Historical Innaccuracy Autism

I don't have the .webm right now, but what the German did was even more retarded.
He pulled the same trick, but after doing the flip and getting behind the American, he somehow managed to regain speed from like 70km/h to 400km/h in a second, didn't stall, didn't go into a spin and actually continued to gain altitude and keep up with the American.

Every single show portraits the middle ages as gray dark brown and fucking castles with bare stone walls. I know americunts have never seen a real castle but fuck's sake brits do it too!

The costumes have gotten really bad.

Look at that clothing and imagine how long it took him to put it all on.

pic related and flattop M4s in Call of Duty Black Ops are why I stopped buying major video game titles after 2012.

>bare stone walls
What else should there be? Some additional wooden constructions?

What about the part where they kill a destroyer with .50 cal?

You've got to be shitting me.

Old movies were great in it.
I bealive its called plaster in english.

The outside walls - nobody really gave a fuck, the inside however was covered in the colored plaster, tiles, some walls were entirely covered by carved wood others had cloth over them to soak in some of the dampness inherent to a stone structure,.

Oh yeah, completely forgot about that. Also just leaving their bombers behind to fight some Jerries, fuck escorting mofugga

>Setting before Post-WW2 US cultural domination
>People from non-English speaking nations use English as lingua franca to discuss with foreigners

I don't give a shit when English is used instead of the native language to reinforce immersion like in Rome or Troy, but when the movie purpotedly has several languages and dumbly implies that English was the international language in a setting like the Crusades or the 18th century, it triggers my autism

...

They typically covered them in plaster or paint or both. Its done to protect the mortar from the elements. Its one of those weird things we assume were the same when they were built as we see them today. Like Roman and Greek statues and temples were painted same with gothic cathedrals.

In some distant future, they are going to do historical dramas, set in 21st century metroplexes, and all the skyscrapers are going to be missing their windows and surrounded by dirt roads.

How did they steer before that?

>2pac's iPhone in All Eyez on Me

Wait what? Are you shitting me?

What about this guy who says the Red Tails destroyed hundreds of DAK tanks before El Alamein?

15 min mark or so.

With a giant ass paddle.

With their minds.

Most cannon on fighter planes could take out tanks of the day especially when there was little armor on top. Hundreds? maybe not...

Were the Pyramids really topped with gold? Wouldn't it warp in the Egyptian sun?

Whipstaff

Maybe a copper alloy

>Most cannon on fighter planes could take out tanks of the day especially when there was little armor on top.
Wow where to began

Nope. Along with the fact that it was historically innacurate and poorly edited, there were iPhones in the movie.

>he doesn't know that 2pac is a time traveler

By all accounts, they had electrum capstones and were covered in a smooth layer of white lime that hid the brickwork to make them look like a single solid object.

Who do you think colonized America, dipshit?
18th century and 20th century have 250 years of British hegemony sandwiched between them so I'm inclined to disagree that

Lingua franca of the modern Eurocentric world pre-WW2 was, believe it or not, French.

hit the water a couple times with a broad piece of wood

One of the men had to get in the water and push it in the direction you wanted to go.

Cultured people spoked French as a Lingua Franca.

>Ron Paul in the 1960s
>has an iPod
The time travelers aren't even trying to hide their presence anymore.

Have you ever been inside a modern stone building meant for keeping people in that wasn't painted or plastered etc? What makes you think that people in a different age would have settled for that?

>Who do you think colonized America, dipshit?
The French and Spanish, and to a lesser extent the Dutch and English. France and Spain owned the most territory in the New World by a very wide margin.

But that's not really relevant. French was the lingua franca (hence the origin of that phrase) of Europe. Matters of international commerce or law were discussed in French. If you wanted to be a diplomat you had to speak French.

>being this uneducated
France was the language of law and trade in Europe up until WW2, when English finally supplanted it.

I was curious how this would look if it were a bit more colorful. I'm pleased with how it turned out, I think it would have been much nicer with a bit of the House Bolton colors thrown in and if the soldiers actually took the ten minutes necessary to polish their armor and look presentable.

The British Empire was actually hilarously small and irrelevant until the 1830s

British "domination" lasted from the 1830s to WW1, and certainly not from the 1700s

Egyptian cities in their prime must have been a glorious sight to behold, particularly for a merchant from a shithole like the Hittite Empire or Libya.

never heard of this movie
hollywood propaganda garbage at its finest
the worst is that some uneducated people will fall for it..unbelievable

Hear hear!

>he can't tank three or four direct hits from 30mm cannon
lmao do u even lift?

What about peasants?

Not him, can't say for certain about peasants, but that guy in the screencap from GOT is supposed to basically hold a position similar to a really important Duke, or maybe even a minor king.

Yeah I know. But I wonder because I do see peasants always portrayed like pic related, and I don't know how accurate it is.

I think the blame for this lies more on Hollywood. There's now the notion that if a movie/show has a dark and gritty subject matter, it has to look dark and gritty.

>hillariously small.

b-but what about muh french and indian war.

also: Louisiana Territory wasn't even settled, much less Quebec.

palette, basically you want things to reflect the mood, so that's why Band of Brothers for instance, had a lot of washed out colors.

>And everyone was covered in dirt, mud and feces all the time. Everyone washed only once a year.
>Most lived in straw huts and shat where they ate
>Knights and lords came around and whipped the farmers and raped their daughters at their leisure.
>Casually badmouthing the church got you burned on the stake. One strike punishment.

>WW2 movie
>All the tanks are Pattons or Chaffees

>that Macross-tier thrust vectoring at 0:06

Oh fuck I'm dying

Why the fuck do GOT's directors insist on having indoor scenes at night with the worst natural lighting I've ever seen?

None of Canada was really settled
Pic related, in orange the British "empire" by the late 18th century

>Physics before the 17th century

Tired of this historical inaccuracy

You don't have to be isaac newton to understand the basic concepts of momentum user

You literally had to be Newton though.

trial and error.

You don't think some peseant in a rowboat could have figured out that when he threw something in one direction he travelled in the other direction? I'm almost certain that I knew that as a kid even before my first physics lesson

Man, you guys have autism.

>movie/documentary about Late Rome
>everyone wears togas and the soldiers are equipped with lorica segmentata and big square shields
*yawn*

>Fire arrows

pretty good game

>pullo breaks ranks and charges the enemy
>punches the centurion vorenus
>is not crucified on the spot

It's cheaper to shoot darkness and make a ton of sound effects than to shoot clear and vivid scenes.

Airbending

You just have to be very careful when you first launch your boat so you don't miss your target.

But something similar happened in real life

blacks being where they ought not to be

Lashing lines to whales.

Great helms used with full plate armor. There's a 400 year gap between them and they weren't used together.

I have time, if you've got the dime.

Mind you I said cannon, not machine guns.

I miss the old days of War Thunder... before all the .50 cal nerfs.

I was wondering why this Knight Shop ad looked weird

>Black pajama'd roof backflipping ninja, the natural enemy of the samurai!
>Fuck formation, battles devolve into 1000 1v1 duels a second after the armies make contact.
>Testudo whenever and for no specific reason cause it looks cool.
>Armour/shields that turn into paper versions of themselves whenever some poor extra needs to die as the formation takes an arrow volley or whatever for dramatic effect.

Why not? Seems sensible.

Great helms were a very primitive design constrained by the technology of the era. Once metallurgy got better, there were far more ergonomic helmet types that offered a greater amount of protection.

I know that drives historical autists mad, but I don't care. It still looks cool IMO. Cheaper too for my knight, it was cheaper to buy replica armor plate pieces than chainmail.

That looks mostly fne except for the gauntlets and sabatons

I just looked up what a Sabaton is. Why did the band Sabaton name itself after a pair of armored shoes?

They're pretty autistic for a metal band, they have lots of historical references in their songs.

Dude that movie didnt have plastered walls because someone cared about historical accuracy. Its in a studio, they're just sets

God that's ill fitting and ahistorical

Tiller

regular people on thew whole didn't speak but their own language m8, until the rise of the English tongue to dominance

contain yourself francois

america is just beautiful

that is a beautiful sallet

To be honest, everything that's themed to be before WW2 should be pitch black at night, if it's not in a major metropolis, and if its before WW1 even there

I listened to a couple of songs someone pposted on here before . They were both cringey as fuck and trite musically
