I'm not commenting on the black people, but it's honestly always such a bullshit take to say that something like lack of consistency in a movie cannot be ruined because it has supernatural elements. Like the actor complaining that people asked him why he didn't lose weight after walking for months, and he points to the dragons. Yes! There are dragons! They are part of Game of Thrones! A guy should still lose weight if he walks for months on a sparse diet! (Also not commenting on having immersion ruined because overweight dude remains overweight, only on the argument)

Because the 530i is now a 4 cylinder. You now need to go to at least the 540i.

At least for diesels, 530 remains an inline 6. How am I going to destroy The Ring with a puny 4 cyl?

Woah Woah Woah, I can accept a BMW 5 Series 530i, but diesel fuel? Obviously the only fuel source in Middle Earth would be gasoline, and nothing else would be tolerated. Specifically leaded gasoline, because a dwarf wouldn't accept engine knock. In this four part essay, I intend to......

And in this story specifically, the cyclops is a main story point.

Someone might describe the story as "It's about a guy who gets lost and fights a cyclops". If someone describes it as "It's about a guy who gets lost and fights a black person", I wouldn't know what they're talking about.

I don't care if there's black people in historical dramas, but the person responding in the image probably feels like they did such a sick burn, while what they really did was utterly fail logical thinking.
