This looks like brainrot, just from a different era.
Gen X brain rot. But also, based.
I love that film for many many reasons, but the incel vibes are thick.
have you read the book? while visually appealing, the movie did not do the book’s content justice.
major theme is destroying the traditional definition of manliness pushed on us by society… fighting ourselves to become our own boss/master in order to create our own definition of manhood.
I did read the book. In fact, both the film and the book are some of my all time favourites.
The book hits differently, also because the written medium anchors it more closely to the narrators perspective. Also, it’s pretty clear in both works that it’s not meant as an endorsement.
Still, there’s a lot of that typical unspecified Gen X resentment left and it really squicks me out.
You aren’t wrong.
Wait, Sgt. Slaughter the Robot Wars house robot?
The GI Joe character. Definitely not the wrestler.
Slaughter the wrestler is literally Slaughter from GI Joe, though.
