Originally posted by RockydonovangDiscussing anything with you is like slamming my head against a brick wall, so pardon me if I'm not overly enthusiastic about continuing this utterly pointless conversation. Our criteria for a good fight are very different, so the only serious conclusion we should draw from this is that we both have different opinions on what makes a good fight and leave it that. Your whining is falling on deaf ears because I don't care about any of your overblown criticisms. I like the choreography, you don't; leave it at that and **** off.
Can we drop the whole, "this is subjective!" thing. Yes, it's subjective, as is literally any discussion regarding creative work. That doesn't mean we can't disagree about things and discuss why we disagree.
Originally posted by RockydonovangI really don't notice some supposedly vast difference between the choreography of the Duel of Fates and other prequel fights in terms of where the lightsabers are aimed. There are a few notable examples of lightsabers aiming at lightsabers that are easy to point to in the Duel of Fates, but as a whole, I see no epidemic of wild swinging at air. Sorry.
Anyway, my point is this: Yes, most lightsaver duels have a great degree of unrealistic maunevers. That doesn't mean these duels are equally unrealistic. For example, Anakin vs Kenobi has a stupid sequence where their spin their blade for several seconds before clashing.'That said, Anakin vs Kenobi, like just about any duel aside from the duel of the fates had a vast majority of attacks aimed at the opponent. Duel of the Fates on the other hand had virtually all its attacks aimed, at best, at an opposing lightsaber. This kikls the duel in my book because there's a lack of suspense of threat you expect from a fight.
Originally posted by RockydonovangI'm not engaging in false equivalencies, lmfao. I'm saying that maybe your whining should be more evenly distributed.
If you value it looking cool over that, fine, we can agree to disagree, but let's not engage in false equivalencies.
Originally posted by RockydonovangI'll quote myself: "The idea that Maul and the Jedi were swinging at air during the "entirety of the fight" isn't something I'm even going to waste my time entertaining."
The other duels in the saga, flashy or not, had attacks aimed at the opponent, hence it looked like they were actually fighting, The duel of the fates featured almost no attacks that could have harmed anyone, hence it didn't seem like they were fighting.
Now, for the love of God, go waste your time arguing with someone else.
**** off Joker. You low IQ people might not understand what's going on but Kbro has mastered a full understanding of choreography after watching half of one video on YouTube. Now, stop being an ungrateful **** and accept the fact that the swordfighting is objectively god-awful because The Expert (TM) with an IQ over 45 (yeah, I gasped too) says so.
Originally posted by DarthAnt66You know what? You’re right. I’ve been criminally misunderstanding both Kbro and His points. I’ve been selfish, rude, and most importantly horribly disrespectful to the intellectual juggernaut that is Kbro.

I’m sorry for not having congruent tastes to your own, Kbro. You are completely correct: the Duel of Fates sucks. I hope you can accept my apology, and I’ll make sure never to disagree with You again.
Originallys posted by DarthAnt66Sarcasm should be subtle bud. Otherwise you give the impression of an emotionally unstable 17 year old...

My IQ isn’t particularly relevant to you being more emotionally unstable than the fictional characters you get pissed over.
It’s telling you can only insult me on my innate ability, rather than how I apply my abilities.
