* UnfortunateImplications: Brandon describes this problem in all parts of his Patriot review, but it's most pronounced in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkYzLqjjZO4&t=1274s Part 1]] when he talks about the film's portrayal of slavery. By employing PoliticallyCorrectHistory the film, Brandon argues, sends the message that slaves didn't have it that bad.

* MartyStu: In his Patriot review, Brandon states this as a reason why Ben Martin is poorly written. The film's narrative never allows Martin to be wrong, either turning his weaknesses into strengths (i.e. suggesting that his lack of formal military training made him a better commander), having him be inexplicably better than his time (i.e. being a planter who never owned slaves and who worked in the field alongside his free black emplouyees), and having him accomplish impossible feats (taking down dozens of British soldiers in a form of combat that regiment historically excelled in).
