Lets be honest, they did not make a historical accurate movie. They are not going to allow the all women fighters fight for slavery not against it. Also they are not going to show them as the incompetent bafoons that they were.

But clown world marches own and a show that is not going to be in any way faithful to history is apparently the best thing ever.

Not sure what the exact timeframe of the movie is, but I'm betting they'll also leave out the Battle of Adégon, where the French launched a bayonet charge at a Dahomey force consisting primarily of Agojie. Over 500 Dahomey died, over 400 of which were women. 6 French died.

I heard 1820s. It's before the First Franco-Dahomean war, so it's unclear to me what the historical context for the film is, if any

Buffoon. Probably originated with a guy named Jean-Louis LeClerc, the Compte of Buffon, a natural historian who had evolutionary views well before Darwin - and was mocked for it.

I just thought it was a synonym for jester. Very educational, would have made a good Time squad episode. It reminds me of Earl of Sandwich

A completely fair and 100% organic score. No bias or politics from the reviewers in those scores.

If only there was a name for a woman version of a king.

In Jadwiga's case, it was basically a bit of legalese jigger-pigging to basically avoid what happened with Elizabeth I (as seems to me, at least), at least until the elites (moreso than The People, as usual) wrapped their heads around the idea of a ruling queen not giving up her birthright just because she got married for to continue the dynastic bloodline.

Ahistorical nonsense whitewashing (in the original sense of the word) a bunch of slave raiders.

Critics think its amazing. Meanwhile, Benin's neighbours are still asking them for reparations to this day.

FYI the movie is glorifying the blacks who enslaved other blacks and sold them to whites, LOL:

The growth of Dahomey coincided with the growth of the Atlantic slave trade, and it became known to Europeans as a major supplier of slaves.[2] As a highly militaristic kingdom constantly organised for warfare, it captured children, women, and men during wars and raids against neighboring societies, and sold them into the Atlantic slave trade in exchange for European goods such as rifles, gunpowder, fabrics, cowrie shells, tobacco, pipes, and alcohol.[5][6] Other remaining captives became slaves in Dahomey, where they worked on royal plantations and were routinely mass executed in large-scale human sacrifices during the festival celebrations known as the Annual Customs of Dahomey.

Also the "Dahomey Amazons" were scrubs who got wiped out in hand-to-hand combat against THE FRENCH:

During a battle with French soldiers at Adegon on 6 October during the second war, the bulk of the Amazon corps were wiped out in a matter of hours in hand-to-hand combat after the French engaged them with a bayonet charge.[19] The Dahomey lost 86 regulars and 417 Dahomey Amazons, with nearly all of those deaths being inflicted by bayonets; the French lost 6 soldiers.[20]

Gee, maybe if the French can K/D you at 84:1 maybe it's because women can't fight for shit.

They can only get away with this because Siskel & Ebert are both dead. /and no one has replaced them.

I guess RT pro reviewers just really, really love the trans-atlantic slave trade.

Nobody cares about critic reviews. It's the user reviews that matter.

I beg to differ. The best metric is the contrast between critics and user score.

The only woman king I've ever heard of was a Polack. Why not make a movie about her?

The fact that nobody is protesting this proves that all the racial movements are in feminism's pocket.
