Literally a plot point in Dresden Files. MC is a wizard who lives in Chicago doing private eye work. Regularly carries a blasting rod (wand) and a revolver. One big wizard gets taken out by a sniper rifle fired by a demon. He has semi-regular backup from non magical friends who are just well armed.
A regular human mafioso who is just so good at being a conniving and ruthless piece of shit that he can hold his own with the magic folk is a recurring character. Your spells don't mean too much if four goons get the drop on you with a metal pipe when you weren't prepared.
What makes dresden files so good is that dresden knows this, and he abuses the hell out of that. Time and time again he gets the jump of his enemies because he thinks outside of the box like that haha.
And same for marcone, he knows that with the right bullets and tools, common items can hurt the supernatural. Its also what imo makes the supernatural in the series so real, they are extremely powerful, should be feared but all of them have a weakness. You just need to know it. And like dresden said so much, knowledge is power!
I like the scene when he gets accosted by some low skill mages who give the line "prepare to defend yourself, wizard" and he just pulls out his gun.
2 of the strongest sorcerer's in JJK school vs this guy and his gun lol
I do love when this happens. I could probably think of more examples if I took the time, but the first that immediately springs to mind is Buffy the Vampire Slayer pulling a rocket launcher on a vampire.
And rockets or their launchers aren't forged. They're assembled. 🤓
Every weapon is assebled, even the forged ones.
Ninja stars.
Check and mate.
That’s pretty much the plot of Mashle
Everyone is a magician, except for Mashle who just hits stuff really fucking hard. And most wizards aren’t used to getting hit by a dude who can bench press a house.
What are you talking about. Muscles are the most magical thing ever XD.
American magic.
i should rewatch wizards 1977
Just had the same thought. I don't think I've watched it since I was a kid and saw it in the theater. When I stumble on an old movie like this, I always like to check who was in it. It's fun to see who was in old stuff who really hit it big.
Wizards came out in February 1977. Three months before Star Wars: A New Hope came out. Mark Hamill actually voiced one of the fairies in Wizards! I'm kind of geeking out a little bit.
Wasn’t that supposed to be a big fight scene but Harrison Ford was sick? So they audibled to this?
That's the story anyways... That they repeated consistently throughout many, many interviews
Watching that clip he looks sick
~~*adlibbed~~
Audible is a term for changing from a designed play to a new one on the fly.
Oh, TIL.
If I understood that correctly, a game play, as a specific term for US Football. And gets that name by people screaming the new play.
Audible is something you can hear.
makes me think of the wizard with gun skit, makes me laugh every time
we got there in Worm early and often
