they should make a movie or something about like a samurai or ancient chinese warrior that ends up in like Rome or ancient britian or something and saves the land.

watching the Keanu Reeves movie 47 Ronin and got this idea. why are there like a billion stories about white guys going to exotic lands and becoming heroes, but they never have people go to white lands to rescue the white people? imagine if a samurai fought alongside King Arthur or something like that. or maybe in Julius Caesar's army

Wasn't there some kind of movie/book with an Arab warrior going to help Vikings? Like 13th warrior or something like that?

Still that's the only one I can think of off the top of my head.

We can't even have a black person be the hero in a movie about space wizards fighting space nazis without people losing their shit, and now you want to put a brother in King Arthur's court?

Why not skip humans altogether. Have a movie about a bird who comes to human society and saves it.

The 13th Warrior was the movie, based on the book Eaters of the Dead by Michael Chrichton iirc.
