We’ll were not in the height of any space race or cold war so you can take idealization as a way of saying there is no status quo.The general public or media would rather not have an opinion on lest one spark debate. They go for obscure idealism so nobody can say a thing. Somehow this is good for us? maybe maybe not. These days people don’t want to talk about the LGTBQ because if you do you’re not PC or that you’re critizism is too harsh.
If you know of a nice way of glorifying hypermasculine and super sexual as something good, then you’d be onto something every film producer is after. They got away with it in the 90s only because the big blockbuster was the only way to do it. These days action movies needs to be over the top with lots of cast members. + the action movie needs to be comedy centric these days with The Rock starring in it for it to be sucessful.
