Why isn't he as loved as Arnold?
>>
>>66783059
He was in shit films.
>>
He's not Arnold, that's why.

Arnold is a cocky businessman, Stallone is a passionate artist. Their motivations were different. They're both smarter than their public image suggests, too.
>>
>>66783076
So was Arnold.
>>
>>66783059

Pretty sure he is. And after all these years and the rivalry they're best buds

They're lovers.

It's not a jab at Arnold. He is both confident and financially successful, and it's part of why people admire him.
>>
>>66783148
That's fucking adorable. Kind of like when my grandpa would take me with him to those truckstop bathrooms and compliment the guy's cumshot through the gloryhole.
>>
>>66783059
Who says he isn't?
The entire world knows who Rambo and Rocky are.
In fact you can even find Rambo in the dictionary.
>>
>>66783059
People were legitimately pissed off that Stallone didn't win the Oscar he was nominated for last week.

Schwarzenegger is currently doing shitty advertising for iPhone games.

Arnold's glory days began in the 80s and ended in the 90s whereas Stallone has had more career comebacks than any other actor I can think of.

I think he's doing fine OP
>>
>>66783362

That's oddly specific.

That's what people used to do before everyone started using Tweetbook and Myface.

He doesn't have the energy.

Arnold was in bigger flicks while Stallone was in better flicks.

Overrated as fuck. It has like 10 minutes of so bad it's funny action flick and 80 minutes it's just bad.

WHERE ARE THOSE TV CAMERAS MAN?!

Arnold's charisma meant he was watchable in pretty much anything and he had a wider range of films. Rocky and First Blood are great but Arnold had Conan, Terminator, T2, Predator, Total Recall, Commando. Even his weaker films are watchable purely due to Arnold being Arnold. Stallone's aged better physically though and he was always more sympathetic than Arnold. It's easy to love old Rocky because Rocky's a likable oaf with a heart of gold. Old Arnold trying to be 80s Arnold is just kind of shit.

I just want to see an old Conan film.

>>66783768

You're a disease

No one admires him except for /fit/ fanboys cause he used a lot of roids back in the day.

Going from the son of an Austrian police chief to the GOAT bodybuilder, a massive star in Hollywood and then a governor is pretty admirable, regardless of his character.

PG-13, directed by Literally Who.
>>
>>66783818
Yeah, and you complimented the other guy in person. Not like now where it's all impersonal and constricted to 140 characters.
>>
>>66783857

I know it'll be shit. I should say I want to see a good Old Conan film. After Genisys I should just let it die.
>>
Stallone is a short Italian man passionate about film.
Arnold was a physically imposing man passionate about people, entertaining, and being in the spotlight.
Arnold's career was spent trying to make people love him, Stallone's was spent trying to make something worthwhile.
I like them both, but I like Arnold better, even if I don't like his movies better.

I really think he is already 10-15 years too old even for "old" Conan.
Just look at him. With all the horse roids abuse in his early years the devil finally took his part of the deal and then some.
>>
>>66784137
>And then some

He's almost 70 for Christs sake. He doesn't look older than he is or particularly bad.
>>
>>66784224
I wasn't refering to his looks in particular. If you make a deal with the devil he won't just take your looks, silly.
>>
>>66784269
Sure his wife took some from him but I wouldn't really call her the devil. I mean he DID fuck someone else.

Here's a comprehensive list of good Stallone movies made after 1999:
- Rambo
>>
>>66783273
no
>>
>>66784389
Rambo was shit.

Rocky Balboa was actually good though and it's easily the only good Rocky movie after the first one.
>>
>>66784439
Infinitely better than John Wick and other recent action mediocrities.
>>
>>66784502
>Infinitely better than John Wick

Go fuck yourself.
>>
>>66784439
Imma let you finish but rocky 4 had the greatest training montage of all time.
>>
>>66784533
John Wick is one good action scene wrapped in a shitty flick. Rambo is 5+ good action scenes wrapped in an average movie.
>>
>>66783802
Arnold is the fucking man you faggot 00s manchild.
>>
>>66784533
Grow up, Redditor. I bet you think shit like The Raid 2 is the best action movie of all time.

Posting best Sly moment ever.

>>66783059
People are retarded.

Arnold isn't even a cool bro, he was an asshole and a stoner.

Sly is already better because of Rocky.
>>
>>66783059

Pretty simple. Arnie had better movies.

Congratulations on that hot shit taste you faggot. Your sexy opinions sure swayed me.

Don't pretend John Wick is any more tasteful than Sin City. Like it all you want, but don't act like you have great taste.
>>
>>66784669
what a bro

Also I dont agree with you on Arnold not being cool, he seems like an awesome guy
>>
>>66783802
Mate he was young in the golden age of bodybuilding.

Know why it was called the golden age of bodybulding? Because EVERYONE did roids back then. With varying success. He managed to figure out how to get bigger than the average roidmaster, which involves a lot of knowledge about the human body and a lot of fucking dedication to it.

So yeah no shit /fit/ admires him. He's a pioneer.
>>
>>66784671
Cobra, Creed, Rocky I, Rocky III, Rambo I, John Rambo and Demolition Man are factually better than all Arnold movies, though. Except Last Action Hero, maybe.
>>
>>66784756
Everyone is on way more steroids now. That was when steroids began to become the standard requirement for high level competitive bodybuilding. The physiques of Mr. Olympia and Mr. Universe from the seventies are achievable today by many more people because of advancements in drugs, but unfortunately modern body building has become more of a mass competition than a contest of proportion and sculpture. That's the real reason it was known as the Golden age of bodybuilding, it has to do with the combination of these beautiful, perfectly proportioned physiques along with impressive mass.
>>
>>66784582
It did. Rocky III and IV are watchable and enjoyable as silly 80s flicks, they're just not actually good.
>>
>>66783059
Sly is a fucking beast, i can confidently say that i admire him as a man, dudes inspiring irl, some of the greatest inspirational moments and lines on film have been with sly, the kind of shit that makes you cheer and root for him.
Arnold is a guy that always portrays some sort of superiority, either playing a fucking robot or a beefed up man with machine guns as fingers.

Stallone is the eternal humble underdog that beats the odds and overcomes
Arnold is the rich guy with a sense of superiority

Sly is the man
>>
>>66784827
They're great movies.

Often a movie is only as great as its music and III and especially IV have incredible licenced OSTs.

He could have had an Oscar in at least 2 movies :
Copland
Creed

>>
>>66784824
>Everyone is on way more steroids now.
Actors, yes. I'm talking about everyone as in EVERYONE because in the golden age of bodybuilding, roids were rather legal. As they were rather new.

Which obviously meant everyone could give bodybuilding a shot and only the best at what they do made it big. Nowadays it's just the people with the best doctor
>>
>>66785058
Why the hell are people even praising the role in Creed? It was literally the same role as in Rocky Balboa but a ton worse.

>>66785089
I was talking about bodybuilders, not actors, but that's true too. And yeah, you're absolutely right, that's what made it the Golden age, was that with steroids being new, the old style of bodybuilding, with proportion being king, combined with the mass that comes from steroids made them look amazing. These days, it's all about mass and it looks pretty shit. I'm a huge fan of Arnold's physique, Columbu's, Zane's, and while I appreciate the work Kai Greene and Phil Heath and their ilk put in, I just hate the way they look.

stallone does adverts for bread here in britain

It's not even good bread.
>>
Sly really showed his acting chops in F.I.S.T. which is a pretty good movie. I think the name drives people off, you expect a film about punching not union disputes.
>>
>>66786133

it's still impressive, it'd be like if you moved to austria and got a political position.

not sure where the naturalized citizen thing is coming from though, i figured that was a given

Shut the fuck up you gnome.
Ahnuld went from a kraut bodybuilder who swam across the ocean to America to become a movie star.
Despite having a slightly retarded face, an atrocious accent he made it to the fucking top. Not only that, he was a millionare before entrepreneur before he lumbered his way into our harts fighting a man in a bear costume as Hercules.. Which i am sure is still a name he cant pronounce, as is California, but he was still elected go governate that state.

Schwarzenegger is one of the most impressive people to have ever lived. And he aint even dead yet.
