Especially the campaigns, and especially how certain characters and moments are presented in the campaigns.
It's like right on the borderline of being a chuddy glorification of the military and being an absolute pisstake of things that chuddily glorify the military, and I genuinely can't work out which way it's trying to go with it.
Listening to Felix/matt talk about Sons of anarchy made me realize that I used to think shows like that couldn't possibly be 'taken seriously' by their viewers but what does that even mean lol I am a doofus
It is kind of interesting how people can find the same thing entertaining for such completely different reasons. I didn't really like Sons of Anarchy but it was something to watch. I think at the time I was pretty into prestige TV and just thought it was lackluster. I wasn't ready to enjoy something that sucks. But there are guys out there who just think it's cool and want to wear Sons of Anarchy jackets and shit. Probably the same guys who think The Sopranos is about cool guys hanging out and making money rather than the downfall of American empire.
The number of random dudes with Scarface posters in their rooms because they see Tony Montana as an inspiration would say yeah that's completely true.
Haha at least scarface is kind of a fun movie. I remember these dipshits I knew in college had a huge poster of that scene in Blow where they have all that cash stacked up in their house.
