Oh, great, another Jason Momoa joint. 🙄 This time he’s not just grunting and looking pretty; he’s writing, producing, AND starring in Apple TV+’s new historical drama, Chief of War. Because apparently, one Momoa isn’t enough, we need ALL the Momoas! This series is about the unification of the Hawaiian islands, because, you know, Momoa is practically Hawaiian royalty at this point. 👑
Apple TV+, desperate for content that isn’t just rich people crying in mansions, is bringing us Chief of War. The trailer is out, and it features Jason Momoa doing what he does best: looking intense and embodying… something. 🤔 In this case, he’s “the uniter.” I guess Aquaman was too busy talking to fish to unite anyone. 🐠
Chief of War is described as a “passion project” from Momoa and Thomas Pa’a Sibbett. A “passion project,” huh? Sounds like a vanity project to me! 😂 Momoa plays Ka’iana, a Native Hawaiian warrior who dispenses justice as “the fist of the people.” Oh, please. It’s set in the late 18th century and is “loosely based on a true story.” Loosely? I bet they took more liberties than a horny sailor on shore leave. ⚓️
But wait, there’s more! Apparently, Momoa’s been uniting people in other ways too. He was spotted moshing at a Pantera concert. Because what’s more unifying than a bunch of sweaty dudes slamming into each other? 🤘 Guess he’s method acting for his role as a uniter of people, both historically and in mosh pits. 🤣
The series also stars a bunch of other Polynesian actors, which is nice, I guess. But let’s be real, everyone’s just gonna be watching Momoa. He even said it’s “a story rooted in my home, my culture, and my heart” in an Instagram post. Translation: “This is all about me, me, ME!” 🤳
So, mark your calendars, folks! Chief of War premieres on Apple TV+ on August 1. Get ready for some historical inaccuracies, gratuitous shirtless scenes, and Jason Momoa being Jason Momoa. 🍿 Don’t say I didn’t warn you. 😈
