That's not the issue.

The problem with this type of shitshow is it's grounded to reality, and it wants to be taken seriously.


Usually they employ some type of heavy drama (sick / preggo wife, young kids, elderly, poor citizen etc)
some sort of conflict (triads, foreign nation army / war brewing etc)
which would lead to dire consequences should our Hero fails (everyone will be killed yada yada must not lose to bad guy)

I've said this before and went apeshit ranting it here, and I'll do it again.

Ip Man series is awful, why?
Because while it's going for realism and drama, it's also filled with so much unrealistic animay bullshit.
It wants to be taken seriously but at the same time the characters are doing impossible stunts nonchalantly.

It's like watching Pierce Brosnan's Bond series, they're so fucking awful.
You could tie up one of his arm and blindfold one of his eyes, and he'd still pull off 2kool4skool animay bullshit, nonchalantly.

It's like watching a generic shonen animay weebtrash. Filled with cringey, self-indulgent moments.
