Putting aside that Jason Bourne is fictional, this false display of manliness reminds me of how my dad always said he couldn't take the Bourne movies seriously because Matt Damon looks like an honour roll student.
Also, the CIA was never scary because the individual agents are badasses, the individual agents have always been Ivy league educated preppy rich kids, who weren't the ones that would inherit their parents' companies. Like the CIA is scary for its institutional power, not because all the guys played rugby at Princeton for one semester. As dumb as that ad was, that Latina woman could probably take on most CIA employees from the 1970s in a fight. Like guaranteed most CIA employees have never physically overpowered a person they didn't drug.
It's so funny that every conservative's masculine ideal is a fictional character. It's always John Wayne or James Bond, they can never come up with a real person
Doing it for
James BondJason Bourne is extra funny to me, because when the movies were new Conservatives definitely had a fit over action stars being real men back in the day. I wasn't kidding about my dad not taking him seriously because he looks like an "honour roll student".Reminds me of the joke about Rocky. White boxers were losing so regularly that Hollywood needed to invent a winner from whole cloth.
