Which is why it is hyperbole, unless you are suggesting that "living martial hurricane" and "hurricane" are not the same thing, in which case I would ask for you to tell me the differences and which is stronger, and why? It was onviously hyperbole, anyone here will tell you the same, we are not trying to make Kit seem weaker than he really is. it's just the truth. Yes, the author used those words to describe him, and his descriptions were clearly hyperbole - the aithor was exaggerating, if that makes it easier for you to understand.
O M F G
“LIVING, MARTIAL HURRICANE” WAS USED TO D-E-S-C-R-I-B-E KIT FISTO’S MOVEMENTS. Like Prodigal Knight said, IT WAS MERELY A SIMILE REFERRING TO KIT’S SPEED AND POWER. I’m terrible at explaining this kind of thing, (I phailed at Eglinsh) so go read Prodigal Knight’s post.
And yes, there is a difference to "living, martial hurricane" and simply "hurricane", being the simple fact that one is LIVING and MARTIAL. Hence, it makes sense to describe Kit as a "living, martial hurricane" because he was LIVING, MARTIAL and was moving like a HURRICANE would if it were LIVING and MARTIAL. Ye see?
Kenobi was close, so what, what's your point? And if Kit was so good as to take them out that quickly you really think it took that much energy? You think Kenobi was exhausted from righting Battle Droids on the Trade Federation Battleship in the beginning of TPM? Yes, he had to have used up SOME ENERGY, you have to use energu whatever you do, even to watch tv, but it can't have been much at all, it had to have been only a very slight amount.
I NEVER EVEN FRIGGING SAID HOW MUCH ENERGY KIT WOULD HAVE USED UP!!!! I only ever said that he must have used up SOME energy when taking out those thugs. And quite frankly, the fact that Kit had to “increase his effort” to defeat the X’ting so fast must have meant he would have used up SOME energy, no?
ALAS, FORGET ABOUT THE WHOLE FRIGGING ENERGY THING. That is not the reason why he lost anyway; it was because Asajj was STUDYING his fighting style.
Your correctin saying it's not what the author meant, cause the author clearly meant it to be hyperbole, only you disagree. How is twisting his body in many ways like a hurricane at all? And how is living marital hurricane any different that hurricane, it's just referring Kit to a hurricane that's living and martial, nothing more, nothing less, and is clearly hyperbole. Period.
It does not take a genius to be able to interpret what the Author meant when he stated that. And don’t bloody ask me how his twisting body makes him resemble a FRIGGING hurricane, ASK THE AUTHOR! I wasn't the one writing it, I wasn't the one who stated he had an "unlimited vertebrae", HE DID. SO STOP ASKING ME WHY HE SAID IT!
What is stated in the novel REMAINS FACT unless it is CONTRADICTED BY ANOTHER SOURCE. PROVIDE ME A SOURCE THAT STATES “Kit was not resembling a living, martial hurricane when fighting the X’ting”, and I will believe that it is hyperbole. Just because YOU fail to understand the quote does not give you ANY right to assume that it’s hyperbole.
Seriously guys, this is way too much thinking for a simple quote.
The martial hurricane is simply a simile referring to Kit Fisto's speed and power. It's just like calling Superman
"faster than a speeding bullet". The martial hurricane is just an association with Kit.
THANK YOU! FINALLY SOMEONE WITH SOME COMMON SENSE!
Of course, by saying Kit
Fisto was known as the martial hurricane, ergo he is better than every other Jedi besides Yoda, Mace, Anakin,
Obi-Wan, Cin, and Depa is a ridiculous assumption. By calling Kit Fisto that makes Luminara Unduli the "lady
falcon" and Quinlan Vos a "Level 5 Tornado". And it makes Yoda the Wise Photon.
Kit Fisto is good Medvock, but not THAT GOOD.
Okay, wtf. When have I EVER said that that quote made Kit better than ANY OTHER JEDI? WHEN HAVE I EVER SAID HE WAS BETTER THAN YODA, MACE AND ANAKIN BECAUSE HE WAS DESCRIBED AS A LIVING MARTIAL HURRICANE? ARE YOU EVEN STATING I STATED THAT, OR HAVE I GOT THIS ALL WRONG?
You know what you people fail to realize?
Just because I happen to like Kit Fisto, does not mean I think he “PWNS ALL” or is better than ANY OTHER JEDI JUST FOR THE FACT THAT HE IS MY FAVORITE. I know Yoda would PWN him. I know Mace would KILL him. I know there are many other Jedi who could defeat him as well (not THAT many, though). Whenever I have argued for Kit, I ALWAYS provide FACTUAL information. I have NEVER stated something ridiculous like “Kit wins coz he pwns all and coz he is ma fave jedi”. You people merely assume this is so. However, if you go through some of the Kit Fisto Vs threads, you will see that I haven’t ALWAYS stated he’d defeat his opponent. There HAVE been (rare) circumstances that I’ve said he’d lose. But I’ve never said something ridiculous like, he’d defeat Sidious or something. Prove me wrong, I dare you.
