The people involved in The Good One know historical armor, and how it's supposed to fit, while also knowing how to blend in the fantasy elements that make them pop
The New One just wants to look pretty, while clearly having vastly underestimated the needed budget to make good costumes.
Honestly, I think I've seen some repainted Spirit Halloween stuff.
Granted, a good prop/costume department can make anything cheap look good. I've seen a lot of plumbing parts attached to Sci fi guns. (some ship guns are literally entirely plumbing parts with vfx lasers done in post)
I'd love to see a total breakdown of the expenses. I'd wager the costume department is one of the lowest on the list.
LPT: If you want armor that allows proper motion, you need sliding joints, or narrow areas with less protection. The chest piece should not be flat across the bottom, nor should it come down to your waist. You can't bend properly with the one on the right. Range of motion on the arms is also severely limited, which makes combat basically a death sentence for you since you literally can't move your arms to block high.
Boromir on the other hand, everything allows for greater range of motion. The chest piece flares out once it goes a little past the ribcage, which while probably wouldn't win you any yoga competitions, allows you to bend and ride a horse. The pauldrons are oversized to cover the thinner shoulder straps, so the arms can rotate up properly, and the armor around all the joints slides nicely over itself.
Once you know how to make GOOD armor, you start realizing a lot of modern movies just clearly have no consideration for it. It's all about what looks cool to the average person.
Skallagrim on youtube has some breakdowns of historic accuracy in movies, but he usually focuses on the combat itself. Though every point I've brought up comes up in one way or another during combat.
I'd rather he rots in a state jail for the rest of his life, and give him the same standard of care as every other inmate. No special treatment. If he needs to be put in solitary "for his own protection" then so be it. It's the system people like him loves to protect.
To be clear, I think the US treatment of prisoners is inhumane and bordering on criminal (and all too often crossing said border) and the whole penal system needs drastic change and made entirely nonprofit, and the constitution needs another Ammendment because the 13th was a mistake.
But that's not the world we live in, and the people who crafted this world should be forced to live in it.
I was once semi-surrounded by coyotes while hiking in some back country with a friend.
I did not have anything except my camping knives and a very small axe for splitting kindling.
My buddy had a compact 9mm in his waistband.
Honestly, I can say an AR would not have made me feel safer. A larger capacity on my sidearm, on the other hand, would. The AR is just too bulky to move quickly in close quarters.
Luckily a single round to the trailside was enough to scare them off, since yelling and throwing things wasn't. We then ran/sprinted a few miles down the trail toward the vehicle before we even considered slowing down.
Not many situations in which either one is something I'm desiring though, and while I'm not a fan of limiting people, I can't say I've ever needed 30rds at once. Honestly, I buy 10rd mags just because they fit very nicely in some cases I already had, and the 30rds don't.
It's a little more obvious when you don't live near anyone, and they have to come down dirty country roads to park across from your property on a DWP service road, and pull out binoculars.
I used to grab my own, and wave at them energetically like I was excited to see them if I had to go somewhere.
A lot of people from my area who went out to escorts clinic-goers got the same treatment.
Nobody ever got stopped, but the moment you were seen doing nefarious things like protecting women seeking Healthcare from harassment or worse, you could expect a police tail within 5 minutes of getting behind the wheel, and cops slowly driving by your house at all hours.
Hmm, to keep responding to see how long you drag this out, or leave and give you the satisfaction of some perceived "final word" like you've won something, or have some kind of superior knowledge that you have yet to actually show?
I guess that depends on how petty I feel today. At least as petty as the person I'm responding to, clearly.
Edit: And you're editing your comments after the fact to change what you've been saying. I'm done dealing with simple minded children.
You try to say here you shouldn't need to talk about specifics "because we all know..." but in other comments you backpedal and say you're dumbing it down for others.
So which is it?
I think you just hit "reply" before your brain caught up with your fingers and heart.
Given your demeanor, I'd say you still have awhile to go before you exit "childhood" regardless of what your ID says. Keep going with the baseless personal attacks, surely you're one more comment away from changing my mind?
Have a good one I guess. Keep being angry and responding to everyone calling you out, it's going well for everyone involved.
"these guns that are different than a completely different kind of gun that nobody brought up before this particular comment are completely different!"
Your grasp of the obvious amazes me.
Do you always resort to ad-hominem when called out for thoughtless comments?
It IS more accurate and shoots faster than a gun that's less accurate and shoots slower.
Beyond that, you haven't said anything about it, and you've not only just clearly shown you can't be objective when talking about them, you've given just... So much bullshit and called it "information"
Bullets going faster doesn't mean more damage, or more accuracy. It can mean more penetration into things, but that's not a given.
It has never been banned in any meaningful way country-wide
It has been the front and center firearm of every shooters arsenal on the news whether it was used in the shooting or not, specifically because it cosmetically looks like a military rifle. In fact the most common used things aren't even rifles, but handguns.
Functionally it's no different than several other firearms, some of which even shoot the exact same round, but nobody focuses on those because they look like a hunting rifle.
This country needs mountains of reform, including tons of changes to gun control, but what you are doing is not helping that goal in any way.
I bailed on his channel when he started making comments about the George Floyd protests in his videos. It was always pretty clear what his beliefs are from a religious and political standpoint, but up to then, he never brought it into his videos.
This is the one thing that blows my mind with all the "voting doesn't matter" folks...
If it didn't matter, then why do so many people try to limit who can vote, how you vote, when you vote, who is allowed to be voted on, where you can vote, your voting rights in general, or just plain outright trying to stop you from voting altogether.
And the people going around parroting that voting doesn't matter are either accomplices who also want to prevent you from voting, or USEFUL IDIOTS who genuinely are too dumb to realize that voting does in fact work. (also people who say voting doesn't matter have clearly never voted in a local election)
Sometimes for gits and shiggles, I'll check the one star reviews for things I know are going to trip inexperienced people up.
Like... It's basically the "substituted flour with powdered eggplant and milk with tobacco sauce, 1/10 tasted horrible but I followed the recipe exactly" meme
Especially anything with DIY properties. "doesn't work, connected to the battery and it immediately blew up" when it's clear from the picture they hooked a 48v battery into a 12v speed controller. Or cut some wires they weren't supposed to. Or reversed polarity of an important component. Or....
And rather than admit they fucked it up, they give bad reviews.
I particularly like when the listing is clearly for something that requires assembly, and bad reviews complain it came "in pieces". READ, YOU DENSE MOTHERFUCKERS
And if you see a bunch of bad grammar, and inconsistent specs in a listing.... Maybe don't put too much faith in the $5 item that would cost $100 if you bought it from a licensed and certified source with quality assurance...
All I've ever heard about planet coaster is that it's an unfinished mess that got half-finished with hundreds of dollars of dlc, so hearing another is in the works is kind of like.....
Maybe finish your first helping before getting another slice of pizza?
Man, I really want to play some elite dangerous, now...
the people profiting off shows and podcasts where they do this sort of thing are absolutely immoral, bordering on outright bad. Evil is a bit too intense, but you get the idea. Unless they're donating any revenue to help children, then they're shitty.
The people doing the baiting are only immoral IN MY OPINION if they are the ones to initiate things. If they sit back and passively respond while the guy starts sending dick pics and suggesting they meet to have sex, then it's not immoral in my opinion. When they go into a conversation with "I'm a minor, let's meet for [REDACTED]" then it's still wrong.
Of course, on the other side of the screen, the guy either suggesting or agreeing with meeting up is clearly always in the wrong.
I'm confused as to why the head of state of a country (whose fascist leanings I'll leave to others to speculate about as my own mind is already made up) would bother visiting a normal citizen of the US, considering said normal citizen has no current direct control over anything.
Of course, since I'm a conscious, rational adult capable of critical thinking, and have seen this PM on a world tour of less-than-reputable heads of state, it's pretty obvious, but still.
I definitely had a huge decrease in lung capacity, and I definitely had my sense of taste permanently altered.
And I consider my issues to be mild compared to most people who have ongoing issues.
I know some people, like yourself, who are just in a perpetual state of "sick" and literally just stay locked in their houses all day. I can't even imagine. Shit sucks, and that's the understatement of the year.
