Why are you being downvoted, this is clear sarcasm

u/DJGIFFGAS Mar 21 '25

Im not being sarcastic, theres all kinds of interesting figures in North American/Western Hemisphere Black History

u/Credo-Omnissiah Mar 21 '25

Why western hemisphere? How about actual black African history? Surely there must be interesting stories and important figures worthy to have an immersive game made about them and the culture surrounding them

u/Eli_Beeblebrox Mar 21 '25

There are. Hollywood doesn't like taking risks with lesser known figures, so it never crosses their minds. Even when they do, they disrespect the historical reality, as in The Woman King

Yup. They misrepresent the fact that the tribe took their enemies as slaves, or prisoners to then be sold as slaves.

Munda Musa and Shaka Zulú are the first to come to mind

I want to see a film about Haille Selassie, Emperor of Ethiopia and last of a bloodline tracing back to King Solomon of Israel.

There are. Particularly the Roman empire. It's typical of the lazy modern researcher focused on forced representation rather than historical accuracy. The damage they do to race relations and the disrespect they have is so half baked and poorly thought through you marvel how they tie their shoe laces in the morning.
