Things Alexander (and friends) definitely did not say

If you watched Alexander: The Making of a God on Netflix and didn't shake your head couple of times, were you even watching? Because....brUH lol. Now, I'm not a historian, but I think, I know enough about Alexander and the times he lived or let's just say, have enough common sense to understand that a lot of things in this (documentary?) where quite out of 2024. Here's 12 moments found to be more of  "trust me bro" rather than a historical fact. 

1- No way they called him Alex! I don't care how close you were to him etc, and even though Macedonians were known to not be as formal as Greeks,  Californians they were not. And in public? In front of his enemies? There is no way this happened. 

2- Imagine calling Olympias, one of the most important princesses of her time and one of the most famous princesses in the history of mankind...a foreign princess! Put some respect on her name lol It seems like they always try to avoid going into details as to not start any debates. So, she was Greek, but why did she send her son Alexander to hide in Illyria? I mean, you seek protection, you don't just go to any place, you go where family is right? Why not send him to Greece then, at her father's land? lol 

3- Alexander telling his mother "no more killing". The balls lol. Then he proceeds to kill millions. Awww! Lemme tell you something Linda. In 2024, in the Balkans, you ain't telling your mother shit.  Especially, in a sentence ending with "you understand"? Like, you just don't! So, I can't imagine him talking to her like that or anything remotely similar, knowing also Olympias  was the key figure to his making. Also, she was going to run the place with Alexander gone, so...what's even the point?

4- To a place? And tf is that map ⬇️? Illyria was bigger than Macedonia bruh. Even in this map Illyria is almost the same size as Macedonia. TF you mean a place? Hahahahhahaha! I love how they always underplay Illyria, because they don't know shit about Illyrians, and they don't dare say shit because it will change a lot of things that have been written. That'll change in the next five years, but even with this much information, a historian calling Illyria a place is unacceptable. And that map? Illyria stretched from what is known as today Slovenia to Albania. Like who drew that lol 

5- Dramatic music? First of, at least there would have been drums lololololol

Why they always play dramatic music in battle scenes? Do they expect soldiers to cry? If anything would have been some uplifting music to make them up for war, not like...man I miss my wife hahahahaha. Yeah, I'm just messing but yeah. 

6- He let Alexander in, let his generals in, let his army in and  then...now why would he say that? 

I mean, could he even? Lol! Make it make sense.

7- This was my favorite part. I was like : How did they know what was said in the Oracle? Is there some record or something and just then...they said:

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Here's the thing about history. Once you have a single fact wrong, then everything falls apart and can't be taken in consideration. I get it, it is not The Library of Congress BUT at least say "It's believed that in the sanctuary etc etc etc" and not like, show us 10 minutes of tf happened there, then say BUT we just made all that up lol. 

8- Not that bish being sassy throwing shit right in front of the king's salad lololololol The way his head would have flown! 

9- You know you've been too long on the social media when you start saying things like: Then the King of Persia was like "TRUST ME BRUH". Then he said LITERALLY next lol 

10- Here's another one. The real world? The queen talking about the real world? Cheating on your husband, spilling out king's secrets, giving a heir to the enemy...hmmm not really the real world. Is not like you're fucking Arash from the corner girl. You're fucking handsome Alexander, your husband's sworn enemy. Families have hated each other for centuries, for far less than this like a fence or a water pipe. But, hey whatyougonnado? Netflix hired Brenda and that's all Brenda could come up with. Now you're known as the first queen to say "This is the real world"!

11- Why he keep training all the time when he knew well he wasn't even going to fight? At least do cardio. Would have been more useful. 

12- Now this pissed me off! NO WAY this is on record and WHY would you write this?!!! She is grateful? For what? This don't even make sense! Killed her father, her mother died, took her land, her inheritance, ruined her life, enslaved her ...I mean just pick one. And she's grateful? Why? How? I don't know about the West, but there's no daughter in the East and under that would say this. There's no chance. That's the same daughter who went off on her mother for fucking Alexander, but killing my father is ok! Who in the world would say I'm grateful for killing my father?! Why is this writing soooo bad hahahahaha!

With that said, I loved this mess! Aaaaaand scene!
