>most people think of the armet when it comes to medieval helmets, which completely covers everything
>WWI helmets people either think of the Stalhelm or the Brodie, which only cover the top of the head and neck
Lucas Barnes
There are plenty of open face medieval helmets though.
Carson Rodriguez
For men at arms. Not for knights
Lincoln Martinez
And there were more helmets than the Stalhelm and Brodie, but those are what people think of so that's what you see in movies because people are retarded.
Luis Barnes
Even though Braveheart wasn't the most accurate in some parts, I really enjoyed seeing the use of more realistic weapons, armor, colors and tactics. And Monty Python, even though it's a comedy, also did ok with armor and colors. But yea, all modern stuff has slowly devolved into the grey and brown mess with no helmets and only swords. And more fire arrows, of course
Michael Moore
Ahh, the halberd
A more elegant weapon of a more civilized age

>there will never be a epic about Charlemagne
Chase Johnson
Just open the helmet's visor if you want to show the actor's face.
Michael Adams
There's a big shortage of High Middle Ages kino.
The Carolingian Empire, the Heptarchy, the Formation of the Holy Roman Empire all are great stories with a lot of material to make great films
Thomas Lee
The halberd is the weapon of the common soldier. Poleaxes were the weapons of nobility.
Ryan Peterson
>knights are stereotypically English instead of French
Dominic Cooper
Literally just a fancy version of the halberd they adopted because the knights were dying to men at arms with halberds all the time.
Cooper Gutierrez
Charlemagne wasn't in the High Middle Ages. He was Early Middle Ages. There's a big shortage of any historical Middle Ages kino. Otto the great's forming of the Holy Roman Empire would be kino, certainly.
Ryan Young
retard knights are from all of Europe
Lincoln Lewis
I hope someday someone makes realistic medieval kino. I like comfy medieval kino but I want to see what it was really like.

Heh nothing personnel

Bad teeth is more of a modern phenomenon, caused by a modern diet.
Jaxson Smith
chivalry originated in france but 90% of knights in movies talk with some gay middle english accent
Grayson Turner
This has been debunked
Blake Bell
Middle Ages are included in the definition of modern in this case. Peasants raised on grain are weaker with worse dentition than hunter gatherers and nomads.
Mason Bell
Shut up retard
Otzi had awful tooth decay and was barely in his 30s
Jack Bailey
So? It literally doesn't matter
Austin Williams
>Charlemagne wasn't in the High Middle Ages
You're right, my mistake.
Yeah, there's such a dearth of Middle Age films, but then you remember why.
Kingdom of Heaven was not only historically inaccurate to the extreme, but it featured a heavy handed modern political message completely out of place with the setting.
The Last Duel took a fascinating historical event that's almost folklore no France that relates to justice, innocence, the waning of chivalry and what it meant to a "Medieval #MeToo".
We want medieval films, but all we'd get is more zog propaganda with niggers filling the screen
Outlaw King was great though
Adrian Butler
France lost it's status as the seat of chivalry with Agincourt
Michael Mitchell
>Wears full plate armor
>Still use a shield
I hate this
Colton Allen
Pretty sure France ended up winning the hundred years war
John Williams
Me too.
Even in fantasy video games, I can't use a shield if my character has plate armor.
What I'm using the shield for? Defending my armor from scratches?
Adrian Miller
Is it any good?
Adrian Turner
Yeah, with cannons
Carson Young
He is dated to the copper age post-widespread agriculture.
Jace Adams
For me its dual wielding a sword/shield alongside a shield, stealing my opponent's shield, and stabbing him in the dick.
Henry Anderson
And?
Knights dont use longbows either
Nolan Sullivan
You’ll want to have a shield. Getting hit in armor is better than getting hit without armor. Taking the hit on the shield is better than get hit in armor. Is that not logical?

Asher Russell
And that's kinda the whole point
The Knighthood of France failed against the worst of England. Saint Dennis' sword broke under the arrows of Saint George.
By the time the war ended chivalry and feudalism were on decline, tactics and technology had changed the battlefield
There's wasn't any Knightly Spirit to be won back
