Exemple video : Just a hug from terminator when Connor would have died. I am too lazy to search more videos but it's quite common in TV/movies. Are you like me ? Cringing when invulnerable or giant or ultra strong enemies throw MC away when it would more efficace to strangle or crush MC or downright hit something vital (pierce eyes/break arms or legs/crush balls) ?
Yeah but like that the enemies won't get the chance to show off not to mention killing the MC would end the movie early
I cringe in things like Noblesse, where everyone’s arm gets cut off multiple times, then regenerates, and the other person is all “Why won’t you die?!” Just cut off the freaking head!!!
This is why there is the phrase "Arrogance comes before the fall" Genre savvy man, have some courtesy and Lady Fate will not fuck you upside down in the near future.
To be fair, fall damage is more than what you can do just by hugging people, not to mention faster too. Try crushing an apple with two hands and then try throwing an apple to a wall. See which one is easier and does more damage. What's illogical is how the characters are still able to keep on brushing off that damage. Just accidentally bumping into a wall hurts enough, imagine running straight into it.
That's why I believe in execution style when dealing with an enemy. I watched Van Helsing the series and that MC fails to kill a bad man when she has a chance and he turns into an evil-er vampire. Regardless of the side, it really makes no sense not to deliver permanent damage.
Thats why i LOVE choice matters games, i can kill or not kill depending on my mood Too bad movies are not like that
T-800 mental process: -Target: Hostile- -Activate termination sequence- -Weapons: None- -Activating close combat protocols- -Crush- -Warning: Override, Social integration protocol warning- -Crush conflict: Close male contact naked= gay- -Override activated: No gay- -Secondary close combat protocol activated- -No Gay Toss-
It's one of my biggest pet peeves, but the ultimate deal breaker for me is when they starts to reminisce/chatter about their past before dealing the final blow, which gives enough time for MC to turn tables. I just can't stand it at all. Doesn't matter whether it's a novel/movie/game, I would instantly leave.
Not sure if you used sarcasm... So i still gonna try to answer. When i mean hugging i meant that the enemies that is a robot/terminator could hug really strongly and just break his ribs/everything in the chest area as easily as killing a chicken. As a killing robot that shouldn't be that hard. Without forgetting it's a T-800. It's not Skynet will make it's robots have just normal human strength.
That's the only thing? What about the MC emptying his entire magazine into the chest of a combat robot instead of going for the sensors/eyes at that range? If he blinded the thing, he has a massively greater chance of escaping or even winning against a blind opponent but no, he has to aim for the burly chest. At least we know what fascinates him now lol.
Not sure what that evil AI was thinking, since it can thoroughly kill anyone except those w/ surname Connor. With so many ways to kill, with all of it’s army of killer robots and arsenal, why send only ONE?
Same result in the end in real life. Slamming someone against a wall that hard would break his ribs easily too. It'll be like being in a car accident and having the steering wheel hit you in the chest. It's more amazing that any MC can just walk away from either event.
"Don't you cringe when enemies throw MC/characters ? when they could kill him easily..." It depends on movie/character... When its some over confident human or such doing it... It can make sense... When its a cold emotionless machine that is supposed to quickly and efficiently terminate humans... Mot so much... But evidently the terminator concept is used up... They need to throw in something else to beef things up nowadays...
