What did you make of what Finarfin said to Beor in episode 3? I think it has huge implications for the identity of The Stranger and the blonde elf we saw in last night's episode.

People online were trashing on this swordfighting scene of Guyladriel the Barbarian

I don’t think it’s that bad, but I obviously don’t know the intricacies of sword fighting because I’m not a LARP’ing nerd. The recommendation to focus first on footwork seems smart

I mean, it’s no Rob Roy, Crouching Tiger/Fearless, or Troy but I’ve also definitely seen much worse sword fighting scenes in other stuff

Yeah that was greaet!

I just watched the frist episode. I had goosbumps legit for the first 15 mins, the voice over part was so bad ass, and when they go to the wrath of the lich king expansion that was so awesome!!! Im loving this ninja elf ranger too

as far as

 

imo that was handled right in this show, vs game of thrones. Like game of thrones's new show is so heavy handed like that, while galadrial, is just a dope character.

imo it felt right

the racist hobbits though is totally racist.

that'd be like if they made the orcs american indian themed lol

"irish shounds poor to me, so lets do that"

"i think thats an old racist thing from over there"

"who cares this is america"

its like 1980s level hollywood obtuse that I miss with all the cancel culture.

Regarding this 'racism' thing that seems very popular on TV and internet; isn't it racist to tell somebody they're a different race because it's like telling them they're not human?

Rob Roy: Good
Crouching Tiger: Fantasy
Troy: Fantasy

p/s: competition sword fighting is not LARP'ing, you are confusing that with cosplay, and comes from martial arts instead of comic books.



The Duelists: Good

That very first dodge she did looked goofy - what was that?

I'm on the same page, I don't know dick about sword fighting so it looked fine to me.

It would've been nice to see the female trainee be all cocky and get her ass kicked. If you're gonna have a female empowerment bent in your series, go all out. Have a piece of shit, sexist, etc etc type of woman in there. Show that women can also have flaws.

Incel out.

Oh shit that’s Harvey Keitel, good actor. Never seen that movie

Yea the Asian movies have lots of silly wire-floating but otherwise some of their fight choreography while definitely meant to be more flashy than functional, still can be quite entertaining to watch IMO

Cynthia Rothrock
1988 (don't ask me about newer shit)

edit: p/s Cynthia was the inspiration for Sonya Blade in Mortal Kombat 1
