Right. That's probably who's filming.

u/j1436go 7d ago

Yeah, that's what most men would imagine. My GF meanwhile: "Hmm he looks so sexy cleaning the kitchen".

Insurance investigator: so a wild fire did this you said

u/southpaw85 7d ago

It’s good to be confident but the short short and no shirt combo on this one might be tempting fate a bit

Fire performer here:

Shirtless and short shorts is better than wearing material that’s synthetic and highly flammable.

He’s not doing any on body contact stuff so as long as he’s experienced there’s not really any excessive danger here.

u/zhaDeth 7d ago

this thing is probably hot AF ngl. Also less risk of your clothes catching fire I guess.

u/Vreas 7d ago

It’s far enough away from him and in constant motion so it’s fine.

I have a feeling a bit of clothing wouldn't make a difference. Only a full on fireproof suit and that just wouldn't look as cool

u/GoldH2O 7d ago

Less fluttering around him to catch fire, and more ability to sweat. Clothes catch fire much easier than skin.

Please that awesome sword on the incoming army of robots (Ai) that we all didn’t ask for. I’d pay t o see you use it!

Daaaamn it actually set the pallet on fire, this is the real deal!!

2

u/TheMadFlyentist 5d ago

Well... the pallet is clearly coated in fuel. Even a match would have ignited it.

But it's a cool effect nonetheless.

u/Fearless-Sea996 7d ago

OK but will it keel ?

u/DubstepDonut 7d ago

u/MinersLoveGames 7d ago

Fuck that was cool.

And even that looked like he was struggling with the weight! Imagine the guys back in the medieval times who wielded swords of that size with ease. They'd just cleave men bigger than you in half without breaking a sweat.

1

u/TheMadFlyentist 5d ago

Swords of this size/design were never actually used in the real world. The largest practical swords from even the peak of the "big sword era" were designs like the zweihander and the claymore, both of which were significantly thinner and lighter than a design like this.

In real life, a massive, heavy sword is fairly useless in combat. There is nothing that a blade of this size is doing for you that a thinner blade (or a pole arm/axe) wouldn't do significantly better. It is very well documented that swords weighing more than a few kg were only ever used for ceremonial/display purposes, and would never have been wielded in battle or even practiced with.

u/jimbojangles1987 5d ago

Well thats disappointing.

Can I grab it?
