What happened to this sort of masculinity?
What happened to these sorts of action heroes?
When did chad become metrosexual?
thrash metal died more or less
Those kinds of action movies were more of a political statement and very based in cold-war rivalries. Once the cold war ended and America's enemies were more ambiguous, movies and other media followed
We are going in to an age where females are portraid as action heroes. It's getting forced, and it makes me cringe hard.

Rambo movies were full of homoerotic undertones.
>big muscles
>big guns (metaphors for dicks)
>shirtless oiled men
>literally zero women
They were completely gay movies. Pretty much all that was missing was Rambo dropping to his knees and sucking dick.
>>29181262
lol, we live in the biggest era for capeshit movies right now and they all feature masculine, macho heroes with muscles.
>>29181262
Men don't need to be giant meatheads in order to be macho. Men have evolved to be caring and sensitive and still retain their masculinity. What makes a man is what his heart is made of not the size of his muscles.
>>29181823
Literally feminism. Women have no concept of masculinity, honor, heroism, or virtue. It's a cute joke to them like everything else in their pointless vapid lives.
>>29182444
That's horseshit you dumb faggot. Males are hunters, inventors, and builders. Cunts literally can't do any of those things.
>>29182373
who told you this? your professor in gender studies? your nu-male friends?

Why do I think you are a succubus?
that 80s macho film shit had tones of gay undertones tho why is that a good thing to you?

So, what's the best 80s action movie and why is it Commando ?
Bennett being a Freddie Mercury doppelganger and screaming "I DON'T NEED THE GIRL" towards the end of the movie sure sounds a little gay, but hey, it's all good fun.
>>29182527
Which 80s action movies have you watched, kiddo? :^)
>i watched predator on tv and now I know everything about manliness xDDD
>>29182527
you do realise sjw numales from reddit would very likey be into 80s films about gay machoism right?
>>29182548
Bloodsport
>>29182548
It condenses every 80s action trope into its purest form. It's basically a proof of concept for the genre, without the nuance or cinematic notability of other classics (Terminator 2, Aliens).
Once you've seen Commando, you've seen everything 80s action has to offer. Con Air does the same with 90s action.

Male role models have been gravitating closer to what the woman's ideal version of a male is in film and tv. Probably because of the jews, who knows. I can't even think of a tv role model in recent times besides Jack Bauer, and he's wasting away in a gulag.
The Rocky movies are pretty quintessential for a guy to watch I'd say. If that shit doesn't motivate you for the better than nothing will. I haven't watched them past V though so I don't know if the later ones are any good but V was pretty shitty.
>>29182562
but that problematic media only contributes to toxic masculinity in modern society. we need doughy high estrogen pencil pushers whose idea of masculinity is sitting on their ass 12 hours a day under fluorescent lights letting their balls bake under their body heat.
>>29182444
>What makes a man is what his heart is made of not the size of his muscles.
Have you even seen First Blood?
>>29182444
huh GGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

Definitely one of the greats. Van Damme pulled off some good shit at that time.
>>29182477
and what animals have you hunted? the dead cow at the supermarket? was that a real tough journey for you? putting it into that shopping cart must have really strained your muscles. Like I said, men have EVOLVED where being a meathead doesn't equal masculinity.

This,
What classifies manliness in the coming age is how proudly autistic you can be.
Autism is the next evolution of humans, amazing good at academics but socially inept, because humans have evolved o be self sufficient and only need to interact for sex and money

You want to hold his big strong erect machine gun too until it shoots all over your face?
Grab his huge knife too and penetrate some small Asian vietcongs with it? Maybe hold it in your mouth as you trek through the jungle.
>>29182984
O-okay, now you're just hurting my feelings
>>29181262
Sylvester Stallone is a short little Italian dude on steroids.
Don't look at him as if he's some sort of paragon of masculinity.
Just look at the movie "Rambo" when he takes off his shirt and we're supposed to be all impressed by his muscles, what we actually see is that he has a very small skeletal frame, sort torso, and thin hips. All of the muscle hanging on this tiny little man's body looks unnatural and out of place, which it obviously is.
A "man" is not an action hero, this is a crude exaggeration of masculinity. A real man is someone who clocks into work each day, keeps a level head and is calm, cool, and collected in the face of problems.
>>29183022
>a real man lets his wife indulge in her sexual fantasies with other men who can fulfill them. as long as her heart is still yours, it doesn't make you less of a man :)

>vapid
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/vapid?s=t
1.lacking or having lost life, sharpness, or flavor; insipid; flat: vapid tea.
2.without liveliness or spirit; dull or tedious:
a vapid party; vapid conversation.
Isn't scary how that word describe robots (failed normies) so well? Unliving creatures.
Why do we have to be these muscular guys who beat people up in order to be considered a man? It's so fucking retarded.
>>29181262
It's not manly to think war and violence is a good thing. A lot of masculine cultures participated in war out of necessity, but realized it was inherently a bad thing and foresaw a time when nobody fought anymore. Farming, medicine, science, art etc. was just as masculine to some people.
>>29182477
You probably don't do any of that, but the first computer programmer was a woman. Cultured meat > hunted meat anyway. You're still holding on to old ideas of masculinity and you can't adapt.
>>29183529
We don't, because the 80's ended a quarter of a century ago.
>>29182746
But in that one episode he became cyborg and beat that evil motorcyclist
I actually prefer the 70's action movies more. Dirty harry and Charles Bronson over Arnold any sly any day. 80's action was still good though.
T1>rocky>first blood>conan>commando>>cobra>>>>>everything else

yeah we should just point a shotgun to our heads instead that's more manly
>>29182373
the rambo movies varied widely in tone honestly
>>29181262
true man movies of the past was shit like devils advocate
had nothing to due with just raw strength and firepower
had everything to due with the complexities of the human psyche and the moral membrane of our conciousness, you know, stuff men have been trying to conquer since BC. philosphy and the like. a roastie like you wouldn't understand
I see MMA fighters like Lesnar and Couture spammed everywhere and even starring in movies so your argument is invalid.

I've hunted the dead cow that is my wife. Don't get sassy with me, sweet tits.
Being a man or being a woman is intrinsically valueless and what is masculine and feminine is completely based on the cultural context.
What it takes to "be a man" is completely subjective, unless you're referring to chromosomes, then it's just semantics.
>>29181262
That sort of physique is an entirely modern phenomenon. The natural male physique is lean and wiry. Bulging muscles are only useful in a decaying postindustrial society for show.
who are the Arnold and Stallone of today? talking acting wise of course.
>>29187279
the films aren't about being "Natural" dont you get it?
they are about being larger than life, which is what being a man is all about
>>29187527
It's an unrealistic capitalistic portrayal of masculinity. Created to get people to spend money and have silly illusions.
Girls aren't attracted to masculinity anymore. They find muscles "icky" . They go for the tall skinny fag with a beanie, 2 day beard growth and a guitar.

this may sound stupid, but robert downy jr.
comic book movies have completely over taken the action movie genre, so we kind of have to use those movies and pick out actors to compare to arnie. guys like chris evans, chris hemsworth, robert downy jr - those are the big "action stars" of today.

>What happened to this sort of masculinity?
It never existed.
What you are looking at are extreme outlier cases that involve years and years of training and gear cycling. That sort of "masculine" involved wearing tights and lifting weights up and down at a gym, of which if you saw today you'd probably call faggotry.
My question: what happened to make it so that normalfags and teenagers with social media access felt as though they would be welcome on 4chan?
>>29181823
Welcome to capitalism. What sells, sells.
>>29182463
>Literally feminism.
You need to stop making this dishonest distinguish between women and feminism. Feminism is female nature given political heft, nothing more. It is "literally female nature", not "literally feminism".
