The genocide of Tenochtitlan is actually one of the most horrifying things I have ever read (lemmy.ml)

Cortes should have had is fucking heart ripped out for everyone to see. Even that would be too kind. The blunt edge of a macuahuitl to the back of the head would also do. It's genuinely unfathomable to me how someone can do what the Spanish did to the Mexica. It's unbelievable that I am seeing the very same tactics used in modern day Palestine. I'm disturbed by how similar they are. If I ever visit mexico city I'm pissing on his fucking grave. I'd actually give anything to have watched Cortes' slow death from suffocation.

There is no such thing as Palestinian war crimes. Everything is justifiable. They could live broadcast ritual human sacrifices and I would be completely unbothered. I want America to burn for what it has done.

Do you know what else makes me angry? As seen in the pictures on that website, Tenochtitlan was a city of rivers, canals, and widespread boat travel. It was a marvel of city design and environmental engineering. It was as iconic as Venice, and truly one of the wonders of the world.

But then Marvel made a movie, Eternals (2021), and for some reason had a scene depicting the fall of Tenochtitlan. Did they show the ancient city how it truly was? Did they pay any attention to historical accuracy whatsoever? No, as pointed out in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXZsAZE0MQ4 . In the movie, Tenochtitlan is in the middle of a jungle, and it is way smaller than in reality.

You spend $200,000,000 making a piece of shit movie and not one of those dollars was spent doing a google search of what Tenochtitlan actually looked like? And of course if a Marvel fight scene took place in Venice they would make SURE to have canals and gondolas in the scene, because portraying European cities correctly is of the utmost importance. us-foreign-policy
