People complaining about gaming "becoming" reliant on "nostalgia pandering" is really funny because early 80s video games soundtracks were obsessed with ragtime and soul, genres that were popular in the 50s and 60s respectively.
It’s pretty well documented that even though they can be pretty cool in fiction, Scythes are not very good weapons in real life.

Which got me wondering, how do these 3 different types of Scythes rank in real life effectiveness from worst to best?

A regular scythe with a tall handle?


A pair of dual scythe’s that have shorter handles?


A kusarigama? Aka a chain sickle with a weight attached.

It kind of makes me wonder why scythes are used much in fiction if they are not good weapons in real life.

They look cool, and they're associated with the Grim Reaper. Usefulness as a weapon in real life has never stopped things from being popular weapons in fiction.

Yeah, I know. I just thought people would have thought about how effective scythes were before making them widely used in fiction...

...And it seems I was wrong.
