I’m tired of how Hollywood nerfs plate armor by portraying them as heavy and ineffective, and only used by Knights to look cool.

Plate armor were light, weighing only 36 kilograms (hell my highschool schoolbag with 3 books and my laptop inside it can weigh more than that), and were designed by blacksmiths to evenly distribute the weight, so you’d barely feel anything, plus they also allow mobility and the ability to last for hours in battle as long as the enemy doesn’t hit the gaps of the armor.

Speaking of enemy, plate armor were effective in stopping blows from swords and arrows, but Hollywood always portray humans with no magic powers cut through them like butter, and archers killing plate armored Knights in long distances.

In reality, only guns, battle axes, explosives, and warhammers could counter plate armor, (also daggers if you hit the gaps, but even the gaps were reinforced with rivetted chainmail).

I’m tired of this stupid propaganda by Hollywood, they all just want to make the Europeans look weak and favor the fancy dance moves of the Samurai and the naked Spartans.
