The knight in the big world of American TV series

Chapter 2345

Such a change has been observed.

The Asgardians on the sidelines immediately wanted to rush in to help... They realized that both sides were at their last gasp, and their intervention could decide the outcome.

Unfortunately... neither Sif nor the other Asgardian warriors could truly control their thoughts; their bodies simply wouldn't obey them at this moment. Their bodies resisted their involvement in the battle.

As anyone who has seen a movie knows, at the end of a film, when the protagonist faces the big boss, all the henchmen around him have died!

It's basically a one-on-one battle between the protagonist and the boss!

It sounds normal, but it doesn't fit reality. What are typical movie tropes like?

Typically, the protagonist is weak and alone, while the villain is an evil organization that is not only rich and powerful but also all-powerful. The protagonist goes through some hardships, usually related to blood feuds, such as the murder of his wife, girlfriend, father, or male elder. Later, the story becomes more diverse, and even the murder of his own dog can become a trigger for the protagonist's emotions.

In short, it's about the protagonist fighting against an evil organization all by himself.

In the movie, the villains will probably be sent to their deaths one by one, according to their rank and strength.

Finally, there's the most powerful boss.

But reality is definitely not like that. Other villainous bosses would never send their subordinates to their deaths one by one. Once they realize a threat, they will immediately extinguish it!
They certainly wouldn't hide away, letting the protagonist eliminate their underlings and leaving them all alone before facing the protagonist again.

Oh, and there's another rule: regardless of whether the movie is set in ancient times, modern times, or even a sci-fi future, the protagonist and the boss always end up in a traditional duel with cold weapons... At most, the form might be changed a bit, like the cold weapons becoming more sophisticated or turning into sci-fi products, like lightsabers from Star Wars... But no matter how high-tech those things are, they're still just cold weapons.

That's where the question comes in!

why? !

A: For the sake of effectiveness!

First, even in science fiction movies, close-quarters combat is often the most thrilling part. While the weaponry in science fiction can be highly unrealistic, the climax of the film often comes at the moment of close combat—ammunition is exhausted, the outcome is still undecided, and the final showdown is a duel between the two strongest fighters using close-quarters weapons. At this point, even if the result is generally not unexpected for adult viewers—the righteous will inevitably defeat the evil—the process of the duel, how the righteous will defeat the evil, and what exciting moments will occur will still keep adult viewers incredibly excited. Adult viewers will also experience considerable tension when the righteous are at a disadvantage. However, children and teenagers may not be able to predict the outcome, making the result of close-quarters combat full of suspense for many children.

The use of melee weapons in science fiction films can reflect a rebellious spirit and discontent with excessive reliance on technology in a future society. In an era of highly advanced technology, humanity has become increasingly dependent on it, and this dependence can bring negative consequences, such as the decline of human intelligence and thought, and the infringement upon human freedom and dignity. Therefore, science fiction films sometimes feature rebels or independent fighters who choose to use melee weapons to resist rulers or invaders, rather than relying on high-tech weaponry. Such settings can highlight the human spirit of freedom, courage, and resilience.

Therefore, in order to make audiences appreciate and love a science fiction film because of the thrill they experienced while watching it, science fiction films often feature the use of short weapons.

Secondly, the outcome of a close-quarters combat is the most crucial standard for determining who is stronger or weaker.

Because the potential for mistakes in close-quarters combat is far less than in firearms battles, and because close-quarters combat best reveals the true skills and ultimate fighting power of both sides when a firearms engagement is evenly matched… Many viewers hope to definitively determine which character is the strongest after watching a science fiction film—even if the difference between the second and first strongest is only a fraction of a second. Therefore, this desire for accurate ratings leads many viewers to expect science fiction films to reveal the strongest through close-quarters combat. To satisfy this demand, science fiction films often incorporate the element of close-quarters combat.

Third, short weapons are the oldest and most widespread weapons. Moreover, in real wars, many shrewd warriors, no matter how good their equipment is, will always keep a last resort for themselves – that is, a short weapon. Although movies are more advanced than life, they are based on life. Therefore, the shrewd warriors in science fiction movies are also like this – no matter how good their equipment is, they will always keep a last resort for themselves – a short weapon.

Fourth, the elegance and classic appeal of some short weapons are irreplaceable by firearms. While short weapons may have limited power, their aesthetic appeal is undeniable. Short weapons like swords can be collected as exquisite works of art, and other short weapons each possess their own classic designs. In this respect, firearms are likely to fall short, as are high-tech weapons, and even the surreal weapons in science fiction films are far less visually appealing. In science fiction films, the image of valiant warriors wielding ornate short weapons deeply captivates audiences. Therefore, the use of short weapons is a common element in science fiction films.

In science fiction films, cold weapons also represent an evolution of cultural symbols. In ancient times, humans used cold weapons as their primary weapons, such as swords, knives, and bows and arrows. These weapons held high symbolic significance at the time; for example, the sword was considered a symbol of chivalry in medieval Europe, while the Chinese longsword was seen as a representative of Confucian culture. In modern society, with the development of technology, people no longer rely on cold weapons as their primary weapons, but these weapons have become cultural symbols, representing human history, tradition, and culture. In science fiction films, the use of cold weapons to depict the history and culture of future societies also reflects a respect for and protection of tradition and culture.

Fifth, short weapons can be imbued with mythological elements, and many science fiction films like to incorporate mythological elements.

Greek mythology, Roman mythology, Norse mythology, Eastern mythology, Chinese mythology, and so on—the classic elements of these mythologies are often featured in science fiction works and films. In these mythological eras, only short weapons were used; firearms were not. Therefore, the use of short weapons in science fiction films is a common element.

Also, why is it that in the end it's always the protagonist and the boss fighting one-on-one?

It's not just science fiction: whether it's war, fantasy, or other action movies, they often end in close-quarters combat. The reason is simple: hand-to-hand combat brings the characters back to themselves. No matter how grand the world-building or how complex the setting, the story always begins with the characters. We experience the world through the protagonist: they are our entry point. Climax scenes in big productions typically feature massive armies, but think about it: the larger the scene, the smaller the people appear. Usually, such scenes are supported by ranged weapons like guns, bows and arrows, and cannons. Therefore, the opponents are far away. And there are many people, creating a chaotic scene. To depict such a scene, a panoramic view is needed. So, the structure of a typical climax scene is: starting with the widest possible perspective to showcase the grand scene (of course, there will be occasional cuts to the protagonists, but the main focus is still on the grand scale), and finally, close-quarters combat brings the focus back to the protagonists. And the way hand-to-hand combat is filmed is always close-up, allowing the audience to get close to the characters. In some movies, the grand action sequence (A) and the protagonist's personal storyline (B) can be brought together at a single climax. Star Wars, for example, uses close-quarters action scenes to introduce the protagonist's personal story. In my opinion, a climax that combines storylines A and B is the best setup.

Therefore, many seemingly illogical settings will appear openly and legitimately, and the audience is happy to accept them.

Similarly, so too is eternity.

It's not that he doesn't like watching 'war movies'.

However, his hobby is to pay more attention to each individual... It's quite interesting that as the supreme representative of the universe, he focuses on the grudges and affections of tiny individuals!
Therefore, he would not allow anyone to ruin this final scene.

He didn't know who would win between Thor and Gol, or rather, he controlled himself from 'fast-forwarding' or 'rewinding', and he was even more forbidden from doing so in other ways!

In fact, after they entered this place...

The Tribunal for Life has lost control over these people!

Fate cannot interfere here.

Generally speaking, the Court of Life would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen.

The problem is that this is the Eternal Altar.

No matter how arrogant the Court of Life may be, it cannot confront eternity!

Even fate couldn't interfere with the outcome of their match, so others probably wouldn't want to either.

In fact, Eternal didn't even take any proactive steps to restrict these people.

Eternity simply had the idea that it 'didn't want anyone to interfere'.

Therefore, no one could take any action!

Eternal thought can change the laws of this universe!
As a result, a large group of people were forced to become spectators!

Not only can they not help, they don't even want them to speak for eternity!

So even Sif remained silent. It wasn't that she didn't want to speak, but rather that, at some point, her mouth had become sore and she couldn't open it, nor could she move her tongue!

……

Gel reached out and summoned the Black Death Sword, just as he had done before. Unfortunately, this time, the Black Death Sword seemed to be struggling in its death throes; it twitched a few times and then remained still.

Thor immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, it seems the Black Death Sword and Thor's Hammer are different!

As the Black Death Sword shattered, Geer felt his strength rapidly declining. Although his body had been repaired, he was still extremely weak!
Gel could sense that the Black Death Sword hadn't disappeared; it had merely abandoned him!
The Black Death Sword may not be very intelligent, at least not as clever as Mjolnir. Mjolnir can recognize its wielder. Odin chanted a spell over the hammer... Odin's spell on Mjolnir was, "Whoever picks up this hammer must have a heart worthy of it. Whoever can pick it up will possess the power of Thor."

Hmm, that sounds pretty plausible, doesn't it?

But look closely, damn it, this guy used plain language! It's not some obscure incantation at all!

Actually, it wasn't a spell at all; it was Odin negotiating with Thor's hammer...

Looking at it this way, isn't Thor's hammer quite intelligent...? In comparison, the Black Death Sword is utterly idiotic. There's no way around it; Gnar is a super antisocial lunatic. He loathes everything in the material universe, finding them all too noisy! And that being with self-awareness is even more so.

When he created the symbiotes and gave them intelligence, he was simply using them as more efficient tools. He never gave them emotions... but life always finds its own way. Those symbiotes evolved emotions on their own and then betrayed him!

Therefore, as his sword, the Black Death Sword could not possibly possess intelligence!

Even without intelligence, the Black Death Sword is not a truly inanimate object. It may not have its own emotions and feelings like Thor's hammer, but it should be equivalent to a smartphone.

Gel's actions of relentlessly exploiting the Black Death Sword were practically an attempt to destroy it, a fact that the Black Death Sword could discern!

Seeing that the Black Death Sword had completely abandoned him!
Geer's nerves completely snapped!

He knew what the Black Death Sword wanted: it wanted Gale to become its puppet completely!
Let it come!
To achieve his goal, Gehr was fearless!

Anyway, it seems like he has nothing left to lose.

"Come on! You want me, don't you?! Come on!!!"

Sif knew the whole truth, and at this moment she was really anxious!

The problem is that Eternal doesn't allow her to speak at all!

This is terrible!

Black Death Sword once again felt the madness and hatred that Gale felt before his death!

This is Black Death Sword's favorite, because only someone like this can be a better fit for Gnar!
Nar, the God of Darkness, is an absolutely insane being who despises all existence, even the concept of 'existence' itself!
It represents the absolute nothingness of the universe!
What is absolute nothingness? It is nothingness. If he could, Gnar would even be happy to kill the five gods as well!
Let everything return to its original state, just as it should be in the universe!

This kind of madness is something that doesn't even exist in the universe... after all, there are all sorts of birds in a big forest!

But it’s definitely rare!

Black Death Sword would simply pull out one whenever he saw it!
Now that Gale is willing to sacrifice himself, Black Death Sword, that idiot, will naturally forgive and forget!
Do people with intellectual disabilities really have the ability to forgive and forget?
