Who's read every post in this thread? Chocolate is one of the movies that comes to mind of a chick beating up tons of dudes obviously.
Nadine is obviously more trained than just taking a standard training class. She's from Africa, which has more fighting the most western (aka white) countries, it literally makes more logical sense that she's black instead of white. Her father ran the paramilitary organization she took over. It's not hard to infer that her main interest growing up was guns and fighting like why sons of baseball players become baseball players themselves. She has way more setup than many characters that do the exact same things she does in the game and it's not questioned. Again, Maggie Q in Die Hard 4 is just cuz she's Asian, she has literally no back story in the movie. Speaking of Die Hard, John McClane only fights 2 people (across 4 movies as I never saw the last one) that are greatly skilled in hand-to-hand combat and he loses both fights. Most people, even in the military, are not very skilled in hand-to-hand combat.
Yeah, Drake beating Lazarevic in a fair fight wouldn't happen because at best, Drake and him are probably at best equally skilled with Lazarevic being much stronger. You don't see the hero beating the big thug in a fair fight in pretty much any movie (like the Indiana Jones scene) but you know what you do see? Smaller and much more skilled characters beating the shit out of other characters. It's the basic rules of RPGs as well. High strength (thug) or high dex (skill) beats the average character.
