This gave me an appreciation for the stunt coordination because most of the audience can see how they made Moon Knight and Mr Knight's fight styles different but you guys broke it down into smaller details to really highlight the work done there. Steven as Mr Knight only just leveled up in his fighting skills by being able to pull from Marc's experience, plus Steven is staunchly against truly hurting anyone (and is vehemently against killing). So things like those blocks and attacks which weren't the platonic ideal from a fighting perspective make 100% sense from a character perspective. Even the one you point out which risked hurting his hand is perfect characterization since MK infamously prefers to take a blow rather than dodge it (which you can see the stunt coordinators remembered in other fights as well, like the one in episode 3 when Moon Knight lets himself be stabbed so that the weapon goes through him and hits the attacker behind him). I absolutely love these kinds of detailed breakdowns and agree that Moon Knight is the best of the D+ series so far, so thank you for the insights in this video!
I really like how this breakdown helps emphasize the Character they're working with, how he can get away with an Inferior Roof Block that wouldn't work "Unless you're super powered" or how his instinct is to fight defensively even if it's not optimal, also how non finishing moves become finishers because of his superior strength. Thanks for the breakdown, love your vids and always glad to see you guys.
Chad getting the full Kali treatment was hilarious. Great breakdown as usual. Especially as this sequence is so short and packed with great moves. Looking forward for Chad's "revenge" in the future.
I agree with your assertion @4:50, but I honestly think that his choice communicated more about the character. At this stage, he was still evolving as a combatant; learning to accept his power while also letting go of the fear of violent engagement. This is an important aspect of the arts in Martial Arts as well; letting the character or essence of the individual shine through. Great breakdown as always
My goodness! The way you popped him in the intro to this video lol 😂 you two act like brothers! It’s wholesome but also funny! Glad to have you both back for another longer breakdown 👍🏼👍🏼
@@ScenicFights aww, it’s no problem! I also got my little brother to sub to you as well! He’s taking karate, so I hope you guys inspire him to continue his fighting journey ✌🏼
I absolutely love this video and your deeper insight knowledge with the Kali fighting style system. Also further the Punyo attack strike I thought I could give it a pass because Mr. Knight is enhanced so therefore it his physical abilities are slightly more stronger so therefore the strike with the baton definitely impacts a lot more at least in my opinion.
Seeing Logan so excited about a Kali breakdown does put a smile on my face :') Chad being afraid throughout the entire thing was nice too, lol! I don't usually suggest things, but I recently watched a Netflix Korean show called 'My Name', and somewhere at the beginning of episode 7, there's a knife fight sequence between characters Jiwoo and Taeju that I legitamately thought of you guys while watching. It would be awesome to see even a small reel breaking down a bit of it, but the whole show had some genuinely gritty and bloody knife/hand-to-hand fighting. But as always, awesome video. Always find myself enjoying content from this channel!!
@@ScenicFights I would love to see you do the not-Jackie-Chan scene from Everything, everywhere all at once. Love the movie and I don't think you have done a non-rigid weapon before. Or anything with Michelle Yeoh, she's a treasure.
You know, watching your breakdown of dual weapon kali techniques makes me wonder how effectively it could be applied to dual lightsaber fighting, given the forms of combat already in star wars for lightsabers itd need to be a new form but it would be hard to deal with
Seeing Steven kick ass like this was so hype, especially since it was foreshadowed when he summoned the suit and checked them out in an earlier episode.
The thing that I also like,that's also emphasized by this video,is even though he uses Marc's fighting skills,his fight scenes are still true to his character,someone who doesn't want to do much harm and basically inexperienced.
Second comment from me but I'll leave it like so to please the almighty algorithm. Are you guys planning to do breakdowns on more scenes from The Raid films? There are still a bunch of fights I'd love to hear you analyse, it'd be lovely to return to the old classic.
Literally just found your channel about 30 seconds ago and you already have a new sub. Great fight analysis!! Would love to see you cover some fight scenes of Jeeja Yanin from a Thailand martial arts film Chocolate (2008). Also some Marvel Netflix's Daredevil hallway scene would be a cool breakdown.
Roof block? Is that umbrella from method 3? A different name? Also, have you guys ever done the hallway fight in Old Boy? That fight scene has influenced so many different fights, from Daredevil to Nobody. Great scene Final question - any thought to doing a spin off channel where you guys break down real fights that are put online? Been some crazy ones lately, like the knifing in Australia. Would be interesting to get y’all’s take on some of these. Thanks guys. Keep up the great work
Your technical expertise and attention to detail are quite impressive. My experience is not in Kali, but I see the truth in your explanations, and agree with your analysis. Lord help the fool that faces you when you're holding two short swords🤠. Try not to bash Chad too much (maybe just a little though 😂). Great video.
@@ScenicFights But in all serious I'm interested in rocky's strategy in forcing powern puncher to get worn out. Like I always 'if you get just a whiff a blood or the prey becomes too tired to protect itself, well... IT'S FEEDING FRENZY TIME!
Love how eager Logan gets to beat up Chad since, lets be honest, there's far more hand to hand fight scenes in movies and shows than melee weapons (that don't require the power of "anime" or hollywood JUST to wield).
Actually Arnis is the secret training of bolo during Spanish colony in the philippines although bolo is no match from guns it's fearsome weapons against Spaniards and it's very deadly and very devastated.
I like how he showed how a "normal" person would execute the moves... But just remember moon knight's fighting style is something taskmaster refuses to use cuz of how "unconventional" he is
We told you we aren't going to stop doing full length breakdowns! Shorts are just going to be uploaded in between longer breakdowns. The team is starting to get into a groove, so you can expect longer breakdowns more frequently while weekly RU-vid shorts remain on schedule. With that being said, this is our first double stick breakdown so this was a fun one for Logan. As always, make sure to subscribe, share and let us know which fight scene we should breakdown next! Also, Did you enjoy Moon Knight?
Speaking of Sinawali (I hope I spelled it right) theres a ton of it done by the character Gannicus in the show Spartacus, only he's doing it with swords lol
Glad to see a full video. The breakdowns are flowing quick and are humorous too. Keep beating up Chad, I really enjoyed this breakdown. I'm curious if the director wanted inferior roof blocks so the audience could follow better. A step away glace off roof block may come across as a swing in miss and appear "sloppy" on camera.
I think we have to take into account certain aspects depending on the show or film's lore and context. Like the initial punyo strike WOULD be a fight finisher for Moon Knight or Mr. Knight because he/they have a pretty high level of superhuman strength, as we see when he can jump 40 feet and kick Harrow through buildings and stuff. So a superman jab to the throat with a metal rod would probably crush that guy's windpipe into juice. But as you pointed out at the end, you weren't taking into account his powers and only were speaking on the actual technique so this comment is kinda pointless, but I love chatting with you guys regardless. Amazing breakdown as always. Poor Chad's face.
Honestly, one of my favorite aspects of this show is they do acknowledge that in the fiction superpowers exist and could change context, but that they're rating on "real world" application. It's nice seeing it acknowledged instead of being a constant point of complaint because a super powered person incorporates superpowers into their fighting.
@@Deliriumend 100%. Chad and Logan and now Pak(the Judo Black Belt) are all amazingly skilled and now how to explain things in detail. And they're all big enough comic fans that they can blend the reality with the fantasy and fiction. It's a crime their channel isn't 10x bigger than it is by now. I'd subscribe more if I could lol.
Okay but if a stab with a metal pipe could end a guys throat then a hit to the hand would break the guys wrist and he would drop the weapon. They show his strength in different ways the elite jumpers can jump 4-5 feet, 40 feet is 8 times the strength of those elite people so if he hit him with a metal bar theirs a good chance that every hit would be a ender.
I haven't watched the show in a while so maybe im wrong and should be corrected but Mr knight also doesn't try to kill in the show, as it's Steven fighting, i think his goal was just needing to get to harrow. Marc on the other hand probably would have done more finishing blows if he was in this fight sequence, not after
@@LordMorpheus This is also correct. Steven is mainly a pacifist on account of he's the "kind" personality, but he can throw down. And when he does as Mr. Knight, he is easily the least lethal between him, Marc, and Jake.
I'm not saying Chad got beaten up too much, all I'm saying is he'll be afraid of brown pool noodles for the rest of his life. I'm with you, Logan, they did pretty good justice to the comics (and they filmed most of the season within 30 miles of where I live, so that gave me an extra reason to fanboy over it). Marvel has teased a second season on twitter since then and the crew and cast seems eager to continue with it, so... fingers crossed!
I think one of the main things that makes moon Knight so interesting, is how during fight scenes, he leans more into the attacker because he knows that he'll heal because of the suit. This gives him more freedom to "beat up" the other person because he one less thing to worry about. I really enjoy your videos and how they break down each move in the fight
You know, I'm starting to think that the main purpose of this channel is for Logan to take out some frustration on Chad. And whenever it comes to grappling, Chad gets some retribution. :-)
Great breakdown as always. Lots of great insight. Moon Knight for me was a show with high highs and low lows but enjoyed it overall. Love the “I’m still a nerd but older” line haha.
This is so cool! Brings insight to just hoe much can be going in like a 10 second fighting scene, so much work and heart went into it! And yes, there better be a season 2
Recently rewatched Lethal Weapon, the ending fight actually has fair amount of BJJ, 6 years before UFC 1. It’d be great if Chad broke down Mel Gibson’s triangle finish!
Incredible! I was hoping that a professional would break down the FMA in Moon Knight, and this video and the explanations were done beautifully. Thank you both for it all!
after finishing the vid i’m actually surprised how grounded the action piece is. even though mr knight is a super human he is not pulling off crazy shenanigans what not, that’s amazing
wasn't sure if it was emphasized in the show, but in the comics Moon Knight is known just for his offensive prowess and not his defensive prowess. He is known to keep getting hit or half ass blocks
Just to specify, it's not that Moon Knight has inferior or lazy defense, it's just that Moon Knight will "tank" an attack to put himself in better position to unleash a more devastating counter attack.
my 18th year in Eskrima now, and really appreciate this high quality content, the Masters in our region though near perfect strikers, aren't as acrobatic as Moon Knight, that is one thing we must improve on and train more
