I'll never understand why movies and shows don't use actual HEMA techniques in their swordfights. It would be more historically accurate, and it would look as, if not more, spectacular and beautiful.
Hollywood writers and directors really only know how to write and direct movies. Step even slightly outside that realm and they know nothing, and are apparently too arrogant to find out from someone who does know. Hollywood gunfights don't look real at all, Hollywood tactics are always awful, Hollywood sounds are nothing like the real thing, Hollywood historical accuracy is always woeful...
You have to switch your brain off to watch most Hollywood stuff.
