Yes, the point of hand-to-hand combat with kaijus was their ammonia-rich blood.

Which brings up the question why a jaeger has swords & other cutting/slashing weapons.

That said, rocket fists are pretty :black101: .

They can use the rocket fists, no problem. But there were several times where they had em in a head lock and punch it a few times, then throw it. Like no dude, punch it, then lift it above your head and snap it in half or give it a back breaker or some poo poo. Instead no they just toss it aside, and the kaiju just gets up, recovers, and then uses their finishing move. They could have made it actually COOLER if they didn't act like redshirts the whole time.

Speaking of hand-to-hand combat, when the good guy and the bad guy are grappling and any amount of pain inflicted on the bad guy makes him release his grip, even if doing so will result in him dying.

I'm pretty sure stomping on the foot of a guy who has you in a headlock doesn't immediately release the headlock.

I'm having a tough time thinking of a movie that does fight scenes right. Bladerunner I guess, since that's just 2 hours of Harrison Ford getting his rear end beaten over and over again.

In Atomic Blonde, the protagonist gets into an extended hand-to-hand fight with an enemy thug. The fight visibly saps their energy and by the end of the scene both of them are staggering to the ground while they try to kill each other.

The best hand to hand combat scene is the end of equilibrium when they focus almost entirely on slapping the other guy's gun away instead of just like, stepping back and shooting them.

also they start fighting with katanas first instead of using guns, presumably solely because they wanted that cool shot of taye diggs's face sliding off.

What are you looking at?
HBO shows tend to show realistic fight scenes, outside of fantasy stuff like Game of Thrones. You look at the Sopranos, Deadwood, Boardwalk Empire, etc, they're usually messy and awkward and people get really hosed up and they sometimes end with someone dead.

In Game of Thrones, even if a character is a legendary asskicker, they usually lose or surrender if they’re caught off guard or outnumbered and don’t get the drop themselves. This gets less consistent the longer the show goes on though.

I don't "do" irony, it really is the best and I wish people really did fist/gun fights like that. Imagine gun boxing with sandbag bullets or whatever and the rules state you can't be farther than arm length from your opponent. It would make for great television.

Okay, Far From Home. They reveal that everybody who got snapped into nonexistence got unsnapped back into existence right where they were when they disappeared.

Kinda sucks for the people who were in an airplane at the time, or driving on the freeway, doesn't it?

It fixed that by putting everyone in that position in a nice fluffy bed. If it didn't, with the speed at which we're hurtling through space, everyone would have just appeared in a vacuum.

What about pilots of aircraft that were snapped out, causing their planes to fall out of the sky and kill everyone aboard? Were the people who died in the resultant crash brought back? Or surgeons who were snapped out mid-procedure, did the patients that die get brought back? Were said patients brought back in the same state they left (say, chest cut open for surgery, hypothetical tumors intact) and thus have to be rushed into-- well I guess they are already in a hospital but they have to have the procedure restarted? Were the hypothetical tumors themselves snapped out to try to save the life of the patients who were actually snapped out, which I'm sure was disorienting for the surgeons who were left behind :thunk:
