What are other instances in fiction of enemy groups having cooler armor/designs than the heroes? Also, why is it always like this?

the imperials are the good guys actually
imperials aren’t necessarily enemies and they just wear knock off roman gear
pretty boring if you ask me
The Imperials arent the enemy group, those are the Thalmor and the stormcloak.
Imagine thinking an extremist racist army lead by a murderer to be the good guys.
It probably happens mostly in stories where the enemy is an oppresive force for the heroes and to make the heroes feel like real underdogs they also wear less cooler clothes.
God I want Arasaka’s samurai armor
I blame Hugo Boss
Too many imperial dogs here. Skyrim belongs to the Nords!
The Imperial’s are just weak after 200 years of no Septim on the throne, And just got lazy and just after the The Great War after the events of TESIV:Oblivion signed to be annexed by The Thalmor for survival…..
Star Wars.
I love how most of the comments are just calling out OP for being a Stormcloak
People saying Imperials are the good guys
Oh, you sweet, sweet summer children…
Just about any bad guy in Star Wars
The shadow carja in horizon zero dawn. The second i got their armor i never switched off it
Imperial Legion?
Bad guys?
Over traitorous, racist and absolutely dumb Strormcloaks? Really?
If you are going to be the bad guy, do it with *STYLE*
You N*rd!
The protagonists often need to be humanised to synpathise with their story more, so they wear more regular clothes and show their full faces to make them more relatable. With enemy designs, the concept artists can go all out because they just have to be an obstacle for the protagonist(s) to overcome without necessarily being humanised. Their facial expressions don’t matter so they can wear cool helmets.
They also need to be threathening and powerful so it actually feels like an accomplishment when they’re defeated, so they get to have the cooler and more powerful weapons.
Filthy imperials
You forgot The Empire (Star Wars).
Anyway, to answer your question: https://youtu.be/5pOdESxw1o4?si=HDcmoys8xv8dnAyX
Imperials are the heroes of Skyrim stormcloak scum
The imperial legion are the heroes in skyrim though
I would strongly say that the imperial legion is the better option
Godd Todd Howard, you did it again! You brought Skyrim to cyberpunk 2077!
FFXIV and the Garleans
Imperial legion in skyrim are the good guys, not the enemies.
Stormcloak scum.
Death to Stormcloaks!
Freaking storm cloak
