Most of the movies rated by the blacksmith below are around 1 to 4 in terms of their realism. Only one movie, "Iron Man," gets a 7. "Avengers: Infinity War" gets a 6, and so does "Return of the King" despite many implausibilities; meanwhile, "Rambo" (fourth in the series) gets a flat 1 for its ridiculousness. The blacksmith goes over a problem that Charles had pointed out a while back: the scene in "Infinity War" where Stormbreaker, the axe/hammer, is forged: Charles noted that you can't simply join two flat surfaces together (in this case, the axe and the hammer) and expect the heat simply to make the metal stick. The blacksmith notes that there is a such thing as "butt welding," but it wouldn't have worked in Stormbreaker's case.
