Without the action hero, Rambo wouldn't be iconic. No real merch to sell.

I agree with your point, as I look at many modern movies, especially popularized from nerd culture, trying to please an audience that aren't fans....and discard their true fans for the agenda.

With the attack on the past by the woke, I tend to put movies as now stand alone. They can call it Rise of Skywalker all they want, but no way it is part of Star Wars in my eyes. Same with any Terminator movie past T2, any movie past the original LOTR movies, and so on. The longer they stretch a franchise out, the more fractured the fan base becomes.

Funny you should mention Star Wars regarding wokeness. George Lucas has said it’s entire premise was inspired by the Viet Cong and their fight against a superior military. Wokeness was not defined yet it was always with these films from the get go. The lack diversity of the cast at the time was also attacked by the late Carl Sagan on the Carson show as being unrealistic https://youtu.be/-D_gH5oikOA I guess Mr. Sagan would be branded a “SJW” today.

But I digress. ThreeZero is knocking it out of the park with these likenesses. So much so I wouldn’t mind them overtaking Hot Toys, who are hit and miss.
