Probably because in real life, the spanish empire was the first to set foot on the islands, killing people, stealing gold etc. So the two Lego sets may be contemporary with redcoats, bluecoats and pirates in the Lego canon, but their years of fame is long gone by the time of the golden age of piracy depicted in other sets. One detail is the morion (the helmet) who is not used anymore since a good century or two. It's a little bit silly to see the soldiers wearing it, but it makes perfect sense for the dead ones as they are probably there since decades.
I love this explanation! It totally makes sense! The Spanish soldiers shown in the sets along side the other pirates should have been updated as they wouldn't have been conquistadors at that time. But the gear on the dead one's fits in more historicity. Love it! Thanks for the comment!!
Great video friend! The Armada was always my favorite faction. I bought every set that included a Spanish Armada soldier. There were so many sets with a skeleton Wearing a conquistador helmet, I guess I never realized it until now. You are right Lego systematically eliminated the faction by providing a visual explanation for their downfall 😂😂😢. Anywho, I built a spanish galleon and put the Armada on it to rival the British and French factions (red coats/ blue coats). You earned a subscriber today! Great video and awesome theories! I really enjoyed it and look forward to more videos!
Glad you enjoyed it! It was so odd to me how many dead Armada guys there were, so I had to make a video. They are definitely one of my favorite factions as well! Thanks for the sub! I truly appreciate it! I am not as active on this channel as I'd like, but if you wanna catch more content, I have a live show over at @Brickmonarch channel you are welcome to check out, and I'm mostly active on Instagram as well.
Me he divertido mucho con el video. Siento tener que desbaratar tus teorias de la conspiración, pero creo que el motivo de tanto esqueleto consquitador es por qué salieron tanto los esqueletos como los conquistadores y sus cascos, seguramente alguna persona del equipo de diseño le parecio divertido ponerles esos cascos a los esqueletos. Un saludo

there also was an armada skeleton in an indiana jones set from the fourth movie
It could be a european thing where lego has a vendetta against the spanish armada just like the rest of europe.
Definitely could be! Although they did make a couple really nice Armada sets still. But yeah, lots of dead ones at the end of the day.

This makes me want to get the Armada boat much more
It's a fantastic set !!
It was definitely the guy putting helmets on skeletons… wish they made a few more sets of this faction.
Haha! I think you’re right. 😆
Great video
Thanks! Gland you liked it. It was one of my first attempts at a CZcams video, so it's a bit rough.
maybe they are the cursed qonquisdadors form pirates of the caribbean the people who got the whole skeleton curse by the aztec gods
I love that! Totally could have been the case!
Amigo sabes que eso es una película sin rigor histórico no?
