Oh, word, we're going to be angry about people comparing TV shows to extremely popular hit shows with similar appeal? That's cool

(Anonymous) 2015-02-18 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
When quite a lot of people dismiss it for not being enough like GoT, that's pretty frustrating

(Anonymous) 2015-02-18 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, those people are idiots. But the comparison is not inherently invalid.

(Anonymous) 2015-02-18 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
It's not like GoT, but ... It's still a shitty show.

Why is Marco white? I thought he was black demisexual aromantic foxkin.

(Anonymous) 2015-02-18 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Well it is a fair question, under old Hollywood rules as he was Venetian (Italian) Marco Polo ought to be portrayed by a dirty white and not look like a real white. There are certainly enough Greek actors or Red Indian actors for the role.

(Anonymous) 2015-02-18 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
This is why I enjoy the casting. He's a northern Italian figure played by a northern Italian actor.

(Anonymous) 2015-02-18 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
That is just insane, under the Hollywood race casting. Greeks play all Italians, except Sicilians who should be played by Turks, and North Italians play either French or Clean Spanish. Southern Italian actors should do television comedy or variety shows. Irish, of course, get to play Low-Irish. Civilized Irish get played by either Scots or English. Jews always play Jews or Nazis.

Uhm.

*scrubbing off body*
WHY AM I BLOODY!?

(Anonymous) 2015-02-18 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Ug, go the fuck back to Reddit.

(Anonymous) 2015-02-18 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Respect people's headcanons, you twit. Marco Polo wasn't even real, he can be any gender.

(Anonymous) 2015-02-18 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
> Marco Polo wasn't even real

I'm crying

(Anonymous) 2015-02-18 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. He invented water tag, and a type of breath mint. Jesus. VW even honored him by name a car after him even.

(Anonymous) 2015-02-18 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
I sincerely believe some people thought this.

Although I am open to interpretation on him not being completely hetero. C'mon Netflix, don't fail me now.

(Anonymous) 2015-02-18 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
demisexual aromantic? So, what, he's monogamous but not demonstrative?

(Anonymous) 2015-02-18 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
This looks good. Must check it out. Thanks!

(Anonymous) 2015-02-18 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
I mostly noticed people confused about Yusuf when the show first came out. I remember reading a blog post ranting about how "Arabs are viewed as white in America that's why there's an Arab" and I was just like wtf??

(Anonymous) 2015-02-18 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Satire?

Please tell me it was satire.

(Anonymous) 2015-02-18 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
I honestly am not sure. That comment in particular came from a male from Jordan, so it might be how he viewed Arab-Americans? I'm still pretty confused by it. Oh, and now that I think about it more, he had said it in response to others being excited about all the PoC representation in MP.

His was definitely an extreme reaction.

>people are assholes for making dumb jokes
...Okay.

WHAT? WHAT?

(Anonymous) 2015-02-18 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Why wouldn't Marco Polo be white? Why wouldn't there be a Muslim guy?

Re: WHAT? WHAT?

(Anonymous) 2015-02-18 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
For some reason these are recurring questions for people.
