Zeus 03/04/18 7:42:53 PM #304:	ParanoidObsessive posted... Zeus posted... The biggest thing I don't like about the show is the silly amounts of choreography during the fight scenes. It often looks fake as shit and I sometimes have a hard time following what's happening. That's what happens when you cast a meh actor from Game of Thrones for the recognition value and then try to teach him martial arts in the month or two you have before you start filming, rather than deliberately looking for a solid actor who also has a strong grasp of fight choreography from the start. Granted, I'm not talking Power Rangers levels of casting where everyone's apparently a martial artist or gymnast but can only barely borderline act, but I refuse to accept the premise that they couldn't find a single actor who didn't have more experience (both with martial arts and acting) than "Ser Loras" did. Oh fuck, is that who that is? I didn't recognize him, maybe the beard threw me. (Then again, I've never been great with faces.) Granted, my issue is less about individual performance but instead the unnecessarily elaborate nature of the routines. It's the same reason why I've never been able to get into the lucha style of wrestling, you can clearly see some cooperation between fighters so it's closer to dancing than fighting (and no, not in the flatteringly metaphorical way where actual fighting is made to sound beautiful) --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:897180099] in A Geektivu...
