*No one debunks the Metatron* Metatron: "Fine I'll do it myself"

"Medieval Roman Spartan Templar armor" Indian guy who wrote that: "I'm something of a historian myself"

The metatron debunked everyone, all that was left was himself 🤣

Metatron just gave us a valuable life lesson, be humble, admit your mistakes and strive for self improvement. Hats off to you, great video.

Metatron: " I would like to grow my beard back to this level." Roman Legate: "As long as it's in regulation, Centurion!"

"Hello KZfaq--" *pauses clip* "So right here is our first problem."

I remember watching it back then 😳

this is really healthy, acknowledging your own mistakes and making sure people don't fall for misconseptions.

Hey, take it easy on this poor guy you're debunking! Seems like a nice person, maybe he's gonna be a KZfaq star one day

I have a feeling in a few years, he’ll debunk his debunking

Putting the "meta" in Metatron.

"Look at this fool! He's so wrong!!" "Wait, that's me.."

I wonder who metatron will debunk now? Metatron: allow me to debunk myself Me: 😯

The highest wisdom comes when you learn from your mistakes from the past.

I was drawing my lovely templar, nearly finishing it, when suddenly this video pops up. And after seeing it, it made me reconsider redrawing the all thing, to be more accurate. Thank you so much Metatron. Love your videos keep up with the good work :)

To revise ones early work in humility is the mark of a noble one.

Me "2014 thats not even that long ag..... f* that was 6 years ago???" Edit: 7 years f****

Hehehe... That reminds me when I first did an analytic chart of warplanes (I was 12 years old, now I'm at 36 to 37...) I included about 25 planes and I was proud of myself, as I was the only one who had done it. 6 years after, I couldn't believe how silly I was, having conluded so little info about them, only weight and performance specifications and avoiding to state radar, weapons included, ECM equipment etc. Now, that I am an analyst, I look at my old archive what I have done so far, how I begun and where I am now, I can easily understand you when you debunk yourself. And there are still so many I want to learn and understand... Have a nice time, mate, with respect from Greece. Keep the family safe in our difficult times of pandemic.

You should do a video on the historic development of mail like you did with shields.

If you were wearing a Halloween custome, then the Lord of the rings sword and the wall hanger shield are quite fitting with the theme.

Mirror Match: Metatron vs. Metatron...Ready? Fight!

Lol “oh my gosh I can’t believe it”

It's a great sign that you've grown in your field when you look back on your past works and see your mistakes and cringe a little bit. Embrace it!

Talking about great helms and templars, despite the popular association (mainly because of the Deus Vult memes) it happened to be worn even by the sarracens they fought. Iconographic examples can be found on the Cantigas by Alphonse X of Castille. Furthermore, there you'll see that if it wasn't for the banners and the light cavalry you couldn't visually distinguish moors from cristians.

Every time Metatron talks about armor being used after it was common place all I can think of is A Knight's Tale. For all it's faults it has a key example of a lower rung nobleman still out and jousting in outdated armor.If you can afford new armor you get it, but if you can't you wear what you have.

Hi Metatron! I just wanted to say thanks for the videos! I use the information you give as one of my sources for writing (I'm an author by profession) and it's very useful and easy to understand. I appreciate your humour, too.

That opening caught me so off guard, I almost spit my own drink out lol. Amazing content as always, Metatron.

the youtubers that specialize in historical warfare are so humble.

I really liked the intro you've recently been doing with the little jingle, it sets a chill mood for the video!

I think it's kind of funny scholagladiatoria subbed to you starting out when he was around 35k and now you're 170k bigger than him. The algorithm can be a fickle mistress.

We stan a content creator who admits when they messed up. Good on you meta tron.

*_*debunking intensifies*_*

theory as to the origins of the term chainmail. i think it started in the here in the U.S. and that's because instead of calling our mail post, we call it mail. so it could be the word chain was added so as to clear up confusion.

You can not be stopped and it frightens me.

Yeah this reminds me of looking back at some of my old arguments I wrote up in school and saying "Wow. This is all crap, AND HERE IS WHY! That will show you.... Younger me..."

I always thought that the problem with having holes on the left side of the visor is not that they compromise the structural integrity of the plate but that they might catch the tip of lances, spears and arrows and transfer all the force to the head rather than letting the point slide off

First time I was this early, Metatron-san didn't have a facial hair

13:15 The pope that introduced the red crosses was Innocent the II btw, before the second Crusade :)

Metatron: I was a “bambino”, in a Monty Python movie, with a cheap costume.

Is great to see how much you've learned since your earlier videos. Admit and correct mistakes speaks grand of you.

You looked so young & fresh faced. I do like watching old videos of my favorite creators every now & then. You get to see how their skills as a content creator have progressed.

Looking forward to the video about roman armor history! Also, great idea to debunk yourself :)

I appreciate that you can come to yourself with a similar level of respect that you approach other creators, in the past I've found it can be easy to be overly gentle or overly cynical towards myself and I've noticed similar tendencies in other people. As someone who has struggled to be fair to myself I would like to thank you for showing me that getting to that place is something that can be achieved, it really does help, so thank you. ♥

Good video Raf, it is always good to pass the correct info, it does not matter at all if you debunk yourself or not. Keep the good work !

I really enjoy these looks at older videos

The content lately has been my favorite ever, and I've been around here for a minute. I love debunking videos and rants.

No wonder I always got extreme high school teacher energy from you

Great video as usual! You are so much more self aware than most youtube channels. If you're open to suggestions, I would love to see a video discussing the possible advancements of weapons and armour if firearms were never invented. I think it would be interesting to apply more modern materials and knowledge to medieval technology

All those awesome miniatures on the shelf behind you interest me

On that shelf he has a Ryu from street fighter. Never noticed that before. Meta, you look so young. Like a young Keanu Reaves in that video you review.

Can't wait for the rebuttal video

"Someone should test if riveted maille is 10 times stronger" That looks like a job for Tod's Workshop :)

Loved that intro!

Please Metatron, make a video about the types of mail.

It would be interesting if you talked about the functionality of 40k items. Like armour and weapons. Just a thought.

this video is deeper than it looks, cheers to debunking ourselves!

It would be really awesome to see a remake of that Templar video!

ha.. the templar vid was the one that hooked me to you and i subbed... so dont be to rough on it... but of course we all have learned alot more since then and myself like so many others are still watching you.. (and of course this is just typical Metatron, making things right)

"I'm sorry for my mistakes 7 years ago". NOT! what you said is unforgivable. You have no right to learn and honestly correct yourself. CANCELED! A big hug from Brazil.

"Debunkinh myself, but from the past." Hoped he could debunk his futur self, but yeah, I guess I can understand, he hasn't reached the unscrewed pommels' powers...

Metatron: I will do better Camera Battery: THAT'S MY CUE!

Amazing!

That old greathelm from '14 brings back memories of "+53 Head Armor? Sold!" when playing Mount&Blade Warband.

There's this seriously underrated channel I think you should acknowledge, he's called Raven Knight. I think you should check out his work!

self debunking should become a series on this channel

Thank you for this information

As this is the only self debunking show I’ve known,lots of applause to the Metatron.

Can we get a video on the Winged Hussars? Thank you!

I remember the great helm vid from when I first started watching you!

Man I wish I could have the energy like Metatron has. I mean what your Uber goes through there old videos and correct them? He is quite the worker!

Friend , we are with you, your whole work is great, it’s good, it’s solid, don’t fix anything. Just leave it so you can see how far you have come. Me agapi E.P.

Oh, posh, yeah, I know, it's "mail", if you're a specialist talking to other specialists... but most people say 'chain mail' , and that's alright, though I might start correcting them if they start saying 'mail' to mean armor in general, and armor types that don't include chainmail in particular, from a leather jerkin to a brigandine coat to full plate harness... heck, being French, I have to say 'cotte de mailles' all the time, knowing it originally meant a mail coat, but without any other word to designate that armor type in my native tongue. BTW, you've got so many videos I've not managed to find if there is one where you tell what the way to say it in Italian is.

Metatron seeing his old video: "First riacssion, SCIOK!"

I like the Warhammer in the background, always nice to see square bases

I am so early that the metatron hasn't debunked himself yet

Damn its quite astonishing to see your channel has grown alot from the time i remember you had a few thousand subscribers.I remember you celebrated 1000 subs or 10000 on horse back in crusader armour those were the times lol

Don't feel bad, we all start somewhere. Some never get beyond that.

The crossover we've all been asking for

I find your humility very refreshing. I love laughing at old projects of mine. In the future, do you think and of the following subjects might be possible: A video on recommended books to learn more about armor. (As some books can have good or really bad info, I'd love to hear what you think are good sources.) A video on the Polish hussars. A video on armaments and military structure or the Ottomans during the Byzantine-Ottoman wars. Keep up the great work!

correcting your own mistakes is very respectable. never stop making awesome content Metatron!

That took a lot of courage. Props to you, Metatron.

I look forward to your debunking this debunking video five years from now

This is actually great, I'm sure it gives a lot of people the courage to start. If you started out this bad and learned along the way, then we can all do it! It's encouraging to see that you don't have to be perfect to start making content, as long as you remain honest and able to look at yourself with a critical eye.

Courageous ! Well done !

Soo what will hapen if somebody with rlly heavy armour meets somebody with rlly light or even no armour (like lawbringer vs berserker for honor)

I'm so glad you did a self-critical video, that tells us a lot about your personality. Greetings!!

“It’s a piece of sheet....metal”. LOL

You have my respect, that you did that! You have learned a lot since than. I am grateful that we all can benefit from that. Thank you so much! Have a beautiful day! 🤗

Old Metatron: "I am undebunkable" ~failed debunk~ New Metatron: "I am, you but better" *Debunk*

I probably would not be here, if was not for those videos, I follow U almost since the beginning, improve my english a lot, nothing to apologize for. thanks for every thing, shout out from Brazil

Love the round topped great helms.

If there was no one else to debunk... The self is the only one remaining. Anyway, I am only a recent subscriber. I might have to look at the earlier videos 🙂

Wow, you're a noble one! This was fun to watch!

It's really nice that you never really spread any misinformation, but you still rectified some things that could potentially be misleading or not in depth enough and therefore give a wrong idea to your audience. Shows how much integrity you have with your work, because my bet is that 90% of youtubers would only own a mistake if it was direct and blatant spreading of misinformation. As in, I think they would correct themselves and apologize if they claimed if they claimed the great helmet always had holes on both sides, but if they, like you, haven't mentioned anything about the holes being in one or both sides, but showed only examples with bilateral holes, I think most wouldn't admit any mistakes and just insist that they never said they *all* looked like that, and that it's not their fault people got that impression Taking responsibility for what people learn from you is very admirable

We are what we grow beyond, good video Metatron!

Finnaly escaping the clutches of my lair, I studied art at merkantilt institute. In my past time I joined a knights templar order, I got to meet alot of students in trondheim. Picking up a sword at my freinds place I stublmed into a conversation with this Italian guy. So I asked him what do you studie? He said he studied Norwegians, and their laungauge so he could read Ibsen in his mother tounge. This gave my brain some sort of short circute.

The video title is amazing

I think I watched these videos originally or at least shortly after they were filmed anyway.

The Papal Bul that states how Templars should dress is "Militia Dei" from 1145 by Pope Eugene III

19:40 even the camera was embarrassed
