Shitting on Steven Segull movies will never not be funny.

He’s so powerful that he doesn’t need to stand up. Even Bruce Lee had to use his legs. Steven could remotely kill a bad guy in the USA with his psychic powers while having a burger with Putin in Russia, he’s the powerfulest.

All events are non fiction too

Ah, so you discovered Space Ice... have fun

[–] gofsckyourself 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Do all the videos use the same schtick of 'movie voiceover' voice for the entirety of the video?

As funny as the clips are. The voice got old after 12 seconds.

His Seagal stuff is pretty funny, but the rampant misogyny he mixes in is incredibly outputting.

[–] Jumi -1 points 3 weeks ago

Then don't watch him?

[–] elbucho 13 points 3 weeks ago

He's actually gonna be starring in a John Wick spinoff soon. Looks pretty dope.

wow good call, I laughed out loud a lot during that, I'm definitely watching the rest of that channel.

Its a good watch

Their should be a word for the type of actor that can't slide into supporting rolls as they age and become parodies of themselves. And it's not just action stars. Kevin Costner has been trying to lead an epic Western for like 40 years.

[–] MothmanDelorian 5 points 3 weeks ago

Costner did lead several westerns and a few were good. Segal has always been a joke.

[–] RampantParanoia2365 2 points 3 weeks ago

Didn't Costner lead Yellowstone, which was insanely successful, and has Harrison Ford leading a new spin-off?

I never really watched many action movies growing up, so I had never seen any Steven Seagal films, but I did know of him and mentally put him at the level of like Van Damme. In the last few years I've become aware that he's pretty much a complete joke, and basically always has been. But I don't think he was recognized as such at his peak popularity, was he? Did people always think he was cringe or were his films and performances actually received with earnest appreciation and applause? Despite how awful, full of exaggerated machismo and lazy they are.

Van Damme is a much better actor and was extremely fuckable in his heyday which cannot be said for Segal

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

My first exposure to him was a movie where it seems like he was parodying himself and played with the concept of being past his prime

It was really well done, his acting was fantastic and I enjoyed it, despite probably missing a lot of context

[–] MothmanDelorian 2 points 3 weeks ago

He did a show called Van Damme Van Johnson whose premise was he was a secret agent and all the action films were cover for his work. It was great but like everything on Prime in the early days nobody watched it.
