Marco Polo on Netflix

Lol you're breaking shit down in here for sure.

Yep. His own father gave him up to be a slave and seemed to be shocked when he came back to find him alive lol.

I'll admit my own inferiority complex of being mad when I saw them teaching him to fight and I got mad when he started to win but you're right. Whatever it he knew, they taught him. He only succeeded when he excepted their superior lessons lol.

I'm still watching it and I can't tune in til I get back home off this trip. Should've brought my laptop

Marco walking on some fucking eggshells out there. Ultimately, the title character is just another foreign piece that the Khan is using to his advantage. And Polo only spares his family because an Asian tells him it's the wise thing to do(he wanted to kill his fam for selling him out).

It's just amusing when you swap races of the characters. It shows how people are so easily dictated in their views.

Exactly. It's easy to see how people think.

It's also easy to see how these thoughts have led to our position. Cats are doubling down on a hippie position that was created in the 20th century by 'scholars' who cherry pick information and will even go so far as to hijack native American culture(Olmecs).

BGOL cats dining on beanpie need to watch this show over and over again to get how the world works. The meaning of strategy....Mongols(Asians) still eventually fell, but China(Asians) is damn near a super power today.

Where that Asian unity at? :confused:

Just pissed me off that cats miss the Mongol vs Chinese shit all through this show for some beanpie.... :angry: "look at the white man' shit....

Seriously, just from the discussions I've had on this board over the years I've grown and expanded on my views. I appreciate even the cats i debate with cuz it's allowed me to see things I might have said before and question my own view points and check my own hypocrisy.

You and I see eye to eye on this. There's an inferiority complex that sets in that won't allow some people to see anything but victimhood in anything. The truth about a group of people's history is not a story book that plays out all neat and clean.
 
But.... But.... he gave them the catapult idea ! They never could have won without his superior brain and strategy
shit they needed to give that cac somthing to do shit he was the weakest link of the show. jidoa finished him with one move.evn the prince who got bitch ways was a G in battle
Did you peep the scene when he fought ole boy with the Praying Mantis style?

SHIT WAS FIRE!!!!!!!!

hunnid aye was the shit best character next too kublai.
 
I just finish watchin season 1 of this show and i must say it was pretty good!!..:yes::yes:...the blind shaolin monk is the truth!!..dude is nice!!...lookin forward to see season 2..it going to get deep!!..
 
Getting through the rest of these now. Great stuff. Gene, the way you get around people getting in their feelings about black on black crime is similar to how they did it here. Plenty of distractions. Sex scenes, martial arts... Action.

I wish it were that easy. Asians are a little more honest and accepting of history. They don't pretend to be hippies who all got along before the 'barbarians'(white man) came. Shit, you have cats talking shit about this production and it isn't even dealing with African society.

A sex scene with a white merchant and an African women in one of the kingdoms..... the Internet would melt with all the 'knowledge' being dropped. :lol:

First time I watched it, I was multitasking while doing code. So I have it streaming once again in the background catching shit I missed first time around. Great show.

I initially missed the part of how the sister did the chancelor(sp) dirty when they were children. Fuck your festival. :lol:

Watch. But I guess if you already decided it would fail then white men have one less job to do lol
 
Fuck the critics

Can't wait until season two

I liked Sidao better than Kublai

Gained some respect for Jingim in battle

Byamba was my favorite character
 
Very good show. It's not about Marco Polo, it's about everyone else he just happens to witness all the shit going down.

He put his arm back together in the middle of a fight..he knew he lost at that point.

Too many things to hit on since it's all 10 episodes but it was really well done and looking forward to season 2.

I have no idea how Ahmed has that painting in his crib like nobody will ever see it between now and whenever his master plan is executed..

and i hope he killed the artist who drew it for him. he did a good job though, like watching it start off as nothing and then progress all the way to the final shot

Yea Bymaba was probably mine too. I can't wait to see how him and his wife are living when the series resumes....I think she really does love him and isn't just doing it for position in the court
 
I wonder why the empress lied for Kokachin. She didn't want to be wrong, or she sees herself in her?

I wonder what's up with Kaidu, dude doesn't give a fuck. You're just a cousin.

Marco Polo has the least interesting storyline on the show

I have no idea how Ahmed has that painting in his crib like nobody will ever see it between now and whenever his master plan is executed..

I was wondering why he as lying to the empress about how well she was and what she was saying.

I guess he does have a thing for whores, and he is impressed about her heart and fighting.

Dude sees how weak Jingim is.

Empress probably knows what she did and would do the same in her situation so lying for her is the only way to really protect her. Plus it's a win because they have that royal claim to where she's from in title.

Kaidu was just tired of dying. it's always his men that have led the charge but not himself leading them and they kept getting their asses kicked. like he said, if he put them in the khan's hands 1 more time and they got their ass whooped 1 more time they'd leave him. he had no reason to trust the shit would work this time when they got destroyed the other 2

Ahmed is going to be found out.

Like i was telling my friend last night, this shit ain't about Marco Polo that's just the name they used to get whites to watch it. This is about the Khan and the dynasties
 
Yeah, I'm less interested in wide eyes than I am any major character in the show.

Kaidu was shitting on Kublai's son like it was nothing.

I wonder what becomes of the young emperor

Cause everybody knows his son ain't shit. He spent more time being jealous of Marco than reaffirming his place in the kingdom. He got 3 wives and no kids? Dude got ALL of his hair he ain't got the shang tsung mr t style going on plus they see him as Chinese cause he knows the customs and shit.


Young boy is just going to be on the run for a long time. we probably won't see him next season unless they fast forward like 5 year or something cause he ain't old enough to even be a real rallying point if there was an uprising.

Yeah. Son kinda weak. Even got that bitchmade look about him. I don't know if that was a conscious choice in casting. He'll surprise me if he does anything incredible.

History already shows that it all goes downhill during and after kublai anyway.
 
I just watched the whole season the past 2 days. It's addictive and I can't wait for the next season!

he's his mother's child.

hunnid ayes real:lol::lol::lol:


:lol:@ahmed
 
I saw a critic say this series was slow

I was like are these motherfuckers watching the same series as me

Martial arts choreography in this is fire....and hundred eyes vs the cricket minister is an absolute joy


Yooo when he did that shit and healed himself...then switched to Cricket (Mantis) style I was like :eek:

yea when he fixed his arm i almost cut that shit off :lol:

not cause it was bullshit but because it was just like.. ok this is clearly the greatest fighter that's ever lived

if you peep what happened in that sequence it makes it even more incredible.. on the surface it looks like ok he got hurt then switched it up

but what really happened is the cricket minister hit a pressure point and caused the damage...remember he cannot see what the guy is doing but once he got hit with that specific move he knew what style his opponent was fighting in and countered by fighting in his own style.. peep how right after it and cricket rushed after about 3 moves they locked hands in the same position cause hundred eyes knew what was coming.
he even ended him by executing the same pressure point move cricket used on marco..

illest dude alive

Sadao thought he was the only one who was up on Mantis....Hundred Eyes went old school on his ass...PRAYING MANTIS


If you remember the flick "Fist of the White Lotus" there was a section all about pressure points in I Ching. I assumed that was he was doing when he fixed his arm and shoulder
