Only because of the Industrial Revolution making much of the human labor obsolete. British had an empire do you really believe they did that solely because “slavery bad” and had African natives best interests in mind?

The tribe suffered losses in the hundreds while the French lost only a few men and made them stop practicing slavery. Also stop washing the history of African slavery" Woman King: "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
Hey dude, I'm a nigerian and hearing about the woman king being based on what i've been taught to be part of yoruba history i thought the film would at least acknowledge the fact that alot of african tribes actively participated in the slave trade but even resisted the abolition of slavery in west africa. It's also funny considering how misogynistic nigeria (africa in general) is, that they'd assume a bunch of female warriors were even remotely given any iota of respect or authority. great video ! at least somebody did their research haha!

Response is simple: ignorant woke Afro-American cast, directed by woke ignorant white American movie director. So f*ck history of Benin, let's present our narrative
@anthonylopez7887The film takes place in 1823 their war to maintain control of the slave trade was decades later. This wasn't about the Frano-Dahomey war but the Oyo Dahomey war.
Critical Drinker is way too radically woke. Reaper's soul hasn't been taken by the Jews yet. It'll happen, but as long as he remains a smaller RUclipsr, he'll remain free to keep stating the truth. Reaper is much better than Drinker, the woke pussy.
Back in the times when this movie took place feminism wasn't even a thought,because in order for women to be able to do the things they're allowed to do today,they need a tamed earth and comfortable society. These people don't realize that they can't find any long lasting examples of strong woman empowerment in history because women who tried to do what men did back then had no safety nets or cushy society to rely on.
Umm, what are you talking about? Amina, Queen Elizabeth, Hatshepsut, Nefertiti, Empress Himiko, Boudicca, Joan of Arc, Molly Pitcher, Artemisia and many others throughout the ancient and modern world didn’t have “safety nets or cushy society to rely on” clearly you don’t know world history. Now this films is definitely an insult, not only to the actual country but to many REAL women who achieved greatness in ancient times.
@@fmc291 I dont think thats their point, it was a savage world back then, so women wanting to be in a mans position would be risky. Of course in other societies, like the one the USA hijacked, women were superiors of the grand council, but Irokwa MEN still fought war lol. And Aztecs viewed menstruation as the woman's war in a respectful way so make of that what you will.
'safety nets' and 'cushy society' clues us in on how you really feel about women. Are you done crying anytime soon? Societies weren't safe for women because of men making it so. Because letting women do things and having the same responsibilities was too harsh on male egos.
@@gregrobinette8620 we didn’t hijacked the society Americans just aggressively took control of our own society & sadly Britain was in the way at the time…
Braveheart is one of the most historically inaccurate movies of all time, but it’s still a fun movie. The point is don’t get your history from movies. Find a good book instead.
I watched a video a few months ago which went into historical accuracy in movies. The producers and writers have literally said they are going to invent the history that should have been and that they are not going to let historical accuracy get in the way of them imagining something bigger and better. So they have put their cards on the table, they are going to use the media to rewrite history.
@@noahhaupt5343 It’s easier to indulge in ignorance than to do actual research. As a historian of the Civil War (particularly the perspectives of former Confederates) I see this all the time-though perhaps a bit less than several years ago, apparently even Southerners have realized flying a traitor’s flag is cringe.
I'm saving these videos so Susan's boyfriend can't take them away again! Thank you for reuploading the ones that you can Reaper!! These reviews are awesome!
If they really wanted to do the strong women warriors trope they should have done something with Scandinavian shield maidens which were female Vikings pretty much.

I think this is basically what would happen if you have a tool a bunch of Twitter users, gave them a college level world history book, and allowed them to do whatever to the book.
The part about selling palm oil instead of slaves actually is based on something real. The king really did consider doing that. However, he rejected this as unfeasible. And even if it could have worked, who would be gathering the palm oil? Obviously it would be slaves. Just because he considered replacing the slave trade with palm oil trade doesn't mean he was going to abolish domestic slavery.
Unless people stop pandering to these "people" Hollywood, comic books, and literature will only be a memory. They're already rewriting the books, telling you Roald Dahl and James Bond are too radical and insensitive...

The minute I saw the trailer for this film I knew it had to be fake-history. I knew nothing about the tribe but I could tell it was false. Sure enough after a bit of research, I was proved correct. The writers thought they'd win Oscars for this nonsense, hoping nobody would enquire into the actual truth.
It's not that they wouldn't give up the slave trade. It was the Dahomey kept harassing and attacking villages in what is modern day Cameroon under French protection. So they had to be dealt with.

And Edward the second, the prince wasn't a twink pansy either but a man that as strong as his father that insist returned to battlefield while wounded.
It takes about three seconds of research to know that Dahomey was a slave trading state. Most on the west coast of Africa were. The europeans didn't have the man power to personally capture slaves (also tropical diseases meant that travelling into the interior was basically a death sentence to europeans which is why their 'factories' were coastal forts). They just bought them from the local nations who enslaved them. There's also a very obvious physical reason why pretty much every battle in history was fought between men. I'm not saying women can't fight, but if you had 1000 female warriors vs. 1000 male warriors who had been trained in exactly the same way, then the battle would be incredibly one sided. Braveheart and The Patriot were both retarded historical revisionism. This film seems equally stupid.

And when faced by a real army these women were decimated. Even when they had modern weapons.
And to add insult to injury, the army in question were the French.
@@samuelbedsole5089only like a couple hundred French bois basically decimate the whole kingdom
@@samuelbedsole5089 Do not mess with baguette boys.
@@chrisjfhelep5095lol
the total statistics as:
almsot the entire women army decimated
6 baguette boys dead
so why didn't the woman king show Nanisca trading slaves for the bottle of booze she puts on her friend's grave at the end of the film?
oh yes it's not part of the MESSAGE.
Response is simple: ignorant woke Afro-American cast, directed by woke ignorant white American movie director. So f*ck history of Benin, let's present our narrative
Critical drinker moment
@anthonylopez7887The film takes place in 1823 their war to maintain control of the slave trade was decades later. This wasn't about the Frano-Dahomey war but the Oyo Dahomey war.
Just discovered this channel and it's like if Critical Drinker and Paddy Pimblett had a baby. Love it
Mr plinkett more like it*
Same here
😂👍🤝
Critical Drinker is way too radically woke. Reaper's soul hasn't been taken by the Jews yet. It'll happen, but as long as he remains a smaller RUclipsr, he'll remain free to keep stating the truth. Reaper is much better than Drinker, the woke pussy.
And probably also Scottish, kinda sounds like a Glasgow accent :) Both brilliant channles.
"With all these women around, they were probably nagged to death!" Hahahaha! 😂😂😂 That was a good one! 😂😂😂

this movie is a middle finger to actual history.
Back in the times when this movie took place feminism wasn't even a thought,because in order for women to be able to do the things they're allowed to do today,they need a tamed earth and comfortable society.
These people don't realize that they can't find any long lasting examples of strong woman empowerment in history because women who tried to do what men did back then had no safety nets or cushy society to rely on.
Umm, what are you talking about? Amina, Queen Elizabeth, Hatshepsut, Nefertiti, Empress Himiko, Boudicca, Joan of Arc, Molly Pitcher, Artemisia and many others throughout the ancient and modern world didn’t have “safety nets or cushy society to rely on” clearly you don’t know world history. Now this films is definitely an insult, not only to the actual country but to many REAL women who achieved greatness in ancient times.
@@fmc291 I dont think thats their point, it was a savage world back then, so women wanting to be in a mans position would be risky. Of course in other societies, like the one the USA hijacked, women were superiors of the grand council, but Irokwa MEN still fought war lol. And Aztecs viewed menstruation as the woman's war in a respectful way so make of that what you will.
'safety nets' and 'cushy society' clues us in on how you really feel about women. Are you done crying anytime soon?
Societies weren't safe for women because of men making it so. Because letting women do things and having the same responsibilities was too harsh on male egos.
@@gregrobinette8620 we didn’t hijacked the society Americans just aggressively took control of our own society & sadly Britain was in the way at the time…
@@juliab9596 no it wasnt. You wouldnt even been supressed, if you were strong.
Remember kids, if a movie intentionally gets the history wrong andnjust rewrites it. It's called a propaganda.
Braveheart is one of the most historically inaccurate movies of all time, but it’s still a fun movie. The point is don’t get your history from movies. Find a good book instead.
I just can’t believe this feminist movie is called the woman king instead of queen 💀
Feminists are not very smart…

It's movies like these I take "based on a true story" with a grain of salt.
Based on a true story here means there is a continent called Africa and it used to sell slaves.
Only a grain?
@@alsmith9853 it's called a hyperbole.
Grain of a grain a micro of a micro 😂💀⚰️🙈🙉🙊
I watched a video a few months ago which went into historical accuracy in movies. The producers and writers have literally said they are going to invent the history that should have been and that they are not going to let historical accuracy get in the way of them imagining something bigger and better. So they have put their cards on the table, they are going to use the media to rewrite history.
The producers bet all their tokens on a dead man's hand while historians and anyone who Google search for answers had a royal flush
Orwell was an optimist tbh
Why bother making a historical movie if they won’t stick to facts.
@@sweethistortea The people behind such productions have their agendas but depicting truth is not one of them
@@noahhaupt5343
It’s easier to indulge in ignorance than to do actual research. As a historian of the Civil War (particularly the perspectives of former Confederates) I see this all the time-though perhaps a bit less than several years ago, apparently even Southerners have realized flying a traitor’s flag is cringe.

If they really wanted to do the strong women warriors trope they should have done something with Scandinavian shield maidens which were female Vikings pretty much.
But they were white, the left doesn’t like that.
They can't do that! That's too white!
yeah but they were white and uninteresting (not as money generating🤑)
They already did that in the Vikings TV show.
Shield Maiden. Accompanied the men to battle and handed them shields when theirs was broken...
“Don’t damage the merchandise” 😂
What a quote 😂
LOL! The oxymoronic title is almost as great of an example as the twisted story for how devoted people possessed by an ideology can be to forcing their view on everything and everyone; regardless of how badly the fit.
I mean, its not oxymoronic in some cultures tbh. Poland for example had a female king(Not queen) for a while. Still shit film lmao
@@wlodek8757 Poland also had a Polar Bear officially enlisted into its army, and he earned multiple awards and went up like three ranks. His statue stands to this day.
I'm amazed they didnt make the king submit his power to that woman while telling her she is amazing and perfect and 100 times more suited to rule than him.

Don't put that shit out there mate. Braveheart bothers me and a lot of other Scots already and the misrepresenting of our history. That's a fight woke Hollywood don't want.

There is a third party that played a major role in slavery that never gets talked about....
That 3rd party owned 78% of slave in America.
I'm sure this is just a cohencidence.
who could it be now?
ALIENS! ALIENS! 🤕
Who?
It’s been a pleasure rewatching these bangers😎
I seem to remember Native Americans being portrayed as children of Eden by the colors of the wind Disney crowd. Yup, nothing but sunshine and puppy dog kisses until that evil ship of scum and villainy the Mayflower appeared on the horizon.
when in reality their was a lot of war, slavery, and genocide going on long before the Europeans arrived
The Women King is basically black panther if it tried to be a historically "accurate" movie.
They sought to promote women. They sought to promote Africans. But they had failed to realize that they too, are human.
White man bad is the point of most modern movies now
Fast X have non-white man that playing villain, ant man 3 as well
Because white people were and sometimes still are horrible in this country
For the people who saw this movie , I am sorry you guys went through that lmao
imagine a cinema full of beta males, secretly wanting to leave but being afraid of the consequences and punishment of their short haired, grunting libber-gfs😂
I think this is basically what would happen if you have a tool a bunch of Twitter users, gave them a college level world history book, and allowed them to do whatever to the book.
True
The part about selling palm oil instead of slaves actually is based on something real. The king really did consider doing that. However, he rejected this as unfeasible. And even if it could have worked, who would be gathering the palm oil? Obviously it would be slaves. Just because he considered replacing the slave trade with palm oil trade doesn't mean he was going to abolish domestic slavery.
Unless people stop pandering to these "people" Hollywood, comic books, and literature will only be a memory. They're already rewriting the books, telling you Roald Dahl and James Bond are too radical and insensitive...
Wow wdm by that
Nooooo not Roald Dahl bro
I heard that Katt Williams was offered a part in this movie but his response was " A pimp named Slickback dont do SHIT for Dahomeys"

So true. Just look at the damage the Southern lie of the “Noble Cause” has twisted our knowledge of the truth of the Civil War.
The first oxymoron: Woman King.
I love the recaps from this channel, this is gold.
You can practicly see the creators gigling to them selves thinking how smart they are at every stupid scene. It's amazing.
Of course they'll lies about history. The truth is way too triggering.
its funny how these strong female characters that beat any men only exist in fiction. Like Cleopatra could only "lead" by seducing other men, but never outright beating them, only persuading them into doing what she wanted.
The only ones I can think of were those soviet women soldiers, that chinese pirate queen of 700 ships, and boudicca.
@@Hongobogologomo oh yes the 5% of the soviet army. what a surprise that u need strong women to defeat normal men. but at the end of they say it shouldnt matter, we should just help each other out in what we can, but nooo women want all the glory with none of the responsibilites and ill gladly flip them off on that.
@@scottjefferson4048
Dude, what’s your damage?
@@Hongobogologomo
Cleopatra actually led troops, at least at the battle of Actium. Though not a head of state, there’s also Joan d’Arc.
Im pretty sure joan of arc killed a guy or two.
The one I actually feel the most sad for in this film is John Boyega, he must have needed the money.
Probably, he’s the only cast member I still respect. He openly spoke out against China and his career paid for it.
The minute I saw the trailer for this film I knew it had to be fake-history. I knew nothing about the tribe but I could tell it was false. Sure enough after a bit of research, I was proved correct. The writers thought they'd win Oscars for this nonsense, hoping nobody would enquire into the actual truth.
Thanks for a real perspective on a movie that very much needed to be stopped before it got the greenlight.
That was the best narrative of a film I have ever heard ! It had me in stitches 🤣 absolutely 💯
I just realized that a lot of movies are starting to use the Chinese rope Dart mechanics but don't know how to use the Chinese rope Dart mechanics.
Fun fact the Dahomey were defeated within only a couple days by the French since the Dahomey wouldn’t give up the slave trade
It's not that they wouldn't give up the slave trade. It was the Dahomey kept harassing and attacking villages in what is modern day Cameroon under French protection. So they had to be dealt with.
As a french, I found that movie hilarious.
Hey man just wanna say that youre videos are EXTREMELY entertaining !! I know some of your videos got removed by the YT overlords & I think you're taken back a bit, but to us your viewers, its gold, period. Don't ever stop brother! Keep fighting ! Much love ❤

I'm subbed and this didn't show up on my reccomended until I looked at my subscriptions
Nearly liked every video too, it's unfortunate the algorithm gotta do him like this, the content doesn't deserve that.
A woman king... is a queen
at last, the algorithm has found a good channel.
you have no idea how long it's been since last time and neither do I
My sister recognized the actor who played the slaver. He played the edgy love interest in After. What a shitty role he got. 🤣
As Idi Amin once said: "There is freedom of speech, but i cannot guarante freedom after speech"
You can't have a different opinion because you will get branded "homophobic, racist, fascist, nazi, even fatphobic(why tho), white supremacist, male chauvinist for simply saying something different
As a Manc, i am delighted to subscribe to this scousers channel, its great !
I loved the part where the woman king said, "These are my slaves. You can't have them." So inspiring and brave, it brought me to tears.
As an African. This movie disappoints me
I just found your channel. You are so fucking hilarious 😭😭💀💀I’m waking up the whole damn house w my cackling. You kept spitting fact after fact.
I love this guy's accent and humour..😂😅
Please do more of these videos, nothing is more enjoyable on RUclips than your reviews ❤
Total propaganda. Lupita Nyongo had the sense to pass on the main role.
The comparison to braveheart is a chefs kiss! Films used to be made to entertain instead of telling people you should like this or you’re racist and if you don’t I’ll give out on twitter
I remember Braveheart having a scene where the English king knocks his sons BF out a tower window. Just writing a scene like that would possibly cause some protests or a riot in today's world. 😂
And Edward the second, the prince wasn't a twink pansy either but a man that as strong as his father that insist returned to battlefield while wounded.
This might be the best review I've seen....ever.
my suspension of disbelief is ruined... but i thank you for telling me what i needed to hear.
Your 'cut-to' references are epic!
I actually cried laughing at this!! Great video, and funny as hell!!
“You haven’t bought her yet dont damage the merchandise”
If it's BS it fits in perfectly in Hollywood😂
I’ve always thought the title to be redundant. Thanks for pointing it out.
I want this guy to narrate a child birth😂😂😂😂
It’s about time the English get some respect for being the main force to stop the global slave trade.
It takes about three seconds of research to know that Dahomey was a slave trading state. Most on the west coast of Africa were. The europeans didn't have the man power to personally capture slaves (also tropical diseases meant that travelling into the interior was basically a death sentence to europeans which is why their 'factories' were coastal forts). They just bought them from the local nations who enslaved them. There's also a very obvious physical reason why pretty much every battle in history was fought between men. I'm not saying women can't fight, but if you had 1000 female warriors vs. 1000 male warriors who had been trained in exactly the same way, then the battle would be incredibly one sided. Braveheart and The Patriot were both retarded historical revisionism. This film seems equally stupid.
I mean but there's still more historical context to the dahomey answer honestly to this question who are the mino/ gbeto
At least Braveheart and The Patriot were entertaining and had logically consistent narratives.
@@reharl4953 True dis. The tomahawk fight at the start (despite being stolen shamelessly from Last of the Mohicans) is still pretty cool.
4:32 It's hilarious that he used the word "comrade" to describe their own people. I highly doubt they would had used such a word in 19th century Africa. Call me a skeptic but I highly doubt they had read Marx's works.
Or just being retarded and using a word they thought would fit
When I saw the trailer for this movie I laughed so hard I legit nearly had a haertattack
Also irl these female "warriors" were bayonet charged by the French and the results were 500 Dahomey killed while the french lost 6 soldiers.
