Do Your Worst (or best?)

Ouch. I suggested Bofuri as well based on the typical armour (though I considered "inexplicable"), but I did not know that machine god abomination existed.

I'm sorry to disappoint, but I've already filmed and edited the video! But you know, just for you, that looks like a pretty decent outfit for battling viruses...except for the shoes. They mostly hide her feet (there's no one else in the scene, just give her flat boots!) but when I did see them I thought ah, the 90s, because that's exactly what that shiny boot with chunky block heel evokes for me :D Which, since Voyager is a 90s show, makes sense. (Plus she has her hair tied back. Always a positive.) Also: MACROVIRUS KNIFE FIGHT, AMAZING In my scoring system for the upcoming video, it would be 'not actually armour' but shoes aside I think it works.

I became a patreon just now so I could vote here, because why not? What about the Janeway outfit (or female Star Trek outfit in general)? Example: https://youtu.be/fZv71AXmMBQ Here Janeway is out of uniform and doing guerrilla combat against Macroviruses but wearing wedge heels.

Sadly I'd already filmed by the time this came in, but we can talk about them on Saturday if you're at the stream? First impression: how does baring your thighs max out your defence, young lady? (At least she has a shield. Shields are worth a lot of points in my personal scoring system.) Also the Machine God armour is making my brain hurt. XD

I would not classify Centaur World as a kid's show; animation does not children's fare make.

Ann Brookens

The pregnancy armour from "the Spanisch princess"

Bofuri: I don't want to get hurt so I maxed out my defense. (Anime) Good: Maple's typical armor Worst: Maple's Machine God armor.

And very, very good: Bobbie Draper in the Goliath Mk. III Power Armor in The Expanse. https://gndn.wordpress.com/2016/09/06/the-expanse-martian-power-armor/

For good, Lagertha and the other shield maidens on Vikings. https://twitter.com/zlatanimal/status/1267431560241913857 https://vikings.fandom.com/wiki/Shield-maiden

Morgana from Excalibur (1981) I can only find stills of her in armor, not YouTube clips. https://filmblitz.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/excalibur-678x381.jpg (This would be somewhere between bad and inexplicable.)

Oh we can definitely do those! :)

Jill Bearup

Yes! I second Samus from Metroid (the iconic armor and not the zero suit). My suggestion would be Alesha who smiles at death from magic the gathering

Bill Carroll

Jeannanne Goossen as Tomoe Gozen in Riverworld, wearing samurai-type armor.

This is a more recent one! In Netflix's animated Centaurworld (a bizarre yet fantastic show), Rider has a decent armour set, so does Horse for that matter ;) Some pretty good armour even though it's a kid's show! One that I'm still trying to decide whether or not I like is Morgana's armour from Merlin (more specifically her chainmail/metal corset number). Every time I look at it, I still can't decide if it's fine, or if I hate it!

OK, for some of the absolute worst, i would nominate any and all Night Elf lady armour from World of Warcraft. For good armour, I would nominate the armour Cate Blanchette wore as Elizabeth or perhaps Leelee Sobieski's turn at Joan of Arc.

I wonder if you could share your thoughts about when armor conceals that there’s a woman inside? Like Princess Leia in bounty hunter’s armor or Samus in Metroid? Or would this not be the video for it?
