You say common, but I actually cant name a source for these portrayals besides the one.

I think it's just become so stereotypical that people forget that Thermopylae was fairly realistically covered in historiography, though in fairness, people have been complaining about the Thespians not getting their due for centuries.
You know if that is the case, I'd want to create another. But instead of male strippers, have them as Jojo characters and have them pose. That or as Baki characters.
They really aren't are they?

Well, the Ballad of the Alamo boasts that "Thermopylae had her messenger of defeat, but the Alamo had none", but actually Thespiae had no messenger of defeat at Thermopylae, the Thespians fought to the last man and were all killed in their places. And they get remembered for their drama.

Lennin was all for starving millions of people, he just never got the chance.
The Soviet demoralization plan would have worked like a charm had not the soviets inevitably imploded. It's still the thing overwhelmingly fucking up our culture today, just think how bad things would have been with a few more decades of the reds funding hollywood and the left.
Really when you get right down to it he went out of his way to help someone he had no reason to, and yet people remember him as a coward for doing more than anyone to help.

I was referring to the first half of my statement. Many tend to forget that Leonidas fell alongside those who weren't Spartans. Most think it was just them that held the pass for two days, not the thousands of others who also served valiantly.

No more of a coward than Peter The Apostle who would definitely have been tortured and/or executed had he admitted to the people saying he was who he was
Even if he did declare Jesus innocent, the Jews were being “braver” than usual in front of the Roman Occupation and insisting on it a lot. Don’t think he wanted to deal with the trouble brought about by them banding together, even if it’s not about Israeli Independence.

Well thats kind of what he signed up for.
I mean, he didn't actually condemn him, he just stopped protecting him after he ran out of excuses and tricks.

Expect a man to stand up for certain principles and honorable and holy promises in the face of death? People are flawed and weak, he chose to be better later
He did essentially say it was the Jews’ fault when he washed his hands in front of them
Say, did Jesus actually speak fluent Roman or Italian to Pontius?

Latin is what your thinking and i doubt it. Pilate likely spoke Aramaic(local language).

I think Jesus suddenly speaking fluent Latin whilst Pilate tried speaking in the language of the locals’ more impressive
It’s like expecting some unwashed low intellect uneducated foreign commoner, only to get someone much smarter than he first appeared

Considering he himself would disagree with your passing off his betrayal, I dont think you have solid ground to stand on.

Yep he was killed later on for it and demanded an upside down cross. Because he didn't feel he was good enough to be killed like Christ.

He was still a preacher
Which always makes me laugh when I see the upside down cross being presented as Anti-Christian in media, or people wearing it around their necks. It is a symbol of Christian humility, kek.

Isn’t it associated with Satanism?

That's the upside-down crucifix.

Actual Satanism? Not really. Edgy kids who think turning cross upside down is rebellious as hell? Absolutely.

From what I know regarding Satanism, it’s really fucking complicated a religion that values a sort of “freedom” that looks to have frankly weird morals instead of simply Evil is Good and Good is Evil
