WTF?

[-] Tonuka@feddit.org 5 points 2 months ago

sorry if this is how you found out an anti-war movie had several pro-war sequels lol

It is. That does seem on brand for movie execs though. Glad I went this long without knowing about them.

First Blood: War is horrible. War destroys people's minds, bodies, and souls. War spawns never-ending cycles of trauma and violence. Don't do war.

Rambo 3: probably split because it's about killing Russians, but also aiding tErRoRiStS and watching it in modern times completely misses the point that this is kiiinda what lead to bin Laden

I recall Rambo (2008) leaving me with a strong sense that war and fighting was horrible, by design (not only because i am a big softie).

I recently watched both for the first time and they were horrible. But why would they like the hippie homeless vet killing cops story in rambo 2?

Edit: I was thinking of rambo 1. Rambo 2 he rescues hostages he was supposed to ignore. I forget the rest I think I was too hugh
