Prince of India then?!

I’m a Per­sian myself, and here’s what I think about these concepts:

Pic1: Logo

Dark, brown. Sand, and darkness.

Per­sian ide­ol­ogy: Spread light and hap­pi­ness. The world is con­sist of a fight between good and bad, the light and the dark­ness. Sad­ness comes from evil and hap­pi­ness comes from the unique God, the Ahu­raa­maz­daa (Eng: the wise lord )

Using black and brown is %100 despite what Per­sian ide­ol­ogy, Per­sian cul­ture, Per­sian lit­er­a­ture, Per­sian peo­ple, and all the Per­sian things are say­ing through­out history.

Pic2: Boat and the Indian man

1st. %100 Indian clothes which has noth­ing to do with any kind of Per­sian clothings.

2nd. Dark skins. Persian’s eth­nic back­ground is Aryan race, ok noth­ing racist! no Hitler’s the­ory at all, no Nazi over here, ok?. Per­sians are white peo­ple migrat­ing around 5000 years from Sib­era in Rus­sia to the present Iran. Mix­ing with indige­nous peo­ple and many tribes who were migrat­ing along with the slik road; Per­sian are not a bit , JUST A BIT, less white than Euro­peans. That’s all!! no pale skin, no black. And again I’m not racist! just try­ing to make some facts as clear as possible.

Pic3: Sol­diers and building

%100 Indian stuff, with just some Sas­sanid Per­sian uni­forms. Only the first solider ( from right ) seems Per­sian, the other two are definitly non-Persian, as they didn’t grow a beard, which was a very impor­tant until some cen­turies ago, includ­ing the time when PoP story hap­pens. They all had curly beards, the longer beard they had, the higher level they belonged to could be rec­og­nized. Just as an exam­ple, Kings had the longest pos­si­ble beards; of course not like Bin Laden’s! a curly one with a lot of per­fume and some­times Hanaa ( a herbal mix­ture which makes hairs red and includes many vit­a­mins ) were used to make it more attractive.

Also, no scowl! as said before, sad­ness comes from evil. So, a Per­sian with scowl would be con­sid­ered as a bad one. This is also why many Greeks loathed Per­sians as they were happy all the time.

Pic4: Crowd and the buildings

Fic­tional archi­tec­ture. It’s really bet­ter to study Per­sian lit­er­a­ture, Per­sian archi­tec­ture, Per­sian rugs, and any Per­sian stuff around. There’s more joy in them which makes peo­ple watch your movie Really really no need to go that much fic­tional; not even nec­es­sary? is it? maybe Zack Sny­der is read­ing my com­ment ?

Ok bud­dies, hope­fully I’ll find a way through Dis­ney and pre­vent them from mak­ing another dis­as­trous movie like 300, Alexan­der, or even the Trans­form­ers ( They’ve renamed Per­sian Gulf. Called some sci­en­tists “too wise to be Iran­ian!” ! Thanks Michael Bay, good racist stuff, heil Lin­coln! what a world! )

Cheers,
Sassan

Hmm, Sas­san, you seem to know your stuff very well, i admire that, i wrote some­thing like what you wrote, acci­den­taly on the wrong page (click link to next page Name: GonnaKil­luifth­is­f­sup) i was just pissed, i will repost my post here:

“Man, oh man… I am really freaked out, about all of this. First off, why change the name Farah, to Tam­ina, Farah is a lot bet­ter. Sec­ondly Dont change the story, we all have come to know and love the story of the games, and if that gets taken away, peo­ple are just going to walk out of the movie the­atre, dis­s­a­pointed. And Please, this is my main prob­lem, Please DO NOT paint the actors black (brown etc.) Think­ing that is the orig­i­nal colour of per­sians, IT’s NOT! Orig­i­nal per­sian are of the Arian race, white, we are not black, and I am defi­natly not being racist to black peo­ple, I love all colour, races, cul­tures, but if u want to make a movie about PERISA, then get things right. If this all becomes a mess like the movie 300, I am going to be very upset, and mad, so some­one send this to Jerry Bruck­heimer, and tell him to read this 100 times: GET THE FACTS RIGHT, AND LEAVE THE STORY ALONE, JUST DO WHAT YOU DO BEST AND CREATE THE MOVIE, NOT YOUR OWN POP”

I did not back up my fact like you did, but all Per­sians know what were talk­ing about. I was mostly wor­ried about the colour of skin (NOT being racist). Sas­san, maybe if we put our heads together, some­way, some­how! we may be able to change many of the prob­lems, with what they have released so far. Im a HUGE fan of the Pop tril­ogy, and I do not want it to fall apart. It is NOT to late to do some­thing, if you are inter­ested, post your email, and I shall respond, if we try we may come up with and idea, to change many things. If not, and if your want to do this by your­self, I am fine with it, just please some­one out there send this to dis­ney, and pre­vent them, from mak­ing these mistakes…
