The fact that this is just the normal shorthand for being in a country outside of North America and Europe is just so wild to me

North America excluding Mexico *

@616rachelsummer !!! Okay, I thought it was only me.

@616rachelsummer @TheQueerMagneto My money is on Kahndaq, Black Adam’s country which is totally not a fictional mishmash of Kuwait and Egypt on the Sinai.

@616rachelsummer THANK YOU! thats the thing that has been nagging at my mind

@616rachelsummer Kahndaq—Black Adam's homeland, a fictional desert city which is even more yellow in the comics (which ig is part of the problem too really)

@616rachelsummer Cant we just let colors pop in superhero films? Its not like they're suppose to be fun and playful or something :T

@616rachelsummer Zero vision WB crap. I'm so tired of this.

@616rachelsummer probably because it is a desert ? Where there is sun, sand and most of the architecture of Kahndaq is based in Egypt

@616rachelsummer So tired of yellow filters

@616rachelsummer Black Adam was slave from the fictional country of Khandaq, which is located on the Sinai Peninsula. The country is culturally similar to Egypt. Also, I hate that screen language for middle east is yellow filter.

@616rachelsummer @BlackAndSuper & u know it will b left in ruins after a battle 🤦🏾‍♀️

@616rachelsummer Yellow can often be used to indicate heat, just as blue is used for cold. It's just a visual cue to avoid having characters walking around going "gosh, it's hot."

@616rachelsummer Well... Black Adam, Prince Khufu the Original Hawkman, Chay-Ara the Original Hawkgirl and Nabu the Original Doctor Fate all have Ancient Egyptian roots and all knew each other.

@616rachelsummer We're talking about a filter being racist now? A filter? Y'all are bitching about a filter? Lord in heaven 🙄🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

@616rachelsummer Probably wherever Khandaq is supposed to be, my guess Egypt or Bialya

@616rachelsummer I think black Adam lives in a fictional not Egypt country that's pretty sepia tone

@616rachelsummer Kahndaq is in Egypt, Egypt is sunny. Colors in movies can be used to convey a ranges of emotions and different feelings. In this case yellow conveys sunny and hot. It is an exaggeration to make the movie look better and more visually interesting. Not hard to understand.
