It’s actually way better

Afrocentric cultural appropriation. How would you even determine that fact for this character, when you’ve also acknowledged that black Egyptians did exist. Like I agree that African Americans have no correlation to Egypt as a result of most slave ships being among the West coast of Africa. But Egypt has always had people in it, that many would consider black. (Partly due to Egypt’s location and the surrounding regions, Nubia especially, which had a complex relationship with Egypt for several hundred years. I mention this only because this isnt really me trying to debate you. Were actually in agreement. But I just think it’s weird to call out Afrocentrism for a character that is a Black Egyptian because there isn’t really anything we can do or say to prove her inclusion being a result of Afrocentrism. And acknowledging that there were black Egyptians makes that classification even harder to actually determine. That said, this isn’t really meant to be a counterpoint. So I’m not trying to argue lol. I hope you have an enjoyable day. I understand how annoying cultural appropriation can be.

@@BlazeWolf9511 that's what I'm saying we don't know if it's a simple demonstration of the Egyptian natives diversity or an afrocentric appropriation by Hollywood like cleopatra as an attempt at virtue signaling the African American community

Ok, i will soon👍🏻

He’s serpentine, cunning, intelligent, and starts as an antagonist then helps the protagonist. They have a lot in common.

It's the demeanor

idk

In the myths themselves it is said that Sejmet enjoyed drinking blood, he fits perfectly with a vampire, they used Quetzalcoatl only for his popularity, but there are a good handful of Aztec/Mayan gods that would have fit better

all very true. The show has pretty solid writing overall, but there does seem to be a lot of plot armour when it comes to the other vampires not picking up on Orlox's treachery. He says "You want to acomplish this through an alliance with a man who doesn't worship you?", constantly needs pushing to bow to Erzebet, prefers to literally eat the rich and powerful rather than the common man (unlike the other posh vampires), has no problems forming romantic attachments to humans and let a BELMONT child live when any other vampire would have killed the kid alongside his mother! All the signs of him being potentially traitorous and self serving are right there but the other vampires just don't pick up on it or don't act on it whatsoever.

@@Toonwalla2010 I'll give the series its credit for writing Olrox well but not the blocking out of the sun as it was ruled a bad idea in the first series because humans need the sun. Which is true, without the sun we get some nasty ass anemia(speaking from personal experience) along with other various health complications. It won't affect them if its short-term, but long-term, that's going to be bad. Eventually Humanity would just die out.

Olrox, in his other form 'The Winged Green Serpent’ resembles a deity in Aztec culture (a civilization that existed in Mexico from the 14th to the 16th century). This deity is known as Quetzalcoatl, revered in their culture as the god of wisdom and knowledge, as well as the god of winds and weather. Given Olrox's Mexican nationality, it is possible that he could be a vampire and the deity Quetzalcoatl at the same time.

Ikr He was amazing, I couldn’t just leave it out😫

You absolutely hallucinate it, he always wears this purple suit.

Wouldn't be the first time@@Amal-mc1ey

He parallels Dracula in a few ways too. They're both vampires who fell in love with humans. Dracula never turned Lisa into a vampire out of respect for her decision to not become one. While Olrox turned his lover into a vampire so they could be together forever and it being implied his lover didn't fully consent to becoming a vampire. Dracula went mad and depressed after Lisa's death deciding the human race needs to be wiped out including the innocent and children who had nothing to do with Lisa's death even though this will mean he and the other vampires will die from starvation too as he just wanted to die and take the rest of the world with him. Olrox just tracks down the one responsible for killing his lover, gets his revenge, but still continues to carry on existing and spares young Richter as he was just a child and out of so Richter can grow strong and have a fair fight in the future. Also both Dracula and Olrox get criticised for their decisions in regards to their lovers and it plays a part in the deaths of their lovers. Carmilla flat out questioned why Dracula never turned Lisa as she may have had more of a chance of protecting herself if she was vampire (and Carmilla was doing it to trigger Dracula). Mizrak calls Olrox out on turning his lover without consent made him a target for Julia.

Olrox is very lonely.

Bro was just grieving and wanted a hunky bf but then got roped with crazy vampire cat lady
