Title: Why Kung Fu ?
Post by: tp4tissue on Sun, 19 July 2015, 12:09:59

How come they still put fist-fight-scenes  in movies..


Doesn't everyone realize at this point that no one fights like that in real life?

Or gun battles with no reloading?

Or rom-coms in general?

Or any work of fiction ever?

Fiction, is fiction.

you'd think someone as all-knowing as the tp4 would know the difference between fiction and real life...

Space exploring fighting racoons make sense...


Kung fu does not..   If I had a laser rifle,  I wouldn't even walk the 3 feet to punch someone..

Pew pew pew

Because everyone secretly wishes they could randomly bash some other guys head in.

But you just wouldn't do that..

Realistic fights (where disabling/killing) your opponent is a priority, end in 5-6 moves..


And a single person, could almost never win against a group..

Movies are supposed to fulfill that "what if" thought.

"What if" one guy could take on entire group.

If a movie only lasted 5 minutes of a dude getting his ass kicked by a group... That wouldn't be fun

I actually watched Ep. 8 while eating supper tonight. So I find this very amusing.
