Didn’t watch it yet, as I’m only 2 episodes in and Idon’t want to taint my first view too much.
But from what I’ve seen of the show, I understand how they reach this conclusion. And Jessie Gender usually has quite a good grasp on these things.
Edit: Kind reminder that this post is for sharing/discussing the video, not for dunking on the Netflix adaptation.
Edit2: Watched it now. Spoilers for the first 2 episodes and light spoilers for the rest of the live action show, season 1.
I’m sure the actors put a lot of effort in the martial arts scenes. It’s a shame I can’t see shit with all the cuts they do.
Compare these scenes with the Matrix movies’ martial arts scenes. Or Jackie Chan movies, or Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Or ATLA/TLOK.
You never see the motions play out and cut away too quickly, the fight scenes just get tedious to watch.
Umm… Have you seen the martial arts styles the original show used?
