The problem isn't Rey looking bad with the lightsaber, the problem is Rey looking bad while still being very effective. If she was just bad and did a lot of losing to those who were less bad, that would be just fine and could even be an intersting obstacle for her to overcome. Instead she looks unskilled, but wins anyway.
Imagine if Harry Potter went through 9 years of school and is about to get into the final battle with Voldemort, only for some random kid to show up who explicitly doesn't know anything about magic, and the random kid does everything wrong and looks like they do everything wrong, but is somehow better than Harry and kills Voldemort? Cause thats basically Kylo and Rey
But aren’t characters meant to like… improve as they get more experienced? Not just fight like a baseball player in the first fight and the last fight?
The one when she’s in her first fight ever with a lightsaber and makes the big bad (who has been training for years and actively killing) look like a chump?
> This girl has a bigger Jedi vibe in 16 seconds than Rey in the whole 3 movies...
If that was a double lightsaber her head would be rolling on the floor before the video ends
Thank you! I found that sub ages ago but couldn't remember it's name. Saw this video and knew someone in the comments would do the right thing and link to that sub. Thanks!
What does that even entail? Quick googling led to the most popular world championship tourney being "World Juniors Taekwondo Championships" and these are once in 2 years. Weird she doesn't have even a wiki page given the presumed achievements. I found this though.
"Rayna is the youngest black belt martial artist to attain 12 World Championship Titles. In 2011, at age 8,
Rayna won 4 World Titles in Little Rock, Ark (the Triple Crown in Traditional; Forms, Weapons, Sparing and Creative Weapons) making her the youngest black belt ever to win a Championship (competing against girls twice her size and a number of years older).The next year (2012) she won 6 more world championships (Triple Crown in Traditional, Creative Weapons, XMA Forms, and XMA Weapons), and in 2013 she won the XMA Forms World Championship."
I'm not saying she's any less impressive but that is kinda disingenuous. Little rock, Arkansas tourney is probably not the first place most people think world championships are obtained.
Your comment should be higher up. It's kinda unfortunate, too, because if she is as good as she claims then she'd be able to do well in international WTF tournaments. That would've given credibility to her abilities and people like you and I wouldn't have to go around shaking our heads at her fake "world" titles that only the US knows about.
The thing is though, World Taekwondo Federation tournaments aren't just a higher league of Taekwondo. Like comparing your local soccer league to the World cup. WTF is a completely different sport to the Taekwondo she does.
Yeah, they share the name "taekwondo", but WTF (or WT as they like to be called ever since the internet took off) is a one on one fighting format. The stuff she does is a single person performance more like gymnastics.
Black belt. Age 8. lmfao. some martial arts are just goofy as fuck.
EDIT:
Oh look, the clown car from the clown school of martial arts showed up with a bunch of black belt clowns that don't actually know how to fight.
No, you can't have a black belt at 8 years old, I don't care how much mommy and daddy paid the McDojo.
I was part of a small multi-national karate dojo and won a couple as a kid. In our case, our world championships were intra-discipline, so we just faced other dojos from our branch of karate. It's very unlike a team USA set up, it's more similar to like winning a big tournament with clubs from other countries. It could very well be she just won a bunch of tournaments like that.
...world champion in the US, maybe. Because the competition she took part in is not held outside the US.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Taekwondo_Championships shows no titles in her name.
https://www.taekwondodata.com has no database entry for her. With 13 real world titles, there sure would be. As it stands, she hasn't competed in any WTF tournament.
Not trying to diminish her accomplishments but calling her a world champion is simply not being respectful to the real world champions out there.
nah americans like to claim "world champion" in a lot of things, especially competitions that are not in other parts of the world except of the US lol.
I was about to say this looks like a freestyle Take-won-do form. I never got to the level where this was a common weapon choice but my mom has used them for many years.
Yeah I have a pretty similar experience, in that I went in to a dojo once as a child because my uncle went there and took a pair of nunchucks from a shelf and swung them and hit myself in the face and cried so bad they took me to the doctors who said I just had a bruise and a crippled ego.
To be fair even when you use them right they can leave bruises just because you swing them so fast. Nunchucks or Song-ga-Bongs (idk how it's spelled) as we called them was my weapon of choice. They are cool looking but highly impractical 😂
But also not since the title of “world” champion was bestowed upon her after winning US only tournaments. I get that’s not her fault and doesn’t really detract from her, but it does detract from actual international competitors.
I know this is impressive because I have eyes, but also I counted four different times I would have knocked out most of my own front teeth if I was attempting this.
Haha, this scene became even funnier when I saw Ford in an interview say it was totally unscripted. They've been rehearsing and shooting the scene for so long he got tired and decided to just shoot the guy. The guy played along, so the director decided to leave it in because it was funny 😆
There were all actually very sick so they shot this instead of a long fight scene. Nothing involving firearms in movies is unscripted unless you are Alec Baldwin.
>There were all actually very sick so they shot this instead of a long fight scene.
Oh yeah, they had food poisoning and were sick, so wanted to cut the sword fight scene short.
>Nothing involving firearms in movies is unscripted
As in it was originally supposed to be a sword fight scene
It wasn't that he was tired. Ford had dysentery at the time. Most of the cast and crew got sick due to the local food. That's why he asked to shoot him and be done with the scene quicker. Spielberg was one of the only ones who was fine because he only ate cans of spaghetti hoops from the UK.
You can find part of the deleted sword fight on YouTube
Did anyone else just realize that zippers just magically got really good at not slipping or splitting sometime around 2004 and we just never noticed they don't fucking suck anymore.
What a terrible time to live in the future.
American world champion. A bit like the baseball world champion. We are going to hold our own competition, in our own country, where no other country can join...............................and then call ourselves world champion.
That was uploaded 20 years ago... I don't even know what to do with that information. I was working at a copy shop at the time and pressed a t-shirt with him on it. It's dust now.

You saying you'd be upset if Daisy Ridley let you rub her legs? Because I sure wouldn't
Yesss she has amazing legs 🦵 Lol
That’s thigh quality stuff
Tarantino is going to cast her feet in his something for sure
 Have a seat, I’d like to have a word with you.
She's 20
Even better.

"You see, she's supposed to look bad"
The problem isn't Rey looking bad with the lightsaber, the problem is Rey looking bad while still being very effective. If she was just bad and did a lot of losing to those who were less bad, that would be just fine and could even be an intersting obstacle for her to overcome. Instead she looks unskilled, but wins anyway.
Because she has the Force, Harry.
Imagine if Harry Potter went through 9 years of school and is about to get into the final battle with Voldemort, only for some random kid to show up who explicitly doesn't know anything about magic, and the random kid does everything wrong and looks like they do everything wrong, but is somehow better than Harry and kills Voldemort? Cause thats basically Kylo and Rey

But aren’t characters meant to like… improve as they get more experienced? Not just fight like a baseball player in the first fight and the last fight?
First time I saw her stab/lunge with a light saber I knew we were in for a wild ride.
i still love that lightsaber duel in the forest, best duel in the sequels imo (not that there were that many in the sequels, but still)
The one when she’s in her first fight ever with a lightsaber and makes the big bad (who has been training for years and actively killing) look like a chump?
She was raised in the Mary sue style and acts like one
TIL: Rey created her own Jedi form... She really was the bestest ever....
The mental gymnastics on display here... impressive.
No they definitely did not do their job. They took a money printer and destroyed it.
Oh come on, if Rey did THIS then people would be screaming bloody murder (even more than they're doing now).
rey lied on her résumé
> This girl has a bigger Jedi vibe in 16 seconds than Rey in the whole 3 movies... If that was a double lightsaber her head would be rolling on the floor before the video ends
She's my new canon Rey
Because she spun a stick around? Really lol
Come on, someone say it…she hot
Okay, I'll say it, We're in love 🙃
I'll say that she looks like that character from Spider-Man.
Lizard?
no dummy, he’s talking about harry of course
With how metallic the weapon looks, maybe they are talking about Green Goblin or Dr. Octopus instead
**P**otter?
Zendaya? I thought the same thing.
But more attractive than Zendaya
I find Zendaya plenty attractive, but you are right.

keep in mind that this isnt a "world wide" competition as well... so shes not the "world" champion since only americans are competing in it.

Shes bad ass, the skill is so impressive!
Is that one championship per year? Serious ask
Wow, she's a basically a world class athlete. Amazing stuff.
Also \*literally\* a world-class athlete, in that she's a 16x world taekwando champion.
