I stopped watching in the first episode when the tiny girl beat up a muscular huge man.
Felt like avengers but she is supposed to be a normal girl right? I felt it was so dumb.
spoiler
...you mean the girl (at the beginning of the episode, shown to be an A+ in all "stats") that took on a man post coitus and still was thrown around the room and only survived thanks to the blender?Seemed pretty realistic, and Fallout to me.
Yeah I don't know the fallout backstory at all, but A+ doesn't change things like physics.
The only backstory you need is right after the prelude, it showed that she was really good at judo.
A woman beating the shit out of a man does not defy physics.
I removed the smiley since I didn't intend it to be condescending. But I'm 100% certain that guy would knock that girl out in a second. It wasn't just "a man", it was a fit fighter man with tons of muscles.
But like I said, if it's a game, there is no real physics so anything is possible.
Being strong doesn't make you a capable fighter.
Knocking someone out is not as easy as it may seem, it takes skill, more than strength.
One in eight men think they could score a point against Serena Williams
Who do you think would win between an Olympic level male swimmer, or an amateur level female UFC fighter?
There is an anecdote about a judo teacher from where I live: he also liked his motorbike, so one day he was joining the highway, when some car rear-ended him at twice the speed, crushing the bike into the barrier. Driver was all panicky, then weirded out when the guy showed up to check if everyone was all right. Turns out he instinctively jumped out of the bike, did a somersault over the car, and landed rolling, then got up and ran to check on the driver.
No game physics needed.
So yeah, go ahead and be "100% certain". I've seen actual martial arts masters IRL, and you wouldn't believe how quick a fight can end with a thug biting the dust, or a lamppost. Technique beats muscles any day.
If anything, that fight on the show was slowed down and drawn out for "dramatic effect".
It's an RPG, of course it does! Particularly if you decide to give your character the 'Bloody Mess' perk, which causes every enemy to violently and horrifically explode in a shower of miscellaneous chunks.
Well I guess, if the TV show is supposed to be like a game, then at least I understand why she is overpowered.
What a journey that was for you to discover the obvious
@1984 in Bethesda games it does 😜 No seriously, their engine is known for most hilarious ragdoll moments.
Yeah I've heard about that actually :) Funny...
Beat up? Are you kidding me? She's described as a combat trained woman in peak physical performance and she's still being overcomed by the man aggressor. She succeeded in winning buy using a blender as a weapon, and that sounds pretty realistic to me.
I mean, as the previous posters have said, if this is supposed to be like a game, then sure. Anything is possible. But if it was reality, she would have no chance against that guy.
"In a future, post-apocalyptic Los Angeles brought about by nuclear decimation, citizens must live in underground bunkers to protect themselves from radiation, mutants and bandits."
And you picked a girl punching a guy the exact moment to suspend your belief at? Damn dude.
I disagree, but ok.
Yeah it's fine. Let's move on to other topics. :)
Her introduction montage at the beginning, where she was doing all the exercises and training, didn’t do it for ya? Between the two, I thought the guy was less believable given his circumstances.
Really? So interesting to me that someone would think she could even hurt the guy.
The way he was built in the show, sure, but he’s supposedly very irradiated, malnourished and poorly disciplined. I think the scenario of her winning that fight on makes more sense than him looking so buff in the first place.
Yeah makes sense. I don't know the backstory at all so in that light, it makes sense. Guess they wanted to cast some sexy actor rather than someone who looks the part.
It's a video game show that uses the rules of the video game world.
