Just need help to understand
I'm not an Indian nor know profound knowledge of MB
Loves Indian myths that's why I'm watching the serial
I have already watch an older version of MB, wikipedia
All the necessary characters to get an inkling
Because of that I find differences

Fact 1: wasn't the queen mother father who said until
His daughter life and children are secure that he will let
The king marry her.

Fact 2: wasn't it krishna the one who told kunti that karn was her son.

Fact 3: wasn't it at draupadi swamayar the enmity between karn and ajurn started
Plus, the friendship of karn and duryodhan.

those that I mention are they correct? if not, then please tell the real fact.
If yes, does it matter if there are changes.

This Mahabharat is visually great but has many mistakes than the actual story. To answer your questions:

1: Yes, it is Satyavati's Father who asks Bheeshma to make the promise to not marry and not be the King. It was never Satyavati.

2: Krishna tells KARNA that Kunti is his mother. Krishna tells him so that Karna can change sides and fight with his brothers. But Karna does not change sides in his is loyalty to Duryodhan. Kunti knew that Karna is her 1st son by his golden armor and earrings (that he was born with to protect him). Before the war, Kunti goes to Karna and tells him that he is her son but he tells her that he already knew. Kunti begs him to join his brothers but his loyalty gets in the way, again. For the love of his mother, he gives a promise to her that he will attempt to kill only Arjun but will spare his other brothers. He tells her that by the end of war, she will truly be Mother of 5 sons, as it will be his death or Arjun's.

3: Karna and Duryodhan became friends when Duryodhan makes Karna king of Anga (so that Karna can challenge Arjun). Enmity between Karna and Arjun happens with several degrees. Karna always respected the Pandavas but his loyalty to Duryodhan always pitted him against them, especially Arjun. Karna never hated Draupadi for humiliating him in her Swayamvar because it was always HER RIGHT to choose who her husband will be. Arjun and the Pandavas truly started hating Karna when he humiliates Draupadi during the dice games. He falls under the peer/group mentality and when Kauravas are humiliating Draupadi, Karna joins in. He regrets it greatly afterwards but it was too late to make amends.

I hope this answers your questions.
