That is what you get for hiring troony costume designers who don't understand anything about armor, but simply think the nose guard is a decoration.
Yes exactly. It is like people who don't know basic nature like only male deer have horns etc. They're city people who have no idea about real history and practicality.

The nose guard is too short for whatever person it was initially made for, the nose guard.
See pic related to see how long it is compared to the design they went with. Nobody has that short nose, not even hobbits, it has nothing to do with having different size heads.
now post some historical helmets that didn't have any noseguards at all. a helmet doesn't need a noseguard that actually protects the nose.

The true, nose guard isn't necessary a nasal helmet is simply a type of helmet.
Regardless, I haven't ever seen a helmet with a "ceremonial" nasal guard, either they would have a proper nasal guard or not one at all.

>if you are gonna watch or not
Last tv shows I watched was game of thrones season 5 and I suppose Chernobyl miniseries. Then I dropped it and dropped tv and films in general, for the most part.
Part of the problem is that the designs are all over the place. Granted there is a lot of territory in the second age, but still, it doesn't feel tied together.
You have this Mediterranean style going on in Numenor that feels somewhat cheaper and lesser than PJ's Third Age Gondor, while it should be the opposite. And you've got that guy in blue and red robe dressed like some arthurian wizard living in a stone tower.
Then you have the elves, some are more typical of what we know like Gilgalad, others look very different like the Elrond the pixie boy. Galadriel just looks human to me, e.g. that girl could have played Eowyn in the trilogy.
And of course there is the buzzcut black elf. Whatever.
The hobbits seems to have this weird made-up Louisiana swamp voodoo identity.
The orcs costumes we've seen are ludicrous, it's like the Hobbit's dwarf beard patterns all over again, each sillier than the last.
You have this way too much thought, it looks like shit because they didn't even think twice/know about any of the stuff you just said..they hate Lord of the rings, they have Europe and its culture, they hate Europeans, they hate Tolkien, and they love trans kids and homosexuals so why the frick did you bother typing all this out? Could have just said "because they don't know shit about lotr or even costume design for that matter" or just not responded at all because that question was rhetorical.
Modern media isn't intended as entertainment, it's intent is to spread racial unrest and hatred and other political messages as well as demoralize and ruin a pillar of western culture (LOTR) which will now always be associated with this garbage, and they just torch all the money/put it into their own pockets and print more, crashing the dollar.
This has less than nothing to do with Lord of the rings or anything like that. This is just ugly political maneuvering.
And how is a fricking $1B budget for some crappy TV show a good thing? Gas is fricking 10 bucks a gallon and the world is falling apart but somehow billions spent on dressing blacks up like medival knights is money well spent? This entire thing is absolutely fricking disgusting top to bottom.
I can't get over how different Numenorean society looks, at least aesthetically, compared to Gondor's. Gondor's society is a direct continuation of Numenor'sm just less impressive as time goes on. Yet Numenor seems to have had radically different clothes, armor, and architecture. Not to mention the Numenoreans themselves seem much more Mediterranean in terms of complexion, whereas Gondorians are clearly north-western European.
Because the people making this show don't care. Zero people involved are passionate about Tolkien or his works. All of them are post modernists atheists. They can't possibly understand anything about this world. To them, it's just another Marvel franchise to milk while using it as a vehicle to push their nihilistic, globohomosexual worldview even more.
You guys are posting this so much that I might actually watch it. If Cinemaphile capeshitters hate this flick so much, we might be looking at another synder situation.
>we might be looking at another synder situation.
Wtf does that fricking even mean? This is an Amazon product made by pedophiles. Why would you watch it?
if the helmet was just ceremonial, it would be fine. if the wearer simply didn't like a functional noseguard and insisted on it being shortened, the design would still be fine. you don't have to either have a functional noseguard or none at all. having a dysfunctional one is fine, as logn as it doesn't get in the way.
fricking HEMAgays.
We all know that your thoughts haven't entered the minds of the trannies who designed this piece of shit, and that they designed this helmet without having a fricking clue how design and functionality can be joined together in an armor piece. The fricking lack of SOUL is glaringly obvious compared to the SOUL they put into LotR
no, im aware of the state of mind of the people behind this. but im also aware of the state of autistic HEMAgays and dabbing on these buttholes is always a good idea.

dubs of truth. the whole things stinks. i don't understand why amazon would pay so much cash for the rights to lotr and then shit all over the lore. are they really so out of touch with regular human beings that they cannot understand why people want canon respected?
The trailer made me sick. It shouldn't be affecting me this much, but it's really gotten to me.
I can't believe these wretches feel entitled to mutilate the lore in such a cheap and tawdry way.
>Be me try LARP >Total homosexual who got into it >Didn't want to wear a helmet because all my favorites don't >Get my shit pushed in and afraid to get into skirmishes because of bonks on the head hurt >Finally wear a helmet and the results are totally different.
If hard foam weapons can frick a persons shit up being a total homosexual LARPING than charging into battle without a helmet makes no sense.
>literal real armor
This is a lot of the reason why movies used to be good.
Lord of the Rings is a great example.
But it goes for most great films.
Take Jurassic Park, yeah, the dinos were CG but everything else was 100% real. It was like a documentary film almost going to this location and exploring the theme park. Same thing with middle earth, all real sets/shot on location/real metal armor costumes/etc.
Meanwhile I don't think there was a single thing I've seen from this show that wasn't CG, even the negresses undershirt in the OP. It's all just sterile, ugly garbage.
I'm sure some LITERAL pedophile will disagree with me and say sterile CG that looks like shit is a good thing, but we all know they're mentally ill and/or being paid to disagree with me.
Frick, they should have learnt from Thor that brown skin + golden eyes doesn't look good. This and that kid from the newest Thor movie give me nightmares.

Yeah, I love his stuff. I recently discovered that Numenoreans couldn't grow any facial hair. This also extended into the third age where those with strong Numenorean blood. Meaning Elendil, Isildur, Imrahil, Boromir, Faramir and Aragorn didn't have facial hair. Tolkien revealed this is a letter so some fan that asked more in detail about the fellowship's appearance. The fricking autism to hide such an important detail in a random letter.

It's a retcon anyway. Círdan has a beard and the statue of the Gondorian king at the crossroads in Ithilien was carved with a beard even though all the kings of Gondor had strong Numenorean blood.
Did Denethor have a beard? Apparently Boromir and Faramir are beardless because their mother was the sister of Imrahil. Cirdan's beard is the one exception, wonder what Tolkien thought about it.

In that same letter, Tolkien said that Denethor didn't have a beard, which is odd since his appearance is contrasted with Gandalf's and he is said to look more like a proper wizard.

Correct. It is from the time and place Tolkien liked to base his works on. Would be awesome to see an adaptation that had that aesthetic, sadly that won't be happening anytime soon.

Lol, lmao even.
The average consumer of this drivel has no idea that a nose guard exists or even the concept. They just know it's a helmet like they've seen in other shows.
Well said friend. We are all an empowered black woman. We all owns local businesses that deserve support because of our skin pigmentation.
Ich bien ein black woman.
Roman helmets lol wasnt nasal helmets( not even looking that youw pic had a fricking metal mask) They used cheek plates to cover the face from hits to make better fitting helmets positions for long battles and to see better in fights. Also for special tech see the open ears and back neck cover of helmets. Romans was hightech in this regard.
Roman helmets were pretty based. The result of iterative design over centuries of conflict, they're probably close to as good as it's possible to make such a helmet for the purpose they served.
Almost 100% chance they are better than almost every single medieval or early renaissance helmet ad hoced together by some random member of a secretive guild that jealously hoarded all their innovations from every other guild.
But they were. Its light, durable, fits like a glove and my friends recreators told me its like not wearing helmet at all, can run in it whole day and dont feel a thing. But only problem is that it has low defence from blunt trauma. That thing was solved only after they made gorget that helped to transfer force and weight to shoulders.
Romans just never needed that.
Sadly most of the production lines were trashed or lost so we ended up with cheap bootlegs.
what is the budget of this series? why do they cheap out in giving actual armors and making backgrounds more believable? i fricking hate this over use of CGI, feels so soulless
The issue is not that there is a black person but that nowadays every evil character in every production is white and straight while heroes always have to be a minority in some shape or form. This country has become so obsessed with race that it can't stop being racist, going form an extreme to the other every fifty years.
exactly. people would shit themselves if there was a film about for example Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Billie Holiday etc. etc. and they were played by white people, but for some reason if someone calls out how fricking moronic it is to have all these historically white people depicted as POC, you are somehow a chud and incel and "seething over a fricking movie bro"
lmao half of these "white people" are fictional characters, but all of the black people you list where real people and all but one of them were literally black rights activists so it would make no sense to cast white actors for them. Its entirely irrelevant to their respective story what skin color Guinevere or Lancelot have, though.
There are plenty of reasons to believe that Julius Caesar was a fictional character, and not a real historical figure. For one thing, there are no contemporary sources for Caesar's life. The first mention of him comes from a historian writing over a hundred years after his supposed death. And even then, there are no firsthand accounts - all we have are secondhand accounts, based on stories that were probably already being embellished and exaggerated.
Another reason to believe that Caesar was fictional is that the events of his life are just too incredible to be true. His military campaigns, in particular, seem more like something out of a novel than real history. And then there's the fact that many of the details of his life were borrowed from other, earlier stories. For example, the story of Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon is very similar to a story from Plutarch's Lives, which was written centuries before Caesar is supposed to have lived.

There is a lot of evidence to suggest that Julius Caesar was based on a solar deity. For one thing, his name contains the root "caes-," which means "shine" or "bright." Additionally, he was born on the summer solstice – the longest day of the year – and his family name, Julii, can be traced back to the goddess Juno, who was associated with the sun.
Caesar's connection to the sun is further reinforced by his accomplishments. He was a great military leader and conquered many lands, much like the sun "conquers" the night. He was also a brilliant politician and orator, and was known for his charisma and ability to persuade people – again, much like the sun. In fact, one of Caesar's nicknames was "Sol Invictus," or "Unconquered Sun."

Looks like israeli hošen shit.
The Amazon logo over it just completely sucks any fantasy or charm from the lord of the rings title, its like a corporate costume party
that helmet looks like it would be an heirloom
So why does Miriel have some kind of 'foreign' accent but Elendil just sounds British?
You guys are posting this so much that I might actually watch it. If Cinemaphile capeshitters hate this flick so much, we might be looking at another synder situation.
>he caves to the shills
Don't do it! I hear that one who compromises their principles for the sake of contrarianism pisses blood for thirteen days!
>we might be looking at another synder situation.
Wtf does that fricking even mean? This is an Amazon product made by pedophiles. Why would you watch it?
Do these fricking designer trannies really think a nose guard is just some aesthetic feature without a function? Jesus fricking christ
many people have gone into battle without a noseguard, throughout the centuries
That does nothing to invalidate the argument though. There's a noseguard designed for this helmet without realizing what it's there for.
if the helmet was just ceremonial, it would be fine. if the wearer simply didn't like a functional noseguard and insisted on it being shortened, the design would still be fine. you don't have to either have a functional noseguard or none at all. having a dysfunctional one is fine, as logn as it doesn't get in the way.
fricking HEMAgays.
We all know that your thoughts haven't entered the minds of the trannies who designed this piece of shit, and that they designed this helmet without having a fricking clue how design and functionality can be joined together in an armor piece. The fricking lack of SOUL is glaringly obvious compared to the SOUL they put into LotR
no, im aware of the state of mind of the people behind this. but im also aware of the state of autistic HEMAgays and dabbing on these buttholes is always a good idea.
>The fricking lack of SOUL is glaringly obvious compared to the SOUL they put into LotR
PS the books are great but Hackson's trilogy fricking sucks, man

Try again shitavius, your copes grow weaker by the sweaty post.
yeah when it suffers any shock and collapses the bridge of the gorillanose its worse than having none at all
do you even know what it's for?
just admit that props made for humans look dumb as frick on apes
They did it so viewers can still see her face.
pajeet sir, could you repeat the line about how this longsleeve with a printed scale armor pattern is ackshtually a ceremonial outfit or something? it always cheers me up. thanks.
real armor would be too heavy
too heavy for what?
for the actress to wear obviously
>Real armor would be expensive

yeah why invest any money at all into a billion dollar franchise that you're attempting to milk your client's money from.
All of them know it would flop hard lol so they make it as cheap as possible and just throw money into promotion,
>All of them know it would flop hard lol so they make it as cheap as possible and just throw money into promotion,
dubs of truth. the whole things stinks. i don't understand why amazon would pay so much cash for the rights to lotr and then shit all over the lore. are they really so out of touch with regular human beings that they cannot understand why people want canon respected?

The trailer made me sick. It shouldn't be affecting me this much, but it's really gotten to me.

If hard foam weapons can frick a persons shit up being a total homosexual LARPING than charging into battle without a helmet makes no sense.
I can’t wait until news reports tell us how much money they lost on this pile of shit.
don't you have anything better to do than make this same thread again and again lol

Is that suppose to be khand or something?Anyway looks pitiful if anything
was scrolling and only saw the top of the helmet, thought it would be a movie about Chad Aurelian, too bad it's just more LOTR "diversity" casting
What are some good looking female armors in movies?
I dont remember any movies but there is some good armor in DND games.
FRICKING KEK
least they could do was get a helmet that fit--inb4 it's CG lmfao
compare to the soulful detail of the trilogy
it's night and day
topkek
so good
makes me want to play Mount & Blade Bannerlord with LOTR mods
Makes me want to do a vlandia run.
10 out of fricking 10.
it is almost they designed the helmets to fit the actors face and had a HIMA consultant
>literal real armor
This is a lot of the reason why movies used to be good.
Lord of the Rings is a great example.
But it goes for most great films.
Take Jurassic Park, yeah, the dinos were CG but everything else was 100% real. It was like a documentary film almost going to this location and exploring the theme park. Same thing with middle earth, all real sets/shot on location/real metal armor costumes/etc.
Meanwhile I don't think there was a single thing I've seen from this show that wasn't CG, even the negresses undershirt in the OP. It's all just sterile, ugly garbage.
I'm sure some LITERAL pedophile will disagree with me and say sterile CG that looks like shit is a good thing, but we all know they're mentally ill and/or being paid to disagree with me.
Hackson is still a homosexual for adding plate armor. It should have been scale and mail.
>If only you knew how bad things really are.
why did they get the stinkiest, most unhealthy burger king employee they could find for the dwarf queen, wow
Do you have a pic of this eat beast with it's mouth open? It gave me a nightmare that she was devouring the universe like Galactis.
Is this a face from Morrowind?

Do you see the difference anon?
Is that even a real helmet? The armor is clearly screen printed but the helmet looks CGI as frick like unreal engine 4 bad.
You're just a bunch of fricking hypocrites and it's all too apparent.
Are you angry that we don't like your pedochurch products? Too bad lol
you didnt seriously think trannies could contend with the will of lotr? Their are none who can.

I miss this guy and his autistic love for details.
Yeah, I love his stuff. I recently discovered that Numenoreans couldn't grow any facial hair. This also extended into the third age where those with strong Numenorean blood. Meaning Elendil, Isildur, Imrahil, Boromir, Faramir and Aragorn didn't have facial hair. Tolkien revealed this is a letter so some fan that asked more in detail about the fellowship's appearance. The fricking autism to hide such an important detail in a random letter.

It's a retcon anyway. Círdan has a beard and the statue of the Gondorian king at the crossroads in Ithilien was carved with a beard even though all the kings of Gondor had strong Numenorean blood.
Cirdan is t.eleri scum though
Did Denethor have a beard? Apparently Boromir and Faramir are beardless because their mother was the sister of Imrahil. Cirdan's beard is the one exception, wonder what Tolkien thought about it.
In that same letter, Tolkien said that Denethor didn't have a beard, which is odd since his appearance is contrasted with Gandalf's and he is said to look more like a proper wizard.
It's not that odd, wasn't Gandalf compared to an elf too? I think it's more about stature and atmosphere than detailed physical characteristics.
Or Denethor had a nose big and hooked enough to put the wizards to shame.
>Pippin saw his carven face with its proud bones and skin like ivory, and the long curved nose between the dark deep eyes

Black folk still think of themselves as slaves, that's why they fetishize power above everything else
Can we have a fantasy vidya and film and tv that has realistic armor for once?
Nah, it'd be too boring and wouldn't have as big an audience, therefore less money.
How is it boring? Real armor looks real at least, fake bullshit looks plastic and not something you would use.
Are these what some of the vikings who went south and east became or am I off?

You think this is about money? You're literally braindead.
>Nah, it'd be too boring
Nonsense. Decent armor is not boring. Gimli was wearing decent armor in Lord of the Rings.
Anyone who thinks this is objectively wrong and has horrible taste. Historical or at least practical armor brutally mogs shitty fantasy armor in ever way.
Is that the Sutton Hoo helmet in the middle? Very kino picture
Correct. It is from the time and place Tolkien liked to base his works on. Would be awesome to see an adaptation that had that aesthetic, sadly that won't be happening anytime soon.
My brother pays for Amazon Prime, but I don't even care enough to pirate this shit.
I'll be here shitposting or on Tiktok.
Why does her helmet look photoshopped onto her head?
Did they know that ELF means White?
Are you all looking forward to her inevitable pre battle speech ala Theoden/Aragorn? This show is going to be an absolute joke.
wtf ANOTHER Black person??? who is the one now
Miriel, daughter of the King and Queen Regent. Since her mother is never mentioned in the lore they made her half black immediatly.
>two powerful women discussing the fate of Middle earth.

Still doesn't pass the Bechdel test because they're talking about a man (Sauron)

Tar- is what all the king's and queen's of Numenor are prefixed with so they didn't have much choice
Ah ok, I'm still going to watch it because I've become so contrarian I will now do whatever the /misc/ tourists dislike

All the more reason to do the opposite what they say.

That would be a circus then. A hippodrome is a modern infrastructure where they do horse races, not chariot ones.
Hippodrome is the Greek word and circus is Latin one. Both existed at the same time.
I love Beauty girls frick you guys

Fricking terrible. She looks out of place.
The average consumer of this drivel has no idea that a nose guard exists or even the concept. They just know it's a helmet like they've seen in other shows.
Well said friend. We are all an empowered black woman. We all owns local businesses that deserve support because of our skin pigmentation.
Ich bien ein black woman.
Thank frick the jackson movies were made when they were
I don't get it. That's bad but for some reason this pic is good?
It's because deep down your brain realises your pic is practical and is therefore appealing unlike OP's pic that just looks ridiculous.
Roman helmets lol wasnt nasal helmets( not even looking that youw pic had a fricking metal mask) They used cheek plates to cover the face from hits to make better fitting helmets positions for long battles and to see better in fights. Also for special tech see the open ears and back neck cover of helmets. Romans was hightech in this regard.
Roman helmets were pretty based. The result of iterative design over centuries of conflict, they're probably close to as good as it's possible to make such a helmet for the purpose they served.
Almost 100% chance they are better than almost every single medieval or early renaissance helmet ad hoced together by some random member of a secretive guild that jealously hoarded all their innovations from every other guild.
But they were. Its light, durable, fits like a glove and my friends recreators told me its like not wearing helmet at all, can run in it whole day and dont feel a thing. But only problem is that it has low defence from blunt trauma. That thing was solved only after they made gorget that helped to transfer force and weight to shoulders.
Romans just never needed that.
Sadly most of the production lines were trashed or lost so we ended up with cheap bootlegs.
because that is a white male and OP's pic is a poc woman
This is not a show for you. This is a show for college aged females and their soi boy orbiters

what is the budget of this series? why do they cheap out in giving actual armors and making backgrounds more believable? i fricking hate this over use of CGI, feels so soulless
>nooooooo theres a black person in my kino
how do chuds even function in real life?
>kino
Where?
would you say the same if black panther 2 consisted of white people as the main characters in wakanda?
There was a white main character in the first one
>"main" character
no.
The issue is not that there is a black person but that nowadays every evil character in every production is white and straight while heroes always have to be a minority in some shape or form. This country has become so obsessed with race that it can't stop being racist, going form an extreme to the other every fifty years.
In that case the issue absolutely is that there is a black person, whereas I don't give a frick in the new DnD flick for example
exactly. people would shit themselves if there was a film about for example Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Billie Holiday etc. etc. and they were played by white people, but for some reason if someone calls out how fricking moronic it is to have all these historically white people depicted as POC, you are somehow a chud and incel and "seething over a fricking movie bro"
lmao half of these "white people" are fictional characters, but all of the black people you list where real people and all but one of them were literally black rights activists so it would make no sense to cast white actors for them. Its entirely irrelevant to their respective story what skin color Guinevere or Lancelot have, though.
I've never seen a worthwile post that contained "lmao", it's like a stamp for "this post is dogshit don't bother reading it"
Certainly true of yours
Guinevere literally means white you mong. Also just because half of the characters in the pic aren't real doesn't excuse the ones who are.
>caesar was fictional
yikes
There are plenty of reasons to believe that Julius Caesar was a fictional character, and not a real historical figure. For one thing, there are no contemporary sources for Caesar's life. The first mention of him comes from a historian writing over a hundred years after his supposed death. And even then, there are no firsthand accounts - all we have are secondhand accounts, based on stories that were probably already being embellished and exaggerated.
Another reason to believe that Caesar was fictional is that the events of his life are just too incredible to be true. His military campaigns, in particular, seem more like something out of a novel than real history. And then there's the fact that many of the details of his life were borrowed from other, earlier stories. For example, the story of Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon is very similar to a story from Plutarch's Lives, which was written centuries before Caesar is supposed to have lived.
based. jesus, mohammed, george washington, and donald trump were all fictional too.
cute headcanon, but no scholar agrees with you
There is a lot of evidence to suggest that Julius Caesar was based on a solar deity. For one thing, his name contains the root "caes-," which means "shine" or "bright." Additionally, he was born on the summer solstice – the longest day of the year – and his family name, Julii, can be traced back to the goddess Juno, who was associated with the sun.
Caesar's connection to the sun is further reinforced by his accomplishments. He was a great military leader and conquered many lands, much like the sun "conquers" the night. He was also a brilliant politician and orator, and was known for his charisma and ability to persuade people – again, much like the sun. In fact, one of Caesar's nicknames was "Sol Invictus," or "Unconquered Sun."
Kings relating to the sun has been a part of esoterica since the dawn of man, that does not really support your theory.
imagine thinking history is real at all. we were all made in cloning vats 90 years ago after ww2 wiped out humanity and the AI revived us. wake up, morons.
