This reminds me of when I first watched Firefly and the security forces turn up wearing the Starship Troopers armour! Completely threw be for a bit! 😆

"Threw be" sounds like what a Furby becomes immediately after switching one on, in person.

Holy shit they did you're right.

Those armor bits are in quite a few shows and cheap movies.

You'll note that's literally a twenty year old forum thread.

Apparently it's because the movie was one of the last real sci-fi movies done practically instead of with copy and paste CGI, and so they're one of the last sets of armor you could fit a squad of sci-fi goons with.

Marvel's 'Blade' Reboot

Some motherfuckers are always trying to ice-skate uphill.

So Blade has been canceled? Looks like there actually is only one Blade.
