well, like others have said, i would imagine that what would "suck" about beheading someone with a sword (?) who broke into your house would be.....
wait, what are we talking about?
where did all the guns come from?
i thought we were imagining beheading someone with a sword.
and what would suck about it.
everything, i would expect, would suck about beheading someone with a sword.
i watched alexander nevsky yesterday. it featured lots of sequences that involved cinematic whacking and dismembering. it looked like pretty much everything about it would suck.
this version, however, looks lilke it'd be more fun because you get to fly in it:
but i think the actual killing part would suck.
and that is my conclusion
and the evidence upon which it is based.
btw: i do not buy for a second that this sort of fantasy scenario thread says anything about what anyone would actually do were they confronted--somehow--with a situation in which they found themselves threatened by an intruder while holding a sword, but rather says alot about how people like to deploy their imaginations.
given that all that is happening here is an exchange of imagined scenarios with more or less detail as a function of whether you happen to spend your time filling out the detail in such scenarios, what i dont understand is the sense that seems to run everywhere that one group's fantasy life is more manly than another's.
on the other hand, i put up a graphic involving stick figures who engage in swordplay, so perhaps my inner life is that of a manlyman as well.
