ＡＣ！Ｄ ＳＨＡＲＫ

dude has criss-crossing strips of metal bolted to a like slightly concave part of his skull that wrap around his face. what injury is this for? is it the most efficient way to do this? and then what's with his weirdass torso upholstery? that shit's digging into his skin, is it affixed to his ribcage or something? what's the reason for that? is it just like. extreme body mods? like we know it has a practical purpose, we hear sword grinding against them and an arrow plinks off his head plate so like it's offering some level of protection but this all feels a bit much

does knowing this matter to the film? not really, but i've seen these movies enough that i start thinking about this sort of thing
