The actual answer is that everyone was juiced as frick in the 80s. They also expected you to work out until you at least looked like you could kick someone's ass.
Then Keaton batman came out and they realized you can just shoot around a 5 foot nothing manlet beating on men 100 lbs heavier and no one will complain.
Close. He has a masters degree but not a PhD. Still impressive. Meme is slightly off, but close enough (spent a year studying chemical engineering at Washington State but didn’t graduate there).
Do you think seeing muscular men turns someone gay? Anyone who's actually straight knows that not possible, makes you wonder why you think that can happen, huh.
No, it doesnt turn people gay. They're already gay to begin with and since that's "in" right now they put gymrats in movies to attract the gaydience. Like you!ah4gw
People used to go to see movies on the strength of the brand associated with an actor. “Let’s go see the new Schwarzenegger flick”. Now they go based on the strength of the brand itself “Let’s go see the new Marvel movie”. People fell in love with Iron Man not because they gave a shit about the character from the comics but because Favreau and RDJ brought him to life in a fresh, fun, and interesting way. Every subsequent MCU movie basically tries to recapture that lightning in a bottle
An witnesss the landscape it brought.
Looks like having an actor with star power who had all the interests in starring in good roles in good movies that suits his strenghts was always a powerful quality filter
M8 the 80s stars in the OP have all been in some awful movies. Even Arnie who generally picked his movies well had some serious stinkers. If anything they destroyed their own brands by having inconsistent quality and a general drop in overall quality in the 2000s.
Step aside 80 roid dinosaurs, a new junkie rises. Dave Bautista is another honorable mention from the MCU. You just chose the twinkiest modern manlets for the bottom panel and you know it.
In my country, many many years back, people took this clip and put some garbage gypsy music over it as if he was dancing to it. Years later he came to the country and unironically danced to those garbage gypsy songs as he got high and drunk and took was telling the gypsies "no social media" as they filmed him and put the videos up on facebook. The first instance of meme magick.
Superhero movies have them relying on their powers, which are fantastical and often use lots of CGI. Their own bodies aren't as important unless the character is like Drax or Thor and needs to look big and impressive. Compare that to 80s action heroes where they were martial artists or soldiers.
Before the 1990's, the idea that experience, wisdom and power were the defining traits of what a man was suppossed to be. In reality this waa mostly a projection of what men wanted to be but rarely actually displayed in real life.
What companies and advertisers then figured out is that while experience, power and wisdom were things that people wanted, ultimately what ended up getting more momey was advertising to the youth. The youth also want to be wise, be powerful, but they didn't want to be experienced, they couldn't be. The ideal man of modern society shifted away from experience into a youthful spirit. A man who knows and has everything without needing to experience it firsthand. Which meant that muscles and super machismo didn't correspond to wisdom or power, but only corresponded to expeirence.
Essentially the youth are victims of massive advertisement and corporate ploys to squeeze every ounce of money out of their parents and their own selves, and it worked and it continues to work to this day.
The ideal man in the eyes of scoiety is not an experienced man, but a youthful one.
To add onto this, experience isn't a universal trait that advertisers can rely on. But youth is a universal trait that everyone has. The more universal the trait the more that advertiser and corporations can sell you products
Simple, you cherry pick examples to push a false narrative to trick gullible anons into believing your bullshit by spamming these threads every other week.
None if those are action stars.
They're guys on green screen.
Jason Statham is a real action star who can do martial arts, his own stunts, and is actually in shape.
>Implying Superhero films count action films
Keanu Reeves is basically zoomed Chuck Norris. Really zoomers like normal looking dudes who are unassuming but can go ape when the time is required and buff operator looking guys like Ben Affleck and Chris Hemsworth.
zoomers aren't as obsessed with staring at sweaty buff men as gays in the 80s
When I see a buff dude, I don't want to frick him.
I want to become like him.
>I want to be cum in him.
sounds pretty gay dude
No need to quote yourself anon.
obsessed
FPBP
lol 80s gays rekt.

Keaton was short but he worked out and prepared a lot for that role. More than most Batman actors if I recall correctly.
fpbp
boomers are closeted homosexuals
Current Hemsworth mogs all those homosexuals. More jacked than Dolph and taller than the rest of those midgets. Also the Rock.
Dolph was actually a skilled martial artist though on top of being large with muscles, which makes him cooler
Didn't he also have a PhD
Close. He has a masters degree but not a PhD. Still impressive. Meme is slightly off, but close enough (spent a year studying chemical engineering at Washington State but didn’t graduate there).
>karate
Cringe and gay. Hemsworth would heem him guaranteed
That's cool, didn't know Hemsworth was into boxing. But it's not as impressive as actually winning tournaments like Dolph.
Even old Dolph could heem Hemsworth tbh
Nice video of Dolph getting his ass handed to him I guess lol
Better than no videos of Hemsworth fighting
>Zoomer doesn't know who Oleg Taktarov is
>implying some dude who was in a bad Predator movie in 2010 is some sort of millennial icon
A pity there isn't an ounce of masculinity in his roles
Sorry that women like funny guys, chudcel
name a watchable movie with the rock since the scorpion king? he peaked in wwf.
Fast 5
Prime Dolph mogs Hemsworth so hard it's not even funny. Heightmog, physiquemog, facemog, framemog, martial artsmog.
Being like 2 inches taller than prime arnold isn't going to save you from being mogged lmao.
No wonder so many millennial men are gay

For a true homosexual patrician, smell > looks
well this guy's definitely not in denial
>Muscular men turns people gay
What absolute homosexual thinking.

Are you gay for buff men?
You may not like it anon, but this is peak masculinity
Why would anyone not like doing coke and banging prostitutes two at a time
Belgians?
But what about that time you got a boner Jean Claude?

Shirts aren't a luxury anymore
The israeli war against masculinity.
WHAT THE FRICK, BUT /misc/cels TOLD ME EXPECTATIONS FOR MENS BODIES IN HOLLYWOOD THESE DAYS IS UNREALISTIC
BUT NOW YOU ARE TELLING ME WE ACTUALLY HAVE LESS BUFF MEN IN FILMS??????
HELP I DONT KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE SOMEONE HELP ME
/misc/ literally never said that you troony
Women like twinks though??
Cherrypicking. Actors are more juiced than ever, even in roles that didn't require a lot of action
Maybe, but action movies generally aren't as cool now

Twinks and daddys are on fashion now. The age of the buff guy is over
More like the age of manly men (and feminine women) is over. And it shows
Tom Holland has a nice ripped body. Also you forgot Hemsworth and Evans
1, Cumberbatch and Ruffalo aren't action heroes
2, they left out captain america and thor
3, they left out shirtless tom holland
But Hulk is fricking buff.
None if those are action stars.
