Cutting rope with an Axe makes no sense

Axe is designed to have a heavy blade, so when it hits something solid, it has a devastating impact. This is why it's good for cutting wood and such. I am sure it could even cut some kind of rope if the rope is placed tightly on a level, solid surface, but it would probably take a few hits before it's completely cut.

For something like rope, the scissors would've been much better choice (even though THOSE scissors looked absolutely dull and ineffective).

There are so many things about this rope-cutting scene that make no sense, I am not sure if one post will even be enough to cover them all, but I want to try.

1) The physics of a 'swing against rope in the air'.

It doesn't seem possible to cut any kind of rope or even cable with an AXE of all things (perhaps super sharp katana), with only ONE SWING, when there's nothing to hold the rope in place. The physics would dictate that when the blade hits the (multi-layered, if I am not mistaken) rope, the rope, not being really held in place by anything, would GIVE IN, and BEND to the direction the blade would now be pushing it towards, and NOT be cut. Try punching a rubber band and see if it lets your fits go through or if it gives in.

To effectively cut anything stronger than ice cream with an axe, by swinging at it once, there would need to be kind of solid surface behind that 'anything' so it gets resistance from the other end and kind of has to let the blade push it until it cuts. If you think of a guillotine, the neck is locked firmly before the blade falls down.

2) The impossibility of holding the rope without your hand getting cut off

How, exactly, does Ginger perform this multi-level miracle maneuver? She not only has to 'realistically' hide her head with perfect timing, but also hold the rope with both hands at separate points that exist on both sides of the cut (so she also has to perfectly know and estimate where the cut is going to be).. and also somehow hide the fact that she's holding the rope.

I mean, how do you HIDE the hand that's holding the rope, when it's absolutely required that the hand is on the OTHER side of the cut, where it can only be, if the axe cuts the rope in the middle, and since the villain is looking where she's swinging, she would definitely SEE where the axe is at all times, thus seeing where it cuts, and where Ginger's hands (wings?) are.

How does she first put her hands in the perfect place, THEN magically hide the hands AND pull up the rope immediately after the cut (even though the villain doesn't seem to move), while also making sure her hand holds the rope SO weirdly that it doesn't get cut/injured by the wild Axe swing...

I mean, when you consider all that happens in that split-second, it seems pretty gosh darned impossible, not to mention impractical. Why would Ginger opt to do ALL THAT, when it would be simpler to just duck, and let the rope be cut and hope it doesn't hit her body, and that's that.

Why would the villain aim for the neck instead of just her body anyway, I mean, it's an AXE, and there's no 'chopping block', so the swing might not even kill her even if it hits the neck..?

Movies just HAVE to be 'dramatic' instead of making sense, don't they? Sigh.

3) A chicken using her wing to hold a rope that holds a fully-grown adult human being and an axe, while the velocity of the 'crate' and rope add to the resistance, plus whatever the wind resistance adds.

A CHICKEN. WITH ONE HAND/WING.

I mean, WHAT the fjordenstein? HOW much of a suspension do I have to buy to keep the disbelief in check? I can't fathom how even a toddler would buy this scene!

I don't mind time-traveling DeLoreans or near-omnipotent supervillains that can fly, but a CHICKEN holding all that with ONE WING (she isn't supposed to even have actual fingers, she's a CHICKEN!!)...

Chickens can't fly, because they're too heavy. But they can HOLD A ROPE with those same wings, that is attached to an adult human being with an axe?!

How much heavier would that be??

I mean, there's more, but I am too tired.. I can't take this anymore.. please, someone, make a movie that makes sense, please!
