[Suzerain of Sheol]

I'm not positive, but I think the "lethal chest slash" is some kind of TvTrope. If not, it should be, given how often it happens in films.

Which is what made this so awesome, is that it's looking like the barbarian guy is going to kill the knight with one of those, but then he does a chest slash on him and all the sudden, everyone realizes at once, "hey, he's wearing plate and mail" right before the knight kills the guy for thinking he's in a less realistic fantasy movie. :p

Edit: also, and you know, that's thing. The Dothraki don't use any kind of armor, and so, they've never developed weapons to counteract it; they mainly wield some kind of khopesh/scimitar hybrid, which... as a light-weight cutting blade, is about as useful as a butter knife against plate armor.

Because... you know, these guys didn't go into battle historically wearing 100 pounds of metal for fun; armor worked, especially against cutting weapons, which is what makes the LotR chest slash so ridiculous. Why should Gondor even waste the resources armoring their troops if the armor doesn't help them survive?
