What is /his/ consensus about History Buffs?
I think it's generally a good chanell, however his Bravehearth review trigerred me. I know history was butchered on that movie, but it's actually a good and fun movie. On the other hand he says that 300 is great when it's really a fighting movie disguised has a an historic epic.
Oh, and his youtube intro is sick.
He is decent as far as youtube "historians" go. The topic of his videos (movies) don't require a phd in history.
He also changed Cleopatra from black to yellow-whiteish in his intro.
He is really fucking annoying. Still like his shit though.
Well he's a perfidious Albion so I don't like him, but his videos are okay. It is interesting to see how the movies adapted history.

> actually a good and fun movie
you can say that about most films that history autists throw shit fits overs

They don't understand that movies need villains and heroes, and history don't have villains and heroes, it allways depends on what perspective you look at them. So no wonder they need to make history characters worse than the devil or better than a saint to make the movie work.

yes, and braveheart really seems to get at SOME people
they just can't enjoy works of art
I watched Braveheart again recently and it was a lot dumber than I remembered from when I was a kid. I don't even care about the inaccuracies, it was really stupid even treating it like a pure fantasy movie.
It was awesome when I was 12 though.
