why would anyone want to fuck up fun for facts.
I don't understand either, that's why I asked Christo, and got a shitpost response.
You could watch pretty much any movie about anything ever made and find hundreds of things that aren't congruent with our living reality.. but you are watching a movie. It makes no sense. You can say this about anything that takes place anywhere about anything else, ever. Even film or photo of the real event, because of intrinsic bias in composition and perspective and so on.
Imagine reading a book and for 500 pages working yourself up in a frothing rage at "Historical Inaccuracies" of some sweeping romantic historical epic/drama with multiple character POVs from different cultures expressing overarching themes about the current day using an understandable historic setting as the template to tell a story. Could someone keep turning the pages, engaging with the book as an affront to their sense of intellectualism, or more accurately, youtube/wikipedia "fact-checking?" THIS ISN't HOW IT REALLY HAPPENED. *flip page with greasy fingers* WOW IT GETS WORSE EVERY PAGE *hours later* HEH.. no wonder Americans are so ignorant.. they think this is how it really was.. know nothing of martial history..*logs into cRPG for 10 hours of nonstop gaming, ignoring hygiene*
You could go to the Met, or I guess for you EUs, the shit-tier Louvre, and stand in front of a Picasso painting while chomping on a pastry and spitting up phlegm and crumbs on the canvas, rambling to no one in particular how those brush strokes of a historical event "totally fail lol, wut u cant see y this is shit, its a HISTORICAL painting.. get less ignorant.." and then stopping right there at your thought process because it wasn't a 1 to 1 recreation of what some historian said he thinks sounds good 200 years ago and now everyone accepts as fact because duh, that's what Truth is.
You know Braveheart, whether you like it or not, is the same crap. Yeah you can see tons of Mel Gibson's political/historical bias and revisionism bleed through, using historical figures to forge a modern "epic" characterization of our ideals in freedom or patriotism, using cinematic language as shorthand to gloss over compex characters, so on and so forth, and finding mass appeal in order to become a commercial success. Well no fucking shit, it did everything Mel Gibson and his crew wanted it to do, and was a resounding success, and he prob gives no shits about Scottish independence, because he's a drunken anti-semite Australian-American millionare.
It wasn't a history movie. It was a historical epic. But u know, only noobs like the Iliad, watch this neckbearded youtuber 'destroy' Homer in 3 hours of him wheezing into the microphone about the inaccuracies of Trojan military tactics, making anyone who thinks the Iliad/Odyssey supposedly means anything outside of the OBVIOUS intention of academic dry military history, an idiot.
Unless Christo, you can tell me what makes the Iliad different from Ironclad, and either of those, different from cRPG? Cuz I'd love 2 learn.
