[QUOTE]Originally posted by King_Scorpion: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Achillobator: [qb] What I cannot comprehend is that, if Zahi Hawass is so upset over what he perceives as a phenotypical misrepresentation of the Ancient Egyptians, why can't he just say so, instead of resorting to these underhanded tactics? It's not as if the media would ignore him or go against him if he openly railed against these portrayals---if anything, most would show sympathy towards him, since he [i]is[/i] an Egyptian, after all. BTW, this guy looks awesome: [IMG]http://wysinger.homestead.com/zann.jpg[/IMG] He's awfully handsome for a probable villain, actually. I wonder if he will develop a relationship with any of the major female characters? Oh, and the Akhesa chick looks [b]hot[/b] for a piece of cel animation. You cannot go wrong with a black chick in Ancient Egyptian garb. Now all they need to do is make a live-action version... [/qb][/QUOTE]Easy...blatant racism is looked down upon by the West now (the people he's appealing to, white Westerners...no offense). His educated opinions and career would be questioned if people thought he was some ethnic supremist. So he's forced to resort to these underhanded tactics to appear as if he's against it for another reason. When in reality, everyone knows why he got Fletcher banned and everyone knows why he's against this film. It's sort of like the "don't ask, don't tell" thing. Everyone knows, but everyone doesn't know. [/QB][/QUOTE]
