Although officially the last witch trial that resulted in execution was in 1682, at Bideford, but Mary Hicks, along with her daughter Elizabeth, was executed in 1716. So yes, witch finders would have seriously investigated a woman with superhuman abilities, even if they didn't charge and execute her.
What’s bizarre about witch trials is that if a person actually was a witch (or had some other super human ability) they could fight all the people arresting them and come out on top - or turn them all into frogs or something. Or vanish. So only truly innocent people were ever convicted of witchcraft - women yes but sometimes men too, even children sometimes 😢 But somehow the people conducting the trials were too stupid to be able to recognise this! Like, they believe witches could turn into animals for example. WELL THE PERSON WOULD HAVE TURNED INTO A MOUSE AND ESCAPED ALREADY THEN, DUH
That's why I have Netflix, they mostly have old movies and television shows (over 20 years old). I watch the new stuff occasionally.... very occasionally...

Hey, don't even put this blame on America as a whole. This is solely the purview of the massive coastal cities and their dual-citizenship masters in DC.

Hollywood folks have to justify the villians because they themselves are the villians. They have to normalize their own evil to fight off their guilty feelings.
@TheGraemi Exactly! Villian backstories could be a very well done and interesting trope if they portrayed it more like a cautionary tale versus just justification for evil.
Something that confuses me about these shows which give old timey Europe the population diversity of modern New York is that they seem squarely foccused on Northern Europe. There's actually quite a bit of diversity in Southern Europe and Northern Africa around these time periods due to the Muslim invasions and complete rule of the Iberian peninsula up until the Reconquista. If they wanted black and Middle Eastern people in their medieval Europe shows they could just set them in Italy, the Balkans, the Iberian Peninsula, Morroco, Algeria, or the entirety of Spanish conquered America, which also gives them a reason to add native americans and mixed race people. Why ignore such a massive chunk of history in favor of altering the Northern European countries' history
Because it isn't about accuracy, it is about erasure. It is bought and paid for anti-whiteism. Same reason they make famous English queens black as coal.
Also there were no blacks in southern Europe, and North Africa was already middle eastern white. Spain was Spanish, France was French and so on. If they really wanted to tell black stories they would have to learn Zulu or Ethiopian history. That would require effort. On the other hand using the British history they kinda sorta know by osmosis is convenient
For the same reason they make historical English queens black. It's revisionist history and anti-European. They don't want to show the truth, they want to rewrite it.
To be fair, history textbooks tend to always look at the past on a patronizing way and making fun to it as "they where so primitive", but yeah, I can't avoid cringing at all this insulting, revisionist and inaccurate bullshit. Still, there are some separate gems so an then. Ironically, Disney is responsible for this disgusting crap, and at the same time of Shogun, which is actually pretty good. Just watch the good, avoid the stupid stuff.
That's been bugging me. You can't have your cake and eat it too, Disney! If olden times were so darn perfect, your ideal sociopolitical haven in fact, then what's all this whining about?
@@kaykutcher2103 I like that it's always excused with statements like "this is isn't for you stop being an incel and complaining about it" but we can't have males portrayed as hyper competent in modern Hollywood movies or shows without a woman coming in and being either better or commenting on misogyny. James bond movies used to be sexist 100% and we don't make movies like that anymore because it's cringe, how is it not cringe when women do it now as well?
@jaycollins2036 We don't really need "Males being hyper competent" in media, we just need media to make characters that feel like real people rather than walking PC statements. Women should be just AS good as men and vice versa. We need challenge and struggle, not this "Woman/Man defies all odds because they're God and everyone loves them so much we must dedicate 2 hours to showing off how great in comparison they are to everyone else". I've read fanfiction with more respect to its supporting cast than Disney has written in years. It's about time we bring back quality writing rather then writing power fantasies for specific audiences
Not Disney, but the one that amused me was Enola Holmes. There were tons of diverse extras in Victorian London and even a karate dojo run by a black woman, but Henry Cavil’s character was still lectured about how society was set up exclusively for people like him. Meanwhile, the actual Arthur Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes story that most dealt with racial issues, while quite forward-thinking for its time, would be considered _very_ offensive by today’s standard.
Strange, that diversity is only needed, when it comes to European/western stories. And congrats, when a TH-camr does better historical research, than the whole overpaid staff of a Disney show. The downfall of Hollywood is truely remarkable.
I want someone to make a proper historically accurate movie about the war of the Spanish succession and have Famous French, British, German, Austrian, Spanish, generals
Conservatives surrendered the arts to progressives. Progressives got incestuous, first in teaching their own, then in gatekeeping the industry. From then on, they spread from the colleges to the studios, and the rest is history. You have to remember that all their skill, all their experience as artists and writers, is now fundamentally based on "progressive politics good, everything old bad." All history, all morals or philosophy, all operations or management or skill, it's all from the cis-white-fascist culture of bigotry, and therefore literally anything they do to destroy it _ipso facto_ justifies itself. And, yes, that means you even get batshit takes like "stealing from people is actually good sometimes" and "kidnapping children isn't as bad as threatening people," because ideas like capitalist property rights and traditional families are anathema to these psychopathic monsters.
Also this show: "yes, she has powers... which she heavily relies on to resolve conflicts and it all comes from a male character. This is not sexist writing at all." Seriously though, it's really not surprising to know that Disney writers went down this route. Lest we forget the Mulan remake where Mulan is born with the forc- I mean Ki and that is the only way for her to resolve conflicts rather than using wit and training to overcome her challenges like in the original.
There aren't enough people of color in wheelchairs represented in this 17th century show. And we need more diverse people in the background of every shot. Thanks.

something tells me that in the actual time period the father would have gotten up, walked around that table, smacked his son so hard across the face hed take off his makeup and inform him that if he wished not to be thrown out to join the peasants hed show the proper respect and clean up his act, something Hollywood seems to forget in these "Historical settings" is that people didnt always act as cartoonishly as they do today, or at least as cartoonishly as these writers seem to think they do
Same. They would butcher my main character, turn her into a girlboss, and completely ruin the story for a "modern audience." As I0sts0ul89 said, I would want 100% direction/control. It's one of the main reasons I self publish.
I’m so sick of the virtue signaling and clear cultural appropriation under the guise of equity and inclusion - to use Hollywoods words against them. If you’re going to give me girl power in the name of historical representation then give me Joan of Arc.
But don't you know she's French? Hollywood can't allow French figures to be depicted in a dignified and accurate light because France bad, just look at Ridley Scott's Napoleon.
'Dumb' at the time would have been a synonym for deaf-mute, I believe; she would *not* have asked someone she was just having a conversation with, if they were dumb - someone who encountered a person that continually interacted without speaking, might ask another if the person in question was 'dumb'- _that_ I could understand. They want to change the meaning of words/ condemn words as 'bad' -- they're just so ignorant, & they want to spread that ignorance & lack of understanding- in order to make themselves feel less so....
@silverscorpio24 that's just what I was thinking, that "daft" would've fit so much better there, than _"dumb",_ like she's some elementary school brat who just learned a new "bad" word she can insult people with.
The trouble is, that if the characters (especially the lower class ones) spoke in authentic language of the time (which you can find in books/newspapers of the period), a modern audience would struggle to understand them, because so many words have changed meaning or are no longer used at all, although it grates on me too when characters in a historical setting use modern-sounding language.
@dexine4723 Well, like the person above said, they could've used the word "daft," and it'd hold a better, more historically accurate meaning. In fact, I was expecting her to say "daft," and was surprised and rather baffled when she said "dumb," because that's _not_ the word she would've used in those times. They don't need to sound unintelligible to sound accurate, they just need to use words _somewhat_ correctly for the time, and they couldn't even do that. OP is correct, using the word "dumb" like it meant what it means today, when it didn't, was a stupid and ignorant move. And you could say it's just a small detail, but I think even a small detail like that, speaks to just how little they actually cared when making this, that they couldn't even be bothered to use language correctly for the time to make it feel even a little bit immersive.
9:40 For an infinitely better approach to the subject of women joining the army in the olden days, may I suggest Terry Pratchett's 'The Monstrous Regiment'? And it takes place in Discworld, not real England, so you can indulge in enjoying the fantasy plot without actual history getting in the way. Then again, it goes without saying that Mr Pratchett had a much better knowledge of history and story-telling than the whole of Disney's writing staff put together.
The only thing I can add to that is it's Sir Prachett. The man was knighted, even personally did most of the work in making his own sword within a year of being knighted on the basis of "Well, obviously a knight should have a sword". Then he felt it a good idea to hide it because of the state Britain's in, even back in 2010. "It annoys me that knights aren't allowed to carry their swords," he said. "That would be knife crime."
Or, look up the real life stories of women who joined the army/navy in the seventeen hundreds and genuinely did go to war. There weren't many, but they did exist, and there were probably more than we know about, because many would have kept their identities successfully hidden. Hannah Snell is one famous British example, and disguised herself as a man for many years, but there were examples from all across Europe.
No, they’re not evil because of bad reviews, they’re evil because they can’t get their dream jobs due to being shit at it. So clearly, their only other option was to become hardened criminals. Yeah, I don’t think the bad reviews were the only reason no theatre would take them in.
This is a cultural phenomenon. The story-telling is simple yet engaging, taking us on an incredible adventure at a rapid pace. The characters are well defined and the viewer is left satisfied yet wanting more to come. A Masterpiece. Well, that's enough about Disney's original "Snow White". I bet Barry Norman is spinning in his grave over Disney's latest dollop of tripe
The history buff in me was screaming the entire time I watched this... Yeah, I am not very likely to go watch this. Some historical inaccuracies to make a historical show more interesting is fine but here, they just should have changed England to some fantasy name and skipped any pretending this have anything at all to do with history at all. Now, I don't think a show about highwayman (highwaywoman?) with super powers is a bad idea as such but come on, this is far too silly even for a kids show.
Are you kidding, this is exactly how I picture England in the 17th century, also did you know Cleopatra was Black, my grand mother told me it was so, so must be true!

As a result of diving head first into the whole, "Diversity for the hell of it." Instead of creating new and imaginative stories and worlds like they used to, Disney has outed themselves as bigger bigots than they used to actually be, and nobody is buying it anymore. One long-winded comment later, I think we're safe from our children learning incorrect history as long as our schools are doing their jobs.

Finally, I'll just say this: it takes naught but a glance at population stats, to see that before 1990, Britain was 99% White. The "black history" of Britain coincides with the rise of the global billionaire elite ruling class, and one of their classic tactics for maintaining control over sovereign nations; open borders, chaos, and divide and conquer. They said they were gonna import more non-whites, and they did. From 1992 to 2002 they began, and that's when Britain ACTUALLY HAD a black population. Even more so since then. But just 30 years ago? Hardly any, eh?
@@yulee3266no they didn’t. The only black person in British history in these times was a black trumpeter, who wasn’t even British. He was more of an object, I think it was Henry who bought him as an item of curiosity and then he became a trumpeter. That is not 99% white, it’s 100% white with a foreigner who wasn’t from there living there too. Just like africa was black and Muslim too if you look at the Muslim colonisation of africa.
@@Bbbbbbbbbbhhhhhhh The UK wasn't quite that cut off from the rest of the world and you would also find a sprinkling of Arab/black/Asian sailors/merchants at the larger ports, and occasional black servants in the bigger aristocratic houses (brought over from plantation holdings in the West Indies), so in the rural setting of the show, the only possibly accurate non-white character was the black groom. Go a few decades further on, when newspapers became more widespread and you'll see the occasional mention of a 'Black' (capitalized), either in adverts, as a person seeking a situation as a servant/groom and describing themselves that way, or a person wanted for crimes. I've also seen records from the early and middle part of the century referring to black prostitutes in London (again, the result of freed slaves brought over from Jamaica etc, who were left with no other occupation). However, even if you put them all together, it would still only be a tiny, tiny fraction of the UK population, and you certainly wouldn't see them hanging out in a rural inn without being gawped at as novelties, let alone as senior members of aristocratic families.

I did a Fanfiction where a Knight and capable Squire, returning from the Crusades, have to rescue the Knights sister and Fiance. The sister is accused of being a Witch, she's not, because she's inspired by Contortionist Sofie Dossi. So, a teenage girl who can accurately shoot a bow with her feet while balancing on her hands with a deep back bend just has to be a Witch to the Stupid Ignorant Peasants of 1200 France? Her ability to shoot arrows with her feet saves her life as she's able to hold out until her big brother saves her! So yeah, extraordinary Women would face Witchcraft charges.
modern writers and directors putting things like bullet dodging into their work makes me question how much they actually know. and I just did a check with an ai - and flintlock pistols moved at around 1.5 thousand feet per second. Now in the Matrix things like this make sense as it's not the real world and just a computer program, but this is the real world so I certainly hope there's no moments where she doesn't react fast enough for something and people end up dying.
_Rifles_ fire at about that speed. Even with high quality modern production blackpowder you don't get above 2,000fps. Most pistols were very much subsonic (less than 1000fps) which is slow by modern standards... Until you realize the Welsh Longbow, the terror of the battlefield, throws arrows at less than 300fps. Even with a slight hang fire from imperfect loading you would have to be very lucky _and_ start moving before the sear drops to dodge a bullet.
The music sounds familiar to the Witcher because it is Slavic-inspired - namely, a Bulgarian choir singing (Vanya Moneva choir). As a Bulgarian, I was pleasantly surprised, to be honest. However, the lyrics in that battle scene with the bullet slap are a bit...weird? They literally sound like "Довиждане, съжалявам", which means "Goodbye, I'm sorry".
1. Whoever wrote that show has a vore fetish wtf 2.

They don't like History (and they even tried to change it) so they made another Fan-Fiction instead because that's what their writers from Tumblr are good for.

The colour blind casting is ridiculous for england in the 1700s but you can get away with it in something so clearly absurd and light hearted. However, if they're so obsessed with representation... should they not be trying to accurately represent the people and time they're trying to portray? The trailer to me just stank of disneys on the nose agenda to challenge gender norms, push trans and non binary agendas as normal and, frankly, to appeal to women at the heavy expense of men. All the marketing talk has been around queer representation (whatever the fook that is). Disney is so boring.
Disney really has sunk quality-wise in a relatively short amount of time. I recently watched the 4th Pirates of the Caribbean movie, from 2011, and it's not even considered a particularly good movie- but after seeing current films, it was sooo refreshing to watch. That's because there was so much period detail and similar put into it, with exquisite craftsmanship by the set decorators, costumers, et al. Despite the fantastical elements, they were able to create believable world building- something that is lost on current Disney.
The first self propelled wheelchair was actually invented in 1655, so to me it's not totally outrageous that someone in this show would be using a wheelchair. But I think that's where the historical accuracy ends. The dialogue and colloquialisms sound absolutely ridiculous. It's as if Disney made this show for Americans to gawk at British slang, even if it isn't accurate to the time period. Feels fucking weird.
In a holly wood a story sent in 1700s England, a story set in WW2 Africa and a story set in the far future civilization all have the exact same demographics morals themes and conflicts. Diversity.
I really dislike the bad rep musket get, it's like saying "9mm? Pah you have a better chance at harming me by throwing your silly small 9mm caliber pistol then shooting me!" if this sounds dumb, this is how dumb it sounds when you say that muskets are so inaccurate you can stand infront of one and not get shot.
Yes. Rifling gives greater accuracy at range, but if you stand right in front of musket, they will put a 0.70-inch hole right through you. They worked for the kind of ranked fighting that soldiers used at that time, the musket's smooth bore having some advantages when loading quickly.
@@freman007 that’s actually why they fired in mass ranks. The individual musket wasn’t the most accurate weapon and at ranges well within killing range (in terms of how fast the shot was moving) trying to hit a person was unlikely. A bunch of muskets firing together, however, definitely could.
If you have enough super strength to throw a man that distance then your hand to hand parries are going to be breaking your opponent's arms. Think your world building through properly.
they take out the one thing people want from historical fiction, which is a certain level of factual accuracy to create the illusion of immersion and make the fantasy aspect pop out. everything happening now with diversity breaks the illusion and ruins the foundation of the genre. imagine if half the cast of shogun looked like this. (and then i unpaused the video right into jonny making the same exact point)
Uhhhhhhh... this is absolutely cringe awful. When will Disney give up with the girl boss garbage. Women are great at many things....physically fighting is NOT one of them.
It depends entirely how it’s done. You only need to watch the Sharpe series to know there were plenty of realistically depicted women in the 1700’s who physically fought. Same in lots of Chinese martial art films.

It is bought and paid for anti-whiteism.
Same reason they make famous English queens black as coal.
Disney would never
Also there were no blacks in southern Europe, and North Africa was already middle eastern white. Spain was Spanish, France was French and so on. If they really wanted to tell black stories they would have to learn Zulu or Ethiopian history. That would require effort. On the other hand using the British history they kinda sorta know by osmosis is convenient
For the same reason they make historical English queens black.
It's revisionist history and anti-European.
They don't want to show the truth, they want to rewrite it.
History will look back at this time of "pop culture " movies, and tv shows with humiliation and embarrassment
💯💯. Agreed.
To be fair, history textbooks tend to always look at the past on a patronizing way and making fun to it as "they where so primitive", but yeah, I can't avoid cringing at all this insulting, revisionist and inaccurate bullshit. Still, there are some separate gems so an then. Ironically, Disney is responsible for this disgusting crap, and at the same time of Shogun, which is actually pretty good.

That's been bugging me. You can't have your cake and eat it too, Disney! If olden times were so darn perfect, your ideal sociopolitical haven in fact, then what's all this whining about?
@@kaykutcher2103 I like that it's always excused with statements like "this is isn't for you stop being an incel and complaining about it" but we can't have males portrayed as hyper competent in modern Hollywood movies or shows without a woman coming in and being either better or commenting on misogyny. James bond movies used to be sexist 100% and we don't make movies like that anymore because it's cringe, how is it not cringe when women do it now as well?
@jaycollins2036 We don't really need "Males being hyper competent" in media, we just need media to make characters that feel like real people rather than walking PC statements. Women should be just AS good as men and vice versa. We need challenge and struggle, not this "Woman/Man defies all odds because they're God and everyone loves them so much we must dedicate 2 hours to showing off how great in comparison they are to everyone else". I've read fanfiction with more respect to its supporting cast than Disney has written in years. It's about time we bring back quality writing rather then writing power fantasies for specific audiences
Not Disney, but the one that amused me was Enola Holmes. There were tons of diverse extras in Victorian London and even a karate dojo run by a black woman, but Henry Cavil’s character was still lectured about how society was set up exclusively for people like him.
Meanwhile, the actual Arthur Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes story that most dealt with racial issues, while quite forward-thinking for its time, would be considered _very_ offensive by today’s standard.
Strange, that diversity is only needed, when it comes to European/western stories. And congrats, when a TH-camr does better historical research, than the whole overpaid staff of a Disney show. The downfall of Hollywood is truely remarkable.

@@prageruwu69 what part couldnt you understand from that???
how did Disney go from, everything they made seemed to be good, to everything they make is crap.
You know how
The ,,MeSsAgE" happened...
Conservatives surrendered the arts to progressives. Progressives got incestuous, first in teaching their own, then in gatekeeping the industry. From then on, they spread from the colleges to the studios, and the rest is history.
You have to remember that all their skill, all their experience as artists and writers, is now fundamentally based on "progressive politics good, everything old bad." All history, all morals or philosophy, all operations or management or skill, it's all from the cis-white-fascist culture of bigotry, and therefore literally anything they do to destroy it _ipso facto_ justifies itself.
And, yes, that means you even get batshit takes like "stealing from people is actually good sometimes" and "kidnapping children isn't as bad as threatening people," because ideas like capitalist property rights and traditional families are anathema to these psychopathic monsters.

Also this show: "yes, she has powers... which she heavily relies on to resolve conflicts and it all comes from a male character. This is not sexist writing at all."
Seriously though, it's really not surprising to know that Disney writers went down this route.

But don't you know she's French? Hollywood can't allow French figures to be depicted in a dignified and accurate light because France bad, just look at Ridley Scott's Napoleon.
@@Disneyfan82 just.... go read the books about her.
'Dumb' at the time would have been a synonym for deaf-mute, I believe; she would *not* have asked someone she was just having a conversation with, if they were dumb - someone who encountered a person that continually interacted without speaking, might ask another if the person in question was 'dumb'- _that_ I could understand.
They want to change the meaning of words/ condemn words as 'bad' -- they're just so ignorant, & they want to spread that ignorance & lack of understanding- in order to make themselves feel less so....
Even I know most people said "daft" or "mad".
@silverscorpio24 that's just what I was thinking, that "daft" would've fit so much better there, than _"dumb",_ like she's some elementary school brat who just learned a new "bad" word she can insult people with.
The trouble is, that if the characters (especially the lower class ones) spoke in authentic language of the time (which you can find in books/newspapers of the period), a modern audience would struggle to understand them, because so many words have changed meaning or are no longer used at all, although it grates on me too when characters in a historical setting use modern-sounding language.
@dexine4723 Well, like the person above said, they could've used the word "daft," and it'd hold a better, more historically accurate meaning.
In fact, I was expecting her to say "daft," and was surprised and rather baffled when she said "dumb," because that's _not_ the word she would've used in those times.
They don't need to sound unintelligible to sound accurate, they just need to use words _somewhat_ correctly for the time, and they couldn't even do that. OP is correct, using the word "dumb" like it meant what it means today, when it didn't, was a stupid and ignorant move.
And you could say it's just a small detail, but I think even a small detail like that, speaks to just how little they actually cared when making this, that they couldn't even be bothered to use language correctly for the time to make it feel even a little bit immersive.
9:40 For an infinitely better approach to the subject of women joining the army in the olden days, may I suggest Terry Pratchett's 'The Monstrous Regiment'? And it takes place in Discworld, not real England, so you can indulge in enjoying the fantasy plot without actual history getting in the way.
Then again, it goes without saying that Mr Pratchett had a much better knowledge of history and story-telling than the whole of Disney's writing staff put together.
The only thing I can add to that is it's Sir Prachett.
The man was knighted, even personally did most of the work in making his own sword within a year of being knighted on the basis of "Well, obviously a knight should have a sword". Then he felt it a good idea to hide it because of the state Britain's in, even back in 2010.
"It annoys me that knights aren't allowed to carry their swords," he said. "That would be knife crime."

Or, look up the real life stories of women who joined the army/navy in the seventeen hundreds and genuinely did go to war. There weren't many, but they did exist, and there were probably more than we know about, because many would have kept their identities successfully hidden.

As a result of diving head first into the whole, "Diversity for the hell of it." Instead of creating new and imaginative stories and worlds like they used to, Disney has outed themselves as bigger bigots than they used to actually be, and nobody is buying it anymore.
One long-winded comment later, I think we're safe from our children learning incorrect history as long as our schools are doing their jobs.

Finally, I'll just say this: it takes naught but a glance at population stats, to see that before 1990, Britain was 99% White. The "black history" of Britain coincides with the rise of the global billionaire elite ruling class, and one of their classic tactics for maintaining control over sovereign nations; open borders, chaos, and divide and conquer. They said they were gonna import more non-whites, and they did. From 1992 to 2002 they began, and that's when Britain ACTUALLY HAD a black population. Even more so since then. But just 30 years ago? Hardly any, eh?
if britian has has black in the country for decades then they had a black population small but still existed what do you mean?
@@yulee3266no they didn’t. The only black person in British history in these times was a black trumpeter, who wasn’t even British. He was more of an object, I think it was Henry who bought him as an item of curiosity and then he became a trumpeter. That is not 99% white, it’s 100% white with a foreigner who wasn’t from there living there too. Just like africa was black and Muslim too if you look at the Muslim colonisation of africa.
@@Bbbbbbbbbbhhhhhhh The UK wasn't quite that cut off from the rest of the world and you would also find a sprinkling of Arab/black/Asian sailors/merchants at the larger ports, and occasional black servants in the bigger aristocratic houses (brought over from plantation holdings in the West Indies), so in the rural setting of the show, the only possibly accurate non-white character was the black groom. Go a few decades further on, when newspapers became more widespread and you'll see the occasional mention of a 'Black' (capitalized), either in adverts, as a person seeking a situation as a servant/groom and describing themselves that way, or a person wanted for crimes. I've also seen records from the early and middle part of the century referring to black prostitutes in London (again, the result of freed slaves brought over from Jamaica etc, who were left with no other occupation). However, even if you put them all together, it would still only be a tiny, tiny fraction of the UK population, and you certainly wouldn't see them hanging out in a rural inn without being gawped at as novelties, let alone as senior members of aristocratic families.
Okay the whole "A tiny fairy man flies down a woman's throat to live in her stomach and give her superpowers (as well as something that looks suspiciously close to an orgasm reaction) just screams this being a fetish thing the writer wrote down...

Most pistols were very much subsonic (less than 1000fps) which is slow by modern standards... Until you realize the Welsh Longbow, the terror of the battlefield, throws arrows at less than 300fps.

Disney really has sunk quality-wise in a relatively short amount of time. I recently watched the 4th Pirates of the Caribbean movie, from 2011, and it's not even considered a particularly good movie- but after seeing current films, it was sooo refreshing to watch. That's because there was so much period detail and similar put into it, with exquisite craftsmanship by the set decorators, costumers, et al. Despite the fantastical elements, they were able to create believable world building- something that is lost on current Disney.
The first self propelled wheelchair was actually invented in 1655, so to me it's not totally outrageous that someone in this show would be using a wheelchair. But I think that's where the historical accuracy ends. The dialogue and colloquialisms sound absolutely ridiculous. It's as if Disney made this show for Americans to gawk at British slang, even if it isn't accurate to the time period. Feels fucking weird.
In a holly wood a story sent in 1700s England, a story set in WW2 Africa and a story set in the far future civilization all have the exact same demographics morals themes and conflicts. Diversity.
I applaud you for your tenacity... i watched about 20min. then i had to turn it off to keep my sanity
Pirates is nothing without Johnny. Nice Pirate costume, Pirate's life for me!
I really dislike the bad rep musket get, it's like saying "9mm? Pah you have a better chance at harming me by throwing your silly small 9mm caliber pistol then shooting me!"
if this sounds dumb, this is how dumb it sounds when you say that muskets are so inaccurate you can stand infront of one and not get shot.
Yes. Rifling gives greater accuracy at range, but if you stand right in front of musket, they will put a 0.70-inch hole right through you.
They worked for the kind of ranked fighting that soldiers used at that time, the musket's smooth bore having some advantages when loading quickly.
@@freman007 that’s actually why they fired in mass ranks. The individual musket wasn’t the most accurate weapon and at ranges well within killing range (in terms of how fast the shot was moving) trying to hit a person was unlikely. A bunch of muskets firing together, however, definitely could.
Weird hill to die on, but at least you're dead
"Grape sized hole in his chest"
Pretty sure he was being sarcastic.
If you have enough super strength to throw a man that distance then your hand to hand parries are going to be breaking your opponent's arms.
Think your world building through properly.
I guess now we know what happens when Orla goes "all the way" with step-fitness class.
Not me snorting every time you say “Robyyyin Hood” 😂
It's in times like these I miss old shows like Penny Dreadful...
My dad's gotten so desperate he now misses Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men.
You really can‘t make that up… Unless you are Disney and say: Hold my vegan cafe latte 😅
they take out the one thing people want from historical fiction, which is a certain level of factual accuracy to create the illusion of immersion and make the fantasy aspect pop out. everything happening now with diversity breaks the illusion and ruins the foundation of the genre. imagine if half the cast of shogun looked like this. (and then i unpaused the video right into jonny making the same exact point)
I'm smiling and giggling with that intro. Another great video Jonny. Spot on views! 😊
I remember when Disney was actually something I looked forward to watching. Now I watch TH-camrs trashing them..
same here
This is the same company that made the TV show "Once Upon a Time." Nothing they make can be surprising after that fanfiction soap opera.
Uhhhhhhh... this is absolutely cringe awful. When will Disney give up with the girl boss garbage. Women are great at many things....physically fighting is NOT one of them.
It depends entirely how it’s done. You only need to watch the Sharpe series to know there were plenty of realistically depicted women in the 1700’s who physically fought. Same in lots of Chinese martial art films.
i get what u were trying to get at, but this did end up sounding misogynistic
@melonstarzz facts are mean, true, but mean. I can't birth a child, I'm a guy, facts... sometimes, if people actually respect their limitations, it makes the world a safer place. I don't want a blind man driving a taxi. It's sad that he's blind, and he should have every opportunity given to him to make him equal to everyone else, but sometimes physical differences have to be acknowledged, no matter who it offends.
"so a villain has been dedicating days casting a spell to trap nell in prison, that's gonna be tough for her to find a way out"
"actually sir its gonna be super easy, barely an inconvenience"
"oh really?"
"yeah she's just gonna run at a wall and pass through it"
"well alright then, running through walls is tight"
Look at what they've done to my boy... Nate the Great, my best mate, he's all ours, there's no debate. Yeah, Nate the Great!
Ted Lasso reference, in case you're wondering
In order to give a shit about British misrepresentation, we would have to give a shit about the British.
Fuckin’ ‘ell mate! Admit it! You made this up Jonny Flaw! This cannot be real! And why does the main grrl-boss look like one of those scuzzy characters who’ve been uglified by AI to stymie the male gaze in a computer game?? Oh wait. Shit! Is this a real show?? 😱😱😱
iz real hehehe
It is ironic that the robin hood story keeps getting pushed forward by the very people Robin would rob hahaha
