Smurfvatar


This smurf is a parody of Avatar, which really could use more parodies, since it was so ridiculous. And not the least because of it's archery. Well, this cartoon continues the tradition of mistakes:

1. I know it is artictic licence and this is a cartoon with a smurf(!) but the arrowtip is still way too large and heavy for the arrow to fly properly. The arrowshaft is too narrow and would snap instantly when the arrow would hit anything. So it really would be an arrow for one time use only, and for a target at most five meters away.

2. Doesn't matter how many (or few) fingers you have, it is wrong to hold the arrow between the fingers of your bowhand.

3. The bow (which looks very crude) loses potential energy when the string is not attached to the ends of the arc. There is no point of making the bow longer than it's nocks.

4. The draughtsman didn't know how to draw a proper grip with smurf hands. Maybe I could forgive that, but no, let's give it a mistake point instead.

5. No other arrows, since why would you need more if your only arrow will fly perhaps five meters and break after that?

6. Left handedness. Left-handedness is as rare in smurfs as in humans. Although in Avatar they also shot left handed, hmm...
