As a Spaniard, if I had to summarize our history it'd be:

"Empire thinks itself invincible, is repeatedly proven wrong, refuses to listen."

0:02 The producers of "El Dorado" were so american that they gave the Spanish conquistadores ships with the Portuguese crosses.
That red cross is a militar order of high importance in Portugal

You left out "Found lots of Platinum, didn't recognize it as valuable, and either threw it away or tried to use it to debase gold coins. Platinum supply gets dumped in the ocean".

There is a quote (maybe apocryphal) from Bismarck that goes: "I believe Spain is the strongest country in the world. It has been trying to destroy itself for centuries but still hasn't succeeded."

Unlike Britain, when Spain came to plunder booty they meant it literally

As a Filipino who lives in a country which now barely holds on to remnants of the strong Hispanic heritage we used to have, I can confirm that this is accurate.

We weren't own by Spain, we (as Spanish virreinatos) were Spain

There are some mistakes in this video:

First of all Spain didn't slave the natives. Many laws were made up when America was discovered so that this wouldnt happen. (Such as the "Leyes de Burgos").

Its estimated that about 60% of the gold founded in the new territories was invested in them, creating the first universities and cathedrals. (The First university in America was the "Universidad de Ciudad de Mexico").

I call them territories because they were never colonies as you said, they were treated as "birreinatos" sub kingdoms of the empire were all the laws of the empire were applied. Not like French and English colonies.

Funny meme and all, but the spanish empire didn't have slaves, it was illegal from the get go. The Queen Isabel the Catholic forbid it in June the 20th, 1500 (only 8 years after the discovery of America), so the slavery going on in the empire was illegal. Columbus for example enslaved natives, and he was hold accountable for it by the Queen (meaning that yeah, some slavery could've been going on let's say in the "private" sector, but it wasn't backed up by the institutions, quite the contrary). The main focus of the Spanish Crown was to convert them all to catholicism and therefore, accept them as equals (with the result of being able to marry them, and that's why there is so many mixed people in latin america, unlike in the anglo sphere, where mixing is still seen as very jarring). Some people talk about the encomiendas as a form of slavery, but it's like saying that a modern day wagie is also some kind of slave, or that a medieval servant is also some sort of slave (in fact if I remember correctly, an encomienda is a feudal institution similar to the medieval servitude). So no, they weren't slaves, technically speaking, although of course, on the practice, they could've been kinda similar.

Also, those territories weren't actually colonies in the english way, with a different, inferior status, but equal to the mainland (meaning that the same laws applied, and there was actually a lot of investment, building cathedrals and universities). They were called Virreinatos, translated as "viceroyalty", more like a province of the empire, equal to those provinces in mainland Spain.

This common misunderstanding of history is in part due to the english way of understanding the spanish empire, and the way they teach it, projecting their wrong doings, which is basically commiting mass genocide against natives or segregating them in reservations, and trading with slaves on the regular and on the open (all of it very strongly racially based, btw, unlike most forms of slavery throughout history). They assume all the empires at the time were doing the exact same, where the spanish one wasn't at all. And the best thing is that they always talk about them being the ones that ended slavery and fought against the world for that, when they were the ones in the western world that benefited the most from it, lol.
