Named the show “Shogun”… But the protagonist is a British guy, and he takes up most of every episode. The show should be called “Blackthorn‘s crazy adventures in Japan.” We already saw “The Last Samurai,” FX. That’s not what we thought we were signing up for.

They've been doing a PHENOMENAL job with this series. I reread the book last summer, before I even knew they were making this. They've been so dedicated to the historical accuracy, and the results are amazing. They've even been fixing historical inaccuracies from the book in the show. Beyond that they made the show their own. For the most part, the changes they've done made sense, and the way they're giving some of the more ancillary characters from the book their own life on the screen, in a way that feels genuine. 👍

Or you can accidentally stab someone believe it or not if you hold it the wrong way. Whereas with a gun I think the safety rules are more intuitive. Particularly because we are more familiar with them now. Both are safe used properly but the sword strikes me as more dangerous to the user especially.

@digitaljanus 4 ай бұрын

They _are_ heavier. They weigh as much as a European longsword, which is on average almost a foot longer than a katana.

@ricardodemarco3486 4 ай бұрын

@@digitaljanus my point about the “feel heavier” is because the center of mass on a katana is generally further from the handle than in a longsword. Katanas do not have distal taper nor pommel to counterbalance the weight of the blade, therefore more mass is located near the center of the blade rather than the handle or guard.

Im surprised he lived it went all the way in tight above his heart. But these movies ans tv shows never learn about using real knives and ammunition.
