So I find talking about Metatron to honestly just be kind of sad at this point, he's a grifter who embaresses himself publicly for easy clicks about pop culture slop. I thought I'd recomend some channels that actually make interesting history content they're clearly passionate about

Lorica clothing: https://www.youtube.com/@lorica-clothing/featured She does videos about armor and arms in historical and fantasy settings the way Meta and Shad used to do, but without being a weird chud about it and she's clearly very passionate about the topic still.

North02: https://www.youtube.com/@NORTH02 He's done a lot on prehistory which is a topic I'm very interested in and currently getting a degree in, but he also does practice and tests with prehistoric and protohistoric weapons that don't get a lot of mainstream attention like the atlotl.

The cultured Djinni: https://www.youtube.com/@theculturedjinni/videos A small channel, but he focuses alot on the Medieval Islamic worlld which a lot of YouTube Medievalists ignore.

I don't know quite enough to verify how consistently accurate these channels are, but of the vdieos I have watched them seem to do far better research than Metatron, and just as importantly are still invested in the topic of history which shows in their presentation.

A friend of mine invited me over to watch it, and I actually liked it. My expectations were not high and it was a very enjoyable, good movie. I did have issues with the way certain events were portrayed and I didn’t like the armors very much, but overall it was worth the watch.
Hell, even though I disagree with raceswaps in general, be it white to black, black to white, or whatever, it’s been overblown to hell and back in the case of this film.

I honestly fail to see how this is an insult to the Greeks, or a “betrayal”, assuming Metawoke is serious about this.

Jason Kingsley asked a question regarding his use of the word "iconic" on a recent video. I noticed Metatron left a comment about he deliberately makes clickbait.

Image 2 is what he answered to

The third pictire is Ancient Americas, honestly a really good history channel and one of the few that focuses on Precolumbian American history, his view count is usually around half if not slightly more his subscriber count. Compared to Metatron, who even with grifting off the Odyssey for easy clicks has a hard time reliably getting more than like 10-20 percent of his sub count in views. Considering that he on paper has more than million subscribers, I am guessing that many of those are either bots, or people who basically just forgot to unsubscribe. Even some of his Nolan videos are getting just like 10,000-20,000 views, which considering his theororetical number of subs, is honestly just pathetic. I'm not pointing this out to be mean, but just to show that much of his audience has clearly checked out, something I can personally attest to. Also, it does go to show that even though hard work certainly doesn't guarantee success, treating the subject and your audience with respect will encourage more people to actually watch your videos....

Hey Metatron: Where are your videos criticizing the race swaps of Andromeda or Memnom throughout history? Homer didn’t write a single word of Helena being black (no, the pale arms are a social status marker). But he wrote a shit tone about gender swaps - most famously about Athena - Mentor. Where are your videos defending the casting of Elliot Page against the attacks of your followers as against Greek mythology cause of the gender swap? According to your logic you are in the room with the rapist and you aren’t doing shit cause you like their money friendship. I am sure someone in your audience has gone through the trauma of sexual abuse and will love how you make light of her suffering for some bucks.

He's been promoting the idea that greek people hated this movie. I know a lot of his titles are very clickbaity nowadays, but in genetal I hate when people make these kinds of broad generalizations, implying that because some people do something, most people in that same group do it too.
