Pratt is kinda funny. he's mostly a boring leading man, he was funny in Parks and Rec, and maybe there will be some kinda funny stories to be seen, if the war ever fucking ends. but has Pratt done dark shit like war crimes?

And if you squint real hard they almost look alike. Tomorrow War and The Terminal List come to mind. Not super dark but definitely a heavier tone opposed to other work he has done.

fair enough, but I still don't see Pratt as Zelensky confronting the various massacres, such as Bucha, or having real empathy at all. You do know Zelensky is not a military commander? He is not a real-life action hero?

Action hero? No, didn’t think so. Depending on the outcome though, history might very well lean into that angle. Happened before.

Edit: Meant to say: in retrospect, history might very well be looking back at him in such a way.

this one bothered me, sorry to bring up old lemmy posts. but fuck that. history doesn't lean. It looks that way in retrospect.

Old? Barely 80h. I’ve had much, much older posts in my feed (at some point anyways).

Terribly sorry mate, hope that wasn’t offensive or anything. I went back and adjusted my comment but kept the original so your reply still makes sense.

Learned something new today, thanks.

this is hilarious
