'Cause he otherwise looks like a late-medieval MAA kitted for foot combat, not a 1500s Doppelsoldner shock trooper. The type of armour and the type of sword are from too different periods (and contexts) for me to be wholly comfortable with.
"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."
