Seriously. The action sequences in those two eps are so fuckin bad. A list:
-A yao guai sneaks up behind a Knight and his squire, attacking from behind the cave entrance they just walked through? How does a giant monster sneak up behind two people in a brightly lit area? Where did it even come from? It was growling from in the cave, they walk in the cave, and suddenly its behind them? The fuck?
-The action sequence of the fight was embarrassingly bad. The yao guai standing up on its hind legs and roaring multiple times.
-The hilariously slow reaction time of Michael Rappaport/Titus in power armor.
-Titus squaring off with the yao guai and doing just fine. Appears to be a 50/50 fight. Yao guai stands up again and roars for no reason and Titus decides to run away screaming "fuck fuck fuck fuck" even though he was doing just fine?
-Knight Titus getting KTFO'd stone cold from a bonk on the head? Wtf? These power armor suits turn you into a demi-god but you get knocked out cold from bonking your head?
-A SINGLE 10mm shot to the head instantly kills the Yao guai but a fucking knight in power armor couldn't do anything?
-Apparently no one wrote any lines for Michael Rappaport. He's just talking like himself and repeating the same 3 phrases again and again "you stupid mother fucker" "they'll kill you for this" I
know they brought him on to play as Michael Rappaport in this role, just like they did with Fred Armisten as the music hipster. But god damn write him some fucking lines man.
-The big fight in Filly was unbelievably stupid. Maximus could have killed Cooper so many different times. All he had to do at any point was grab him and crush him. But instead he decides to try and box with him while wearing 2 tons of armor...To really just drive home how fucking stupid that scene was, in the next episode they show Maximus using the power armor to crush a dude's skull with ease. I understand that they can't just kill Cooper as he's a main character,
so write the fucking scene in a way that makes sense.
-Cooper knifes dogmeat in the neck after attacking dogmeat's owner. Then he revives/heals the dog and the dog just jumps up all happy and starts paling around with the guy who just knifed him in the neck. Absolutely fucking baffling
-Also as
@Seano pointed out - the last episode Cooper suddenly can one shot kill knights in power armor but for some reason didn't think to do that in the fight was Maximus in Filly? Wtf man??
