This show is such a dumpster fire

Just fan fiction hiding behind a paper thin license

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.

No-I-still-havent-seen-it-lets-just-move-past-that

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

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

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

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.
