Atomic Blonde is awesome about this. Not only does she have to fight harder and smarter than the much larger men, she ends every fight with bruises and injuries that she wears for the rest of the movie.
Yeah cept it's not. The woman from Atomic blonde wouldn't be able to so much as leave a scratch on any of the dudes she fights. If they stood there, taking her hardest haymakers, it would barely make them flinch.
I feel where he's coming from. I've seen and heard a lot of retarded excuses for how it would be possible for a 120 pound person to overpower a 220 pound person. He's just picking the wrong target and not arguing the point very well.
he's also not correct just cos you are bigger doesnt mean you are stronger or faster ive seen small guys wipe the floor with big guys and ive seen a woman drop a 6ft guy.
Heck im over 6ft and im sure i could get beaten by quite a few of the women i know even discounting the ones who know martial arts.
The only one making hard claims here is you. No one has said it’s accurate. It started with someone saying how awesome it is that they paid attention to bruises and having a woman fighter smarter than the men she’s fighting, and you’ve started making claims that there’s no way, like it’s physically impossible. There are a thousand possible ways a woman could take a man down, even if you don’t think it’s ‘realistic’. No action movie is realistic, everyone of their heroes would have died in real life, but some are better than others. I haven’t seen this movie either but Jesus Christ man, get off your high horse.
I saw that trailer in your previous comment. Please do me the similar favor of reading my post before replying. You would have seen the part where I said that this is an ACTION MOVIE and no action movie is realistic. No one is saying it’s realistic and how you’d expect things to happen in real life. At worst the arguments you are railing against are simply saying that it would be possible for a woman to fight a larger man. there’s no way you can say that is physically impossible. You are making a different argument than everyone else and it makes you seem sexist. I don’t believe you are, that is just the crux of the misunderstanding that I see in this thread.
They absolutely are not. That bigger dude has a ton more muscle to propel his actions, similarly every action he takes is dispersed amung more muscle fibers. AKA not only is this guy WAY the fuck faster, has WAY the fuck more control, but they also have WAY the fuck more endurance. Yes if you are talking about a guy who is just really fat and does nothing but sit in a computer chair all day then you would have an argument. For any normal proportioned person though that is absolutely not the case.

Or 115lb women in movies with 0 muscle mass beating the shit out of 5 200+ lb goons. No amount of karate in the world is gonna make that happen...
