I’ve been working on a video essay about the 'Hero’s Tax'—the idea that classic heroes like John Wayne’s Ethan Edwards had to pay for their violence with their humanity. I look at how that was lost by the time we got to Stallone’s Cobra in 1986. Thought this group might enjoy the deep dive into 50s vs 80s cinema logic.
