Haha I saw Mary Queen of Scots on the same day as The Favourite and while the fact it was presented as a more straight-forward historical interpretation was somewhat annoying, I thought Margot Robbie really showed what she's capable of as an actress and I loved that. At the same time the clandestine meeting scene between Elizabeth and Mary was bullshit. Because I know we're in for years of people thinking that actually happened. Having said that, the fact that those two never actually met is somewhat of a historical cockblock given how their situations seem ripe for a dramatic meeting at some point.

And then you've got stuff like Braveheart. Ok, it's...not good. But we know so little about the real William Wallace that it gets a *sort of* pass from the point of view that it largely draws from a source written a couple of centuries after Wallace's death and that source is probably mostly made up anyway. It's all about how the story makes you feel though, it was meant to invoke anger and passion. However, there's a part of me that wishes that almost anyone other than fucking Mel Gibson was associated with that role.

Also I totally get the rage regarding the blue face paint and plaid because both those were simply not things at the time of Wallace and even pre-Google you could find this out easily!

Well, the stuff about Edward II in Braveheart was inaccurate and violently homophobic so that’s very shitty

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that. Definitely not a good choice at all. At least Outlaw King didn't go down the same route, though it did make Prince Edward a little pantomime like still.
