Except that the LotR movies had actual armorers work on the armor, and it was functional. This armor looks like it was designed by someone that played lots of fantasy video games, but doesn't know how armor is supposed to work in real life. As an example from the picture, look at the articulation points on the breast plate. That's not how armor articulates for the breast plate and abdomen. The only reason to do that there would be to layer the plates for "style", but doing so would just open up the wearer to weak points for the enemy to stab through. Ancient peoples were very smart and pragmatic in their warfare. They had to be, because their lives were hard. Warfare immediately cuts through the bullshit and gets rid of frivolous things, failures in design, and bad plans.

This is what irks me the most about Hollywood. It's all flash and no substance, with the implicit or explicit intent to shit on our White ancestors, history, and stories. It's designed by idiots catering to idiots. It's an insult to the audience, because they think people don't know any better, when even cursory knowledge of the subject would show how stupid it is. It also shows they have zero reverence and knowledge of history, and instead opt for this garbage.
