As far as I can tell the message of the movie is "consumerism is bad because it's emasculating and feminizing, real liberation can be found in ruthless hierarchies of masculine violence"

The only person I know who likes it IRL also has a tendency to complain about the "pussification of modern men"

    My friends and I watched it and decided to fight each other to feel what it was like after watching the film. Got a busted lip needing stitches but was also happy to know how it felt. There was def some homo-eroticism in that basement lol. Otherwise no strong opinions on the film, except that it can be taken pretty fashy really easily

      in high school someone in our group brought boxing gloves to the skatepark (we were all skaters) and we all duked it out against one another. On the grass, no anger, a ref to ensure it didn't get out of hand. Getting punched in the face was a fairly positive experience, keep your hands up.

        Oh I was like 21 when it happened, not a kid lol. Agree with "Marvel Film for nihilists" though. Except if Marvel films also secretly were parodies of hero stories.
