To anyone who thinks Spartans are supposed to be skinny for speed and agility:

Os this because lf the H4-5 armor and the Halo Infinite armor? If that’s the case I think you are confusing armor vs body shape. Of course Spartans have a lot of muscle and would be considered ‘bulky’. The bodies in the images you show probably are a bit skinnier than Spartans, who knows. The point is that the have a lot of muscle. However, that doesn’t mean their armor has to be super voluminous compared to their body. That’s where the ‘agile’ part comes in. An armor that is as strong but still follows pretty much the same shape as their body (because it’s still Mjölnir armor just different art style) would be logically better.

In the H4-5 armor you can clearly see the pieces are way to thick. Specially the parts that come from the shoulder into the chest here it’s clear that he cannot look all the way to the right or left because the helmet would hit the chest piece. One more

‘skinny vs bulky armor’ comparison Notice how the top part is so ‘thick’ compared to the rest of the body. That would definitely restrict movement a bit compared to the first one.

The other thing is the bulky shoulder pads that are not even covering the shoulder, there’s also deficiencies on the first versions but I won’t continue because maybe you are not even talking about the armor :D
