They enslaved and murdered hundreds of thousands from other tribes and sold them into the slave trade.

rhetorical question, right?

I doubt it, as slavery and kidnapping is still prevalent in most African Countries.

We're not supposed to mention that.

It will be revisionist just like the farcical rewrite of slaver Cristobal Colombo

You know they wont. Its woke Hollywood. They will probably claim that it was evil whites that enslaved blacks and that tribe were fighting those whites to free fellow blacks )))) Despite that tribe working with white slave traders and catching and selling their own people for money.

It might not be a puff piece. It does address Dahomey involvement with the African slave trade.

Being part of the Agojie promises freedom to all involved, but not to those they conquer. The defeated are offered as tribute to the draconian Oyo Empire, who then deal their fellow Africans as slaves to Europeans in exchange for guns.

a) find a black female figure in the past

b) obfuscate the facts, reinvent her

c) present her as a superior hero

This is the recipe for such a figure because this is what is necessary to produce it.
