Considering that my argument and point was that not all armor had elbow protection...then how could you possibly be arguing against my point?

Standard foot soldiers also had shields to supplement their armor. Something the mage lacks. And considering the mage is most likely to be on horseback, having exposed legs are a serious liability. Especially when poisons and other chemical weapons were actually fairly common in the battlefield.

If you read my responses to others, I do discuss the fact that Pteruges and other pieces of armor existed, and should have been designed as part of this armor. But if you read the linked interview in the article and see the costumers designs, she didnt design any kind of greaves, skirt or leg armor to go with the body…

So what you are arguing is that every single piece of medieval armor had elbow protection? Well we know that’s categorically false.

plate armor by its nature is cumbersome if equipped like it was historically designed (gambeson, chain and then plate layered on top of each other). While not making you immobile, you certainly wont win a 100 yard dash anytime soon, much less any gymnastic competition. Plate offers protection from weapons like swords,…

I never stated it looked bad. Honestly I really dig the black/gold aesthetic and think the armor looks fantastic. My point of contention is calling this ‘practical’. The armor (if was just ceremonial armor) is really good looking (though I am not a fan of the turquoise accents in the shoulder and neck).

Did you miss the whole ‘fantasy’ bit? It appears you did.

Functional means it could actually block an attack. practical means it wouldn’t have built in lights, open filigree, gold all over the place, and (as you stated) the sword valley. Its only partly practical in that it doesnt have the sword valley. The armor as a whole is wildly impractical to the point of comical. 

And I stated that even in the linked website, where it shows all of the armor, it still only covers the upper body, waist down and below is completely unprotected. There is no Gambeson in the pictures (which is the layered cloth armor worn underneath chain and plate armor).

None of that makes it impractical.

If its a fantasy situation, and you are wearing half a body’s worth of plate armor, clearaly you are in for more than just a walk in the park. And more than just half your body should be armored. If speed/dexterity is more useful to avoiding enemy attacks, she would be better off with less/no armor. Plate armor, even…

Apparently mages only need armor on their chest, hands, shoulders and head. Because who cares about legs in a battlefield situation. Who cares about a gambeson, who cares about leg/hip/foot/elbow protection. You cant claim ‘practical’ and then have the armor light up and only protect half your body. Her mask…

Not practical in the slightest. If it was practical, it wouldnt have the skirt, lights or so much filigree. There is also a lack of greaves or any kind of leg armor in the linked site. And while the breastplate is designed to look functional, having the elbow, hip, legs and feet exposed is just asking for someone…

tyrnakine looks almost like a more child friendly version of the Kingdom Death Phoenix.

We saw the sales of any character that was diverse, any character that was new, our female characters, anything that was not a core Marvel character, people were turning their nose up against. That was difficult for us because we had a lot of fresh, new, exciting ideas that we were trying to get out and nothing…

I run those cards with Living Inferno, Eron the Relentless, Flowstone Overseer, Laccolith Titan (with splinter twin), multiple seething songs, dragon claw, shivan meteor, Latulla’s orders, and so many stupidly fun cards. And its not even a commander deck, its just a fun ‘fuck everyone and everything’ deck. Flowstone…

Dont assume that just because its a japan origination, that japan can do something better. You saw the Attack on Titan live action movie, right? because that is hot fucking garbage that makes even Uwe Boll movies look like masterpieces.

I see your Armageddon (silly white thinking it can do mass destruction), and raise you Jakulhaups, Decree of Annihilation, Myojin of Infinite Rage, Sowing Salt. You want mass destruction, go red.

I am irrationally angry that the artist drew usagi in the pokemon world with a jigglypuff, but didnt draw luna as an umbreon.

THE MIND IS WILLING, BUT MY WALLET IS FLACCID.I need bunny Camilla to team up with Camilla, Male Robin and Tharja.
