Friday offtopic. Stupid TROP meme

I've seen so much whining about the ongoing Amazon series, The Rings of Power, such memes like this are no surprise (season 2 has just started by the way).

If we set aside the poor Photoshop skills displayed and the glaring illiteracy, the effort betrays an obvious incapacity of a considerable chunk of the public to even grasp simple things such as the difference between a heavy infantry full armor and a naval uniform.

Some folks are obviously too hell-bent on complaining about stuff than taking the opportunity to employ the few brain cells they've got left and use them for their intended purpose:

TROP may be many things, but looking cheap is the last thing I'd list.
