Ironic. A movie exposing the horrors of war and their legal and marketing teams are worried about having “born to kill” on the cover. Don’t look too close, you might see what actual war is like .
It’s one of the dumbest things about American culture.
We have such unique choices about what is acceptable and what isn’t in our entertainment.
Curse words? Bad.
Violence? Okay.
Nipple? Bad.
Guns? Okay.
Yeah but remember the 80’s where cartoons couldn’t have any real violence in them at all?
He-man Thundercats. Hell Transformers only got away with the violence level it did because they were robots shooting lasers.
It is so hypocritical that we’re constantly told violence and confrontation is never the answer. Laws are passed making it illegal to even defend ourselves. And then 90% of the movies and TV shows are about the glorification of crime, and violence, often with egregious gun usage.
The people who make movies are not the same people who make laws.
It’s not arbitrary. Guns and violence are okay because America wants to normalize them joining the army and using them for their imperialism.
They even made a free video game for this purpose. But I don’t understand how anyone playing America’s Army would conclude that they want to join the Army. You die several times per day.
Also not realistic. Where’s going to sleep at 11pm then waking up at 2am to prepare for a convoy that leaves at 6am? Where’s loading a radio repeatedly because it keeps losing freqs? Where’s kicking hummvee tires and checking the oil and calling it good only for it to break down 3 miles down the road?
Can’t even call a toilet a toilet. It’s a bathroom or restroom.
Americans use the word toilet. It’s the thing you sit on, not the room itself.
WC
I guess the executives at Amazon really missed the entire point of the movie. They definitely missed the scene where the fucking words from the helmet and conflicting peace symbol were explained during an awesome conversation between Joker and his commanding officer.
“The duality of man sir!”
“Private, you better pull your head out of your ass and get your head in the game, or I will take a giant shit on you!”
Youtube version: “Born to un-alive”
I thought this was a Lana reference at first.

“Born to Liberate”
What the actual fuck. How is that even legal?

Not sure how a contact like that would look like our of anyone would sign that. After all, that would mean they could alter your work to whatever. What if they add a swastika to the forehead of someone? I doubt it.
… what? This is a really weird take. Amazon isn’t gonna put random swastikas on stuff. Contracts they have with media companies probably specify in what ways and to what degree they can alter images. I have no doubt they did this legally; WB asked them to change it, they didn’t issue a legal demand.
Contracts often have a lot of wiggle room for stuff like this, and the reason life isn’t 24/7 lawsuits is because parties with a grievance talk to each other and reach an agreement without going to court and invoking legality.
I would like to read that contract
