"Tombstone is fairly accurate historically. In fact, some of the more unbelieveable scenes (such as Bill Brosius missing Wyatt three times from point-blank range before Earp cuts him in half with a shotgun) are actually documented. The Shootout at OK Corral is portrayed almost exactly as courtroom proceedings have described it. (see some of the excerpts that I have found) The Clantons and McLaurys were deadly rivals of the Earps, and this feud caused many casualties on both sides. The Earps were no angels, and I think that Jarre's script does a good job in getting that idea across."
"Believe it or not, Tombstone is rather accurate historically. Some of the unbelievable scenes, like Bill Brosius missing his shot with Wyatt three times from point-blank range right before Earp, cut him in half with a shotgun, happened to be documented and is real."
Dev, I'm actually extremely surprised your opinion on Tombstone is such as it's always been considered an accurate depiction. Sure, some liberties are taking with the story, by shortening timelines and crafting some scenes, but you're going to get that with any movie based on real events.
Absolutely love the character and there is a lot that can be done with her. I considered her for both a hero and a villain team, but just didn't have the exact right feel for her chemistry with the teams.

Not to get further into this, but NONE of this is about Doc Holliday who is clearly very exaggerated based on all accounts of who he was. But a re-pick was made and Doc Holliday from Tombstone is invalid for now.
Even if you don't believe the long standing internet theory that this character IS James Bond (I don't think it's true but love the idea), there's no denying this character should fit well on a team with Bond.

I had a running conversation with Dev over the last few weeks because I’m pretty confused by what is and isn’t eligible when discussing real people as fictionalized characters. We probably discussed about ten names in total and referenced Wikipedia and just tried to get a feel for what would and wouldn’t be allowed and why and how the rules work.
Obviously none of these ended up being picked in the first few rounds so they aren’t critical to my team, but I wasn’t trying to skirt some rules or anything.
So, no offense taken for calling bullshit on a pick, but just want everyone to know my process for taking anything questionable was to ask and discuss with Dev first.
