The Frogmouth always looks like its chuckling smugly at everyone, like its just constantly thinking about how superior it is to everyone around it.

I love how it almost looks futuristic and minimalistic in design, like if I just saw the helmet for the first time not knowing anything about history I'd think it was for some modern scifi robot movie

I kinda' like the design of the frogmouth helmet. I think the fact that it hides all of the facial features gives it a more intimidating look. It's definitely cool on an aesthetic level in my personal opinion. Awesome video, Metatron! I can really tell how much work you put into them.

The frogmouth helmet would make a fantastic novelty teapot or pitcher for serving drinks.

I’ve never seen something look so badass AND so ridiculous at the same time. 😂

I wonder if Henri II would have survived had he worn this kind of helmet during his fatal jousting in July 1559.

I recently went to a medieval village here in Denmark and tried a great helm for jousting (but not a frog mouth). I was surprised by that visibility (much better than I expected and the model I tried allowed some vertical FoW as well) but what I didn't expect was the noise: I could hear myself breathing so loudly and every external noise was amplified inside the helm. I think that would've distracred me more than anything else while jousting.

I love how the helmet looks. It's a shame that it's limited to just jousting, rather than battles and duels. I'd love to see more of the frogmouth helmet.

The frogmouth helmet looks awesome. Imagine a warrior wearing this charging at full tilt with their lance pointed straight at you! Though it really seems too impractical to use outside of jousting

The Frogmouth looks as if it acted as a forerunner to the HANS device (a device used in motorsports to reduce whiplash in vehicle impacts) as the FM helmet straps to the armor. The perfect helmet concept for jousting.

It’s amazing how trying out something in real life gives you unique insights into what you would have otherwise never grasped! Thanks for this. I’m very surprised about the field of vision. Those medieval smiths knew what they were doing. One thing I noticed as you did some close ups on the lip is that the sharp (relatively) edges of the frogmouth opening would have easily bit into and grasped any wooden shaft entering into to, so that specific design was likely very purposeful. Even if a lance or spear somehow made it into the gap, the shape would have stopped it before it went too far-hopefully before it reached your face!

The potential for comedic sketches in that get up is phenomenal. I want to see Metatron Python routine with that!

I would wager that knights competing in jousts in heavy rain would have wished they had the option of getting weather forecasts. Or at least forecasts that didn't depend on which way a flock of birds flew or how the entrails of a goat looked. The upside is if you actually found yourself competing one without a lance nearby, a piping hot cup of McDonald's coffee down the visor would work.

Metatron has become a Dark Souls 3 sweat.

Even if it did absolutely nothing dude frogmouth helmets just look epic

Neighbor: "Bill...that weird fella is out there walking around in his armor again!"

I've studied absolutely insane armor made for jousting. Just last week, I recognized examples in a museum, looked like normal armor except the arm, the breastplate and even the helmet were all one piece.

Expected a footage from inside the helmet. Unless I've missed it.

Please get also a Corinthian helmet! That would have been a great antique comparison to the frogmouth!

I just realized the Chigs from Space: Above and Beyond had the frogmouthed helm.

"going to be uploud today" 35 minutes before midnight... Thats technicaly true.

One video I’d be interested in seeing is a breakdown of how historically accurate aspects of Fire Emblem are. Armor, combat, cost of materials, etc.

So cool man, after you showed the frogmouth helmet in that video I was waiting for this video. I got in love with this helmet 😁

Unbreakable Lapp thanks you for the coverage

Thanks a lot. I just spit coffee all over my keyboard when you did the Teapot knight pour at 7:05 🤣

Thank you for such an informative video on this helmet. I always had an interest and curiosity of this style of helmet. Never went to deep into the research, so thank you for explanations.

This is my favorite knight helmet; it looks noble and almost futuristic.

I feel like we don't give this guy enough credit for walking around in public parks in full armor for science.

You Look GLORIOUS in the intro!

Youe hair looks majestic on this video, Raphaelo. Whatever you have done, keep doing it.

The helmet looks so nice. Great insight into what it feels like to wear a helmet of this type

Great content as always Raph, keep up the good work

I admit I lol'd with the teapot graphic. The frogmouth helmet has always looked badass.

I wounder how medieval people would react to the idea of someone using one of these in combat I would assume they would react somewhat similarly to someone in the current era seeing a moder day soldiers wearing a football helmet.

One of my favourite helmets. They look so cool.

I love ypur videos. Such a complete KZfaqr

Even if the frogmouth helmet is awful to wear, it still looks incredibly intimidating. You look like a freaking Dark Souls miniboss.

just gotta love the tactical bucket

Wow that's freakin beautiful. Congratulations.

Haven't watched you in a while, love the warhammer fantasy minis in the back

I would really love to see a Video on the Heaviest Samurai Configuration, its uses, history, and what situations favored and disfavored it.

I swear the greatest pro of that helmet seems to be intimidation. Similar to how certain face covers are used by military nowadays.

I would love to see you spar wearing this against someone wearing a kettle hat! 😆

The teapot joke was SPOT ON

I love the frog helm it will forever be one of my favorites next to the shallot

You look glorious in medieval armor my friend!

I love this helmet design

I bought a bascinet with a similar Plow visor, it's one of my favorite styles of helmet, that flat, angular look on a sleek helmet

Not just tea, but you could give an oration from within the frogmouth using a Kermit the frog type voice.

I'm curious what you'd think of the quite abundant pictorical depictions of people wearing frogmouths into battle, though.

Another great, and informative video!

Aahhh, I thought it was going to be 13minutes of Metatron just striking glorious poses in the armour with the epic music in the back ground. But the info part is just as good I guess.

The drip is unreal with this helm

Always wondered about this, now satiated, thanks

Wooow, awesome! Thank you, bro! 🤘🏻

Tried sharing the video with my cat, she disappointed there were no actual frogs to chase, I however enjoyed the video! Keep up the good work

If you ever played AssCreed 2 or Brotherhood, you’ll find that heavy Borgia guards wear frog mouth helmets as footsoldiers. It’s funnier than it should be.

Metatron looks horrific with that kabuto shadowline.

Very interesting episode. Fascinating helmet.

Dark souls 2 made this one of my favorite helmets; love to see how it functions in reality.

Fantastic Intro !! When can We expect the rest of the Movie Coming out? 😉😂

the tea one was spot on, you could make a chinese kettle mechanism to spit tea on your enemies.

best part of the video? the tea pot knight, that had me roll. Really interesting video anyway

thank you to thos channel for always doing the right thing for the right reason bravo metatron and the nobleones!!!

Ah yes, the medieval Kermit

I've seen some frogmouth helms with holes opened below the lower "lip" to allow for more ventilation and better sight...but I understand that those are NOT for jousting,but for duelling. On foot.

Ive got a recycling bin shaped like that 🤣🤣.Great vid by the way .

The Teapot Knight sounds like some sorta' Legend in a Fantasy Setting Maybe a A Champion of Joust Tournaments.

Sir Teakettle! My favourite!

Speaking of battlefield helmets, what do you think of the morrion? It was used by spanish Conquistadors and by papal armies. It seem to be some kind of variation of the kettle hat.

The samurai masks look dope AF though.

im ngl when i get better at modeling i wanna make a modernized/sci - fi version of this taking all of the classic cues and combining it with a respirator, camera suite, etc

great presentation,. loved the information

As for looks, I really love it. Now I see it's most likely the producers of "Space: Above and Beyond" based their Chigg design on the frogmouth.

I might be the only one, but honestly the frogmouth looks so badass to me.

Teapot knight! That got me. 🤣🤣🤣 Metatron's wife is a legend! 😄👍

If you ever decide to fight on foot while wearing a frogmouth, pray that you never encounter your kryptonite: an angry dwarf.

Easily my favorite helmet of all time

That is an amazing set of armor! You look monolithic in it.

I had to ilustrate of of those helmets long ago, and for some reason, it made me think of a kettle xD and wondered how the hell they were able to see with that on!

That's what a bulletproof vest should look like.

That is the second biggest helmet I've ever seen! 🤩🤩🤩

One of my favorite helmets. I’m so jealous.

That helmet makes my think of a Alessi coffee pot! I still think it’s cool though!

"I can't see shit outta this fukin thing!" -Some knight six hundred years ago.

"bucket man" - My friend Angelo, 2022

I often think about fitting medieval armour, especially the heavy, restrictive armour like frogmouth helmets with modern technology. Making up for loss of vision with cameras and internal screens, having integrated fan and cooling systems for a more comfortable temperature and a greater level of air circulation, etc, etc. I think there's a lot of interesting potential there, but I can't recall I've ever seen it discussed (or done) before. Can't help but imagine, in an alternate universe where gunpowder and explosives were never a thing, a full plate power armour knight is riding his motorbike into battle.

Been saying the tea thing for years man finally someone else sees it too 😆

Coolest knight helmet, when I see this helmet it makes knights look as menacing as they should be

This is simple a BADASS video. But I never want to wear a frog helmet. Thank you for your time and video.

Interesting video. Fun to watch thank you... I love the MMM moments Masculine Medieval Model xD

The tea with the biscuits part made me laugh so hard.

I'm convinced the visor slot was only made with the intent of consuming beverages in mind. Seriously, pour a coke down there, just funnels it straight to your mouth. It's actually genius design.

Great review!

Wow, that's some piece of gear.

I've been around horses all my life and I promise you the horses looked out for them. the horse would work out "know" the rider was blind below a certain field of view, when in such gear, and protect them. horses are herd animals and their instincts to look for their fellows mean they can do this rather well - including their sharing of vision - it is a fact that during rides at night they can see far better than humans can and they would weave the rider away from low branches etc quite naturally - it was considered a safe way to get about at night - horses will also do quite complex manoeuvres (untrained) to save their riders they are very aware of the mortality of their "friend" and will not easily risk them a horse wold step, spin, block, and use body language to tell the rider what is going on - and the rider would know instantly what to do

Always loved the look of the Frogmouth Helmet even though it look terrible to fight in.

And so, the King would go into the mouth of the abyss to shut the gate, along with a handful of his faithful knights. And such each of them would become burnt by that abysmal flame. A burnt... Ivory King.

I've been a fan of the Frogmouth since Monster Hunter Generations. Gammoth may be a bastard, but I'll be damned if I denied how cool that helmet looked.

I love the look of a frogmouth helmet. Unfortunately for me, you mentioned the one thing that would have forever kept me out of the joust. I don't need to *feel* claustrophobic; I already am claustrophobic, and I would be completely unwilling to wear it as a result.
