With Custer

What Xiao Snake told me was that she had an unforgettable day on Children's Day on June 1: Enjoying the Wonderful Night at the Museum 2 with a group of children.
(By the way, she was worried about the country and the people, and expressed her dissatisfaction enough that a group of children actually ran to the big screen of the movie theater without their parents to stop them.) In
this way, when choosing one of the movie Terminator and the museum, In order to leave, I also chose the museum.
I have already heard the introduction of the first episode, and since the trailer began, I kept lying beside my ear and asked the same sentence: Is it still dark?
Then, when she was nervous and breathless, she kept lying beside my ear and asked another sentence: Is it still dawn?
I have to admit, Snake is right, it's just a kid-friendly movie - it's nowhere near even museum 1. However, many passages are translated, and it is not a burden of puns that children can understand.
As a result, adults are not satisfied, and children are not satisfied.

Back to the topic, Custer.
A few days ago, a colleague recommended me to watch "The Lost Continent", and then I ordered it from Dangdang, and spent most of the day watching it yesterday.
Then today I saw Custer. The part about Custer in The Lost Continent immediately jumped to my head.
This person who may be very important to the Americans and even set up a special national memorial hall is a dispensable person to the Chinese, but I met him twice in a row in two days - in the movie The blond guy who rhetorically and poked his head was particularly ironic. As a killer, his stupidity is really nothing to sympathize with in "The Lost Continent".
Did the writers of Night at the Museum 2 see it the same way?
Record what Bill Bryson wrote in The Lost Continent:

So the Custer Battlefield National Memorial came as a surprise. Not really, the battle wasn't a big deal. The visitor center includes a small but attractive exhibit showing the relics of Indians and soldiers, as well as a terrain model of that battle, and some small light bulbs were used to show the course of the battle. First, a string of blue lights moved boldly down the mountain, and then quickly rushed back up the mountain, followed by a large number of red lights. The blue lights gathered in a cluster on the top of the mountain, where they flickered violently for a while, and then went out one by one as the red lights gathered.
In the simulated demo, the whole time was completely over in just a few minutes: the real situation didn't take much longer either. Custer is an idiot, a murderer, and he deserves it. He originally wanted to kill all the men, women and children of the Cheyenne and Sioux who camped by the Little Bighorn River, but his luck was too bad. Strong far exceeded his estimates. Custer and his party fled to the high ground - where the visitor center is now - but couldn't find any hiding place and were quickly caught up. I went out and climbed a short incline to Custer's last stronghold and looked around.
...
Now, the Castel stronghold is surrounded by black iron fences. Inside, on the ground about fifty yards, were scattered white stones to mark the place where each soldier fell. Behind me, about fifty yards below the other side of the hill, there were two white stones standing together, which seemed to be the place where two soldiers tried to get away but were cut down to the ground. No one knew where the Indians fell or how many, as they took their own corpses and wounded with them. In fact, no one knows for sure what happened there on that day in June 1876, because the Indians had different opinions, and none of the whites were left alive to tell the story. What is certain is that Custer made a huge mistake and sent himself and his 260 soldiers to the dead end.
