In many science-fiction works most if not all soldiers and or police wear roughly as much plating as a medieval knight, though often made of plastic (technically composites) instead of metal. If a Space Marine doesn't have Powered Armor he'll still usually be wearing something more covering than a ballistic vest and helmet. Oftentimes this armor is portrayed as being completely useless, though sometimes it's stated that the armor is completely bulletproof, it's just that they're using lasers. Examples of We Will Wear Armor in the Future include:

Oftentimes this armor is portrayed as being completely useless, though sometimes it's stated that the armor is completely bulletproof, it's just that they're using lasers. Might be justified in that (though most militaries prefer mobility over protection) the armour provides very reliable protection against the weapons the soldiers are up against (like plate armour at its advent in the medieval times, with the armour making its wearer very hard to injure. Once more ways to bypass it arose, to be fully armoured fell out of fashion.). Or if the armor is supposed to double as a space suit (which are already bulky and cumbersome). As an aside, personal armour technology has improved dramatically in the last fifty years, whilst the average infantry rifle has actually become less powerful (cartridge sizes have decreased for the sake of accuracy, ergonomics, ammo capacity, and automatic fire capability). For this reason, this trope is increasingly looking like Truth in Television. Examples of We Will Wear Armor in the Future include:
