International scientific consensus, in the past, had a man murdered for proving the earth orbiting the sun.

Huh? Copernicus died in his home when he was in his 70s. Galileo died of old age as well. Tycho Brahe died from politeness.

Bruno was burned because he was a hermetic mystic and didn't really prove anything significant about the planets.

Well I'm glad Bruno died. Those hermetic mystics had it coming, and not proving anything significant is basically high treason to science, fully deserving immediate immolation!

My point is that although a lot of people want him to be because it fits the narrative, he is a remarkably poorly martyr for science.

No it didn't. The Church was not a scientific body. The basis for their beliefs was not the scientific method, but faith in a literal interpretation of Scripture. Actual international scientific consensus (meaning, the consensus of actual scientists) has never had anyone murdered, if for no other reason than "science" has no body equivalent to the Church empowered or capable to do so, but certainly not for proving a hypothesis.

Scientific racism and the various eugenics movements say hello.
