my estimation of the 80s popular stars goes down each year for never passing the mantle on to other men. selfishness is not a recipe for a kino industry.
Feels like a boomer thing. They just can't let go
You deserve no inheritance if you're a failure
It's not that they can't let go of profitable IPs - it's that these israelites (sly is a israelite) refuse to die (all boomers are like golem, israelites in spirit).
what other men?
they just need to stop being in so many vehicles for themselves and the other men would become known enough to get the next major gig. If Paul Newman was too afraid to be in a movie with whittaker and tom cruise he wouldn't be a great and neither the others. The current crop of legacy stars didn't pay it forward.
>and the other men would become known enough to get the next major gig
Like who?
To be fair, plenty of up-and-coming action stars have been cast in the Expendables movies
That would have had their own action movie in times gone by. No point lamenting the situation, we get our first 100 year old action star while most young men can't even play pretend action in school without being expelled.
Stallone is hardly to blame for that, though
What were they supposed to do, have an official ceremony where they handed over a belt or something? You don't pass down being an action star like some kind of hereditary title.
The fact that Arnold and Stallone still haven't been surpassed is indicative of a weak crop of stars and studios being mostly incompetent. They're not standing in anyone's way.
if they were based they would go behind the camera and actually hunt and cast for younger guys.
Clint Eastwood didn’t hunt for Arnold or Stallone. You are giving typical millenial/zoomer ”it’s other people’s fault they didn’t rise me right!” excuses for not working hard and having discipline.
The Rundown is kino and The Rock's best performance, too bad his current movies all suck
>for never passing the mantle on to other men
What other men?
I just looked up actors between 30-39yo, and non of those Black folk do their own stuns or can run in camera or have a decent action movie with lead
Passing the mantle to who, Chalamet? Hunter Schafer? Tessa Thompson?
>hey boomer, you spent your life building this bankable brand, now it's time to hand it off to an ungrateful chinless Black
it just means they were failures, they failed to inspire anyone to follow in their footsteps and doomed us to watch gramps and post-wall tramps, I don't thank them for that.
Great description of the entire baby boomer and gen X generations
>hey, homosexual, do you want to make a lot of money? just one more movie
>nah, i don't wanna these fat checks, call Tom Holland instead, he looks very manly
This unironically killed the pro wrestling business.
Pro wrestling still makes billions
no that was crispen wah
Gerontocracy is a real thing
you will see clint eastwood playing dirty harry when he's 100.
>passing the mantle on to other men
You have to earn it. None of you younggays have the masculinity to carry an action film. No wonder Hollyweird keeps trying to make women into action heroes.
Tell me, who among Gen Z and Millennial men are capable of being an action movie star?
Me
the problem is that CGI and plastic surgery are extending the careers of male actors by 20+ years
but studios still prefer young unbogged females lol
I read he was hardly in the movie?
So did I, he's at the beginning and the very end from what I've heard
He's barely in it, because he's planning for Statham to take over. Which is literally what
is seething about him allegedly not doing.
He died in the first 30 minutes. The movie was so low budget and bad acting I left before it was finished.
He should've went with roles more drama oriented, like in Creed
What went wrong?
>What went wrong?
That we didn't get the original 2 hour version.
>What went wrong?
He forgot to microwave the frozen pizza before eating it
stallone very likely thinks tulsa king is some great gangster show, i think hes kinda completely disconnected from reality by now.
Nobody wants to be an action star these days, that's the problem
Jumanji, Boat Ride or whatever it was called...
None of them is The Rundown, which is the kinoest Rock-In-The-Jungle movie.
I assume one of them is that one about the monkey from a video game
Rampage, yeah. Forgot that one. The two on the left are probably Jumanji 1 & 2, which is sort of cheating.
top right is rampage and i think one of them is journey to the center of the earth
Expendables is literally a joke premise, it should have a short film at most not 4 fricking movies
The first one was absolutely kino.
No, the one where they made arnold and jet li homos was the best one.
that was the third film, and it was horrible.
One and two were good, three sucked because Sly got rid of everybody and forced us to watch uggo mcugly ufc womaniforgothername.
I just want Tulsa King season 2.
i actually went and saw this in the theater, it was basically a shitty low budget netflix action movie.
expendables only works when you have enough old action stars. zoomers aren't watching this shit and nobody my age wants to see megan fox or that chick with the whip or fake antonio banderas. 3 started this bad trend but at least there was mel, wesley snipes, and banderas.
statham is alright though, i think he's really the only true "modern" action star
onions bullshit
>just turn your brain off chud, it was le fun!
Expendables
>ugh so stupid, this movie didn't need to be made
Why no Nicolas Cage? Why no Jackie Chan? They've both made the same movie just by themselves. Stallone already said that the Expendables movies only purpose was to hand out checks to aging action stars so why not them? Cage has done worse for less money for fricks sakes.
Read Jackie didn't want to do it
Why is he always wearing those stupid hats? You look STUPID Stallone!
>the sequel is stupid
Then it's certified 80s tribute kino
What if the entire cast was black?
You get kino, that's fricking what.
>Indistinguishable from I'm Gonna Git You Sucka
>Sly looking into a mirror with squinted eyes
>throws a pack of mint benjamines into his reflection
>'you work for me now'
he wasnt supposed to be in it. they rewrote it and you can tell from how the scenes are cut and paste together and he doesnt appear with certain people, "dies" in opening scenes, etc.
More believable than a dude pretending to be a woman
>gaygoy onions libshit critic: "ummmm this did not need to have a sequel.."
>the movie: "you want to watch action stars brutally murder more minorities?"
All the flicks in this franchise are shitty. He had good intentions putting great names together, but... it is shitty the way he did.
