Ha!
I wouldn't mind some more slow motion in Star Wars, better done than this though.
Interesting. Another example of your hypocritical nature.Wouldn't they be getting warnings and bans if they weren't?
The point was that even though Nemesis’s swords weren’t copies of lightsabers they still weren’t unique looking. There are other examples that predate RB that aren’t green like those in Scott Pilgrim and Game Of Thrones:A sword that has a magic green flame wrapped around it?

Both of those are swords where blades are engulfed with flames. Not metal that gets so hot it glows.The point was that even though Nemesis’s swords weren’t copies of lightsabers they still weren’t unique looking.

What’s sad is that from what I’ve read Snyder did create a fairly elaborate backstory for Nemesis that explains her use of the swords and their significance in her culture, he just neglected to put any of that on the &#%*! screen for the audience.
Yes I read that explanation as well, although based on what we saw on film the katana seemingly are just made of a special metal that maintains it shape when superheated and the prosthetics both generate the heat and protect her from it (ZS may have used the term molten metal but that's technically a misnomer, as that literally means heated to its liquid form). When she fought the spider chick they originally weren't heated up (she even dropped them at one point but then got them back), but it's not like she had a 2nd set on hand. When she eventually lit them up they were the same swords.Nemesis’s swords, when glowing, are made of molten metal. If I understand the lore I’ve read correctly she belongs to an assassin’s guild. The members of that guild voluntarily consent to have their forearms amputated and replaced with cybernetic prosthetics that can generate this unique form of molten metal, i.e., it is engineered so that it maintains its basic form even when in motion. It looks like she also uses a mundane set of katanas as well. Unless maybe those katanas can change back and forth between ordinary steel and their molten state? But anyway, the cybernetic forearms are what generate the molten metal swords.
You know exactly what I’m talking about.If you would care to explain what you are talking about, I'd be happy to address it.
Yes I concede that they're not the same, but when in motion they looked quite similar to me. But we've beaten this horse enough lol.Both of those are swords where blades are engulfed with flames. Not metal that gets so hot it glows.
That might be revealed in the extended version or part 2.
I'd have to watch it again to be sure but could it of been more about her being pinned by the spider thing and then being cybernetic rather than them getting damaged?Yes I read that explanation as well, although based on what we saw on film the katana seemingly are just made of a special metal that maintains it shape when superheated and the prosthetics both generate the heat and protect her from it (ZS may have used the term molten metal but that's technically a misnomer, as that literally means heated to its liquid form).

One thing about that fight that struck me as odd was that early on I distinctly recall Snyder made a point of showing the spider chick piercing/damaging one of what we now know was one of Nemesis's gauntlets. Despite that happening she was still able to heat up both of her katana. Makes one think that he was initially going to have her fight with one "hot" and one "cold" katana during the 2nd phase of the duel but then changed his mind.
A glowing sword and laser guns weren't done by Star Wars first
I don't, no.Serious question, do you know the first movie to use a "lightsaber" or laser sword?

I did think they were going to get too damaged when I was watching.
Actually, on film, it was Star Wars.
I had to look it up.
There it is! Rebel moon is a rip off! Close the thread now!
That's pretty much how it played for me.It definitely looked like it was pierced (complete with an electrical short/discharge of some kind) rather than just pinned and when she lopped off the end of the spider's leg it didn't immediately fall away, but the cut away to the next shot was extremely fast and then it was gone when they cut back to Nemesis standing again so it's hard to say for sure either way. Not a big deal I just thought we'd see the effect of that "short" come into play. Of course when I watched the movie initially I didn't know she had her forearms & hands amputated and replaced with cybernetic prosthetics - I just assumed she was wearing some high tech gauntlets that somehow interfaced with the katana. Maybe the prosthetic automatically rerouted things to its backup power supply lol.
I’m as flabbergasted as you are
