Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A trope found mostly in literature, this is the description of a fight in excruciating medical detail — as the fight is going on. Often the case if narrated by a combatant capable of Awesomeness by Analysis. However, it can easily come off as simply annoying or unnecessary. Occasionally, it can be parodied. Compare Cuckoolander Commentator, with which the trope can share some traits. Examples: |

A common trope of stories aimed at the young male demographic, many super-powered kung-fu series make use of this extensively. Current prime offenders include such titles as Naruto and Bleach. Any given detail over the local form of magical kung-fu can take up entire chapters at a time. Coincidentally, this also helps to extend the life of the series with entire fight-explanation-chapters. | |

R. A. Salvatore's Drizzt books, set in Forgotten Realms, tend to do this. In his more recent books, he even does this with magic-using warlocks. | |

The History Channel's Dogfights not only spends a great deal of time recounting every detail of every battle, but also compares the strengths of opposing planes and shows how certain maneuvers are supposed to work. | |

A feature of Dwarf Fortress, where organ systems are modeled down to tissue layers, and all that gets taken into account and described in combat. Even a single attack can generate several lines of information. | |

In Cerebus the Aardvark, the Roach goes through a Frank Miller phase which allows Dave Sim to mock this trope. | |

In Charlie's Angels (2000), one of the Angels is captured by the Big Bad and tied to a chair. She manages to free her legs and then spends the next few seconds describing in detail how she's going to kick the Mooks' asses before "moonwalking out of there". The fight goes exactly as she described, except for the last part, because what she does can in no way be described as a moonwalk (doesn't matter if a Michael Jackson song is playing in the background). Bonus points for trying to burn the ropes tying her hands while talking to the mooks. Her lighter fails. "And, as my trusty zippo is not working, I'll do it with my hands tied". She does. |

In the fight scenes of both The Iliad and The Odyssey, Homer tells in excruciating detail things like where a spear or arrow entered the body of a victim, what vital organs it penetrates and bones it fractures, and where the point emerges on the other side. May be considered the Trope Maker. | |

In Person of Interest, the Machine is capable of generating such fight plans and transmitting them to its champions. We see it in action once in the fourth season finale. As Reese is currently tied up and lacking an ear piece, the Machine commandeers an old fax machine standing nearby. The baddies are understandably non-plussed and read the instructions out loud. | |

In the sequel, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, Holmes does this to an assassin who's hiding and preparing to kill Simza, using metaphors for preparing omelettes to describe how he's beating the piss out of his opponent, i.e. "break the eggs". Sim interrupts the fight a quarter of the way through with a thrown knife. At the climax of the film, Holmes and Moriarty do this with an entire brawl in their minds, figuring out who is going to win by simply analyzing each other. It's clear that Sherlock would lose because of his hobbling shoulder injury that Moriarty inflicted on him earlier... except, like the theft of Moriarty's war chest and simultaneous Surprise Checkmate he detailed earlier to his nemesis... it was all a bait for Moriarty's arrogance to occlude the Heroic Sacrifice that Holmes was really planning. | |

Lee Childs' hero Jack Reacher, as an ex-MP investigator with superhuman math skills, near-CSI investigative abilities and Hyper-Awareness, gets outright ridiculous with these sometimes. In Killing Floor, Reacher apparently mentally solves the geometry problem of whether or not he can turn on his firing arc to get the optimal angle to shoot the Big Bad before the Big Bad can get the angle needed to shoot him (all in a fraction of a second, of course) and describes it to the reader. | |
