When Steve Irwin was alive I thought he was amazing, but then again he died as I entered my twenties… These days when I look back at pictures like this, I do question how much of a ‘great guy’ he was…
Steve Rogers. He tries to see where people are coming from when they disagree. He only kills Nazis because Nazis are bullies; he’s not just blindly following orders. He steps into situations out of concern for others’ well-being, not as a chore or for self-gain.
I found it to be saccharine garbage. I struggled through one season because I always heard good things and I truly hated it by the end. It’s on the level of Paw Patrol for dramatic tension
Yep. 100% absolutely. I am also not into sports at all, and honestly I don’t even give a crap about the sports part, I care about the fantastic portrayal of what real men are.
Yeah, I don’t like any sports and I loved Ted Lasso. A part of my fondness might be due to the show arriving in the thick of COVID and the Trump presidency.
I’ll admit, I was stuck on this for a while before posting, trying to come up with a (relatively) recent example.
My pick is Baby from Baby driver (awesome movie btw). It is the story of a young man who partly through poor decisions, and partly through circumstance ends up in bad circles. Throughout the movie, he learns to stand up for himself, what (he believes) is right, and those he cares for.
What I found most compelling however is how he - when faced with a serious choice - takes responsibility for his actions and mistakes, owning up to them and in the process stops the people he cares most about ending up in harms way.
In my opinion, that is perhaps one of the most important parts of being a man, owning and taking responsibility for your actions, even when that may come at a great personal cost.
