https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7s-Rd2hMwgWhy cant we get real medieval arms and armor in television & film?
>>219319902The Last Duel was pretty good
>>219319917>helmet covers only half of face
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIFpeBwfvbcgirls excited for medieval arms needs to be a bigger thing
All of this is misleading. Historically, no one but rich people had a suit of armor like that. 99% of fighters were just peasants in rags.
Whatever happened to Lindybeige? His channel fell off hard.
>>219321090you fucking retard it was the rich fighting the wars
>>219319902she didn't even put on a codpiece which was part of every 16th century armor
>>219321140he probably snapped while pretending to be decent because he wanted his own way and stamped his feet then beat his wife to death and fled the country
Get on the ball.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cC4V7knwrug
AKOTSK was pretty good all things considered
Because nobody is interested in paying for it.
>>219321140He decided that he now wants to be "historian who spells profound truths" type o' guy. And now travels Ukraine saying how they die for "His safety".
>>219321225N
I
>>219321090Late medieval armies used peasant levies to bolster their armies if they were desperate. In reality medieval armies were a mix of knights and man at arms mounted or dismounted and mercenaries
>>219321225Needs more blood
>>219319902nice set
>>219319902I'm pretty sure the sword was like your sidearm and in reality they were poking at each other with 10 foot pole arms
>>219319902I dunno why movie/tv shows don't just hire reenactors as background characters, they already have historically accurate arms, armor and costumes even tents and stuff.
>>219327822because entertainment isn't for that purpose anymore, to entertain, to give ppl what they want. the industry keeps going to make ppl dissatisfied, launder criminal blood money.
>>219325893Yeah, and all those fancy techniques you see were rarely used in actual war.
>>219329406Because in war you don't fight 1v1, you fight 100v100, fucking moron.
>>219321090Only rich people had full plate, and only in the late medieval period, but practically all the soldiers wore armor. Mostly brigandines.
>>219319902Jesus fucking Christ, because it would be boring as fuck and not fun to watch, are you fucking dense?Same reason SCI-FI movies are WW2 dogfights in space instead of "realistic" instant game over by shooting projectiles from million miles away that can't be avoided, and TV shows portray lawyers as some kind of super-detectives having adventures every episode instead of showing real lawyer life which is 99% writing Word documents and 1% researching boring as fuck law texts.
>>219321090And the primary purpose of wearing elaborate decorated armor by the rich knights was for them to be captured for ransom instead of getting killed if shit went south. Armor simply indicated "I am of rich lineage, don't kill me and my family will make it worth it for you".
>>219330136They didn't have color back then
