Based on true events

Where they didn't bother researching that the person and tribe she was a part of were slavers capturing and selling other Africans to Jews and either didn't know or willfully ignored that information because all they could think of was "BLACK WOMAN KING SLAAAAYYY".

!!!FACT!!!

The costumes and sets were good, overall it was well filmed, as for the rest, well, everyone knows that it's 100% fictional.

is there a term for when a movie says "based on true events" but it's actually the literal exact opposite of what happened lmao

>Woman King

...so... a queen?

But it is really based on true events, these amazons existed and they did fight on various occasions, it's a fact.
Can't wait for a movie about nazis from the same director btw.

Alternate Universe fiction.

See also Hidden Figures, where apparently an astronaut about to make history and had everything on the line and never knew these women decided he wasn't going to the moon as one of the grandest achievements in all of mankind unless a black woman doublechecked some numbers, and SOMEHOW this world shaking racial event never got mentioned by anyone including the woman herself until after he died.

Wow, Im sure they protrayed it accurately and showed how she enslaved rival tribes and sold them off to the evil white man right? They shows she was just as greedy as the rest of her fellow africans would be given the chance right?

it is to an extent. there's a lot of revisionism about the Ashanti being heroes
