This reminds me that I've not watched a Lindybeige video in a while.
Probably for the better, his historic research is not all that thorough. I'd recommend Todd Todes ini (Todd's workshop) or Matt Easton over him.
Damn, I'm neither deep into history nor into movies, but I always found those scenes to be immersion-breaking, because well, apparently I was right to think that it made no sense to have your archers pause shooting. And yeah, now I'm wondering how this didn't bother the directors producing these movies.
Do you just get used to it, if you've watched lots of movies and don't question it anymore?
Or do you say, fuck it, it's a trope that viewers expect, like how knives always make a shing sound, even though they don't do that in reality..?
