How Not To Do An Action Scene #24

---

Contributed by Keith McDonald.

Keith says: what's wrong with this scene? Well for one thing the hero seems to
be able to suddenly muster up enough strength to vanquish his foe despite
obviously getting the crap beaten out of him before as we see in the 1st
panel. This is an overused cliche, whereby the hero somehow regains all his
power just by thinking about "who he's fighting for." Blech. The dialogue is
very cliche as well with all the "You were a fool to challenge me!" and
"It's not over" crap.
