Point still stands, a dwarf not swinging with all his might wouldn’t make a very good scene at all. Would look like they were catching butterflies.
Extras were mad over someone putting their all into their role. Weird take to be honest.
The whole point of stunt fighting is to make fake fighting look real. It is dangerous and irresponsible to do real hits in a fake fight. Everyone else did it properly.
You can do real hits while stunt fighting, lots of these modern movies look terrible because you can tell the punch is a foot away.
If you’ve got armor and are meant to take a hit as part of the scene instead of a miss, don’t be bitchy when the person hits you like they are supposed to.
It’s irresponsible to not give it your all, because if that what the person is expecting and you don’t do it… injuries happen.
Wrestling is so popular because it’s real stunt fighting, not this “camera magic” bullshit they try to peddle as real, but makes it look fake.
