As always I am so glad I don't give a damn about a good many things: GTA, collecting Pokemon cards, historical accuracy in movies etc.
Idk man I'm not white washing history. Inglorious bastards gas lit me. I had to look up how hitler actually died just to double check.
It would be nice to have this occasionally.
At a minimum we need some indication for when they diverge from history. To many people rely on movies for their historical knowledge.
Yes! Entirely too many movies dwell in historic facts or likeliness (e.g. two characters small talking about the big ball game- not a documented event but entirely plausible) to ground themselves then go into fantasy/ax to grind land without warning. A cyborg raptor with lasers on it's head should pop up in the corner to let the audience know we're in fantasy land.
Monkeys paw curls. History is changed to accurately reflect films.
It's why Nazis have taken control of the US.
Given that the victors wrote the history, for the most part, what is truly accurate when you are talking about events prior to video/audio recordings?
Yeah it's a nice touch, plus it has the benefit of not warping shitloads of peoples concept of history and reality as severely as we see with popular media that does throw all historical accuracy out the window.
What about zoological accuracy in Pokemon?
