You can be as prepared to get punched in the face as you want the act of getting punched in the face is still gonna sting regardless. It the same principle here he’s allowed to feel something at being slighted as long as he remembers his goals and focuses on that
People unironically force chrome onto kids to stunt their growth in cyberpunk so they they stay looking young for client. A lot of the moxxes went through that before rallied into a gang. Rebbecca might’ve even been such a case considering her stature and ties to the mox
Boils down to everybody preparing and expecting a napolonic war instead of a modern one. Britain also was the most prepared for fighting in 1914 because of their participation in the Crimean war years prior showed them that targeting logistics is the key to winning modern wars hence their early blockades to break German away from its African and Asian colonies and resources. Nobody was prepared for a long slag of a war so long term global logistics lines weren’t on most people’s mind outside of the British and I believe Germany used already trained conscripst and volunteers until they passed the auxiliary service act in 1916 after the battle of verdun and bleed both France and Germany dry
Yup long lifespan, simple to fix and reliable in all weather outside of being a little too long for trenches which in 1914 pretty much every rifle was as most war doctrine from pre ww1 called for long guns with long bayonets to out reach the enemy in close quarters
I mean most period pieces are dramatizations of said historical event or period. Movies use hyperbole to intrigue the audience and women king is no different. If you were looking for true documentary on the agojie warriors the creators of woman king actually created a companion documentary that released with the movie called warrior women with lupita nyongo, who is one of the staring actresses in the movie where she goes on an hour deep dive into the true history of the agojie and the kingdom of Dahomey. Once again great watch for anthropology/history lovers definitely recommend
They would even go as far as purposely carving each other up with facial scars in certain fencing clubs as they were seen by many at the time as a symbol of prestige
Yeah that and they were in a even bigger equipment deficit than the ussr was in ww2 made it the best place to be for a German soldier outside of probably the Balkans to be on in ww1
There is literally only 2 people in existence that can use a open domain so still not that bad in my opinion

This comment is unnecessarily funny to me lol
