Why hasn’t there been a true, epic historical kino about the greatest general in human history?
We got Lincoln and it was pretty good, but where the fuck is the Washingtonkino

not an american but gotta respect the guy

Washington was a great man, but he miat definitely wasnt the greatest general ever. That would be Napoleon or Alexander.
Washington was the greatest land aurveyor ever.
Brody Morales
>greatest general
Uh, no he wasn’t. He was good, maybe even great, but he was no strategic genius like Napoleon or Clausewitz. A truly accurate depiction of his struggles in the Revolution would be A+++ kino though, you’re right about that.
Caleb Moore
Washington was a lot of things but a good general wasn't one of them.

Cmon. But the American revolution series is pure kino though

Napoleon brought the modern enlightenment republican order to all of Europe.
Jack Fisher
Much of Europe as we know it now was shaped by Napoleon. Multiple Countries only really exist because of him. Although to be fair one could say if the American Revolution didn't happen and set of the French one Napoleon may have never been able to take power. Alexander's influence can be considering even broader but since it happened thousands of years ago it's more difficult if not impossible to draw a direct line between his empire and the modern world. And regardless modern relevance isn't a way to measure military skill. Hannibal lost the war and his country ceased to exist but he was still a great general.

Who were the most kino of the presidents?
I feel like Lincoln was overrated as fuck
Jaxon Hernandez
Polk and Jackson, ofc.

There was a tv movie about Washington crossing the Potomac to attack the Hessians on Christmas. It was good.
Gavin Price
unironically Richard Nixon.
Ayden Collins
If done properly a biopic of Teddy Roosevelt would floor any other presidential figures.
Nixon is good just because of the context of his rise and fall in power.
Andrew Jackson is also kino as fuck for not giving two shits and killing plenty of people.
Also Trump is kino as fuck as well
Juan Bell
Harrison
Charles Torres
Trump and Obama

They have to keep up the cult of lincoln so normies dont realize that he literally started the war, prolonged it, made retarded choices that almost lost it, and arguably eas a fat bigger racist than any plantation owner. Lincoln was the closest we have ever gotten to a fascist dictator in this country.

Can you imagine society today if they had been sent back? I had read that it was being seriously considered, but for some reason they decided against it.
Jose Ortiz
>butthurt southerner can't get over losing.
By the way the South attacked first and it's hilarious you've convinced yourself the guy who wanted to end slavery was more racist the the slave owners who betrayed their country so they could keep it.
Dylan Moore
Kennedy
Both Roosevelts
Carson Cruz
Probably would be costly and a hassle to send them back in a single organized migration. Much like the founding fathers didn't make it explicit that the US should be kept white and only whites should be citizens because they thought it was just so common sense it didn't even make sense to explicitly state it; Lincoln probably thought they'd be kept segregated and gradually sent away, it wouldn't occur to him the madness that would happen a century later.
The people who fought against slavery were just as "racist", whatever that means.
Logan Wood
It was never 'seriously being considered.' It was always a kind of goofy pipedream solution to the race problem that was thrown around from time to time.
Blacks in America didn't want to "go back to Africa" since by 1860 the slave trade had been terminated for decades and almost all of the blacks in the country had been born & lived their entire lives here; they spoke english, worshiped Jesus, and had no real connection whatsoever to their "home land." The American Colonization Society was an organization that tried to pay blacks to send them to Africa and only a tiny minority of them signed up to go (the ones who went would end up becoming a slave-owning ruling caste in a totally artificial country you might know called Liberal whose capital is named after James Monroe).
Neither the Republicans or the Democrats really had the political will to actually try and round up all the blacks in America against their will and force them onto boats

No it wasn't, faggot. It might as well have been called "The 13th Amendment". It wasn't a story of Lincoln from frontier lawyer to President.

You're right, I don't think there has been a movie about Belisarius.

Jackson would be great because he was really good at wars, dueling and fighting irl. Just a shit ton of fight scene potential, which is all I'm interested in anyway.

Luis Davis
This was actually really good, especially for a TV movie. It’s not theatrical budget-wise, but the script is solid and Jeff Daniels is a believable Washington.
