Why dont we ever see Poleaxes being used by Men-at-Arms and Knights in Medieval/Fantasy films and tv shows?

why were all these people too retarded to invent guns?
Jason Thompson
Like most things, whites had to wait for asians to invent a key thing. In this case, gunpowder.
Dylan Phillips
first they needed gunpowder to come from China
it began appearing in European conflicts at the end of the 1300s and some areas quickly adopted it like Italy while others were quite slow to adopt it like England where the War of the Roses was fought mainly with bow and bill
the early hand gonnes were very crude, imprecise, and dangerous
and were used in a mix with other existing weapons
Jack Johnson
>why were all these people too-ACK NO IM SORRY NIGEL PLEASE TAKE MY TEA AND MY MONEY AND MY WIFE
Wyatt Smith
how do you do that and not lose a finger
Hunter Cox
I don't see how that could possibly occur outside of the entire contraption just exploding
Grayson Morales
>whites had to wait for asians to invent a key thing
Can you give me an example of that other than gunpowder?
Tyler Smith
Is this from a vidya game? Looks good.
Kevin Morgan
Imagine slaughtering chink bugs for a living, god damn I wish I lived back then.
Josiah Bailey
what happened in 1530
Daniel Moore
you are sticking the burning wick straight into the hole that contains gun powder
upon contact the gunpowder explodes
there is no time for you to pull your hand away
Ryder Nelson
Guns sucked back then. Until pic rel came out, they were just a fancy gimmick. And even then, these things were completely useless if it was rainy or humid.
Asher Martinez
Just looks like a two-handed broadsword.
Oliver Jenkins
They briefly fell for the claymore meme before returning to forme.
Colton Watson
same reason you still see retarded combat rolls and shit like that: hollywood writers and directors are normalfags who don't care about cool stuff
Ian Sullivan
why do they think uselessly bashing plate armor with a sword looks cool?
Dylan Reed
It's not useless in their movies, armor is just for looks and doesn't do anything. Any sword slice or poke is an instant kill through the thickest of plate plus chain mail unless they decide there needs to be a dramatic moment.
Angel Roberts
the sword has a romance to it like a cowboy's revolver. A poleaxe is a weapon you take to a battlefield. A medieval incel would take one to axe up his school after the medieval FBI grooms him into doing it.
Daniel Harris
i imagine someone tried, but it turned out that poleaxe use isn't cinematic
Kevin Sanders
>blackpowder and gunpowder rely on entirely different chemical compositions to generate the explosion
>people still insist it's stealing from asians
I'm asian and I hate this shit. Europeans made something entirely different from blackpowder because surprise, europeans can also invent shit and innovate too
Dylan Cook
by the time this style of late period armor came out they did have guns go read about pike and shot formations
Blake Fisher
Because you are a faggot and i fucked your mom. Thats just my two cents, god i love Any Forums.
Luke Rivera
itd prolly be more combined arms anyway which could be pretty kino
Joseph Edwards
wick is long for that reason champ
Isaiah Thompson
better yet just hire THE SELF-PROCLAIMED BROTHER OF JESUS CHRIST to do it for you:
