I just started the series recently and I can't stand the fight scenes because of the ridiculous number of jump-cuts. I know they can't get it right in one cut, but they keep changing the camera angle every second. How is this enjoyable? Don't they have choreographers or something?
Anyone else find the fight scenes in GoT unwatchable?
Owen Johnson
Tyler King
You literally posted the best one
Jeremiah Morgan
its literally one of the worst
Mason Hill
>watch the 'Cleganebowl' to see what the fuck the gotfags are on about
>10 camera cuts per seconds
Brayden Fisher
Let's be honest here: the last few seasons and ending retroactively ruin everything that came before so why are you bothering?
Cooper Bell
90% of modern hollywood fight scenes are garbage for these reasons.
Tyler Richardson
Well I'm actually enjoying it quite a bit, but this seems to bother me. It's weird they need such a ridiculous number of jump-cuts considering the actors seem to be pretty well-trained here:

I'm not even asking for the whole fight to be one scene.
Aaron Wilson
The clothing and armor make it shit, I don't expect actors to be stuntmen. Just show them closing their visors before the fight, make sure they wear distinctive crests like Bobby B, or differently colored tabards. Get Scott Adkins to stand in. Instant meleekino.
Joshua Morris
Why the fuck can't they get it right in one cut
Ayden Hill
Bentley Nguyen
this show has never done 1v1s particularly well, at least the hound and brienne fight had some oomph to it.
Adrian Young
I hate jump cuts too but some of the fights on the show were surprisingly good. Jorah tanking the Dothraki with his plate was kino and John snow had some decent choreography vs a wight in season 1 and the white walker at Hardholm. Also Bronn using strategy vs the vale knight and Jamie stabbing the Northman with his offhand dagger were both interesting.
Jonathan Nelson
Bronn vs. Ser Vardis and The Hound vs. Beric are the only watchable fights in the show. Oberyn vs. The Mountain would have been good if not for all the pointless spinning.
Vikings is well past its prime but still managed to produce much more believable fights at a fraction of GoT's budget.

>Don't they have choreographers or something?
I wondered this same thing during all of the Sand Snake fight scenes. I never thought GoT fights were extra good before that, but they were passable. That shit just felt like I was watching bad larpers playfighting in a local park though, rather than a TV series with millions and millions of dollars behind it.
Nathan King
you know it's shit when every half a second there's another cut
Easton Perry
the terrible fight scenes are why I don't understand how even big brainlets praise Battle of the bastards or hardhome. it's fucking unwatchable to me.
even blackwater is pretty difficult to watch and there is really only a few minutes of weapon swinging but that few minutes is painful as fuck
Ryan Evans
More like a choreography that barely looks cool when there isn't a bloody camera cut every 2 seconds.
No, i wish shows could show real techniques when showing sword fights. I'm sick and tired of seeing the same damn 360° turns for the fanboys.
Jayden Scott
The fight starts at 05:50 you retard
Grayson Cox
Cleganebowl was the most disappointing
Dominic Nelson
A little. You know IRL, that they'd have daggers, ready to immobilize their opponents via slicing/stabbing their knees/thighs/calf; then use their swords to finish them. @ 1:28 in this vid is realistic;

Jayden Long
Brienne howling like a literal retard ruins every fight she's in.
Isaiah Green
The whole show is trash and not worth your time at all after s1, just stop now
Parker Morales
I find Brienne's fights scenes are fine if you put them on mute
Eli Cox
Even when she swings at Arya like a foot above her head and Arya ducks anyway?
Asher Robinson
Jackie chan should direct every fight scene in every movie
Eli Flores
Yeah you're right. The fights really are shit. Ned vs Jaime is the best one
Brody Brown
It's almost like most actors suck at athletic and physical activities and directors have to constantly disguise it or something
Gabriel Richardson
It's your standard Hollywood shit with a bunch of cuts.
Caleb Wood
lol wtf is this shit even real?
Liam Baker
Game of Thrones was never about fights so I never minded
Liam Smith
Brienne vs Hound is the best fight though
It actually has impact felt in it, especially when he kicks her in the Vag and then she starts going beast mode on him with punches and a rock
Way better than Cleganebowl
Adam Wilson
What makes you say that?
Caleb Moore
Just have them wear helmets and make stunt men do the fighting
Nicholas Baker
Wasn't Bill Hobbs on the show then? You'd get better results from the guy that worked on Duellists, Rob Roy and Excalibur.
Ian Murphy
Zachary Fisher
actors want camera time
Leo Myers
Real Duels don't last long go watch a John Wick if you want fastcuts.
Dylan Anderson
>Just started
>Can't stand the fight scenes
Oh boy you better stop now then
David Taylor
actually looks like the sand snek on the right forgot to parry his blow at the end of the gif so they edited it with cg to compensate
