How To Fall From A Height And Land Like A Bit Of A Tit, By The Movies

Here's hammer-wielding god of thunder "John" Thor in a poster for his film:

He's trying, bless him, but he hasn't quite mastered the art of falling from a height and landing like a bit of a tit, one of Hollywood's favourite go-to stances for action types. But how does he compare to some of the previous exponents of this peculiar trend? Let's take a half-hearted look! 

Toad, X-Men

Toad hasn't quite got the correct angle of elevation on the extended left arm that would become a signature element of falling from a height and landing like a bit of a tit, but he makes up for it with an unconvincing CGI tongue. 6/10.

Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2

Spidey's rocking an impressive stance here: just look

how straight that left arm is. Although with his legs

spread like that I bet that's not the only rip in his suit.

7/10.

Matthew Patel, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

Oh, I say. That's textbook. Though I'll have to

deduct a point for the lack of eye contact.

9/10.

Baby Doll, Sucker Punch

An interesting attempt to triplicate the stance here: sadly the other two aren't trying hard enough. Also it's by far the worst film of the lot.

3/10.

I'm sure there must be more of these, but you try Googling "film characters landing from a height with left leg bent, right leg out at 90 degrees, right hand on the floor and left arm outstretched like a ponce" and see what you get. Chances are you'll get this blog post.
