Fair play. It is bullshit that older games didn’t waste your time. However, the older you get, the less tolerant of games that waste your time you get. I do think that games journalists have a very different perspective on long good games. It took me a year to complete Witcher 3 and a year to complete RDR2 (half hour here, hour there around wife and two small children). The thing that kept me coming back time and again was the story. I (and I expect many many non-vocal gamers) have zero time for grinding for cosmetic bs. That’s what’s lacking in modern titles. Good, solid interesting stories. The quality of the stories is lower. We’re seeing it in tv and movies as well. They (writers) no longer know how to write good characters, with clear motivations and therefore tell a good story.

I agree that if they added more effects showing the use of the force it would help. I never recall once thinking it looked bad when they did that kind of stuff in Star Wars games. Jedi Knight II Jedi Outcast is a great example that comes to mind.

unusual (or maybe usual based on the name) suggestion, but the firstlive-action 1990 TMNT movie would be great. You could even do the Michael Bay movies, then compare the fighting in those to the more hong-kong cinema fighting of that first 90s movie

Literalmente es mas efectivo solo usar la lanza para hacer estocadas y usarla de forma inteligente, que hacer tantos movimientos de kung fu que pueden ser arriesgados para ti en un combate real.

Aw, so am I the only one that didn't enjoy Iroh and the soldier's interaction? Like, sure, having someone lay onto Iroh all the bad shit he's done with the siege is cool, but why tf is Iroh mean mugging him the whole time? This dude just spoke about his brother, amongst other people, starving and dying because of him and Iroh is ANGRY about it? Seriously? In the cartoon it made sense because those were random guards, with no connection to him and they had just caught him off guard, so they were being all smug about catching The Dragon of the West. But in this one? The freaking soldier almost felt like some kind of small time villain.

Ahh yes… I see you know your judo well.

EXACTLY thank you

Sensei Cam once again educating us on choreography

As someone who hasn’t watched an episode of this show in its entirety, I wanna say, Manny Jacinto supremacy. Not Quimir but Jacinto specifically. He seems cool

First

Would LOVE to see you analyze the original ATLA

Would love an analysis on the original show's fights. I'm just kind of a casual observer of martial arts, but to me something about those hits different. Even though it's rare for anyone to actually sustain damage, the fights feel so... Kinetic? I'm sure the framing and shot compositions help too. Bonus points if you can somehow apply analysis to the firebending masters in the episode of the same name :'D

Lol not the Northern Water Tribe being a Mcdojo Tribe

I haven’t watched this live action, but from what I’ve seen from snippets, Chinese wuxia, though far from perfect effects and fighting wise, is much more convincing.

DUDE, I love these videos! So dense with both martial arts AND filmmaking info, pretty amazing stuff and hmmm... Samurai Champloo next? I want to hear your thoughts on the crazy difference in sword styles haha

Usually don't comment on videos, but. (Also disclaimer: only watched this show via youtube cause I had no hope, still don't.) Why are these camera angles so freaking close! It's so hard to tell what is going on cause the camera is right up in the actors faces during the fight scenes.

Just because we're on the topic of Netflix adaptations of anime, I'm curious to see your analysis of the Live Action One Piece fights. While I feel there isn't an explicit display of traditional martial arts, I think there was som neat choreography at play there!

wtf this is so well edited for how many subscribers you have, you earned my sub!

Hopefully season 2 will come out the gate even stronger!

Glad to see you’re still grinding these out. In a world turning too fast you took time to cook an opinion and I appreciate that.

Nice thumbnail 😊

Also can you do a vid like this (& the SF Ryu vid) on Tekken next?

A fellow Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks fan, only real ones know, subbed!

So. so much hair. 0-0

The second one is the ash lf war

BALD! BALD! MY EYES!

Congrats to your friends’ success

The blue spirit fight was a lot better than I expected but I have mixed feelings about Zuko and Ozai's fight. I don't think a 13 year old Zuko should have the type of opening he did, it makes Ozai feel like less of a threat to team Avatar

Unrelated, but I feel the Legend of Korra sometimes falls into this trap as well with the bending not being as strongly rooted in the philosophy and appropriate martial arts style (like Korra randomly gaining the ability to throw air punches and kicks at Amon). The introduction of mecha tanks, spirit beams, and giant robots also makes it feel a bit too much like power rangers and reduces the bender vs bender fights we see, which is disappointing. Despite that, it is still leaps and bounds ahead of Netflix's version. They're not even close.

I hate it. We need some new Alpha’s 😂

"..from where I'm splitting, I'm just an idiot." Took me a second to really appreciate just how funny that read is.

Omg i thought i was the only one who felt like azula' fight scenes were weird, i don't do martial arts but something felt off😂

I enjoy your breakdowns of this show, I give the LA a 4 out of 10, hoping seasons 2 and 3 are closer to the source material as far as giving us more of a difference between the elements and bending styles, Martial arts wise. Can you please watch and break down The Raid Film's, John wick film's, and Atomic Blonde, they're some lf the best Martial arts ever seen on screen and I know you'll appreciate the authenticity of each film individually. 💯🙏🏾😃

Advice from someone with a wide screen cellphone: If most of your video is widescreen, upload in that format. People whose phones aren't that wide will have black bars added by the video player, but people like me can just enjoy your video in the optimal way. If you add black bars as part of the video, we get essentially a black border.

If they were going to commit to wizard fire casting they could've just made Azula a stronger caster than Zuko while Zuko is the better martial artist. Make her a spoiled brat who was "naturally gifted", rarely having to lift a finger since she was blessed with power. Maybe it could play into her insecurities in her martial arts skills. When she lashes out at the teacher, have the teacher ultimately outskill her only for her to resort her bending which is way more powerful than the teacher's (gasp blue fire??). Just a thought! I think it'd be a decent way to close the powergap between her and Zuko and still have it be convincing!

Cartoon Azula would be disgusted with her Netflix self

If they were gonna do this I wish they had just made a new goddam avatar and centered it on there journey in “realism”

12:25 oh my god, why did you have to phrase it like that 💀😂

Very cool

Yes the edged weapon that requires being indexed, being spun. No. This is spears in your real life

i think the booger flipped on the enemy will get em 😂

Ich als Speerveteran kann auch bestätigen das mir die Flips und Drehungen in unseren Schlachten am meistens geholfen haben!!

Maybe in 1 on 1 but that's not how armies would fight spears armies would fight the first way genius

That second one is like the dudes on sekiro who wont leave me alone

Yes I can confirm that doing random spins and flips is how you use a spear for combat in real life

Elden ring could have taken lessons from insect glaive

Second one's a bunch of fancy moves that look cool but lack stability and piercing power. It's not a lightsaber, you got to be able to pierce through leather and mail. Cool moves though.

We needs combos like the second 1 in elden rings

The first one is more dps

Now do it in medieval armor.
