I made this when the canon was added, seems like a good day to post it.

Scorpion King from the start of The Mummy Returns in human form, vs Leonidas as presented in 300.

The Rock has his khopesh and shield, as pictured with no real armor.

Gerry B. has his kopis, aspis, wearing cape, bracers, greaves, and a Corinthian helmet.

Both are well rested, fighting in 100 meter diameter arena with a hard dirt floor free of obstacles. Both's fighter armies are in the stands, cheering on thier leaders, but cannot physically help or attack each other. They start against the wall at opposite sides. The arena is in a Mediterranean climate.

After seeing this maglev display stand on another post, I know I needed one.

What's the consensus on the padded obi? I've seen claims that its meant to be worn under the armor to help with weight on the hips. However I've seen it in media worn on the outside. I've ALSO seen claims not to wear it all, unless for formal wear. I see for sure it should be used when displaying the armor, but other that? Is it under, over, over for parades, or not at all?

I had a lot of issues with my kote, the mail sleeves of my Japanese armor. After wearing them only a single time, the ties started to fail. The second time I wore them, they fell apart, and just sagged down my arms. To help keep them in place and increase the durrablity, I had them sewn on to a karate gi, which I can wear under my armor. Huge improvement!

I've heard a lot of people (lore youtubers) saying Los Suenos is on the Mexican boarder, where San Diego is in real life. This mostly came from LSPD carrying out the Rust Belt operation (I assume). But the map on the bridge of Seraglio shows LS is in fact located exact where LA is in real life. This isn't just a case of them carelessly putting in a real map like on Elephant, because the map here has actually been edited to say Los Suenos.
