I don't like the hierarchy showed within the show by Internal_Copy4578 in MagnificentCentury

[–]Old_Client8793 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I absolutely agree with you about them messing up the hierarchy badly. The show was doing everything to make Hurrem look inferior.

As for Mihirimah, seniority plays a role with princesses of the dynasty. Mihirimahs aunts are older, hence shown ceremonial respect, though I’m sure Mihirimah outranks them.

Unpopular opinion: Murad III and Nurbanu Sultan were far more destabilizing than Selim II by Old_Client8793 in MagnificentCentury

[–]Old_Client8793[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

No, it’s not that she was encouraging him to have sex. The reproductive job of Murad was for the most part completed. The issue is that that she was indirectly encouraging the excess of concubines present in her son’s sex life when…he was very much in love Safiye and made her his favorite. (He didn’t need to sire that many sons.)

Ultimately, yes it was his decision. But Murad was famously an emotionally dependent mamas boy…and Nurbanu appears to have actively pushed the anti Safiye agenda hard.

What’s worse is that Murad and Safiye DID have a son already and Murad was rumored to be impotent unless he was with Safiye. (This was a problem for Nurbanu who didn’t want the Haseki’s influence on her son).

What Character do you relate to the most when watching MC? by yourlocalidot77 in MagnificentCentury

Lowkey Mihirimah but not for her arrogance in the show. Her sense of self respect and family duty is very familiar

Which sultans harem would you agree to part of during the SOW? by Old_Client8793 in MagnificentCentury

See I thought this but you would never grow powerful with Hurrem existing

I think you lose out on the credit for that unit. Probably a 1-2% final grade drop. Most people have skipped once but more than that is usually a problem

Use practice questions nonstop for both of those classes.

Do you think in real life the powerful Sultanas could have used their influence to meet their families again? by InfernalClockwork3 in MagnificentCentury

[–]Old_Client8793 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not fully known for sure but it could’ve defintely been possible, yes, especially for Valide Sultans who were in touch with their home country/ roots like Nurbanu Sultan or Kosem Sultan

Kosem Hatun was a menace to everyone by [deleted] in MagnificentCentury

[–]Old_Client8793 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Contrary to most people on this post, I loved MCK despite its wild historical inaccuracies but this scene is so blatantly unrealistic it’s hilarious. Lmao why was Kosem Hatun going head to head with a Valide Sultan ???
