‘Wonder Woman 1984”s Egypt was a “disgrace”, says ‘Moon Knight’ director

Moon Knight director Mohamed Diab has called the depiction of Egypt in Wonder Woman 1984 “a disgrace”.The filmmaker, from Egypt himself, pointed to the scene in which Diana and Steve visit Cairo, and discussed his own take on ancient Egyptian mythology in the forthcoming Disney+ series.“In my pitch, there was a big part about Egypt, and how inauthentically it has been portrayed throughout Hollywood’s history,” he told SFX Magazine.“It’s always exotic – we call it orientalism.

New York Daily News outlining her history of anti-gay rhetoric, a spokesperson for the mayor announced he was rescinding the appointment, saying the administration had been unaware of Barrett-Layne’s past writings expressing anti-LGBTQ sentiments.As reported by the Daily News, in a 2013 book, Challenging Your Disappointments, Barrett-Layne placed same-sex relationships in the same category of “sin” as pedophilia and other crimes when discussing “temptations” facing Christian leaders and their followers.“Leaders struggle with the same temptations of drugs, alcohol, homosexuality, fornication, adultery, pedophilia, stealing, lying, envy, covetousness, and every other sin that the congregation struggle with,” she wrote. In that same book, Barrett-Layne raised concerns about the prevalence of homosexuality among incarcerated people, writing: “They live in the grip of fornicating homosexual lifestyles.”In another book from 2004, When Your Mess Becomes the Message, Barrett-Layne claimed her 3-year-old daughter told her “she was a boy” after being present for a counseling session Barrett-Layne gave to a lesbian woman. She wrote that she and her husband “began to militantly and violently pray for, with, and over our daughter.”“We prayed against every spirit that was not of God, including the spirit of homosexuality,” she wrote.
