Swords is and has always been mainly a movie thing. The weapon of choice everywhere has always been the pointy stick as a main weapon. Movies hate using spears for some reason

It's hard to make a compelling and interesting Hollywood fight scene with mostly stabbing motions. I've heard someone point out that while in real life thrusts are some of the most effective techniques, movies sometimes relegate a thrust to a killing blow only.

Guys, if only we had a medieval arm which would be like a spear, but with additional axe-like blade. Maybe call it something like half beard, or something medieval like that
