I'm trapped here forever

Santiago Cabrera as Cristóbal Rios
in STAR TREK: PICARD 1.03 “The End Is the Beginning”

“You can’t improve a character just by making them black!”
Venus Mcflytrap: *is improved by giving her black features*
Sometimes… a character is just screaming to be black but just wasn’t the first time around.
It’s the Betty boop principle!

This side by side comparison sure is something
on the one side we have GORGEOUSLY handcrafted armor. Looks like actual plate, the white tree of Gondor clear and easy to see and echoed on the pauldrons and even pressed into his belt! Which is folded in a LOVELY knot to hold it in place. The chainmail is REAL chainmail. And over all there’s some good wear on it, it looks like Boromir has owned and worked and lived in this armor
And on the other side we have stuff that looks like it was created for a shoe string budgeted made-for-TV Camelot production. It’s CLEARLY plastic. And wtf is that LENGTH that leaves a huge swath of his VITAL ORGANS unprotected???? The symbol is PRINTED on it, not even embossed, and so poorly you can’t even really tell what it’s supposed to be. It looks, as far as I can tell, like someone smooshed a bunch of pseudo celtic symbols together. Those shoulder things are NOT pauldrons. They seem to be some half arsed attempt at coin style chainmail? Maybe? I have NO idea what that shirt is. It looks like maybe the designers were going for a type of Gambeson, but it’s just way WAY too thin. It ALL looks like they hit the after halloween sale at party city for supplies.

This was a show with no grasp of time, no grasp of distance, and no grasp of even fantasy realism - swimming from Valinor back to Middle Earth? Shrugging off a pyroclastic flow? - so I’m not surprised it has no grasp of Hero Props.
“Hero Prop” is the term for Boromir’s armour, indeed any armour, costume or accoutrements worn by a Principal Character in LOTR or any other movie.
“Hero” has nothing to do with the character’s alignment, applying to Sauron and the Witch-King as well. It means any costume, weapon etc. made as detailed as possible because the character wearing it will be front and centre in very close shots, where an IMAX screen might make any flaws a metre high.
(Bernard Hill was amazed by the details in Théoden’s armour, some of which only he and his dresser ever saw. More here.)
Now there’s the Numenorean bargain-basement rig up there, and the full plate of the Action Heroine here.
I don’t know what it’s made of, but it looks like vac-formed, spray-painted plastic.
Compare it to an example of Elven armour from The Hobbit movies, which notoriously didn’t have anything like the development time of LOTR…
No further comment.

There are many, many things to love about episode 5 of Heated Rivalry, but the one that cracks me up the most is the fakeout where Shane is about to leave the hotel room and is fully clothed, making it seem like he and Ilya didn’t have sex
And then the reverse shot of Ilya lounging smugly in his underwear on a bed that has been ABSOLUTELY AND UTTERLY DEMOLISHED
Prev you CAN’T be leaving this in the tags
