It is a bit hard, though it helps to be aiming at something that distracts you from the noise.
My boyfriend: great at EVERYTHING!
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Enh, there's tons of actors out there that have been throwing crappy punches onscreen forever.

Oh, hell yes. That girl has the least credible fight scenes I've ever seen. Somewhere, Michael Dudikoff is laughing at her right now.

I've seen worse. Like Allysa Milano on that witch show.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've probably seen worse, but it wasn't Alyssa.

Like Allysa Milano on that witch show.
Is her character supposed to be a good fighter? (I've only seen a few minutes of the show, but I thought it was more about boobs and throwing flashes of light around than actual hand-to-hand fighting.)

They do fight, Jessica, but she's mostly a kicker in a very broad she-fu style. High kicks, wire work, backflips.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
I love, Love, LOVE the "apocalypse by inches" theory. It makes so much sense (and sort of reflects Angel being the more adult of the two shows conceptually).
I thank you for the compliment - except is it really a theory? I'm pretty sure they said it outright.

Ah, gotcha. My layman's instincts tell me that that sort of thing is easier to make look good onscreen than punching. You don't need any weight behind a fake punch, but with a kick, just the weight of your leg should give you enough momentum to make it look halfway decent.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Though back when the show first started, AM's character was the only one who had any idea how to fight and even she stuck to the basics. Somewhere along the way they all suddenly learned how to fight Matrix-style. Not sure what the deal is these days as I stopped watching 1 or 2 seasons ago.
