  Beat up? Are you kidding me? She’s described as a combat trained woman in peak physical performance and she’s still being overcomed by the man aggressor. She succeeded in winning buy using a blender as a weapon, and that sounds pretty realistic to me.

    I mean, as the previous posters have said, if this is supposed to be like a game, then sure. Anything is possible. But if it was reality, she would have no chance against that guy.

      The obsession incels have with ensuring men are depicted as having a monopoly on physical violence has always been weird to me.

      But if it was reality

      “In a future, post-apocalyptic Los Angeles brought about by nuclear decimation, citizens must live in underground bunkers to protect themselves from radiation, mutants and bandits.”

      And you picked a girl punching a guy the exact moment to suspend your belief? Damn dude.

      I disagree, but ok.

        Yeah it’s fine. Let’s move on to other topics. :)

  spoiler

  …you mean the girl that took on a man post coitus and still was thrown around the room and only survived thanks to the blender?

  Seemed pretty realistic, and Fallout to me.

    Yeah I don’t know the fallout backstory at all, but A+ doesn’t change things like physics. :)

      The smiley face at the end comes across as really condescending.

      The only backstory you need is right after the prelude, it showed that she was really good at judo.

      A woman beating the shit out of a man does not defy physics. :)

        I removed the smiley since I didn’t intend it to be condescending. But I’m 100% certain that guy would knock that girl out in a second. It wasn’t just “a man”, it was a fit fighter man with tons of muscles.

      It’s an RPG, of course it does! Particularly if you decide to give your character the ‘Bloody Mess’ perk, which causes every enemy to violently and horrifically explode in a shower of miscellaneous chunks.

        Well I guess, if the TV show is supposed to be like a game, then at least I understand why she is overpowered.

  Her introduction montage at the beginning, where she was doing all the exercises and training, didn’t do it for ya? Between the two, I thought the guy was less believable given his circumstances.

  • 1984@lemmy.today ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Really? So interesting to me that someone would think she could even hurt the guy.

    • Eggyhead@kbin.run ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      The way he was built in the show, sure, but he’s supposedly very irradiated, malnourished and poorly disciplined. I think the scenario of her winning that fight on makes more sense than him looking so buff in the first place.

      • 1984@lemmy.today ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Yeah makes sense. I don’t know the backstory at all so in that light, it makes sense. Guess they wanted to cast some sexy actor rather than someone who looks the part.

  It’s a video game show that uses the rules of the video game world.
