Do you think historical accuracy matters much in modern entertainment

Gods of Egypt 2016
Little Mermaid live action 2023 trailer Disney

So Gods of Egypt first, it bombed so not like it was that big a hit. But from studying history, ancient Egyptians seems like it was a own hybrid race thing on same level hispanics are. Brown in skin, most atleast some had pale skin but most were brown. While Nubians are more looking like the modern day Africans of Central, West and South one.

So enough of the ethnic talk from me. Point is. Movie would say, is not historically accurate


Now about Little Mermaid, a Danish fairy tale. Some say its supposed to take place in Caribbean, but some say she is described as white with blue eyes. Not read the book so have no clue.

Point is... do you think people nowadays cares that much about historical accuracy in entertainment? Or do they just want to be entertained and see if its good or not?

If you are looking for accuracy, a documentary may be a better bet than a fictionized story.
