    The best “The Power Was Within You All Along” I’ve ever seen is in the How To Train Your Dragon books, where Hiccup suddenly discovers he is a master sword fighter after being terrible at it until that point despite constant training… because he breaks his right arm at the start of the fight and learns for the first time that he is actually left handed

    • @Djorgal
      @Djorgal Год назад +39

      You thought it was the best? Damn, I thought it was stupid. Cause, you know, if you've trained sword fighting with one hand and suddenly try it with the other hand, you'll suck at it at first. Sure, you'd be able to actually start learning properly now that you're using your dominant hand, but you are still untrained.

      So, I seem to have accidentally commented on the wrong video 😅 This was supposed to be a reply to an Overly Sarcastic Productions video about powerups, and it looks like RUclips took me to a recommended video while I was composing this response and I somehow didn’t notice lol.
      This was mean to be a comment in response to discussion about how often powerups come out of nowhere without any in universe rational for why the character didn’t have the power before, and I specifically think it’s the best in that regard, in that it does give an in universe reason why he wasn’t good at it before: because the society he grew up in is extremely set in their ways and never thought to even consider handedness when teaching sword fighting. In that regard I think it’s actually a nice critique of how that would work: he was unaware of his handedness because he was forced to learn right handed and just assumed he was bad as sword fighting as a result.

      @@KickyFut yeah back then there were heavy superstitions around being left handed so people 100% would not recognise it. The right hand was the sword hand and that's how people were taught. Many people pretented they were dominant in the other hand because depending on where you were born being left handed could have made you gifted by the gods or it could mean you were evil. It makes sense that hiccup wouldn't have known his dominant hand.

      While it is true that the country for the citizenship was never stated the age requirements were clearly using US requirements (Which to be fair aren't exclusive to the US). Finland for example is 5 years regardless of age, or Canada which is weird and actually gives you options (you can get a 5 year passport for cheaper. It's not half as cheap, so most don't get it, but it's still an option).
      Because of this I think that part of the question validates that the passport can't be referring to EU passports.
