Part 2/8:
When Netflix first released trailers for Queen Cleopatra, they faced immediate criticism. The promotional material was heavily criticized for its portrayal choices, especially the decision to depict Cleopatra as Black—a stance that many saw as a "race swap" that ignored the historical Egyptian context. The comments section was quickly shut down due to the flood of negative feedback, with viewers criticizing the apparent rewriting of history and mocking the series’ premise.
