What do you think is the best armor / uniform (Fantasy, Modern or Sci-Fi) ever visually depicted in a movie or tv show.



This would not be my pick, but what would your be?

I actually prefer period pieces that use realistic armor. All this over-the-top spiked stuff just seems a bit silly to me. It's cool, but I can't imagine anyone actually wearing anything like that on a battlefield.

No seriously though, I've always loved Iron Man's armour, and the transition to the big screen was flawless.

Thulsa Dooms armor is just badass.



Even though he lost, total hardass. Also he was in Conan and looked awesome in there as well

There is just something about armour that looks like it is made from your skinned enemies. Understated, yet stills retains a certain elegance.

it's creamonial armour so it can be slightly impractical, but I think they managed to get the balance between fantasy and reality resonably well

Oh right, yeah, it kinda sucks. I think the size of the hood is disturbing. You should watch Lineage though, it's quite awesome.
