Deadliest Warrior Rules
Yeah, this pretty much sums it up. Deadliest Warrior is one of the most entertaining documentaries I’ve had the pleasure of watching. Add a healthy mix of blood to things, watch them use weapons in various ways, learn about the histories of each, their fighting styles, more, and this is all before a wonderful fight sequence that could trump anything I’ve ever seen in Soul Calibur.
One big question I have, though, is “Why is everyone such a friggin’ jerk?”.
The representatives of each Warrior are jerks. They sling schoolyard insults around and act like this is a war of life or death, when it’s just a silly “what if” decided by some numbers.
The fans who argue against the results are jerks. They hamper on how weapons aren’t accurate, the results aren’t accurate, how the experts aren’t experts, how it’s all stupid and flawed and needs redone.
C’mon, guys. This is just for fun. It’s entertainment. The probability of these fights occuring are impossible, and even then the nature of combat relies on so much more than just weapons, so nobody will ever really know what will happen if an Apache fought a Gladiator.
I thought the Gladiator would win. Does the fact that Deadliest Warrior reported differently say otherwise?
No, not really.
They’re not the end-all-be-all source of fact, nor do they ever claim to be.
All documentaries have flaws. This is just one of them. Does it change the results? Quite a bit.
But does it change the fact that we get to see THE MAFIA TAKE ON THE FRIGGIN’ YAKUZA?! No.
It’s just entertainment TV.
No update last week or this week. Need to focus on finals. Next week, however, I’ll come up with something.
