why during cutscene its always like this ... (small spoiler)

[Averax]

This is a fantasy game, and we have people that have successfully blocked giant weapons with tiny daggers, not to mention these are magical weapons/items to begin with. I fail to see how you can't suspend disbelief on something like that.

Well if we're using the "Well it's a FANTASY" excuse then i want to ride into all my cutscenes on a flying purple hippo because it's a fantasy and there's no reason i shouldn't be able to. Just like there's apparently no reason a dusty old book or a tool used for mapping the stars wouldn't hold up against a greataxe.
