I saw a TikTok edit.... Do you think the character choices are historically accurate?

Not enough diversity. One of the characters should have been black.

Or trans

Not enough diversity. I hope Nolan makes a movie about the Ottomans.
ichbinsophia@reddit (OP)
They portray the Ottomans as completely Arab and say things like we rode camels and so on.
EnesAkhan@reddit
No no no. He will make Mehmed a twink nd turn Tepes into a woman nd turn one of the most famous rivalry into a fierce love story . Today's neccessities demand such diversity nd change to the whole history between the two đ

Is that jacksepticeye? đ Is the casting director the same that Nolan used?

Prens is a comedy show, you can google it. It takes place in a fantastic kingdom.

The island of Ada Kaleh, for instance, constituted its own autonomous sultanate starting in 4 May 1931.
Ali Kadri Bey Efendi was bestowed with the title: Sultan of Ada Kaleh.
This has nothing to do with the Ottomans.
From 1878 to 1918, Ada Kaleh Island, was occupied by Austria-Hungary. Subsequentlyâuntil 1923âit was a No mans land; however, in 1923, the Turkish island's inhabitants voted to join Romania. On May 4, 1931, they received a visit from the Romanian King Carol II; from that point until 1947, it remained an autonomous territoryâgoverned until 1945 by Ali Kadri Bey Efendi, He was the wealthiest man on the island; the cigar factory there belonged to him.
In 1945, heâalong with his immediate family, relatives and the island's eliteâfled to Turkey.

No, if you look the painting of Mehmed II, they should taken a Type with a long nose and more white skinned. Ottoman sultans didnt had the Look of rural turks. Look their mothers, century long allways balkan and caucasus mountains.
ichbinsophia@reddit (OP)
I heard that sultans especially wanted their noses drawn large. But you're right about what you're saying. I wish the sultans had married Turkish women.

I find it astonishingâno, actually, it doesn't surprise me at allâthat my comment is being downvoted; but who is in the right? Anyone can Google it; anyone can look up the portraits of the sultansâparticularly those of Fatih Sultan Mehmed Han and Suleiman the Magnificentâand, above all, take a look at the photographs of the sultans, or of the last Caliph, AbdĂŒlmecid II. None of the actors even remotely resemble them in terms of physical type. And yes, the sultans were fair-complexionedâwith the exception of AbdĂŒlhamid II, though even he possessed that large, aquiline nose. The "Ottoman Sultan's nose" was a trademark feature; even the princesses had it. So, why the downvotes?

Vlad wasn't at Mehmet's league in the first place
floare_salbatica@reddit
No, he was out of his league. đ
Canenald@reddit
Is that Turkyon LanisteroÄlu in one of the scenes?
euxenios-svartahaf@reddit
As a Turk, I can confirm that this is more realistic than Neo-Ottomanist propaganda TV shows in state television, lol.

Katılıyorum abi
No_Listen5664@reddit
Prens, or the prince, isn't really a tv series meant to be accurate. It is more comedy lol
Cefalopodul@reddit
The Prince is highly inaccurate when it comes to portraying Vlad.
FantasticQuartet@reddit
Yes. I was there in the 1500s and they looked just like that.
