Are you trying to say that there are no masculine male movie characters at all these days? Off the top of my head I can think of at least one that is in the cinema at the moment, the latest movie in the Chronicles of Riddick. Granted I dont really like Vin Diesel these days, but I would say he could easily be considered to fit the role of a masculine male.

Lets forget all those Marvel and DC movies, that **** never happened, right? And The Lord of the Rings movies were pretty pansy, not like it had an army of the dead, dudes slaying giant elephants, armies of violent, ruthless, corrupted creatures made for the sole purpose of destruction all living under a constantly erupting volcano.

Ugh, this is ******** . Both of those are horrible male characters. One is an over the top macho power fantasy, simultaneously glorifying and strengthening the idea that men are (or should be) nothing more than violent brutes with no emotions or emotional weakness. The other is an unrealistic fantasy of what some women want men to be, a feminine, but at the same time powerful protector with a perfect body and a perfect soul who somehow wants to waste his time hanging around a boring cardboard cutout of a female lead (read: self insert character). The flipside is true for female characters is true, and definitely much more prevalent, but at least they get attention for being sexist/ ****** female characters. These male characters however, don't. If I want to cry because I'm sad, I ******* will, and if I'm not a pale looking dude who sparkles in the sunlight, I shouldn't be considered unattractive. The sad thing about this post is that, while male characters in Twilight and its ilk are unrealistic, they are made for immature girls to stroke it to, not for us; This whole macho man, "I'm so tough, I don't cry, cause crying is for girls and weaklings" image is a sexist attitude towards men, perpetrated by men.

Now I'm not saying being masculine is bad, after all, this is coming from a dude who has had a beard since 7th grade, just that overblown image of masculinity is. And for the record, I am not calling silly action movies, or even Twilight movies harmful or sexist or what have you. They are just cheesecake, stupid pleasures with no real merit, much like porn or actual cheesecake, and that's where they should be and that's where they should stay, the second someone uses them as benchmarks for how actual people should be, that's when it becomes a problem.

sorry for the rant, have a squidbuck

> Implying there weren't fruity heroes in the 80's
> Implying Edward from Twilight is representative of all of cinema's heroes in present day
> Implying OP is anything even resembling a real man.

What a stupid ******* post, go back to Facebook OP.

Pic related, an 80's hero

that's a stupid comparison. those are completly different movie genres with a completly different fanbase. that's like saying the movie hero of the 80s was Patrick Swayze.

Those are 2 different genres of movies. You can't compare them, really.
Twilight still sucks, though.
