Battle scenes where the armies hold their line and don't make a moshpit?

literally For Honor

>Captain Alatriste
Thanks, couldn't remember the name of the film.
The final battle in Kagemusha muskets v cavalry.

don't care

You.

Yes, you. The one screaming, "Brie Larson is toxic" and "Her movie is shit!" and other slurs I dare not mention. Tread lightly.

You are one. We are hundreds, thousands. Millions. You aren't just IN the minority; you ARE the minority.

I don't feel awkward or anxious going to watch Captain Marvel at least five times around others, and your words don't affect me. Many others, however, are coming out of their shells for the first time in their lives. This is the first time many are enjoying the beautiful movie that has been made for us - and it IS powerful. Incredibly so. DON'T ruin this for them. We Captain Marvel fans may have our differences, but we will not hesitate to come to the aid of our fellow fans, especially against someone who so virulently slurs that which has brought us all together.

Don't take this the wrong way. I don't hate you. I don't fear you.

I pity you....

I'm sorry that you feel this way towards us. I'm sorry that Captain Marvel and Brie are such a bane to your existence. And I'm sorry that you are missing out on such a wonderful experience. Mostly, though, I'm sorry that you feel the need to go around and publicly chastise and berate others. I'm sorry that, to ensure your own validity, you need to make others feel invalid. I'm sorry that your self-worth is so infinitesimally miniscule that you have to make others feel less-than-human, at least in your own denatured mind, just to feel whole. I am truly sorry that day-in and day-out you have to put up with your worthless, meaningless, Shakespearean tragedy of a life.

I ask you politely to cease your unnecessary cries for attention, and instead invite you to join our ranks. Stop watching porn and anime, go to cinema to watch Captain Marvel, and breathe in the splendour and the amazement of this movie, and then, maybe, just maybe, you'll see what you've been so hopelessly searching for this whole time.

Braveheart is a disgusting cis male power fantasy, stop giving it attention girls.

It makes logical sense most of the time, fighting in lines is for highly trained soldiers. People in a Coup D'Etat or ragtag group would rather fight like a mob like Mulan or Ghengis Khan did.

they should've shown how William Wallace was ACTUALLY punished/executed

Did they chop off his penor?

>Claymores
Afaik you can call Claymore both the two-handed one and the basked-hilted one. You mean don't even the TH sword existed back then?
I agree on the rest.

the vikings staring kirk douglas

Braveheart is around 1300, 2H swords were not really popular until much later. Not unheard of but unlikely. The braveheart sword they have in a museum is pure 19th century larp I believe.

it would have made him seeing the ghost of his dead wife walking through the crowd even more poignant.

if only there was someone to tell us that the movie we watched isn't entirely histo-OH WAIT GOOD HE'S HERE THANK GOD WHEW THAT WAS CLOSE

Not everybody is a dumb zoomer like you user

well they were clearly in use 100 years later. Probably someone started earlier. I think compared to the rest of the movie, is not that bad.

3 rounds a minute against them bastard frogs lad.

The Last Kingdom has shieldwall battles, only bad thing is that the west saxons use weird rectangle shields for some raisin.

Most post-rome European militaries weren't trained well enough to fight in ranks. Fighting pretty regularly devolved into a mosh.

> you ARE the minority

do i look like a minority to you?

Didn't Genghis use a lot of cavalry formations though?

Yeah, I know. But is an earlier episode.
>inb4 muh helmets

what shield shapes did they use? I thought it was the teardrop shaped ones that were inaccurate

Except they weren't, people used poleaxes, warhammers and other specialised weapons. Two handed swords were only popular during pike and shot era. Big swords were really, really expensive and used for ceremonies and processions, not battles.

I'm going to hurt you

it's common knowledge that the best tactic was to split up into a bunch of really cool 1v1s with really sweet combos

>The two-handed claymore was a large sword used in the late Medieval and early modern periods. It was used in the constant clan warfare and border fights with the English from circa 1400 to 1700.
>Although claymores existed as far back as the Wars of Scottish Independence they were smaller and few had the typical quatrefoil design
Not all the wars are fought in the same way, at least not in the same countries and conflict scales, mr Dunning-Kruger.

That fight in The Eagle is garbage. Using a Testudo like that would have seen the Roman group killed in a matter of minutes.

this one lol

Fair enough, don't know much about Scots tbqh famalan.

Soldiers from wessex use these for some reason, meanwhile the mercians and danes use period accurate shields.

You were supposed to insist and call me a faget but ok
are you new?

brainlet

This is Yea Forums, not /his/. I prefer discussing history or literature here rather than their respective boards, it's much comfier.

The other bad thing is the MC has to teach the Saxons how to form a shield wall because it's top secret Danish technology.

fair enough

His troops were highly organized in effective fighting groups. Not exactly formation fighting but a lot more disciplined then movie armies.

They would break ranks to let nobles 1v1. Not really that uncommon. There's a story about one of the guys in Outlaw King pausing a battle to settle a feud and kill an English nobleman one on one. Both sides let it happen.
No they didn't. The difference between classical armies and medieval armies is the inferior technology of the former and the inferior civic logistics of the latter.

The best thing was swiveling the shields 90°. That and the shields with peepholes. I bust a gut laughing every time Utred has to bend over walking through a doorway to avoid catching his sword on the frame.
