Line 11:
* [[Anachronism Stew]]: Certain movies are shown to have done this, whether out of ignorance, neglect or laziness. Among the more blatant being ''[[Braveheart]]'' which portrays the Scots as a skewered mash of various periods in Scotland's history.
* [[Artistic Licence History]]: Although Nick is something of a sticker for historical accuracy, he also makes a point to emphasize how taking liberties [[Tropes Are Not Bad|aren't necessarily a bad thing at all]]. Done right, it can capture the feel and authenticity of the setting. It's when it's done ''poorly'' that he really takes issue with.
** Films like ''[[Alexander]]'' meanwhile are shown by him to be examples of how a movie can still suck horribly, ''despite'' the commendable effort for being historically accurate.
* [[Author Appeal]]: European (especially Scottish) and Japanese history in general.
* [[Author Avatar]]: Nick is generally depicted on-screen by an cartoon version of himself.
