The original Heavy Metal movie might be construed as having been "manly" at one point or another.

And honestly, who cares what American Alpha Male Culture thinks, the whole concept is predicated on a lie anyway.

Shoot 'Em Up is an ok weekend flick but that's about it. Also I only watched it for Monica. Not because I think it'd be "manly".

Fair enough.

If you want a dose of cinematic testosterone, two words: Reb. Brown.

I was about 10-11 years old when i first watched Heavy metal. I thought "wow a cartoon this late at night, cool!"

...ah being young and naive.

Finally watched the Die Hard movies after recording them on my DVR. Man, I've been missing out!

Still need to see the 4th one though.

No, you don't.

Exactly.

Let's be fair, anybody on the Technodrome Forums wouldn't qualify as "manly" either to American Alpha Male Culture. I know I wouldn't; I love books and writing too much. And I don't watch futbol.

*Prowler* · 01-04-2017, 05:09 PM

The Street Fighter 2 animated movie is also pretty manly. Guile and Ryu certainly are manly as f*ck in that movie.

Hell, Ryu is one of the manliest video game characters of all time.

Admittedly a lot of my favourite fictional characters and such fit into the "manly" mold, despite me not exactly being what you'd call "manly" in the traditional sense. I guess I just like characters I wish I was as cool as.

I can pass for a while. Then it comes out that I read, recycle and drive a compact and the jig is up.

*Prowler* · 01-04-2017, 05:55 PM

I lift.

Do I qualify as a "brah"?

Have you ever set off the Lunk Alarm at a Planet Fitness?

LOL had to google this. Wha ta douchey thing to do.

No I have not. And tbh, the workout nuts, those guys who are REALLY into it usually don't visit those chain gyms but smaller gyms from what I've heard. My gym has lots of fatter middle aged people trying to lose weight in personal training classes. Also some people use it as a place to socialise with their friends/neighbours after work while they walk on the treadmill.

It was PG-13. PG-13 automatically takes away any movie's "manliness" card.

Anime was really popular with teens during the early 2000's, so I'm not surprised kids who grew up that era see it that way.

Anime was to the early 2000's what all those big 80's and 90's action movies were to that generation. This is a generational thing, different decades of kids/teens grew up with different action-oriented media.

That's why the young teens of today don't seem to know anything about those big action movies from the 80's and 90's.
