It won’t happen. Christians will fight endlessly to protect the positive and completely false image of the man.

It’ll be easier to make a single film which would be put on Christian ban lists which will make it much more widespread and popular than any historical movie.

Christians aren’t fighting for this. Remember there are over a billion Christians who don’t care about him at all. It’s really weird that you are making that association.

Catholics and the massive amount of weirdos that call correct history lessons “woke” mostly fall under the Christian umbrella. They all defend Columbus Day.

Roman Catholics are over 1 BILLION people. I wouldn’t generalize their views like this. The majority likely dont care about Columbus.
