I always found Stygia one of the more egregious offenders since not only is it an Egypt of white people - something not that uncommon even today for Hollywood and pop culture - but an Egypt ruled by white people with an explicit underclass of black and brown peasants. there's one about a dude in like 1880s southern africa with a scheming witch doctor who can turn into a hyaena as the villain and it's about what you'd expect, the witch doctor is clearly reacting against encroachment by white settlers but is portrayed as a purely bad guy menacing the white woman in the story.

bloom posted:I wonder how they're planning to turn a bunch of short stories into a coherent series. A few of the longer ones could be stretched to a full season each I guess, but there's very little connecting them. i wonder how these episodic short stories could ever be adapted into a series for television, a format known for its episodic structure. that's a tricky one
