Same as anime tbh.Originally Posted by Frug
Actually he's right, it looks hilariously dumb.Is this spartacus?
Glad i didn't watch it then.
Terrible swordplay, not possible (with that time and modern swords at least) damage and unrealistic blood flow on top of this.
It's a fucking TV show you twat. Literally no one gives a fuck about your :expert: opinion. Post GIFs in the GIF thread or end yourself.
Just can't immerse myself into this kind of media (tv, movies, games, music - whatever).
Rome, on the other hand, was brilliant.

Confirming. I honestly can't be bothered to watch that other show.

cool story bro.
M8, you do not want to know what happens next on that gif.Excatly, I don't see the point.Mate.Also, porn acting sure, as in making it appealing or arousing, but, writing?? As in, the plots of porn movies........Why are they even there, I never understood why anyone bothered. (I know of three possible answers but not one of them makes any sense.)

I lold more than i fapped.
If I watch a porn I sure as fuck am not watching the non-porn bits. If I need a background story for fluff (which I don't, because I'm not a woman), I can make up my own on the spot.
(use of two f words intentional)
Also, prior to the last couple of pages, I'd never heard of, or seen (that I can recall) Sasha Grey.
I googled Sasha Grey gif, and found this for the gif thread:
nsfw obviously, but not arousing at all, least to me.
Spoiler:
Consider what she is know for doing
No, not at all. Decent anime has suspension of disbelief going because the characters have some kind of super power or other reasoning behind such an ability. The face cut off like a slice of butter would be fine if he was Achilles and his sword was blessed.
If you go and watch superman and complain about how people can't fly or have x-ray vision, you're just
Also yeah Rome was great... but did something almost as bad:

How about the fact it looks fucking retarded? It looks fucking retarded.

oops. Fixed it so you could see how the man's calf is made out of putty.
Not empty quotin' myself.

Spartacus wasn't superman or achilles or hercules. If they try to be creative about it then they should rename Rome Romalala and Spartacus Spartalala.
Same story with 300 but at least it was known long before to be a pisstake.
A lot more bones material from the jaw up through the skull than in that leg. What's happening in Rome is actually very plausible. But a cut in an upward axis with the arm carrying the entire weight rather than the weight of the blade making the cut? Nope.Also yeah Rome was great... but did something almost as bad:

Fast forward to 3:51 or watch the entire thing for some cold steel lols. Note that this is shorter than the gladius and used with only one hand. There's a good selection of other sword videos showing cutting potential but those are much longer swords and a bowie is closer to a gladius.

Wow, you're really terrible with things like anatomy and leverage. You're the kind of guy who thinks decapitation is easy, eh.
My friend is telling me that it's arguably plausible if the man's leg was made out of jelly. I'd agree with this.

Today on "Failheap-Challenge: Not Big Surprise" we learn that Hollywood writers and directors don't care about accuracy.Wow, you're really terrible with things like anatomy and leverage. You're the kind of guy who thinks decapitation is easy, eh.

It might be easy for a fully trained Roman legionnaire who's been on war campaigns for a couple of years. Possibly.Wow, you're really terrible with things like anatomy and leverage. You're the kind of guy who thinks decapitation is easy, eh.

[QUOTE=Frug;453760]It actually kind of is. You've got a case in Florida and another in Tenerife where both individuals were decapitated with a single blow from a machete. Cutting through meat isn't hard and neither is bone a major obstacle. Losing an arm or leg to a cut is actually not that hard. Whether the attacker lands true or at a poor angle is going to determine how deep a cut will be. We've had plenty of demonstrations at SCA gatherings where longswords, grosse messers, rapiers, katana, and other pointy weapons have been tested on armor and thick chunks of meat or carcasses.

yeah highly unlikely you could cut clean through at that angle and practically in midair to boot. though if you actually did what they show you'd still win the fight, you'd likely sever the tendons in the back of the knee and possibly an artery.Perhaps he has Hollow Leg Syndrome?Wow, you're really terrible with things like anatomy and leverage.

The guy driving around with katana looking for roadkill to slice up is somewhat disturbing.It actually kind of is.

Not to mention your opponent will be, you know, unable to stand.yeah highly unlikely you could cut clean through at that angle and practically in midair to boot. though if you actually did what they show you'd still win the fight, you'd likely sever the tendons in the back of the knee and possibly an artery.Perhaps he has Hollow Leg Syndrome?Wow, you're really terrible with things like anatomy and leverage.
