The Woman King is an upcoming American historical epic film
In the Kingdom of Dahomey, Nanisca is the general of the all-female military unit and Nawi is an ambitious recruit. Together, the pair fought enemies who violated their honor, enslaved their people, and threatened to destroy everything they have lived for.

Thuso Mbedu as Nawi

This dude is literally never going to be in a good movie is he
And no one is going to watch this.
>enemies who violated their honor, enslaved their people, and threatened to destroy everything they have lived for.
Well shiiiiiet maybe having all-female military is a dumb idea or something
>the african kingdom that sold other africans to the slave trade
>"""re-imagined""" as brave anti-slavery saviours
subversive
John "ooga" Boyga
In that case, are they fighting other Africans, or are they fighting whites, who wouldn't be there asides to trade.
>fighting the people who enslaved them
They're gonna be wypipo, not a rival African power
i hate women and black people
>Together, the pair fought enemies who violated their honor, enslaved their people, and threatened to destroy everything they have lived for.
so are they fighting against Dahomey or is this bizzaro world
>American historical epic
>set in Africa
Huh?
>"The slave trade has been the ruling principle of my people. It is the source of their glory and wealth. Their songs celebrate their victories and the mother lulls the child to sleep with notes of triumph over an enemy reduced to slavery."
t. dahomie
>violated their honor
Lmao they got raped
they are fighting whites to stop slavery in this movie
In reality they fought to keep the slave trade going and the royal navy had to blockade them to get them to stop
have been waiting for a historical drama about africa talking about the various warlords and their conflict but what the fuck?
>all-female military unit
>fought le evil slave masters
who is this for?
>Kingdom of Dahomey
>Da homey
>da homie
Who writes this shit
da homies
It's almost like the daily Any Forums stalking threads weren't based on reality
>Dahomey
>The Kingdom of Dahomey was an important regional power that had an organized domestic economy built on conquest and slave labor.
>In the 1840s, Dahomey began to face decline with British pressure to abolish the slave trade, which included the British Royal Navy imposing a naval blockade against the kingdom and enforcing anti-slavery patrols near its coast.
Are they seriously going to rewrite history?
The fact that there's an all female military unit already kinda rewrites itself, but if they're not fighting other African slavers, than yes.
