But I can't argue against dude if he finds the depiction inaccurate (which they certainly are) or offensive (subjective).

These super-extreme, awesomely violent movies full of shock and kinetic energy tend to not send up my red flags because they're about the visceral experience more than the accuracy.

One could argue Gibson IS going for more accuracy by using the ancient language though. One could also argue, like you did, that the characters are developed in a sympathetic manner (Jaguar Paw certainly is... but the rest you might have to be a bit of an apologist for).

I just know I wanna watch it again. Over and over. Because it's so fucking awesome.
