Can you move? Can you breathe? Can you fight?
Today we’re going to look at some armour, and also ‘armour’ and probably draw some ANGRY ARROWS. Also this list is basically being judged on how comfortable and useful I think it would be to wear, you have been warned.

08.05.2022I don't get it… Are you going for realism? Because NONE of those items would protect anything, maybe the torso and boobs, but the moment the metal gets 'dented' the person will be in perilous agony.
Might as well all dress like Leia, at least it is somewhat metal and have pure mobility to run away from the fight.

08.05.2022This is the 1st part of your videos I've seen and as I've been getting more into historical accuracy I really do appreciate what you do here so thank you.

08.05.2022What about the armor of Brienne of Tarth from Game of Thrones? I would hope that would be rather good, right?
Timbo
08.05.2022Yea, zero suit Samus is just her wearing her hazardous environment suit which isn’t supposed to be armour. It’s like complaining about those orange astronaut suits not being suitable for space walks which they’re not supposed to be because they’re only there to protect against the vacuum of space in case an accident happens.

08.05.2022Re: Xena's armor: Other than the exposed neck/upper chest, I don't think it's that bad. That's because I compare it more with Greek hoplite or early Roman armor than, say, what a medieval knight would wear. All it's missing is a shield.

08.05.2022Morgana never goes into battle, so yeah, not armor there.

08.05.2022I have no idea how the algorithm led me here but I'll be damned if it wasn't right again. Great vid

08.05.2022Fisher: "The father who flipped out about it, 'What am I going to tell my kid about why she’s in that outfit?' Tell them that a giant slug captured me and forced me to wear that stupid outfit, and then I killed him because I didn’t like it. And then I took it off. Backstage."

08.05.2022Admittedly, you could look at nearly any hollywood armor and you will see places where there should be padding and there is literally none. That's a hollywood thing for both men and women. Similarly, hollywood is obsessive regarding leather over fabric paddings becuase it looks "all armory and stuff" rather than actual realism.
Prince_Nocturne
07.05.2022Yeah, Zero Suit Samus is… literally just the under-armor body suit she wears UNDER her armor. The sci-fi equivalent of rating someone's tunic and leather pants. It's definitely not armor. Agree on the heels though. I was so annoyed when they added those to the design (not original a part of it!). They're just… No. Just no. How does she even get those into the power suit!?
Overall, I agree with this list! You've got good taste, for sure!

07.05.2022I find it odd when people turns this into a "boohoo sexualisation" thing. Like, yes, we are sexual creatures, and fantasy will include sexy things. Like He man or a barbie doll.
There is a lot of not at all functional, blatantly sexy armour in a lot of fantasy. Kind of the point of fantasy, to imagine things to your liking. Whether that be a sexy man, woman or magical powers.
Btw there is an armoured ladies subreddit specifically for cool armoured women!
Nordic Nugz
07.05.2022So, just started to watch, and I want to make some predictions. At the bottom, bikini "Armor". In the middle, a lot of Leather armor. At the top, I'm hoping to see some Vanilla Skyrim armors hopefully! I always felt they did pretty well on their female armor. Although, I don't actually think there was "female armor" historically. it was just armor. and Mostly made for men, but wearable by women. This is all predictions! I'm excited to see where I fell.

07.05.2022Dora Milaje totally in cloth that nipples can protrude gets best score? Your credibility just flew out the window…
Cor van Essen
07.05.2022Just found the video "how skimpy female armor works – protection" and I can't stop thinking: "how silly Jill must feel when she sees this"

07.05.2022The Leia outfit is a slave outfit. Looking hot and pretty much naked was the point. She was captured by Jabba the hut and forced to wear that has one of his slaves. It wasn't meant be anything protective
Lyle 84'
07.05.2022Leias is a stripper outfit, not an armor in the first place.
Samus power armor is the one that makes least sense because it wouldnt anatomically fit a human with that arm width and small helm. Zero suit is better but its just the inside padding.
TheBronf
07.05.2022going to be honest. i thought this was going to be a rant about female armor being stupid and bla bla bla. but i still gave it a shot and it was really good. you gave good critic, changes you would made and practical on each armor.
Aspi Leo
07.05.2022Princess Leia has more armor on her as then the overly sexualised women from these terrible mobile game ads.
Justice Taylor
07.05.2022Subbing for the premis of her talking about lady armor.
St 4
05.05.2022isn't the black panther armour kinda ceremonial tho?
LordNul1
05.05.2022The Zero Suit is essentially just a spandex fanservice-y equivalent of Boba's Tuskan outfit from Book of Boba Fett's flashback sequences. Literally just there so the character has something to wear when not wearing their full iconic equipment.
Brian Rooney
05.05.2022Who's the person that submitted Leia's bikini as "Armor", when it's more akin to fetish wear?
Brian Rooney
05.05.2022I wonder if I can discuss the armor for an OC I made with a group of your followers.
wb wam
05.05.2022For Wonder Woman's weird quilt stuff, I think they might have been going for some sort of scale armor? Amazonian scale?
HD
05.05.2022God I’m so happy this is a legitimate critique of armor for women, instead of judging who looks the sexiest, or hating on women looking feminine bc of some political thing. It’s helped a lot in learning how these things work, and the differences between armor for men and women, especially when that stuff is in short supply. Great video, 10/10, would recommend.

05.05.2022why are the colours the wrong way round

05.05.2022The algorithm is figuring me out having suggested this video for me
Superslime
05.05.2022maybe check out the adeptus sororitas from warhammer 40k. their armor is actually meant to protect. at least in that universe.

04.05.2022Cmon, not even one mention of the most well armored woman in media? Freaking Kat from halo reach. She even has a space kind of diaper thing.
Will Power
04.05.2022Ok let's be real, Leia's bikini was meant to show her off, not go into battle like tbe other women.
Daane Mest
04.05.2022One must always understand that in fantasy, any type of fantasy, all the vital parts of human anatomy is in the center of the belly or in ones shoulders.
Buttkick Turbo 3000
04.05.2022I don't get it. What's the rush?
A lil bit Ritardando
04.05.2022you'd hate the armour in the game Lost Ark. I've begun to call them overglorified battle panties because that's all that it seems to be. Not to mention, you can't tell what's metal or cloth, and also, castration loincloth. Also battle wedges. Regardless of the actual armour, the women always get battle wedges. 0/10

04.05.2022I'm just here because of Samus.

04.05.2022ZSS isn't supposed to br armor, it's supposed to be a tight mechanical suit to go under her power armor

04.05.2022The ultimate armor: The fantasy bikini armor.
Weather proof. Stab proof.
And a nice distraction for the enemy!
beageler
04.05.2022I think that fabric is supposed to be scales, but the rendering in the early comics was misunderstood and so it turned into… I don't know, maybe studded with the studs touching?

Dax_Prime
02.05.2022leia's metal bikini is not armor. it was never meant to be. she was a slave, it was meant to ridicule her, as well as show her off as a trophy.
SwordsmanMercenary
02.05.2022Zero Suit is more like a flight suit.
Isabella Fortune
02.05.2022honestly if a women in a hollywood movie was covered head/neck to the foot and in a semi silvery material i would be happy!! yay not sexualized outfit!!!
Denver Starkey
02.05.2022For the love of god , princess leia's bikini was never intented to be armor. it was just something skimpy jabba made her wear because he's a fat alien slug with some kind of sick pervy humanoid fetish. why the hell is it even on this list , it was never meant to be protective.
Wince Media
02.05.2022I love that the one thing she HATES about the zero suit Samus suit is actually the heels lol
ArchaeoMech
02.05.2022This was amazing and I loved it.
Sydney Kelson
02.05.2022i wonder what she'd think of the keyblade armor from kingdom hearts. on one hand, it's magic. but on the other? some of the pieces look like they'd restrict movement. at least they don't have heels lmao
Aitipse A
02.05.2022I like Overwatch because female characters can look sexy if so they want, but they are fully covered in armor or have a lighter suit, like Dva who pilots an armored mech and Tracer who relies on speex and agility, meaning they can battle no problem. Only one that breaks this rule with reflective spandex and a v line is Widowmaker but I always assumed Talon chooses her clothing because they brainwashed her and are evil sick fucks
Thats the problem I have with other media in which women are skimpy and show a lot of skin. You can look hot if you want but god above dont give your enemies an easy way to fuck you up
