There is a Romantic Era fantasy of places like Hawaii that persists to this day. One of the most famous places in Hawaii is the Nuʻuanu Pali Lookout point. On this place, the battle of Kalelaka'ane (leaping off of the anae'fish) took place. It refers to pushing men off a cliff during battle. It was a big win for King Kamahameha, the monarch of Hawaii. The history of any place is fraught with war and turmoil. The visitation of Europeans is no different.

People have a tendency to view the mindset of past civilizations through the lens of their comfortable existence and contemporary values and ideas. The worst people pass judgment without doing at least some of the intellectual work to try to build a framework through which to try to understand past attitudes, they are called Self Righteous.

Cook was frustrated by lack of progress (and possibly stomach issues) on his last sojourn.
On Cook’s last departure from Hawai’i (after the Lono festival) one of the ships needed immediate repair so the group returned to Hawai’i and this action was objectionable to the inhabitants of the island. Tensions arose and threats were made from both sides. Burial ground wood was used by the sailors for fire then a longboat was taken by the islanders in retaliation. Cook began to take the king hostage, two chiefs and a wife objected, a fight ensued on the beach and Cook was killed.
Cook didn’t arbitrarily overstay his welcome from some mercurial mood swing as the writer and this goofy announcer intentionally mis-report. He returned for an emergency refit. The other actions of the crew and captain (firewood, hostage taking)weren’t so adept which led to his death.

Identity politics is huge today, its all race, race, race. When I was a kid in the 70s, he simply was an explorer who discovered new lands for Europe. Even the British part was largely a side note. There wasn't so much emphasis on which group (today) is owed by which group (today), through genetic consignment.
I like the old days better

You can't erase #history just because you don't agree with something, I think that is foolish to do, we can try to learn to do better.

Captain Cook was a great explorer, just like we have people now that want to go to other planets and other places in the world. We should learn the best we can from history and not change the bad to make the future better. If we failed to learn from history, it’s true we repeat it. Diseases and other bad things and invasive species still travel the world today at a much quicker pace eradicating history is a bad thing.

Every historical story should be told from as many perspectives as possible. That way, everyone has a say, and those of us hearing the stories can gain a better understanding, especially from the perspective of the native peoples.
