So was this a good or bad ending?

>It is estimated that during the initial Spanish conquest of the Americas, up to eight million indigenous people died, primarily through the spread of Afro-Eurasian diseases, wars, and atrocities. The population of Indigenous Americans is estimated to have decreased from approximately 145 million to around 7–15 million between the late 15th and late 17th centuries, representing a decline of around 90–95%.

Inaccurate ending. The Mayans had declined far before the Spanish showed up and no longer lived in their urban city centers. On the flip side, the protagonist would've been made a vassal of the conquistadors because the Mayans themselves fought against the Spanish for centuries.

Neither, it was just a context shift. You get so enmeshed in this world of savages from tribe A against savages from tribe B and then the film goes "It doesn't matter.... nonea this matters" because events beyond any of their comprehensions are in motion. Kind of a reminder of the dramatic irony, with a sense of like cosmic futility.

If it wasn't the Spanish, it would have been someone else. If the Brits or Chinese had reached them first, they would have died at the same scale or maybe even worse, it would have been 100%. If anything is to blame, it's their candyass immune systems

The Chinese would never have colonized the Americas. Their biggest ships weren't seaworthy and could only hug the coasts.
