>Wikipedia says the Mayans peaked 400 years ago before Cortez >that must mean there weren’t any Mayans around to meet Cortez >even though there were still Mayans around who in fact met Cortez
Hey moron, look up the Spanish Empire on wikipedia. Spain peaked 400 years ago, right? So you must think there aren’t any Spanish people alive today in 2024, right?
The Aztecs were further north, around Mexico City. The Mayans were in on the southern Caribbean coast, around Cancun. First Cortez and his group landed on the Yucatán peninsula and met Mayans, then they went further north and met Aztecs. The people who bring up Aztecs in regards to Apocalypto are morons who’ve never read a book. Apocalypto is a movie about Mayans.
because he doesn't actually know anything about history. there is only one historical inaccuracy in the film, namely the wall reliefs the MC sees while he is brought to his execution.
>it got me interested
at face value it's cool, but really it's just more violent peole who made some megaliths
once you been to one sacrifice you've been to them all mate
In reality it’s the Mississippi Mound-Builders, since they had the largest cities and probably the largest trade network, and the most advanced metalworking.
>time traveling spaniards show up out of nowhere
Hollywood doesn't know history but we all know CHUDS got a boner when they saw this scene. So it worked
You’re a moron and you’ve never read a book.
Shut up whiny b***h
frick off mel with your fantasy bullshit
It's not really time travel when the third world is occupied by eternal stone-aged savages and advanced Europeans come exploring
If anyone wants to watch some american native kino with missionaries, Black Robe was interesting

well where the frick were the Aztecs then
The Aztecs were further north, around Mexico City. The Mayans were in on the southern Caribbean coast, around Cancun.

The people who bring up Aztecs in regards to Apocalypto are morons who’ve never read a book. Apocalypto is a movie about Mayans.
yooooooooooooooooooo
if he had released it before the meltdown, it would be highly regarded
It’s still highly regarded by anyone who isn’t an NPC. Robert Duvall said Apocalypto was the best movie he’d seen in 20 years.
Where's the beyblade tho?
>highly regarded
homie even Spike Lee liked it.
Scorsese, Spike Lee, Tarantula loved it. Lee even said it should be obligatory to watch in every school
Why did History Buff hate it so much?
because he doesn't actually know anything about history. there is only one historical inaccuracy in the film, namely the wall reliefs the MC sees while he is brought to his execution.
>mfw I try to tell a girl I like her
pornographically violent film, I don't respect people who goon it to gore
>he goons to respectable things, unlike the unwashed riff-raff
it's not gooning though. violence is fun and exciting.
how else are you supposed to depict true historical events which were brutal and violent? pretend they were all sunshine and rainbows?
>Hollywood big budget movies totally don't exaggerate sex and violence
And the best time to do it is when showing humanities past
meanwhile you will eat the pornographically violent film, Japan
100% certified kino. Made me proud of my Spanish heritage
What about your amerindian heritage?
Literally me i started reading into Mayans
>it got me interested
at face value it's cool, but really it's just more violent peole who made some megaliths
once you been to one sacrifice you've been to them all mate
mayans and aztecs were gay af
real men know the inca were the greatest race in the pre-columbian americas
In reality it’s the Mississippi Mound-Builders, since they had the largest cities and probably the largest trade network, and the most advanced metalworking.
moron.
Even Mel wouldn't have been able to show what the Aztecs did. Skull towers. Flaying children. Mayans were probably tame compared to them.
>the spaniards represent jesus second coming
does that mean jaguar paw is actually running away from jesus, to return to the forest of paganism?
The movie literally begins with "A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself within"
