Ummm ackchully the powdered wig look didn't take off until the mid-16th century (funny enough, started because of the syphilis epidemic, a disease which came from contact with the New World) and was reserved for the wealthy elite at the time. Most sailors getting off the first boats would've just been wiry, deformed, and pock-marked hunchbacks ☺️☺️

Can you not have a bit of respect? Some of us are tryin' to bask in moon glow!

Our flag means death is a great show. I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did.

Admittedly, if you were on some isolated area and this came off a boat you'd think you're being invaded by aliens, too.

I want the record to show I didn't even go with the top 5 most absurd Met gala outfits that came up when I googled, I was trying to keep it fair here.

Yeah but I'll be the parlor wigs were a bit off-putting

BTW Conquistadores Adventum is a really good show about the colonization of Americas. It shows how tough the sailing was but also how brutal the conquest was and tells the stories of people behind it.

Where can I watch that, doesn’t say on imdb

[-] ExLisper@linux.community 2 points 2 years ago

I torrented it. It's a Spanish production that I thin was available on movistar+ platform. Hard to find.

The reveal at the end of apocalypto has always stuck with me in my mind.
