I'm a paramedic. I've attended patients in a lot of Indian reserves. The "majority diabetic" tribal population is probably (and unfortunately) the most authentic part of the show.
If you’re from any ancestry that gives you susceptibility to ill health if you eat lots of carbohydrates, and carbohydrate-rich food is all you can afford…
@@markiangooley bs, if they just ate less of the food they "cant afford" they wouldnt be obese and they wouldnt be diabetic. Then they can buy a multivitamin if they need it, which cost cents. Someone being obese because they "cant afford food" is nonsense.
@@markiangooley Well you CAN afford other stuff in general. Carbs (especially sugar) are just convenient and tasty. As a cook for over 20 years who buys the food, I KNOW it's a falsehood that "healthy food" is prohibitively expensive. We can provide balanced meals for large numbers of people for less than takeout daily.
I always like to point out Sarah Connor's escape from the hospital in T2 as a fairly believable case of a small woman taking on a large man. 1. He was an orderly, not a trained fighter. 2. She took him by surprise by pretending to be drugged 3. She acted quickly 4. She went for the legs to get him off his feet 5. She armed herself with his baton to take him out. There was nothing physics defying. It took away his physical advantages and ended things quickly.
It's almost as if movies in those days understood how to actually make female action stars believable and actually work within their strength and size disadvantages against men, as in they had to be more clever in their approach to these situations, opposed to modern disney having women take on multiple men twice their size. As the old saying goes, characters are only as smart as their writers
The modern focus on absurd girl-boss silliness helps no one, and it has almost certainly caused some women, girls, or skinny guys to take dumb risks when they *should* have instead run for their lives screaming for help. The Sarah Connor scene might have led someone somewhere to survive by fighting smart when they otherwise would have died. By contrast, the MCU is sending some dumb and dangerous messages.
6) she was literally training for that moment the entire time she was in the facility. Doing push-ups and chin-ups to stay in shape. Whether that would work is debatable, but she escaped because of her character
I love how even the bad guys took the time to learn sign language to kick a deaf womans a$$- they’re very considerate and truly reflect the gangsters of our time.
“Whoa whoa guys. She’s deaf. It’s not very sportsmanlike if we don’t tell her we’re gonna beat her ass. Thankfully, I’ve signed up the whole gang for ASL classes. Just cos we’re bad guys doesn’t mean we’re *bad guys,* fellas”
That fact there are so called marvel fans who think this is just as good Netflix’s daredevil is just sad. Just proof that some people will watch literally anything on tv.
Wait... Echo in the comics is deaf, not an amputee. Her power is she has photographic reflexes (hence 'Echo'), which would be nigh impossible one-legged. Do the 'writers' think giving her double disabilities on top of being a minority female sends her to the top of the progressive stack?
I'm 100% convinced that this was purely a virtue product and that they DGAF about the character. After all, they said that her powers were boring or lame (can't remember which), so they changed them entirely. And then they hyper-focused on ASL and her heritage.
The actress has a prosthetic leg in real life, so they decided to write that into the character. That is the only reason she is an amputee. I suppose the diversity points didn't hurt either.
@@TaoScribbleYes, her powers are "lame". Echo can fight as good as Daredevil and aim like Bulleye just from watching them. She's a virtuoso piano player despite being deaf because she saw a great concert pianist one time. What a lame power to have.
@@TaoScribbleThey changed nearly everything about the character from the comics: they changed her powers, her tribe and made her an amputee. Let’s be honest here, the show wasn’t done for any kind of love for the comic book character at all.
The dumb thing is, If they had left Echo's original power set, Hired someone who could actually act, Hired a fight choreographer who had a pulse, Backed off focusing on the heritage and instead focusing on how Echo felt after leaving Kingpin's employ and trying to put her life back together, Left Kingpin as a badass violent actual threat instead of huge gaping vagina. This might have possibly been a decent show. But no. Disney gonna Disney.
See this is the criticism I like There’s potential in almost everything Disney Marvel tries to do They just don’t use that potential because their writers are hacks
Since she's totally deaf, she can easily be defeated by just turning off the lights or hitting her in the face with a high lumen flashlight, thus rendering her blind and deaf and incapable of fighting back or defending herself.
Deaf people actually still feel the rhythm with their bodies. Well, for example, in the same way that you can feel the shaking of a building with your feet
@@Tevi_L7151 Won't be enough, but if you want to insist, then toss in a boom box with the base cranked up so all she'll feel is the rhythm of the beat.
Az is absolutely right. The editing in the show is terrible. The fade in fade out’s scene transitions were killing me. I kept thinking the show was about to go to commercial break.
And if you looked closely, that fight at the roller skating rink was STICHED together from MULTIPLE takes of what was MEANT to look like a seamless shot... It looked like a RU-vid video where they've trimmed out bits of speech, but since they're in the same spot you almost don't notice the little 'jump-cuts'!
I felt what made black widow work so well as a female fighter is just how flexible, agile, and skilled she was/was portrayed, using techniques reminiscent of Taichung and kravmaga to use the weight and power of her opponents against them. She gave off the impression that despite the clear strength gap of her fighting against a mob of men much bigger and stronger then her that even put in that situation I would not only expect her to win, but I BELIEVED she could win and UNDERSTAND HOW she won. The fact that they portrayed this deaf, one legged tiny woman as a fucking strength-sentric brawler of all things without any real super strength powers is baffling. Like she can copy fighting techniques… so what? Your mostly going up against goons and shit who at most are gonna know some boxing. You gonna copy there boxing and out box the 200 pound 6,2 wall of muscle?
And Nat also fights by any means necessary. She hits someone with a wrench, bites clint , punches Bucky in his balls. She is quick and precise and delivers a very strong sting. She was very believable. All other female heroes after her has been garbage
Who said she has to copy her immediate opponent? In the comics, she copies techniques and stores them for later use. She can apparently play the piano because she watch a performance of a piano player once.
With regard to the slow fight scenes, I am reminded of the VERY intentional slowness of a fight scene in Get Smart. It was hilarious. It was especially hilarious because the actors moved in slow-mo, not the camera. And they made it blatantly obvious. Fantastically funny, but it was SUPPOSED TO BE.
Well, just there you proved you are smarter and more creative than the writers for Echo. She’s supposedly disabled, yet neither her lack of hearing nor her missing leg do more than minorly inconvenience her, and her opponents never take advantage of the fact that she has an artificial leg that can be taken away from her. They might as well just made her “able” for all they didn’t make creative use of her disabilities.
@neillindgren8992 ah, but you're forgetting that she's a strong independent woman, which is like 200% in comparison to a straight man, so even with a gimpy leg, she's still 175%, or if you're using woke algebra, that makes 300%
I haven't watched the show, but I feel like the reason they never target her fake leg (and why signers are _everywhere,_ if I'm understanding correctly) is because the show is afraid to "offend" or come of as "insensitive". But instead it just ruins believability because no one looking to physocally hurt you is going to give a crap about speaking your language. And they *_absolutely_* are going to go after the glaring 'weak point' that is a fake leg.
That’s the point with a series wanting to be dark: the bad people have to be offensive and unlikable. It’s also the point with superhero tales: the hero has to be challenged by the villains, best by going for his weakness. To overcome weakness of mind and body is part of the hero’s journey. If everybody just tries to not offend the hero, the story loses also any verisimilitude as the stuff becomes just ridiculous. So yeah, obviously some people should have openly mocked her for being deaf, some villains should have destroyed her fake leg, just to gloat and see her humiliated. Her overcoming these obstacles is what would make her a memorable character and a strong message. But yeah, the show wasn’t produced for anything but to show how virtuous the people at Marvel are … fake and holier than thou, but hey, at least liked by their peers on x-itter.
I could be totally off the mark, but I vaguely remember in one of the Punisher seasons there was a scene where Curtis - Punisher's amputee friend - gets his ass kicked by his own fake leg and I do not remember outrage over that.
@@ArseniyShved Yes, I was going to comment that myself in reply. Curtis was beating up Lewis but then the guy used his own fake leg to beat him down. And there was no outrage then for sure. Disney is just stupid.
The thing that frustrates me is the American Sign Language relies on facial expressions to add an emotional tone to the signing. The face is what most people do with the tone of the voice. It is how serious or light the signed words are conveyed. Also Sign Language is not universal. Someone that knows American Sign Language but goes to a different country, Mexico, does not work. Oh, you can communicate and get your point across but it is like taking one year of Japanese and trying to hold an in-depth conversation in Japanese, with a native speaker. You are going to get some strange looks and make some social mistakes.
I find the fact no one just takes her leg hilarious given that we've actually seen that done in The Punisher. Curtis is a big fucking guy but during his fight with Lewis after he caught him in that murdered fake vet's house, Lewis takes his prosthetic leg off and beats Curtis. Fuck me I don't like Disney lmao.
That would require creativity and the writers actually caring about what they’re writing, not that the script doesn’t get totally mangled by the directors, producers, and Disney management even if they were good and did care.
And they are right, it’s a missed opportunity to put her into a tight situation that would challenge her. We all would feel for her having to get out of there without the leg and could be surprised by her ability to improvise and adapt. Villains should attack the heroes weakness and the heroes should have to overcome that.
I didn’t watch TLoS. After having seen some reviews, it started to dawn on me that the video game was the better version of the story and I hence don’t need to watch the series. PS: I don’t acknowledge Abby and whatever kind of fever dream Ellie had. TLoS is a one and only game, no sequels exist.
@@davidgantenbein9362 Mauler and co certainly thought it was genuinely good if not great. It's certainly worth checking out for that reason alone. I'm not because I'm not interested in supporting a show with a bold faced agenda that will eventually end up disappointing. That's just me though.
@@MundaneThingsBackwards I don’t doubt that the series is ok or good, I just think that the changes I heard of are bad compared to the original game. It’s a kind of „I don’t want my memory of the game be diluted by a series“. Unlike i.e. Sonic or Mario, is TLoS already quite cinematic as an experience. So making a series out of it isn’t per se a completely new experience. So I doubt that I miss a lot here.
Ironically, it would be far more realistic than what we got. The writers Disney hires are so sheltered and naive that they don’t know anything about how things in the real world function. Windshield’s don’t break like that.
Echo : the damned near endless repetition of a RBF. She's just the Native American version of Ashoka. From bored to smug in under 3 seconds. Oh, I think there may have actually been a grimace from time to time. But Ashoka is much more openly emotional... she crosses her arms and stuff...
@@justlivin2499 Absolutely. Rosario Dawson is a good actress. Loved her in the Netflix Marvel shows, but as Ahsoka... she just crosses her arms and stuff, which is fine... unless that's ALL you do. Smug, arms crossed. Then she crossed her arms and looked smug. Then she crossed her arms WHILE looking smug. Not much in the way of emotional range.
More like she's a version of Captain Marvel who's a version of Korra from Avatar. This insufferable version of the Mary Sue trope has a long, long history. It's hysterical how lazy these douchebags are.
Yes Charlie wasn’t a great fighter in season 1 of daredevil but he was so committed to doing all the fights that he practiced so much that eventually he was doing most of the badass in season 2
You mean he cared enough to put some effort into improving his performance? Instead of gaining 20 pounds during a hiatus and needing to have their costumes altered? I guess she had pretty good 'job security. Imagine the difficulty finding ANOTHER Deaf Native American Amputee actress!
@@StreetPreacherrWell, that’s what happens when a company restricts themselves to only using actors of exactly the same groupings like race, gender, disability, etc, to play a character of those groupings. If they try to go for a home run and have a character that checks multiple check-boxes, they end up with a small pool of actors to choose from (often leading to hiring people with dubious acting skills), and they’re out of luck if they need a replacement. Not that I feel sorry for Disney for all the problems their politically correct casting has brought them - if I’m crying for them, it’s because I’m laughing at them so hard.
And the makers of the Netflix show were smart enough to work with Cox’s limitations. The fight choreographers gave him a few moves he was able to do; the casting director found a stunt double that looked and moved like him; and the writers left his mask on the whole time and set most of his fight scenes in the dark, so it was easy to hide when they swapped him out for his double. That’s way too much work for Current Year Disney.
@@neillindgren8992 Deadpool 2 killed a stuntwoman by inisiting on highing a stunt double that 'matched' a character (had to be a women and black a very small pool of talent) and she wasn't good enough to do the stunts.
I feel like the cousin should have been the one to get the ancestral powers. They're still a dumb and stereotypical but she's one of the only actually good people in the family. She's a fire fighter, she constantly tried to reach out to Maya when she moved to New York. Meanwhile Maya has killed people at Fisk's command and is the reason her childhood home was even under threat.
Wouldn't want to make the bag guys seem like bad guys. "Come on, even Kingpin isn't an ablist sexist misogynist, why can't you white men just do better?" I miss the '90s.
I've said in other areas ... Drinker, Az, Bonebridge ... Gary, Disparu, Razorfist et. al ... Yes, these videos are more entertaining than the episodes they discuss. But not only that--taken together as a niche, micro industry--I'm willing to bet they get more views and organic interaction reviewing an episode of Echo or Ashoka or etc .... than the episodes of Echo or Ashoka or etc. get.
Blue Eye Samurai: I actually earned my fighting skill from a literal lifetime of constant training backed by a single minded desire for vengeance against the evil men who wronged me and my mother. How did you get yours? Echo: I’m deaf, and if you’re a man that’s good enough for me 🥴
Remember when Curtis was fighting Lewis in Punisher season 1, and Lewis grabbed his artificial leg after struggling to get it before using it to knock Curtis out? Yeah, that fight was good. Two trained soldiers and one using his opponent's weakness, a disability, to his advantage and win despite not necessarily being the more skilled fighter
Per: the fighting: this is why in pro wrestling, it is well known that you need BOTH people in a match to be talented and capable so that neither one has to carry the match for the other.
@@Werewolf.with.Internet.AccessIt’s actually true. It’s uncanny how easily he is to recognize despite the helmet and how easy he is to read … and I mean being stoic is the whole deal of Dredd, but Urban manages to sell the stoic with the emotions below. Love that ending, when she thinks that she failed despite it being obvious that he thinks differently. It’s uncanny how Urban sells that scene.
That scene from Daredevil where Kingpin suddenly attacks that guy in the limo? Incredible. I am not a Marvel comic book reader and I never really "got" why Kingpin is a big deal, but D'Onofrio convinced me. All Disney is doing here is exploiting the hard work done by other creators under other auspices. I believe if they ever got Spider-Man back they'd find a way to make it suck.
Me too. The very word Disney makes my skin crawl n feel mild nausea at this point It’s beyond just brand damage ; it’s definitely cultural sabotage but liked lame attempts at social engineering, propaganda and my guess is fully by design
Anyone notice in the first episode when she dozes off while riding her bike, what wakes her up? It was the horn of a truck. On top of that, it was the horn of a truck that traveling in the same direction, why would that driver even know she was asleep?
Ah yes, the highly professional, creative, super-intelligent elite Disney writers. What masterpiece writing. 👏 Well, I suppose that’s what you end up with when you make up a show as you go along.
Just watched that scene. Was it the horn that woke her up, or the bright lights she drove too close too? Either way, the scene is poorly conveyed and the truck seems to honk for no reason.
@@DuneStone6816 haven't watched it but a steelman guess, I would honk if i was driving and saw someone drifting, either to wake them up or warn other drivers shit was about to go down.
In WW2 there was a one-legged British fighter pilot named Douglas Bader. He ended up as a German POW and after some escape attempts his captors confiscated his wooden leg... So, yeah, it's a fairly obvious solution.
In the fight with daredevil, the actress has no composure or grace at all, she poses instead of holding a stance. The legwork is telling. It makes me cry tears and scream. 12 years of getting yelled at in the dojo and I have to see THIS shite! I am gonna convert and become a berserker of Khorne if I have to watch it again...
I said this before but this show is the woke equivalent of movies produced under the Hays Code of old Hollywood. It's just a checklist, not a show. And you can't do anything interesting with it because it goes against the woke Hays Code. When I saw that fight scene that went viral, I thought it was a sparring session lol Considered making a video on it but what's the point? Decided to revisit older movies.
The Hays Code actually forced writers to be creative and sneak things past the censors. Wokeness obliterates any possibility of being subversive. I'd take the Hays Code back in a heartbeat if it meant we'd do away with the current "politically correct" regime.
@@roberthayes7737 yeah, I agree with that too. I meant more that the Hays Code hurt the overall industry and people flocked to international productions. I just hope something better rises from the ashes like it did with old Hollywood. But the current crop of writers, I know a few as I'm mostly an indie screenwriter but it's the damn narcissism and lack of life experience that kills everything. I worked first as an automation technician before I got into screenwriting and editing. I would not hire someone with a solo writer resume but that's all we get now. Cookie cutter CVs.
Sign language worked in Fargo season 1 with subtitles between the 2 hitmen, 1 deaf one not. They played with it because sometimes there were subtitles and sometimes the other hitman translated, which built tension, humour and intrigue. Extremely well done. So why couldn't they pull it off here?
I just didn't understand why they had the actors speak in WHISPERS while signing to her? If they need to sign then I guess that means she CAN'T READ LIPS? So if the speaking was just for the viewer's benefit, then why not have them speak at NORMAL VOLUME? And maybe I've just been misled by movies/tv, but she's been deaf since BIRTH but NEVER learned to READ LIPS? IS LIP READING harder/less common than I've been led to believe?
I really only have limited experience with deaf people. But the person I knew was able to read lips (though we usually would really try to pronounce it well for him to understand, don’t know if it makes a difference though). Nobody at that job knew how to sign and I actually never saw him using sign language, so I don’t even know how good he was at that. Sadly he never learned to speak properly, but I was told that this was mainly due to his age and that with younger generations nearly all of them would learn to speak. That’s about my experience with deaf people, but I imagine the USA to be different given their healthcare system.
Just remembered that yet again, Japan does it better again. The main character in an anime called "Ranking of Kings" is deaf and they handled that WAY better than this affront to God. Everyone in his inner circle uses sign language, although, unbeknownst to them, he picked up lip reading somewhere along the way.
I would love to see how the Japanese would handle a character of aboriginal ancestry, an Ainu. There are maybe 25,000 people in Japan who know they’re Ainu, but perhaps ten times or more that many who have Ainu ancestors but don’t know it.
Problems with disney is they're doing the same trick over and over and expecting new waves of applause and adoration. How many strong, deaf women of color have been dropped into the Marvel Universe since TWD loaned out their diversity hire? 3, 4x in a row? Then they turn around and objectify Matt and make cringe blind jokes right after apologizing for being insensitive. 😂 They also introduced a paraplegic in the MCU then immediately snapped his neck because he's the Patriarchy. What amazing and diverse representation. Bucky is an amputee and got shit character service throughout TFAWS. Disarmed by Wakandans, told he doesn't know anything about struggle because he isn't black but then immediately gets arrested based on an assumption that he's a Russian agent absconding from probation (prejudice). The pandering just gets worse the further we go on.
Xena totally eclipsed Herc in that department around the end of the first season. And both those shows were doing that on a *fraction* of the budget Marvel has for these Disney+ shows.
Not to be rude but, could she not have gotten in better shape for the role? You're playing a comic book character with a 6 pack afterall. Jackman, Gadot, Hemsworth etc all got absolutely cut/jacked for their roles, of you know, superheros. Maybe I'm asking too much for someone to commit fully to the role they've been casted for.
@@DeMarisM Smh lol, its like Drinker throwing on claws and excpecting us to believe he's Wolverine. Sure he's white and has a beard, but theres more to it
I don't know about Gadot, but all those guys were saucing to look the way they did, and that's just for the sake of schedules. Natty ripped is a full time job, worse if you've never been an athlete. I wouldn't push roids on a woman, but I wouldn't cast someone who had zero stunt or fight experience.
Villains are routinely written as if they're less intelligent than they would need to be in order to be a legitimate threat. I think we can all apply suspension of disbelief to still enjoy the media in which those villains appear. But having villains rendering Echo unconscious and then _NOT REMOVING HER PROSTHESIS_ is absolutely nonsensical. if you capture an enemy with a prosthetic leg, you're definitely going to remove that prosthesis.
Good for you, man. I’m native too. The term Indian comes from Columbus calling the ancestors “Una gente en Díos”. “One people in God.” That seems like a term of endearment to me if anything, not an offensive or triggering term.
Don't worry, there were no Natives in this show. They're fictional aliens skin-walking as North Americans tribes. 😂 Whoever thought that shit up should get shit-canned. It was just as cringe as Africans making ape noises and fighting underwater Aztecans.
Maybe it's just because I'm a white devil but an Indian whose superpower is to "call on her ancestors" seems like such a stereotype that it's outright racist.
What's super interesting about the conclusion of "taking his pain away" is that they did that exact same thing at the end of Legion Season 3, he'd become too powerful so they just go back and purify the little baby version's memory
No you guys don’t realize, they’re saving Daredevil so they can humiliate him to prop up ANOTHER girlboss hero. Why waste two on a character they obviously don’t actually care about? Disney’s all about maximizing the MESSAGE. My money’s on them making Elektra their new girlboss obsession. They’ll forget all about Echo, chuck her out like a broken toy, and move on to the next thing they can suck dry.
I think I know how Disney is going to pull out of this slump 1. Make horrible content 2. YT names get big watching so we don't have to 3. More bad content 4. More YT channels 5. Disney sees a rating resurgence because the number of You Tubers exceeds "the rest of us"😂
The problem is they went for the wrong check boxes. They felt it was more important to find an actor who was female, Native American, deaf and had only one leg…..that’s a VERY small pool of people with acting experience to draw from, and in fact, I believe she HAD NO acting experience! Would have been better to find a Native American actress with martial arts fighting skills and then just coach her in ASL and CGI the damn leg.
The Netflix Daredevil series made anything disney makes just watered down. The Netflix series just did not care about the violence or language. They created good characters with great stories and developement. There was zero pandering in any of those series, Jesicca Jones , Punisher, and Luke Cage.
What I find interesting is that my feed is suddenly showing me more and more videos of channels against the GG crew and openly apologizing and cutting down Critical, Ryan Kinnel, AZ, Mauler and SW theory. The shills are really trying to make this shit good. Anyone apologizing for this show or the Rey trilogy needs their heads examined
About the crappy fight scenes: they didn´t bring back Philip Silvera & Chris Brewster, the stunt/fight coordinators of the Netflix DD series, neither will they work on the upcoming Daredevil: Born Again series, despite the fact that these guys have stated numerous times, that they would love to work again on a DD-related project for the MCU. And they have actually done work for other MCU projects recently. That speaks volumes....
The final fight with Echo against Kingpin must have been written by the one living person that thought Star Trek V The Final Frontier was the greatest film ever made. She wasn't really channeling her ancestors, she was channeling what was considered shit Star Trek before Nu Trek taught us what shit trek really was. She basically turned into the despised brother of Spock no one knew existed until that film, Sybok Then she proceeded to mind meld with Kingpin to take away his pain just like Sybok did to his cult followers in that film. Her super powers are basically that of an insane Vulcan.
Look, I am very happy that Disney, Marvel, Pixar and DCEU is making my favorite RU-vidrs some money, but for fuuuck sakes I am tired of all this bad news, bad shows and shit movies. There must be good movies on the way we can talk about. I am probably the only one of 10 people excited about the new Hellboy movie, but we hear nothing about that, but all news seem to be Disney related. I know why, because the algorithm are pushing this content, but can we try this year to change the algorithm to search for good news??
I hope to god Jon Bernthal does not return to a Disney lead Punisher. I waited my whole life for a proper Punisher and I got 2 seasons and a good part of a Daredevil season. I can’t deal with that being ruined. I wish I got more but I don’t even want to think of seeing what Disney will do to him. Thankfully he seems principled enough to walk away
When you guys talk about her prosthetic leg all I think about is Rocket asking Quill to get that guys leg in the G.O.T.G Vol. 1. Rockets reaction after Quill brings him the leg and it was a bullsh*t task 🤣👏🏻
My fav review was the castles, weapons and armor guy Edit: it's Shadiversity, but on his movie review channel called Knights watch .... he was furious about Echo. LOL
Echo is a strong independent woman who don’t need no foot. Can we all agree that Disney only released this show because if they canned it the media would give them hell. You know Disney was looking at Echo and was seeing the tax write off right in front of them thinking “damn we fucked up” Disney’s loosing billions and they just lost Micky Mouse, they’re definitely bleeding. And where there’s blood, corpses are soon to follow. I can’t wait for Snow White to come out, this is going to be hilarious, and then there’s the Rey movie, that alone gives me hope that something fun will happen. I wonder which will happen first, will the Rey movie release first, or will Mewbshlie release TFA part 6, I guess only time will tell.
They will NEVER have a baddie take her leg away, or have someone take advantage of her deafness to sneak up on her, because they will NEVER admit that giving a character a disability or two or three without compensating for it (as with Daredevil) is inherently a disadvantage.
I have zero faith that Disney will get Punisher right. I don’t even think Netflix got him completely right for that matter either in his own series. In my opinion the most accurate portrayals are in War Zone with Ray Stevenson and Daredevil season 2
Haven't watched it and wont watch it. This just confirms that i'm making the right decisions. At least i'll continue living knowing that Vincent as Kingpin is still marketable.
I kind of like the leg-hold kick, but that's only something a bad guy does at the end of a beat-down to show off OR slowing the film down to show off a quick kick that was held back to "store power".
That Echo daredevil fight was very like Asoka and Anikin fighting. Yes 100%, it was like watching someone's Gran playing street basketball with a 17 year old.
To be fair, the "hold the kick" thing is because it's the prosthetic leg and she's holding it back so it has more impulse than it otherwise would when she releases it for the kick.
@@Gn3rd Yeah, I get that too. Just wanted to point out it's not just a weird thing they did for no reason, it had an intent and a logic, just not well executed.
A couple years ago, I watched an intergender wrestling match. The woman was jacked, but not too tall. The guy was a former WWE mid-carder playing bigger fish in a smaller pond. Now, objectively the guy is pretty big by real world standards. By pro wrestling standards, he's medium size at best for men. He carried her so obviously, it was painful to watch. She was so much slower. His reactions to her weak blows were so fake and over the top. He was clearly jumping during every toss. They even threw in a NO DQ, weapons allowed stipulation and it didn't really help. Worse, she was the face and he was the heal, so she couldn't "cheat". It really doesn't work without some believable fight choreography.
all im remembering with this show is the RLM review of Darkman, directed by Sam Reimi, and theres a man with a gun leg and you had him hopping around in the middle of fightscenes when his friend took off his leg to use it as a mchine gun....man this show wouldve been SO FUN if they did something like that 😂
All episodes (4.5) launched and hopefully forgotten by the time I’ve posted this…. It would be good to see you and the gang focus and talk about your favourite movies/shows I saw Godzilla Minus 1 and the Holdovers this week. Both were entertaining and so well written with rounded characters you actually believe in and root for.
