Warning: No huge spoilers, but I do talk about some of the fight scenes. Theres like 70 minutes of battle, but I feel I should still warn people.
Normally, I doubt many people would find such manslaughter to be funny. In fact, when Leonidas kicks the messanger in the well, a part of me said "That guy just got owned," and another said "...dude was only a messanger! chill out! damn!"
What makes scenes where a guys leg is chopped off hilarious in a movie? Like the part where Leonidas was just muchin on his apple like it was all good, but they were stabbing guys in the background? I chuckled. In fact, that just might be my favorite scene because of its irony.
Now, same situation in real life, and I would probably throw up in my mouth a little, walk aimlessly for a minute or two, and pass out.
So, is it because people know that it is just fake images that they are able to laugh at it, or at least shrug it off? Or is there something else?
