This development of hubris, especially since she lost their previous confrontation, is indicative of her young naive character and this fight really brings it out. She even boasts to Yeoh and allows her to pick another weapon. However, as the fight continues, Ziyi gains more confidence with the Green Destiny and starts to become more offensive. You can see how Yeoh's character quickly takes the upper-hand and maintains it throughout most of the fight. Ziyi's character starts off the fight scared and with trepidation. This is part of what makes this such a great fight sequence. What I haven't seen anyone else comment on is the character development throughout the fight. I know you can’t tell a story like Endgame without visual effects, Hulk looked so real in some scenes.īut for the most part it’s just boring to watch, not because of the excuse of there being ‘cartoon characters fighting’ but more because for the most part, it’s done for the sake of doing it as opposed to taking a risk. And I remember some advice from a film maker who said if a film cuts heavily around action, it usually means the actors don’t look good or it hasn’t been choreographed well. The only exceptions were Iron Man 1 and 2. Everytime they have a real fight it’s edited and shot like a claustrophobic nightmare. MCU shovel most of their budget to post-work and marketing. You’re in awe of those fight scenes because they’re real. Matrix comes to mind, something that relies heavily on it but balances that perfectly with practical work and incredible stuntwork. There’s times it works, using it tell a story the right way.
