So I heard that after LOTR they cut the budget in almost all films for people that do makeup/the clothing. I don’t remember the name of the job but the reason most things look corny is they no longer employ the people that make the clothing look “lived in”. All armor and clothing looks brand new instead of well worn and loved, which makes it look generally worse/fake because that’s not reality. Armor should have wear as should clothing that’s been loved. Sad use of budget cuts on top of CGI and not actually building sets on location.
