I'm sorry but what? It's literally about Egyptian history they OWN THAT ENTIRELY. What about Egyptians free speech? They aren't allowed to be upset when their culture isn't properly portrayed?

If they won the lawsuit it appears they have every right to do it my friend.

If you respect free speech they should be allowed to protest netflix.

Egyptians own egyptian history? Someone tell all the english museums. Maybe greece can get on board.

Well considering Cleopatra was likely part greek, I highly doubt they are gonna give up anything from her.

Somehow I don't doubt that.

I am just that powerful my friend you can't fathom me.

Can't find any readable news sources about the outcome, only that litigation started over half a year ago.

Even though I disagree with the inaccurate historical portrayal in the series and identity politics involved, I think they have the right to create bull like that. And as they got near-universally panned for it and as long as they don't copyfraud public domain cultural goods foreign to them (like a certain other media monster does), I think Egyptian history and culture will come through this unscathed.

Still, I get the anger driving this lawsuit.

Yea it's a clickbait. The youtuber covered this topic 6 months ago and make the same video last month. I thought the lawsuit is over but apparently not

Yeah it says otherwise because Egyptian law is not good in this regard. Simple.

good enough to beat a giant billion dollar corporation apparently.

Not even. This video is massively irresponsible with its claims. Watching the video, it seems as if there was not even a ruling yet. The video title should be more along the lines of Egypt Sues Netflix for 2 Billion Over Cleopatra, since Netflix hadn't lost anything at the time it was posted.

It was posted a month ago though.

I was more making a joke that if the Egyptians get their stuff back, maybe greece will ride that same wave and get their stuff back.

BTW... did the documentary SAY that Cleopatra looked like the actress!?!?

If not, are they suing over a bad casting decision?

If so, I [emotionally] hope they go after Aquaman[www.imdb.com] next.

Aquaman is supposed to be blonde!!!

(And Aquaman of Earth One and Two Pre-Crisis was REAL. Before Crisis all alternate Earths existed in the multiverse including the actual real one we live on today.)

Better yet, sue all the Arrowverse shows that had Crisis on Infinite Earths on it... Crisis on Infinite Earths says that the multiverse was destroyed, but guess what... we're still here! So not hard to prove that Crisis was lie.

$2 Billion :runeshock:

Why should a media company pay $2,000,000,000?

i remember bionicle did that when they used mahori language and had to pay a settlement

later some photographer also had to pay money


it's one thing to ♥♥♥♥ up with your own culture religion etc

it's another to mess with someone else's and honestly this is the few times egypt is pretty based for doing so.

basically at this point it's a smear campaign

Very cool my man, I've never had jury duty.

Thanks.

A big joke for me and my friend was how they keep acting like everyone wants to get out of Jury duty, whereas I'd love to set a jury straight on anything they might be confused about.

They make a big fuss about how you need to send in a letter from your doctor if your medically unfit. Oh horrors....

So, hypothetically, if I'm medically unfit, but want to serve, I won't send in the letter I don't have and won't ask for so I get to serve anyways? Sounds good to me.

I just turned something else about first-hand jury experience into a top level post here:

I posted something about a jury, but I'm going to turn it into a top level post. Search on "Jury."

They had that jury duty show that CONSTANTLY advertised on prime

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_Duty_(2023_TV_series)

in the promos for the show one of the jurors during the selection when they asked why they shouldn't have to serve and he says cause he's racist and that it made me laugh everytime. I really should watch that series.


Netflix needs to do shows like that thats good watching.
