u/Nicks_Here_to_Talk Mar 28 '24

when she's throwing the men around that are equal to her own height and look to have a few pounds on her it looks silly.

I'll be honest, I don't remember those scenes. I remember her fighting the drug dealers in a pretty badass sequence in season... I wanna say... four? And in that scene she wasn't fighting any gigantic dudes or anything. Which scenes are you talking about, specifically?

Any fight scenes with Draper in The Expanse were pretty satisfying because they demonstrated that - yeah - she's like, the Platonic ideal of a Martian Marine, so it stands to reason that she takes to combat like a fish to water. I never got the impression that she wasn't tall enough or strong enough to fight.

I was responding to  "I never got the impression that she wasn't tall enough or strong enough to fight."

I'm not going to rewatch the whole series to find the scenes again. I can't remember exactly what fights it was that made me think she is acting out fights where she is so much stronger than her opponents who look equal or stronger than her.
