The guy above me made a good point, imagine how difficult it would be to edit out the metal clanging and bring forth the dialogue audio for every single scene. Let alone when there are hundreds upon hundreds of them in scenes. Idk sounds horrific

@@deathsticks1776 they have loads of background noise etc anyway. Plus no film does "live sound", they always re dub

From what I've heard these types of shows do have consultants for these things, they just choose to ignore what they want. TV shows don't want to look accurate, that's a documentary. They want to look "good" and believable enough to the audience while having a splash of reality thrown into it. And from what I've gathered it's a lot easier to frame an actor's face at every angle if they're wearing neutral dark colors and things that don't get in the way of the cameras, such as shields.

@@zedre7633 realistic vikings look 100 times more badass than any series or movie vikings in my opinion fucking horns and useless leather padding just looks silly there's nothing more scary than those 2 dark eyeholes they looked like some kind of undead warrior's a ghost in chainmail

Tha last thing Hollywood cares about is reality.

If only that had a props consultant equivalent to the language consultant that is Dr. Jackson Crawford

I loved AC Valhalla but I agree, the design team did a really bad job. At Least the Saxon's armour were good tho.

@@ajayavsm7476 Valhalla sucked

@@mortemssoul6342 Not really, gameplay wise it was meh, but story and lore wise it was AMAZING. There were so many callbacks and tie-ins to the og games, and they explained and finished so many plot points after many years. Not to mention this is the best modern day we've had since Brotherhood.

I like both. Remember that suit and tie is an evolution of 19th century military uniforms

Historically Accurate? He is wearing a tablet woven belt, something only found in female graves.... a later Medieval era padded Coif, and leg tubes on the trousers which is a modern re-enactorism..... All this over looking the obvious brigandine style gloves and maille face curtain added to the Gjermundbu for full contact re-enactment

You can see some good things here, but also others that definitely need to be questioned. The helmet is not without controversy, just like the goggle helmet itself. Not having a spear, but having an axe, a sax AND a sword is probably not really historically viable, and certainly not for the "normal" peasant who goes Viking. ...

@@ferdinandvonschill4512 Ach! Entschuldigung. Sie haben Recht, Herr Major.

What about axe

Exactly why I love Vinland Saga. Historical Authenticity is pretty high level.

The fun thing is how you can see historical accuracy degrade over time, for an example as much as I find Skyrim to be "meh" the Hold guards and Stormcloaks wear what looks to a layman like me pretty accurate Viking-inspired armor. Yet in AC: Valhalla iirc they seem to wear the shitty leather tunic / literal medieval biker jacket that's prevalent in TV media, and this fuckin kills me dude. The only thing that I hate more is when a show or game sprouts the usual "hurr durr moving in armor hard" bullshit, which even most people who don't know a lot about armor know is bullshit: if the armor was so constricting, why was it used? BECAUSE IT WASN'T CONSTRICTING YOU IDIOTS

Imagine watching that shit though

Based vinland saga enjoyer.

​@@YTDariuS-my6dg well it is, just not to the degree some take it to be. There's a reason why there were so many styles to compensate for its restrictions balancing pros and cons

Certainly! Haha

I don't think he's that rich. Probably a great / experienced warrior. Or a bodyguard for a rich "Viking". Because I didn't see any details of gold or silver on his helmet. Or any jewel, especially some kind of string with symbols of some god of theirs, like Thor's hammer.

@@captare Good point, probably would be a bodyguard of sorts

Possibly a well liked and skilled huscarl to a Thane or Jarl... perhaps a mercenary or accomplished raider with an ambitious Chieftain? He doesn't seem the sort to be a ruler, much too hands on with his own equipment, but an accomplished warrior he may be to afford this much.

@@captare I see someone has noted the little details as well. Odin might want an eye that sharp.

I'll have to make some further corrections for the new "leather biking armor" video 😉

He doesnt even have horns on the helmet...

You forget the leather protection in the forearms!

@@teutonicpenguin9593 Hello, can you tell me what your pants are made of - linen or wool, and could you share a source for these pants? A pattern would be ideal, but this is not necessary.

the rigging is difficult, you can never get the vertex weights good enough to not get weird stretching in extreme head positions. then there's the whole modular bodies workflow that separates torso and head adding an additional layer of difficulty and depending on skill impossibility to the implementation of anything sharing weights on two rigs.

@@marcosnore8763 you are... insane

Viking helmets were actually pretty rare, at least that's what we could deduce if we look at the numbers of actual viking era helmets found. But yes, all the leather shit totally ruins the immersion of the show

@@JA-mg8cn I even don't want to start saying that the Eastern nations and the Rus were shown idiotically and stupid, its not that you cant say its "a mistake".

@@JA-mg8cn it's actually debatable and depends on what can be considered a helmet, because leather caps and hats were worn quite a lot at the time and did not survive through the centuries. But yes, actual metal helmets were quite rare if we look at the archeological evidence.

Ivar's men start wearing chainmail and helmets later in the series, and you see it more often rather than the leather get up after that.

@@seimar1671 ehhh... No. Its like you would say in season 2 there are angol-saxons with 16th century helmets and gods know what kind of armour, even thou you can basically google it, and make good and cheap replicas. The TV series that once was good, turned into uncontrolled garbage, when Bjorn suddenly cries for entire season, dies, ressurects. Yes there are cinematic rules, but Netflix doesn't care even a little about this. The last good season was 4, that's it.

Between the armor and the sword, a sports car and a brand new pickup truck, with options.

Depends on the era. Early middle ages? Yes. Late to high middle age? Not so much. Steel work become much more common. Even common infantry were about as well equiped. Most infantry had plate armor. The full plate suits were usually Nobility but Men at arms would have a cuirass and gear like this. Hell even peasant Levy had chain mail.

@@chris-il4qu very true but early Middle Ages up until a before the high Middle Ages is really the time of the vikings (769 - 1066 for English history) so vikings kitted out like this would’ve likely been veteran soldiers who’d plundered lots of wealth or maybe a jarl or bodyguard to one like others have suggested

@@chris-il4qu the video was about the mid viking period armor mate.

Not really. There are thousands of swords found in Scandinavia. Many sportcar owners then. It was for the richer warriors for sure, but sportscar.. meh. Helmets? Not many. But not because they didn't have them probably, more likely because they smelted them down when someone died.. there aren't that many helmet from early medieval times either even tho we know they wore them.

Problem is they not really Viking there's no prove that they wore them in Ireland or UK mainland etc same with leg warps. It really depends on what part of the world you came from.

@@thebelfastvikingmartinbrow3603 how would the lack of evidence in the UK and Ireland mean that vikings didn't wear them?

@@grimwaldgrimaldi5399 I think he's referring to the actual meaning of the word "Viking" whereas you are referring to the norse people in general. Barely anyone was "Viking", it's just a word to refer to when they go on raids.

@@nickkoekenbier7924 wrong the actual name is mail (or as the french called it, maille)

It's the Spartan helmet for me.

Yeah And also on any portrayal of any game All the leather armor and the horned helmets digust me

To be fair the Vikings were very well involved in the fur trade in Europe, it was probably the #1 export.

Oh darn! *smacks forehead* of course! How could I have made such an oversight!? I'll begin the new new viking video with the proper black leather haha

@@teutonicpenguin9593Thank you very much, greatly appreciated! Also, I can't stress this enough, but it also has to be sewn with the most atrocious cross-stitch imaginable, because it's also common knowledge, that nobody in the medieval world was able to use a needle!

@@teutonicpenguin9593 Don't forget the overlapping leather strips to make a chestpiece and cloak made entirely of wolf furs. Every Viking worth his salt had one of those. Oh, and strap some metal washers to the front of your armor too - very protective and very accurate!

Oh and don't forgot horns on their helmets You know, those things enemies could grab and control your head in the middle of a battle? Yeah those things totally makes sense for a warrior to have

@@goldietheswagbear8288 They also definitely wouldn't redirect the force of a blow struck on the horns right into your skull. No sir, physics does not exist.

The Byzantine empire was just the Roman Empire continued. And it was the Romans who made chain Mail standard soldier equipment across the entirety of Western Europe. So it májese sense that they’d look similar

Eh well the norse men would probably also cut there hair some times

I think old helmets with the full mail could be used. Not everything was cutting edge tech they would use their grandfathers helmet.

Thanks brother!!! Me too!

@@teutonicpenguin9593 outstanding!

The gjermundbu helmet has evidence of a open on the face aventail so does the yarm helmet but don’t rule out the full aventail since we only have two fully constructed helmets that have been found

And there are more than two helmets found yet they are not complete most common is the nasal or the brow of the ocular found such as the tjele helm fragment

We have several examples of full maille on helmets but none from viking helmets. That's one of the discrepancies with my kit that I'm debating. I just love the look of full maille tho lol. For my next helm I'll probably leave it open on the face

@@thebronzeviking4375 and what for the chainmail? I was under the impression that it wasn't common at all ?

@@pentheus_1644 chain mail wasn’t common on the battlefield yet we have found some examples from incredibly from really wealthy Vikings .gjermundbu helmet and the yarm helmet there are pieces of chain mail along with holes for the mail to go into on the helmet just not fully around the head

But you could still know who's who though. They had ways to do that in history too. Banners, helmet decorations, patterns painted on shields etc

@@thrownswordpommel7393 yes in large scale. But i am speaking about individuals. Also it reinforce feeling of bravery, strenght,... when you see some muscles and notice how enemies were portrayed. They had helmets, similar uniforms, same colors, they were in general smaller and they looked weaker and scared. What's better way to show primal dominance than staring and showing teeths in anger while face is covered in blood? Also fighting is portrayed very hollywoodish, if they would fight historically correct in shieldwalls in slow pace it would be boring and not interesting for major audience. After all it was created for business and entertainment considering major audience knows nothing about history and knows only popculture stereotypes
