    Do you remember the days when we used to publish 1 video a day? Then we went to the occasional 2. Then every day we published 2. A couple of months we made weekends into a real WatchMojo Marathon Binge Sesh with 3 videos per day... well, if you didn't notice, as of April 1 we started to publish 3 videos every day, including weekdays! How soon before we go to 4? ;) Enjoy the weekend, loads of great clips on deck for you, with:
    - Top 10 Movie Portrayals of Real Life Gangsters
    - Top 10 Saddest Deaths in Video Games
    - Top 10 Elvis Presley Songs

      Do you remember when your 'Top Ten' videos used to actually have substance? When they were written with some semblance of competence with an actual understanding of the subject matter? When they were actually researched instead of plopped out as quickly as possible with *glaring factual errors?* (Top Ten Notes: Lord of the Rings, I'm looking at you. Not that this one's any better. How long was William Wallace's sword said to be again? You sure about that?) No? Me neither. Enjoy your ad revenue, you've certainly 'earned' it.

    • @BeeWhistler
      @BeeWhistler Před 7 lety +21

      Absolutely the most important sword in the books, but I guess under their criteria Sting is the stand out. As far as the movies go, Anduril was as played down as Aragorn himself. It's hard to have the full significance of the sword that was his birthright when they acted like Aragorn didn't want to be a king. Sigh.

    • @casperko8311
      @casperko8311 Před 7 lety +4

    RE: Lightsabers. You guys know we're very anal about the criteria. But, we balance that with giving the audience what they wanna see when they see the title in their feed. Truth be told, we debated that one forever but felt that the masses would wanna see it, whereas the hard core purists (that's a compliment, btw ;) would raise their eyebrows. We don't pander, but we do like to delight, basically.

Anikin/Luke's light saber was very important in the Starwars series, even if they all look alike.Its unexpected, but its an alright choice.

    • @jessesanchez9187
      @jessesanchez9187 Před 5 lety +2

      One thing to note about the Sword of Griffindor, this magical blade takes in things that will make it stronger. It was magically enchanted when it was first forged, and it will continue to get stronger. IE by absorbing basilisk venom in Chamber of Secrets.

    • @bruh-hh3kk
      @bruh-hh3kk Před 5 lety +1

      ^ Yea. Don't forget that The Sword of GrYffindor vanishes completely after Griphook had it. Griphook never really had ownership of it. Just because the Goblins believe that all goblin-made silver belongs to them, that doesn't make it true. The sword belongs to Hogwarts and the Gryffindors.
      Just a reminder: It can destroy Horcruxes.

    • @ScreentimeNOR
      @ScreentimeNOR Před 6 lety +3

      Yes, it deserves a spot.
      However, the sword is not special for any other reason that it is a reforged from Narsil. It was the bloodline of Isildur that granted Aragorn the ability to fulfil the cursed dead's oaths.

    • @dukedarkwood2098
      @dukedarkwood2098 Před 5 lety +3

      I agree with them that Sting is the more iconic of them. Anduril, the Flame of the West, reforged from the shattered Narsil, is a magnificent weapon in its own right, but more than Anduril, more than Orcrist, more than Glamdring, the best-known blade in Tolkien's legendarium is Sting. (The coolest is Anglachel. IMHO.)

  • @kryssullivan4455

    Excalibur should've been #1. It is THE most famous sword in film and literature, so much so that even other fictional works have been inspired by it, some even going so far as to steal its name.
    Conan's sword should've at least been in the top 3.
    And I can't believe Zorro's didn't make the list.
    Also, the Lightsaber shouldn't have been mentioned in this at all. Sure it's a badass weapon, but it can't be classified as a sword since it doesn't have a blade.
    And why is it called a "saber?" Sabers are curved. Lightsabers are straight beams of plasma.

    • @nosrin1988
      @nosrin1988 Před 9 lety +2

      agreed. Excalibur is THE legendary sword. No other is known so well! I'm just glad that movie got the hilt right. I've seen so many wrong versions of the sword. Ie the most iconic part being the circle at the end of the handle. That's a major part of it's symbolism.

Arthur's sword from Monty Python and the Holy Grail (though I'll understand if it's not entirely worthy of prestige, still, honorable mention) (5. Sword of Maximus from Gladiator (6.

      You can't have a swordsman without a sword, and -- with the exceptions of the Green Destiny & Excalibur (possibly Sting as well) -- there is nothing special about any of the swords on this list except that they are wielded by truly exceptional swordsmen.

      Taxtro Thanks for asking, I lived in Japan for 1 year where I practiced Iaido & Tameshigiri, i.e. the form & the actual cutting. We used real hand-made (and sharp) swords for cutting & our targets were bundled Tatami mats. That was abot 10 years ago. During that time I practiced cutting twice per week. My sword is a non-sharp Iaido sword that i bought on my last week in Japan & took home (cause the sharp ones were too expensive). I continued practicing Iaido for about 2 years but then stopped cause I got too busy with work.
      I started practicing again some weeks ago & feel how it's coming back slowly. Even if I don't have targets to cut, practicing only the moves is already good training. And very relaxing.
