This is a great article but I do think the Atreides armour _could_ look different from medieval armour. Any physical power has to be applied while you’re already inside the shield. This probably affects where is effective.
- recursivecaveat 2y agoGood point, "the slow blade penetrates the shield" would imply to me that the kind of big downward swing at the shoulders that you would want pauldrons to protect against is just not possible.
- adastra22 2y agoSomething the older Dune movie got right, iirc. In the new movies there’s a lot of fast blade action. In the older one, any fast strike would bounce off. Some trickery was required to get a slow blade past the shield. Been a while since I watched it though…
