Why do they make movies about comic book characters when there’s so much real history that tell more fantastic but true stories?

That is so true. The South Koreans do both. They make comic books about their heroes (such as Admiral Yi Soon Shin of turtle-ship fame) and then make incredible TV series about them.

I would encourage western entertainment media to follow suit, but our entertainment mavens can't make historical works without saturating it with SJW cr@p and/or porn. They suck.
