Old versus new

 

[Imotekh]

Thank god. That design was awful, like someone who never irons their shirts would be ashamed to wear that armour

 

[CrankyJay™]

Inside of the show, it never bothered me.

How difficult is brigandine? The games are packed full of it, too. This looks like generic Peter Jackson stuff.

Probably cheaper to just have some generic prop foam made for "plate looking" pieces. I could be wrong, maybe they spend the $$$ on actual armor.

 

[GreyHorace]

There. Was that so fucking hard Netflix?

Still think the Black Sun emblem should be bigger like in the games.

Same, I actually never even noticed it (generally because every scene with them in was so damn dark) though I am wondering what the logic of the armour looking like that was, to begin with. From what I can remember the fact their armour looks so different from every other in the show is never explained.

I guess now it never will be seeing as they're reconning it.

I gotta think they were going with some sort of bioorganic look (for what purpose, I don't know). If nothing else it set them apart visually however dumb it would be tactically.

Honestly, I think it was just some costume designer trying to be clever or edgy.

Good call, funny the outrage over scrotum armor was loud enough to generate a response. It was really stupid looking.

 

[MDSLKTR]

Oh wow, did they get a budget for more than 2 fight scenes now?

 

[thefool]

The armor was the least of the witcher problems.

 

[Tesseract]

it's better

not exactly good, but better

I thought it was a good watch, but there were times it felt like Hercules: The Legendary Adventures. That golden dragon CG .

 

[Ultra Violento]

Man why do they always go for a generic and uninteresting design with medieval armor? There's so many cool ones and the witcher is fantasy for crying out loud, they could be more creative with those armors.

 

[Rentahamster]

OId armor was rejected designs for Vorlon underwear.

Geralt is fixed too.

 

[Falcs]

Cool.. didn't bother me that much, but it's better.

Now can they fix the casting for Triss?

 

[TrainedRage]

They paid someone to design that first one.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
They had vast amounts of source material and came up with raisin armor!
I'm only willing to give them props for changing it. Should have never looked like that in the first place.

 

[Grinchy]

I never once thought anything about this armor whatsoever while watching.

That golden dragon though...

 

[Dorohedoro]

They'll replace her with Lizzo, careful what you wish for!
