    moreso speaking on how he gets memed as a "sigma male" i.e drive & blade runner

    ok well hes an android that has a tender relationship with an AI in Blade Runner

    i guess hes a bit of a loner white knight in Drive but still, "insufferable hostile a****** that only knows how to interact as a sentient sack of greasy toxic sludge"?! lets not do the polite Canadian fellow like this

    If it’s a one and done thing it’s fine but when you check out a show and you see it has 5 seasons

    Unless you’re Sopranos or HotD tier you don’t need all that

    Idk what this tweet means by hostile but I feel like this role has inspired a subgenre of dark haired white male, loner protagionists who usually has suffered trauma to make them more sympathetic eg Joe Goldberg. Never watched Taxi Driver so he might be the OG but Nightcrawler started a trend

    taxi driver is definitely the OG lol, and more in between then and now

    this is another example of a twitter user having either short term memory or just a lack of knowledge in regards to what they're talking about. edgy protagonists aren't new and i don't think they're in abundance more than they have been previously.

    Who said they are new?

    Thats been a thing for decades lmao.

    Sopranos, Married With Children, Royal Tenenbaums, Friends, Raging Bull

    A lot of TV and film leads are complex narcissists. Its easier to take one character and revolve the world around them. And its a more interesting story to make them a morally gray character.

    How does one believe that the modern film writer was 'raised by Twitter'? That persons gotta be 18 or under.
