By that I mean it got Bad reviews so not many people watched it besides this is a gaming website so more poeple would know Duke Nukem even If the phrase is from another movie. and If ur asking why I said movie it's because the phrase came from an older movie where the main character walks into a bank says his line(not as well as Mr.Nukem) and shoots people.ShoryukenDude said:
And the man is Roddy Piper? I dont care how well Nukem says it, If Piper said it, it's better.Sacman said:
On fictional characters: Who hasn't been inspired by legendary figures who may or may not be real? The first example I can think of is King Arthur, not so much today but for generations he inspired gallantry and courage in a nation. Admitedly he doesn't grow so much but look at many books and you see characters change. Evey from V for Vendetta, the german officer whose name I can't remember form Captain Corelli's mandolin. Not to mention the young fisher man from the same book who changes for the worse. Fictional characters can serve as good examples. I agree that not many characters undergo such changes but those that do are the truly great ones.squid5580 said:
Ah but what if that real life role model doesn't make it? if they go back to just being a waste? The person using them as a role model would lose hope and even sometimes fall to the same fate depending on the situation. The way I see it with a fictional character, you can always use some imagination about what they can do or overcome. very rarely would you have that role model fail compared to the chance you take with real life.squid5580 said:

How did I forget about the drugs and enabling? I don't see anything wrong with the facial hair, though. That's an awesome 'stache in my book.BolognaBaloney said:
That is exactly the point. When was the last time Link failed? Putting all your faith into him is setting you up for a bigger fall than Barry Bonds (that is is his name right? Baseball player that was good but found out he was cheating in some way) is proving an invaluable lesson. That humans are flawed. That we struggle for perfection. That we are not infallible. Most of the fictional role models start off perfect and end the same way. I am in no way saying thier message is wrong. It is just the fictional ones make it look so easy that it could discourage a youth from being heroic once they discover that it isn't as easy as Link made it look.YukoValis said:
