it would have been nice for Black Adam to keep the Arabian accent at least, true. But Disney also put out Prince of Persia -- cast a white guy (of Slavic origin no less) and not the most historically account either.
Kind of a funny thing to complain about, considering that of the comics his show is based on was probably even worse.
share"Egypt looked like a country from the Middle Ages. It looked like the desert."
This guy is an asshole.
"About 96 percent of Egypt's total area is desert."

To him I would say “Get a life!” Good Grief! Enough already with the portrayals aren’t fair! Cry me a river. 😭
shareWonder Woman 84 was bad but Moonknight is worse. I would watch 84 every day before I watch another episode of Moon Knight. 1/10
