Me, whenever I see a character follow their arch-enemy up to a high point (ledge, bridge, catwalk, etc). to continue the fight: "um, okay, that's really stupid, why don't you stay on the ground where it's nice and safe and throw heavy things at them until you knock them off?"

The gods favor the side with the high ground?

[beatrice_otter]

I would still rather be on the ground throwing things than swordfighting/kickboxing/whatever on a narrow bridge over a chasm.

[alexseanchai]

Valid point!

Especially when one side has magic powers and can throw very large things.

[beatrice_otter]

Even if the one with the magic powers is the one up top! I would still rather be on the ground throwing things than swordfighting/kickboxing/whatever on a narrow bridge over a chasm.

Heh. I hear you.

Either a)it's the cliff-hanger, we know how to do it this way b)if it's good enough for Sherlock Holmes... c)isn't a a demonstration of b?

You might enjoy a wonderful internet list that made the rounds a while back -- the name was something like "Top 100 Things I Would Do If I Were An Evil Overlord."

The catwalk thing was definitely on the list.

Oh, I remember that one fondly.
