Well, I hate to ruin it then, but the choreography for that specific scene was widely criticized for having serious mistakes and editing errors.

The first video doesn't mention it, but the constant red guard spinning, is because stuntmen are trained to quickly add spins and flourishes... when the actors are too slow and behind schedule in the sequence.

- setgree 3y agoTo quote Roger Ailes in 'Bombshells,' "It's a visual medium!" [0] Meaning, whether a scene succeeds or fails on screen is first and foremost about whether it looks good, and this scene looked great. Obviously visuals aren't everything -- the story should make enough sense to be emotionally engaging, and the mechanics should never threaten your suspension of disbelief -- but they're the main thing. This video analyzes the fight scene as though it's a text about how people would fight with laser swords, and it's not. It's a visual medium.
