The story of Aladdin is actually set in "a land far to the east of Arab" lands at the time and the descriptions match China, specifically Xinjiang, perfectly. So Aladdin was Chinese, but probably written by Arabs who had never been there themselves but had second or third hand accounts of Muslim traders who frequented Western China (Xinjiang) which borders Afghanistan. That's why the people of Xinjiang are Muslim. So the author gave the characters Arabic names, as people in Xinjiang often adopted Arab names, and since many of them were Muslim it was imagined as a sort of "edge" of known lands, but still under the influence of Islam despite being "Chinese". Also, "Genie" is an anglicized version of "Djinn" which are mentioned in the Quran as being kind of sort of like demons (maybe spirits would be more accurate as they don't necessarily serve Iblis, the main devil figure in Islam, there is more than one satan or shaytan but they serve Iblis), but not always malevolent and they could even be Muslims themselves, they just aren't human and have supernatural powers and play tricks on people in many old stories. Tales of Djinn predate the Quran actually but were probably incorporated because it was a very common belief that such spirits existed, p.s. Xinjiang people still write their vernacular version of Mandarin Chinese in Arabic characters, you can even see it on some bank notes in China, they feature a variety of minority languages and depictions of their cultures on the bills

About the Greeks, it's not so much that the statues were realistic to the proportions idealized at the time. The idealization was small, and in fact, they maintained that "parts" that today we would consider average or above average, were symbols of barbarism or low intelligence. In fact there are quite a few political and literary attacks towards Germanic Tribes and Africans; saying that they parts were symbols that they did not reach the sophistication of Greek culture, since they lacked the sophistication in proportion on their body. Yeahh, the Greeks basically, if they thought your culture had "BD" Energy, they would colonize you or see you as savage and unworthy of appreciation.
Didn’t the original story also have a Jin of the Ring who could granted any two rule free wishes and the tomb resided within a river that flooded when being sealed?
I knew _Pocahontas_ would be on here. Man, Disney wasn't even trying when they made that movie. Ironic, since it was specifically designed to be Oscar bait.

If I remember correctly, it wasn't so much that it was idealized but more symbolic. A modern way of putting it would be "we think with our heads not our *heads*" separating themselves from the animals and barbaric cultures were men hyper fixated on sex and gaining women and not developing their society. The culture was widely adopted by the Romans as well. There are graffiti depictions of Caesar with exaggeratingly large testicles which is claiming that he is fueled by uncontrolled animalistic emotions and urges.
Herules' dick jokes ARE historically accurate as far as I know. Ancient greeks valued the domination of spirit over instincts, and while impressive musculature was seen as a sign you took good care of yourself, a large... appendage... was seen as a sign of bestiality, of the more animalistic, instinct-driven side of humanity, and thus not esthetically pleasing. Which is why, or so I've been told, many otherwise impressively statuesque sculptures have a rather disappointing dangler. It was to show they were great by their spirit and mind, not just by their muscles.
I'm pretty sure they had propoganda they would spread about the Egyptians being a barbaric society and there is art of them being portrayed with absolutely massive 3rd legs
I heard somewhere that many of those statues actually had larger peckers but during the Christianization period most of those statues were defaced by having them smashed off because it was seen as crude and only later were those statues "fixed" by using what remained of the stone basis to shape the tiny ones.
@@Geraduss That's bizarre, if true, considering the size of your penis when flaccid generally has little to no bearing on how large it is when erect. In fact, studies show that on average, people with a smaller penis when flaccid are larger when erect than people with larger flaccid penises.
@@Geraduss i've heard that some were "humbled" too, but the stories i've seen were specific to the statues in Vatican City, or in Roman Churches in general. Like, some Pope didnt like to walk past "weiner hallway" and thus had them carved into a vine leaf instead. Not sure if that is apocryphal tho
@@testinggame5631I think you're slightly misremembering the study. My recollection is that "growers", as their name implies, grew more when erect, than "showers".

You brought up the taking of a thief's hands as if it's something messed up to show kids, but in Disney's Aladdin, the apple seller was about to take Jasmine's hand after she unknowingly stole an apple to give to a hungry boy. Like, he had Jasmine's arm pinned down and Aladdin stopped the blade mid-swing.
Actually Aladdin is chinese, not arabic. The story was changed to be set in arabia when the original story was translated into french, which was directly translated into english. But the original story it was set in western china, the closest to india.
I knew about the chinese part...but I thought it took place in Arabia....unless i'm getting other stories confused (I thought it was connected to Arabian Knights)
@@jabber1990 as i said when the tales was translated to french from an oral source (as in someone told the tale to him) he changed it to be in arabia but the original tale was in western china. Every version since had kept the arabia setting because its the most widely known setting and not many people know that the tale was originally in china
@@jabber1990 It's part of the tales of "a thousand and one nights" which itself is set in Persia. The "Thousand and One Nights" itself is a framing device for a collection of stories from with stories from pre-Islamic and medieval Arabia, Sanskrit, Persian, and Mesopotamian (Babylonian + Sumerian) origins. You can think about that as the Middle east equivalent of the the Greek Aesop's fables. (though unlike Scheherazade, and the shah Shahryar, there are historical records referencing Aesop, but it is very unlikely that all the fables attributed to Aesop were actually told or collected by Aesop) Of course most folks in the western world just know that as the Arabian Nights. which other than the language the stories are compiled in, is a misnomer
As the kid in class pointed out, they got the dates for the Taj Mahal wrong by several years, so it's historically inaccurate. And we all know historically inaccurate things aren't worth watching. Joking aside, Frozen was based (VERY loosely) on Hans Christian Anderson's "The Snow Queen". The best historical guess for Elsa would be Jenny Lind, a famous opera singer who rejected Hans and whom he thus allegedly patterned the titular snow queen after. There are a number of surviving photos of her, but those give nothing that would begin to explain what this video did with her.
The lion on Hercules, ahem sorry, Herakles is accurate. Herakles made a pelt from the Nemean Lion and used it as armor for most of his labors because nothing but the lion's own claws and teeth could penetrate it. Mythology Guy actually did a great mythology innacuracies in Disney Hercules and its crazy what Disney actually got correct such as Megara being Herakles lover and the scene with the centaur.
My own reaction when I first saw this, was to the teacher more than the history. When she said "Your mother said I could hit you if you started acting autistic." KILLED me! Also, I'm with you on Abu screaming. That got to me for some odd reason too. Maybe the animation lol
2:54, for what it’s worth, this is completely out of character for Aladdin in the source material as well. In the tale of Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp, his goal is to get Princess Badr al-Badur to fall in love with him and it’s the Moroccan magician who kidnaps her and tries to force her to marry him and Aladdin kills the Moroccan magician for doing that.
He went monotheistic 😭 Poly means many, Mono menas one (Christians, Muslims, etc.) Terry did say it in the video, but yeah, really accurate and fucked up 😂
Petition for MrTerry to watch "historically accurate" Frozen as well. Maybe not accurate to actual history, but sums up most of my runs in Crusader Kings pretty well
I think the main point was the Greeks thought a large penis meant that a lot of blood was not in the brain they essentially thought a small penis was a sign of a more advanced mind and a man with a large penis was more like an animal or a beast (barbarian) and likely unintelligent.
Whenever I see Flashgitz, I KNOW that it will not be safe to show in a classroom! 😂😂 I would also suggest Adam Ruins Everything animated regarding history 😊

However there's a lot of things I would show the kids in school though, like Joe Biden tripping on stairs, falling off his bike, tripping again, sniffing the hair of kids, touching women inappropriately, and tell them, this is the fool your parents elected to lead the nation.

Flashgitz doesn't poison the mind with misinformation and false narratives, ergo he's far less damaging.
@@spinosaurusstriker I won't lie and say that I know much about Arabian mythology. But I think the concept of good or bad in this case was more about whether the djinn worshipped Allah or followed Iblis. Not so much how they dealt with humans. Course, in my opinion, that's kinda the way monotheism really works. Also, I think I remember that Allah told both the angels and Iblis to bow before man. So, I think he favors us over the djinn. Again, I'm not an expert. I just have access to small amounts of info and am basing my opinion on that.
@@azazelgrigori9244there are different between Djinns and Genies. Djinn are real, they are creators from fire and smoke, for Muslims they are like those ghost or evil spirit that possessed people or haunted house since muslims do not believe about that human become a ghost or spirit afterlife in same human world. But genie are just fictional thing in Arabian Nights stories, it is just could be djinn or Ifrit or animal or real human even by cursed via item to become a powerful magical slave.
There was also the Pentagram which was used as the symbol of I believe it was like Jupiter in the Roman Pantheon and I forget her counterpart in Greek. Funnier still, it also saw use in the early church, as certain bishops believed it allowed them to commune with archangels. As for the “goat” depiction many satanists associate with Baphomet, this was an west coast artist’s depiction from the 1900s, whereas the first mentions of Baphomet date back to the first crusades and earlier as a spirit of Justice and Balance, for whom was also worshipped by certain sects of crusaders as their guiding spirit on their war against heretical views.
Historically accurate is a misleading title most Disney stories are based on fictional stories especially a lot from Brothers Grimm. So there's no real actual historic event tied to these stories that can be proven. The only two you could potentially argue are close to history are Tarzan or Pocahontas but even then they're not meant to be dipictions of actual history. If you want a native story that's actually closer to history watch Last of the Mohicans.
Disney's Aladdin is actually the combination of two stories. The setting is based after Arabian Nights taking place during the Islamic Golden age. And the main about genies and all that closely resembles the Chinese Wish Dragon folklore.
Frozen was originally meant to be The Snow Queen which Walt Disney was toying with when making his first film. However the setting of a frozen tundra in an animated feature film in the 1930's was too complicated so that didn't happen and his kids were reading Snow White at the time which he took more inspiration to make his first feature film. So it was meant to be The Snow Queen but I believe they wanted the sisters to have equal focus in the film and The Snow Queen didn't fit that. Add the fact that it's inspired by so they renamed it.
Also they would have issues with the setting, since they pass through finland in the snow queen - and there is an entire lobby or group getting annoyed if thats not “represented” correctly.
Though it does make one thing funny... Remember Elsagate? Spider-Man x Elsa stuff... 90s Spider-Man was voiced Christopher Daniel Barnes... He was also Prince Eric in Little mermaid... Guess what two stories have the same author
As soon as you said flashgitz I immediately thought, “oh dear god no!” Flashgitz channel is adult animated comedy across the board mostly covering things that are popular in media and internet culture. It’s a great laugh if you have free time and want to turn your brain off for a while, but that’s all it’s really good for.
I can't tell you how excited I was to hear you say at the beginning of the video that this content might be something you could potentially show in class and waiting for the enevitable moment when you had to backtrack. This made my day. So thank you.
Another innacuracy in the Pocahontas animation: John Smith says that he's looking for the Taj Mahal, but Taj Mahal was completed in 1632 and he and Pocahontas first meet in 1607.
5:23, in Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp, Aladdin is Chinese (or at least lives in China) but it’s ruled by a Sheik and except for a Jewish merchant who cheats Aladdin every character is Muslim.
John Smith met Pocahontas when he was captured by the Native Americans. It was documented in his writings though with some embellishments but despite that, Pocahontas was well known to the colonists as she befriended its children (as she was a child herself), fed them during the winter, and was kidnapped by the colonists during one of their wars with the Native Americans. Pocahontas never had a romantic relationship with John Smith however. Instead she married John Rolfe and bore him a child before dying at a young age.

Jinn aren't really pagan anymore. They might have been in the past, but they are fully integrated into Islam. Actually, it says in the Quran that god made three species capable of thought. From dust, he made humans. From light, he made angels, and from smokeless fire, he made Jinn. In fact, there are lots of stories of the jinn even converting to all of the big three religions. So there are even jinn that converted to Judaism and Christianity.
I guess the Alantis movie would've been too easy to make a "It's an expedition of Nazi's" reference. Also Frozen is just Disney's "PG attempt" at the Ice Queen story
Actually, for Hercules it was because a smaller penis I think was seen as better or more modest, whereas a larger one wasn't seen as modest and often they weren't as respected as the "smaller" men

Maybe. The story is presented in the Arabian nights, and in it they say it takes place in china, but every person in the story and the setting as described are portrayed like a middle-eastern Muslim country. So it is either an Asian tale retold in Arabia or invented there by someone who only knew his own people.
Considering that the area from which The Thousand And One Nights tales were compiled was under Caliphate rule, it's actually Sharia rather than Hammurabi which the character is referring to at 3:20
In Disney’s Pocahontas, they made them out to be the same age, and I think they may have kissed, but yes, the impression was they were romantically involved, even though that’s not accurate. So creepy in the real story
If you want funny history clips then you need to watch Horrible Histories, it was a British sketch comedy show for children that taught history in a hilarious way (even the nasty bits). It was so good that it won actual comedy awards, not just kids ones. I’d liken it to Monty Python for kids with a historical theme.
And they have a group of fact checkers to make sure that every thing is 100% true as well, except for a couple of mistakes over the entire long series.

Hi. Just a suggestion for a series set in history that I would love your perspective in. "Murdoch Mysteries" is a Canadian series set in Toronto in the dawn of the 20th century, and they do many fun bits about inventions, politicians and scientists of that era. As someone who's not from North America I wouldn't really know if the show is totally off in some details, but would be interested in knowing that.
I noticed that the latest series of Murdoch Mysteries have a tone of life going on under the growing shadow of World War I. First it was a tone of optimistic expectation of the scientific advancements leading to the twentieth century. Then it shifted toward the social issues of the era. Then about 1907-1908, it becomes a countdown to the Great War. Series 17 has ended on a note that could bring Detective Murdoch to England, and I would hope to see him and Doctor Ogden in Sarajevo for the grand finale.
@MrTerry As far a Disney and historical films go, one you should look into is Victory Through Airpower. It's an animated film based on a book publish in April of 1942 by pilot and Seversky/Republic aircraft founder Alexander P. de Seversky and gives an overview on the birth of aircraft, how they became machines of war, and how strategic bombing could be used to influence the outcome of the then still raging war. It would be interesting to disect to see how Seversky's theories shown in the film translated into real life practice and how effective they were.
2:23 - Genie, I said nothing of love!!! lmao >XD Show that in school! :D 4:08 - It's funny, Apu sounds like Homer screaming and Aladdin sounds like Apu! :D 5:25 - Your mother said I could hit you for being autistic! That's hilarious. It's ok for me to say that, I'm an asshole!!* 5:35 - That's not Pocahontas; that's her sister Pocaraccoon! * and that hole is no longer such as it's filled with burgers!
I wouldn't call them historically accurate. More like Grimm's Tales version of Disney movies. It did remind me of how I had a bunch of Aladdin toys as a little kid, and I scraped the paint off Jasmine's top because I wanted to see her boobs too. I had no concept of the importance of the downstairs bits or nipples, but there was flesh tone paint under the blue, so it was like hardcore porn to my perverted little mind. I am glad you cleared up the misconception I had about Pocahontas being married off as a child. I thought that had been the case, and that's gross. I imagine Elsa being burnt at the stake in the Frozen one. I don't think I'm going to watch it though because I didn't really like these that much. I was hoping for an Anastasia one with her and her whole family being gunned down instead of whatever happened in the movie.
I remember Pocahontas was kidnapped from her husband she loved when he was away and she got Gang grape on the ship to England and got treated like a prop when she was married off to another person against her will and she had a child before she was kidnapped and had a gang grape one and no one knew the father of from the grape and she eventually got promised she'd return home and was completely fine the night before they said she would have to wait till the next day to be sent home but was poisoned at supper
Frozen is just based off a book written in the 1600s. The Snow Queen was an allegory for Lucifer so obvious that CS Lewis copied it. I didn't see Frozen but I think they missed that

You brought up the taking of a thief's hands as if it's something messed up to show kids, but in Disney's Aladdin, the apple seller was about to take Jasmine's hand after she unknowingly stole an apple to give to a hungry boy. Like, he had Jasmine's arm pinned down and Aladdin stopped the blade mid-swing.
Indeed!
@@MrTerryAlso in the original lyrics for “Arabian Nights” it does mentioning losing ones hands for thievery.
Actually Aladdin is chinese, not arabic. The story was changed to be set in arabia when the original story was translated into french, which was directly translated into english. But the original story it was set in western china, the closest to india.
Interesting. I did not know that
@@MrTerry good :)
I knew about the chinese part...but I thought it took place in Arabia....unless i'm getting other stories confused (I thought it was connected to Arabian Knights)
@@jabber1990 as i said when the tales was translated to french from an oral source (as in someone told the tale to him) he changed it to be in arabia but the original tale was in western china. Every version since had kept the arabia setting because its the most widely known setting and not many people know that the tale was originally in china
@@jabber1990 It's part of the tales of "a thousand and one nights" which itself is set in Persia. The "Thousand and One Nights" itself is a framing device for a collection of stories from with stories from pre-Islamic and medieval Arabia, Sanskrit, Persian, and Mesopotamian (Babylonian + Sumerian) origins. You can think about that as the Middle east equivalent of the the Greek Aesop's fables. (though unlike Scheherazade, and the shah Shahryar, there are historical records referencing Aesop, but it is very unlikely that all the fables attributed to Aesop were actually told or collected by Aesop)
Of course most folks in the western world just know that as the Arabian Nights. which other than the language the stories are compiled in, is a misnomer
As the kid in class pointed out, they got the dates for the Taj Mahal wrong by several years, so it's historically inaccurate. And we all know historically inaccurate things aren't worth watching.
Joking aside, Frozen was based (VERY loosely) on Hans Christian Anderson's "The Snow Queen". The best historical guess for Elsa would be Jenny Lind, a famous opera singer who rejected Hans and whom he thus allegedly patterned the titular snow queen after. There are a number of surviving photos of her, but those give nothing that would begin to explain what this video did with her.
Aox😂
Aox😂
So, Jenny was a 'Fridgid Bitch', historically speaking, i mean, according to Hans' character writing, lmao!
Damn, Hans got no luck with his love interests
@@pfp6260 I mean, if his response to getting rejected is to publish a story that caricatures her as the villain... it probably wasn't luck.
As an English woman, I have to say that the first chap was a looker! The second one, not so much.
lol
The lion on Hercules, ahem sorry, Herakles is accurate. Herakles made a pelt from the Nemean Lion and used it as armor for most of his labors because nothing but the lion's own claws and teeth could penetrate it. Mythology Guy actually did a great mythology innacuracies in Disney Hercules and its crazy what Disney actually got correct such as Megara being Herakles lover and the scene with the centaur.
Disney is w0ke for sticking with the roman name instead of the native greek pronunciation

My own reaction when I first saw this, was to the teacher more than the history. When she said "Your mother said I could hit you if you started acting autistic." KILLED me! Also, I'm with you on Abu screaming. That got to me for some odd reason too. Maybe the animation lol
Yeah it's so funny to make fun of children with disabilities isn't it?
2:54, for what it’s worth, this is completely out of character for Aladdin in the source material as well. In the tale of Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp, his goal is to get Princess Badr al-Badur to fall in love with him and it’s the Moroccan magician who kidnaps her and tries to force her to marry him and Aladdin kills the Moroccan magician for doing that.
Flashgitz videos are an... experience.

He went monotheistic 😭 Poly means many, Mono menas one (Christians, Muslims, etc.) Terry did say it in the video, but yeah, really accurate and fucked up 😂
@@R34S0N3R I know what Poly & Mono means 💀☠️
Petition for MrTerry to watch "historically accurate" Frozen as well. Maybe not accurate to actual history, but sums up most of my runs in Crusader Kings pretty well
Omfg! Pocahontas's expression when John Rolfe started talking to her... from mild apprehension with Smith to full blown "wtf".
The look of abject horror...and then our knowledge knowing how she ends up marrying him....
Oh my lord, you have got to see historically accurate frozen by the same people, it is amazing.
*“ËŁLŁŒ, DÆRŁÏŃG!”* 😂😂
1:40 he destroyed all Indian's with that line.
I think the main point was the Greeks thought a large penis meant that a lot of blood was not in the brain they essentially thought a small penis was a sign of a more advanced mind and a man with a large penis was more like an animal or a beast (barbarian) and likely unintelligent.
3:16, though the actual Disney movie also references that one. When Princess Jasmine steals an apple, the merchant threatens to cut off her hand.
Whenever I see Flashgitz, I KNOW that it will not be safe to show in a classroom! 😂😂 I would also suggest Adam Ruins Everything animated regarding history 😊
I mean, there's a lot of things online I wouldn't show in a classroom, irregardless of the students ages... like Flashgitz, or literally anything from the good old era of Newgrounds flash animations... and a lot more... However there's a lot of things I would show the kids in school though, like Joe Biden tripping on stairs, falling off his bike, tripping again, sniffing the hair of kids, touching women inappropriately, and tell them, this is the fool your parents elected to lead the nation. The literal definition of Stranger Danger.
It would be much less damaging to society if we show the children Flashgitz than adam ruins everything.
@@ramunematt Why would it be better? I get the comedy around it but still, in pure academia it would be better with a show that shows it´s sources rather than old age animated Newgrounds animations.
@@ATAmdal It takes less than 5 minutes to see adam ruins everything being debunked with equally if not more reliable sources. He likes to cherry pick data to form a narrative, he's no better than MSM. I mean look at his appearance on JRE, how easily he crumbles when he's actually challenged and has to backup what he's claiming.
Flashgitz doesn't poison the mind with misinformation and false narratives, ergo he's far less damaging.
Mr. Terry is agog and aghast, but flashgitz is not safe as a teaching material
Glad I learned that now!
A surprising crossover but a welcome one
The way his expression immediately changed when Aladdin asked about Jasmine's b00bs

If we're being accurate with Arabian mythology, the djinni would be twisting the wish to do harm to Alladin.
Nah there were different kinds ,some good , some bad and etc
@@spinosaurusstriker I won't lie and say that I know much about Arabian mythology. But I think the concept of good or bad in this case was more about whether the djinn worshipped Allah or followed Iblis. Not so much how they dealt with humans. Course, in my opinion, that's kinda the way monotheism really works.
Also, I think I remember that Allah told both the angels and Iblis to bow before man. So, I think he favors us over the djinn. Again, I'm not an expert. I just have access to small amounts of info and am basing my opinion on that.
@@azazelgrigori9244there are different between Djinns and Genies.
Djinn are real, they are creators from fire and smoke, for Muslims they are like those ghost or evil spirit that possessed people or haunted house since muslims do not believe about that human become a ghost or spirit afterlife in same human world.
But genie are just fictional thing in Arabian Nights stories, it is just could be djinn or Ifrit or animal or real human even by cursed via item to become a powerful magical slave.
The rod of Asclepius was symbol of medicine before they mixed it up for the staff of Hermes.
There was also the Pentagram which was used as the symbol of I believe it was like Jupiter in the Roman Pantheon and I forget her counterpart in Greek. Funnier still, it also saw use in the early church, as certain bishops believed it allowed them to commune with archangels. As for the “goat” depiction many satanists associate with Baphomet, this was an west coast artist’s depiction from the 1900s, whereas the first mentions of Baphomet date back to the first crusades and earlier as a spirit of Justice and Balance, for whom was also worshipped by certain sects of crusaders as their guiding spirit on their war against heretical views.
Historically accurate is a misleading title most Disney stories are based on fictional stories especially a lot from Brothers Grimm. So there's no real actual historic event tied to these stories that can be proven. The only two you could potentially argue are close to history are Tarzan or Pocahontas but even then they're not meant to be dipictions of actual history. If you want a native story that's actually closer to history watch Last of the Mohicans.
In regards to Tarzan, that's based on fictional books by Edgar Rice Burroughs. So there is no potential arguing to be had there.
@@erikjohanson3929 Didn't know that so thanks for the info.
Disney's Aladdin is actually the combination of two stories. The setting is based after Arabian Nights taking place during the Islamic Golden age. And the main about genies and all that closely resembles the Chinese Wish Dragon folklore.
"Genie, I said nothing of love!"
_Very long, awkward pause_
Didn't expect to see flashgitz on here, this can only end well
In a manner of speaking.
Frozen was originally meant to be The Snow Queen which Walt Disney was toying with when making his first film. However the setting of a frozen tundra in an animated feature film in the 1930's was too complicated so that didn't happen and his kids were reading Snow White at the time which he took more inspiration to make his first feature film.
So it was meant to be The Snow Queen but I believe they wanted the sisters to have equal focus in the film and The Snow Queen didn't fit that. Add the fact that it's inspired by so they renamed it.
Also they would have issues with the setting, since they pass through finland in the snow queen - and there is an entire lobby or group getting annoyed if thats not “represented” correctly.
@@Tue_I'm sorry what?
Though it does make one thing funny... Remember Elsagate? Spider-Man x Elsa stuff... 90s Spider-Man was voiced Christopher Daniel Barnes... He was also Prince Eric in Little mermaid... Guess what two stories have the same author
This poor man had no idea what he was getting into
I did not. 🥺
I’m sorry you had to find out the hard way that Flashgitz isn’t classroom safe 😂
“After 12-18 months of Invisalign” has me DEAD💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣
As soon as you said flashgitz I immediately thought, “oh dear god no!” Flashgitz channel is adult animated comedy across the board mostly covering things that are popular in media and internet culture. It’s a great laugh if you have free time and want to turn your brain off for a while, but that’s all it’s really good for.
oh dear, his first venture into this part of animation youtube...
I will never be the same
for the better, right?
5:15 this is actually true. In the original story from arabian nights, Aladin wasnt an orphan, he was the son of chinese merchants
I can't tell you how excited I was to hear you say at the beginning of the video that this content might be something you could potentially show in class and waiting for the enevitable moment when you had to backtrack.
This made my day. So thank you.
I don't think we needed a teacher to tell us that flashgitz is not classroom friendly.
"The channel is called, 'Flash Gits' "...oh...oh no...he doesn't know does he?! oh no...
The realization at 2:20 lol
Another innacuracy in the Pocahontas animation:
John Smith says that he's looking for the Taj Mahal, but Taj Mahal was completed in 1632 and he and Pocahontas first meet in 1607.
I think it was said in the video multiple times.
Same question ask by kid
5:23, in Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp, Aladdin is Chinese (or at least lives in China) but it’s ruled by a Sheik and except for a Jewish merchant who cheats Aladdin every character is Muslim.
Pocahontas and John Smith likely never met.
If they did, Pocahontas would have been 8-10 when Smith arrived in the new world.
John Smith met Pocahontas when he was captured by the Native Americans. It was documented in his writings though with some embellishments but despite that, Pocahontas was well known to the colonists as she befriended its children (as she was a child herself), fed them during the winter, and was kidnapped by the colonists during one of their wars with the Native Americans.
Pocahontas never had a romantic relationship with John Smith however. Instead she married John Rolfe and bore him a child before dying at a young age.
Teehee. I knew this would be nightmare fuel for you, and your reactions are comedy gold
so that took a turn, we watched prince of egypt at school many many years ago, if that counts (okay its not actually disney)
It's not that much accurate to _Exodus,_ but at least they had a disclaimer at the beginning.

Frozen isn’t technically history, but they based it on the book, called The Ice Queen, I believe?
7:47 “She actually did merry an Englishman tho later named John Rolfe.”
*Little did bro know the “creature” on the screen was in fact John Rolfe.* 💀💀
This was one of the best videos RUclips has ever recommended me. Idk why but I bursted out laughing seeing a normal person watch a Newgrounds animation. Glad you enjoyed it rather than be mortified by what you saw.
When I first saw this video, was both horrified by the video you were reacting to, and laughing because of your reactions to the video as well. It was also late at night, so I had to stifle my laughter to the point where I was coughing!
Jinn aren't really pagan anymore. They might have been in the past, but they are fully integrated into Islam. Actually, it says in the Quran that god made three species capable of thought. From dust, he made humans. From light, he made angels, and from smokeless fire, he made Jinn. In fact, there are lots of stories of the jinn even converting to all of the big three religions. So there are even jinn that converted to Judaism and Christianity.
I guess the Alantis movie would've been too easy to make a "It's an expedition of Nazi's" reference. Also Frozen is just Disney's "PG attempt" at the Ice Queen story
You should have a look at Horrible Histories. It was originally a children’s tv show but is crudely accurate!
Want some treppanadol for your head demons?
I foresee great misfortune....for this chicken!
Actually, for Hercules it was because a smaller penis I think was seen as better or more modest, whereas a larger one wasn't seen as modest and often they weren't as respected as the "smaller" men
Oh! I JUST saw these videos a few days ago myself 😂 Bruh they’re ridiculous I’m so hyped for this reaction
Remember Mr. Terry that Hercules depicts Hades poorly in the Disney movie.
Cancel this movie immediately
@@MrTerry
Disney Zeus: kindly, good natured, slightly bumbling father
Disney Hades: cartoonish villain that tries to murder his own nephew
Mythologically Accurate Zeus: incestuous, serial rapist and adulterer
Mythologically Accurate Hades: laid back, faithfully monogamous guy that named his dog Spot and lends said dog to his nephew so said nephew can complete one stage of a multi-part quest
The original kind of basis for Aladdin of a poor boy getting wishes from a genie I do believe originated from china
Maybe. The story is presented in the Arabian nights, and in it they say it takes place in china, but every person in the story and the setting as described are portrayed like a middle-eastern Muslim country. So it is either an Asian tale retold in Arabia or invented there by someone who only knew his own people.
@@antecaveit was originally set in china but when Antoine Galland translated it and put it in arabian nights he changed it to the middle east

Welcome to FlashGitz terry.
Would love to see your reaction to more of their content.
1:18 was expecting a _Amanda The Adventurer_ clip, not gonna lie 😂😂😂
Yeah, I had a history teacher in middle school who hated Disney history too, warned us to avoid it.
And then it brings us to today, when their business practices tell us the same thing, lol.
I'm so glad we have an actual history teacher explaining exactly HOW each one is historically accurate
I just found Flashgitz yesterday.
Jesus he did flashgitz...
The Mythology Guy did an inaccuracy video on the Herkules movie.
Considering that the area from which The Thousand And One Nights tales were compiled was under Caliphate rule, it's actually Sharia rather than Hammurabi which the character is referring to at 3:20
In Disney’s Pocahontas, they made them out to be the same age, and I think they may have kissed, but yes, the impression was they were romantically involved, even though that’s not accurate. So creepy in the real story
If you want funny history clips then you need to watch Horrible Histories, it was a British sketch comedy show for children that taught history in a hilarious way (even the nasty bits). It was so good that it won actual comedy awards, not just kids ones. I’d liken it to Monty Python for kids with a historical theme.
And they have a group of fact checkers to make sure that every thing is 100% true as well, except for a couple of mistakes over the entire long series.
I just saw the thumbnail and thought you trolling, cuz no duh.
This is from the creators of "Racist Mario"
But I'm sure this is a genuine first watch reaction 👏👏
You see for history stuffs you go to oversimplified, for dark humor and a good laugh you go to Flashgitz.
Hi. Just a suggestion for a series set in history that I would love your perspective in. "Murdoch Mysteries" is a Canadian series set in Toronto in the dawn of the 20th century, and they do many fun bits about inventions, politicians and scientists of that era.
As someone who's not from North America I wouldn't really know if the show is totally off in some details, but would be interested in knowing that.
I noticed that the latest series of Murdoch Mysteries have a tone of life going on under the growing shadow of World War I.
First it was a tone of optimistic expectation of the scientific advancements leading to the twentieth century. Then it shifted toward the social issues of the era. Then about 1907-1908, it becomes a countdown to the Great War.
Series 17 has ended on a note that could bring Detective Murdoch to England, and I would hope to see him and Doctor Ogden in Sarajevo for the grand finale.
@MrTerry As far a Disney and historical films go, one you should look into is Victory Through Airpower. It's an animated film based on a book publish in April of 1942 by pilot and Seversky/Republic aircraft founder Alexander P. de Seversky and gives an overview on the birth of aircraft, how they became machines of war, and how strategic bombing could be used to influence the outcome of the then still raging war.
It would be interesting to disect to see how Seversky's theories shown in the film translated into real life practice and how effective they were.
I like how we got like 11 minutes into the video and he finally gives a firm "this will not be shown in class" haha
2:23 - Genie, I said nothing of love!!! lmao >XD Show that in school! :D
4:08 - It's funny, Apu sounds like Homer screaming and Aladdin sounds like Apu! :D
5:25 - Your mother said I could hit you for being autistic! That's hilarious. It's ok for me to say that, I'm an asshole!!*
5:35 - That's not Pocahontas; that's her sister Pocaraccoon!
* and that hole is no longer such as it's filled with burgers!
Yet the stuff allowed in the school libraries these days is just far more obscene in certain cases
Like panflets teaching about buttsex
I'd only seen most of the Pocahontas one before, did not know they had others like that. Wow.
You never expect anything appropriate for school with flashgitz
2:16 the eyebrow squint kills me 😂
This is straight up nightmare fuel 😂
I wouldn't call them historically accurate. More like Grimm's Tales version of Disney movies.
It did remind me of how I had a bunch of Aladdin toys as a little kid, and I scraped the paint off Jasmine's top because I wanted to see her boobs too. I had no concept of the importance of the downstairs bits or nipples, but there was flesh tone paint under the blue, so it was like hardcore porn to my perverted little mind.
I am glad you cleared up the misconception I had about Pocahontas being married off as a child. I thought that had been the case, and that's gross.
I imagine Elsa being burnt at the stake in the Frozen one. I don't think I'm going to watch it though because I didn't really like these that much. I was hoping for an Anastasia one with her and her whole family being gunned down instead of whatever happened in the movie.
I remember Pocahontas was kidnapped from her husband she loved when he was away and she got Gang grape on the ship to England and got treated like a prop when she was married off to another person against her will and she had a child before she was kidnapped and had a gang grape one and no one knew the father of from the grape and she eventually got promised she'd return home and was completely fine the night before they said she would have to wait till the next day to be sent home but was poisoned at supper
Frozen is just based off a book written in the 1600s. The Snow Queen was an allegory for Lucifer so obvious that CS Lewis copied it. I didn't see Frozen but I think they missed that
If that is supposed to be John Smith, then where is his mustache?
I remember watching the console wars from them
"Mr Beast is a cuck." Historically accurate.
It's high time we ruin everyone's childhood with *hard, accurate facts*
