WHO IS THE DEADLIEST WARRIOR?!?
>>
idk why they put a maori warrior against a shaolin monk, thought a zulu warrior would've been closer 2bh

Their first episode was literally a Spartan vs Ninja because

>uses a drone to drop a bomb on your head, then sends to your mother the footage of you looking at the drone and begging for your life while I needlessly depayed dropping the bomb

That episode was hilarious. It's so fucking stupid that it's funny.

They literally used a Total War mod as their super high tech ultra advanced computer program lmao

Look, you can call me retarded, an idealist, whatever...
but all I'm saying is if you could take a warband of Spartans from 500 BC and train them in modern guerilla tactics they'd be fuckin nuts.
Soldiers today live pampered American lives until they go to bootcamp and get mildly hazed. A Spartan would eat those niggers for breakfast - starved for periods of days; brutally beaten; forced to murder; all before even graduating - I don't think ANY modern soldiers even measure up. Closest may be taliban or something but they have the MENA -15 IQ debuff.
>>
>>18049823
Is it not?
>>
>>18049838
They also had to live with only men and boys and boys would get raped on the regular.
Yes, you are retarded.
Painfully so.
>>
>>18049847
this is a weird one. I always see asserted that anytime there were men doing things exclusively with other men, they must've all been homos. In my experience in real life this isn't the case at all. since we don't have time machines, I would expect most men throughout all of history were probably not horny for manass. they could just fuck women in the butt if they wanted.
>>
>>18049856
It's worse than that.
They'd have their wives shave their heads ffs.

maybe they were just really into tomboys

Is warrior culture overrated as hell?

The Romans themselves associated it Germans and other morons.

>Comanche defeats mongol because murrica
Shut the fuck up. The mongol has the better bow. He has a sword, not a fucking stone club. He has armor. He is the product of millenia of horse archery tradition. He would fucking wipe the floor with a comanche.

I'm still annoyed by how they handled the Jaguar to this day

>Has a Macuahuitl as a mid range weapon and a Tecpatl as a close range one instead of a Tepoztopilli as mid and a Macuahuitl as close, when soldiers didn't even really wield Tecpatl in battle much if at all
>This was presumbly only done so they had an excuse to do a heart extraction on a ballistics gel torso
>Tlahuiztli is just a raw jaguar hide wrapped around the guy with a shitty looking helmet and other garments instead of a proper full body warsuit. Not gonna fault them for not making feather mosaic but at least try to match it otherwise
>Loses to the Zande primarily on the basis of having stone weapons even though the Zande has no armor other then a thin hide shield and obsidian is going to about as effective as steel is against soft targets like flesh and hide

I'll give them points for acknowledging ichcahuipilli exists, though
>>
>>18049816
The only problem was when the non-meathead actors tried to compensate for their lack of muscles by chimping out.

Also Yakzua vs Mafia best episode, simply because it's about two guys in suits trying to visit violence on each other.

That one was kino, although the samurai vs viking was also pretty good too

>After the battle, the experts agreed that the leading factors in the Zande Warrior's victory were his Iron-Age weapons which were better designed to kill than the Aztecs, and that the Zande were more experienced warriors due to the constant warfare from them conquering other tribes. Along with the Aztec's cotton armor providing no protection against stabbing weapons and reluctance to kill his enemies unless they're being sacrificed on the altar unlike the Zande.
Honestly show in general is a complete joke, I took it as gospel as a kid but as an adult its clear that its now just a bunch of ridiculous stereotypes plugged into a made up "super computer" that didn't do shit.

The only advantage a Zande really has is metal weapons, and while those are significant they're not going to allow a naked tribal to triumph over a meritocratically chosen master warrior in full armor who is proficient at all ranges. The only way they could justify that was by leaning into colonial racist stereotypes and depicting the Aztecs as way less advanced and poorer equipped than they really were.

To become a jaguar warrior you had to capture 4 enemy soldiers ALIVE, thats already a pretty tremendous show of ability, but on top of that Aztecs were also basically like spartans and had organized military schooling since they were old enough to pick up a spear. And as for experience the Aztecs were pretty much constantly at war, and against large organized armies not poorly equipped tribes.

I literally saw a video of two Russian soldiers living in a drainage pipe with death bodies

American soldiers are the only ones who live like pampered pussies

We have those today, they are called Chechens. Although they specialize in urban combat.

Holy shit, is that you, Mesoanon? If it's you, I'm glad to see you're still here.
>>
>>18051959
no theres more than one person into mesoamerica here ffs

hes still around though i saw him a few days ago, you can recognize him from his posting style
>>
>>18050954
Chilean cocaine dealers had a special weapon: car bomb
>>
The Spartans, and it's not even close. they were trained from childhood in the agoge, had heavy armor, and were a disciplined phalanx. Terrifying in formation.
>>
>>18050941
I'm not even convinced steel is a advantage here: As I said, obsidian is not going to shatter on flesh or the hide shield the Zande has. There's obviously always a risk of an accident with dropping the Macuahuitl or it being parried and blades breaking that way, but assuming the strikes hit, the Macuahuitl is probably gonna be about as lethal as a steel sword, at least for slashes: It admittedly can't thrust effectively

>>18051959
>>18051964
I actually am Mesoanon, there's just not enough to really talk about with Deadliest Warrior for me to autistically infodump about it for multiple pages

I guess there is if we're talking about Macuahuitls in general and it's effectiveness but I'm too busy to get into that right now anyways

>>18051152
The IRA are literally the largest modern insurgency that had a positive K/D ratio, meanwhile it takes 10-20 talibans to kill a single soviet let alone an american

This show had a pretty ludicrous American bias. I agree, Mongol would have slaughtered.

ALSO, THE GAME WAS FUCKING KINO AND LEGENDS FUCKING BLEW

Different Anon did the Maya have a warrior caste that could have been on the show?
>>
>>18049881
It's telling that the way the pirate one was to somehow incapacitate the knight to the point where the pirate could lift his helmet and shoot him in the face. The knight should have won for sure
>>
>saddam hussein vs pol pot
The episode itself was underwhelming, but the concept is just so kino that it will always be one of my favorites. Same for SS vs Viet Cong

What do you guys think about Dequitim?
