... that the creators of the cartoon Jade Armor hired Wushu martial artists to film stunts, on which they based the show's animated action sequences?

@BuySomeApples: New enough and long enough. QPQ present. Minor rewording of hook done to avoid ending on a preposition. Issues identified: Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:26, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- The Crimson Lord as a character is uncited.
- The Señal News piece does not claim the martial artists were Wushu, only the stunt coordinator. These scenes were choreographed by Kung Fu stunt artists, all former French Kung Futeam members. This creates problems for the hook and the article text.
- Nor is it claimed by either article that the stunts are the same ones used later. WP:SYNTH issue.

@Sammi Brie: You're right! I think I got carried away.

Added a ref for the Crimson Lord.

I edited the article to state that the stunts were performed by French Kung Fu artists and that the stunt coordinator was a Wushu martial artist. I don't know that much about martial arts and the Wushu and Kung fu pages are not clearing up the distinction/overlap to me, so it's probably good to stick to the source.

I changed the wording around the filmed stunts to just paraphrase what Miller said, which is that the storyboard artist's had to use their imagination when working off of the filmed stunts because the show's action is meant to be larger than life.

Does this althook work? BuySomeApples (talk) 00:26, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fine with this. The article issues have been resolved, too. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:15, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
