Cinematic legend is definitely pushing it.

He was in the sad Scottish fanfiction, Braveheart, and Lethal Weapon. Then he did Passion of the Christ, which was basically a church sermon disguised as a movie.

Ignoring his roles:

The original Mad Max trilogy, which featured just humans being fucking terrible in general and excelling at it.

Gallipoli which actually felt hard hitting even if it softened a lot of what happened there, displaying a softened view while hinting at more of what those men went through

Lethal Weapon, as you mentioned, showing that men can experience suicidal depression and eventually over the course of several years/movies recover

Directed Apocalypto - An (admittedly highly fantisised) movie about how a culture is equally if not more shitty to it's own people, and ends on the foreign europeans just appearing.

In 2021 that's a more respectable resume than 99% of anyone who even looks at California, drunken rants and all.

Not to mention all of the work he's done towards men health behind the scenes. Despite him being contractually obliged to suck the woke fem-dick, Robert Downey JR Credits Mel as his biggest influence getting clean and back on track

So we can indirectly thank Mel Gibson for the MCU getting off the ground and getting arguably ten good years of decent comic book films before they went into the gutter?

Thanks, Mel.

10 Years of hit or miss is better than the past 20 years of Hollywood to be honest

You realize that someone agreeing with me/making something that goes with my views doesn't make me a fan of their content...right?

Those movies I mentioned were still bland and uninteresting.

Saying that, I find 99% of movies bland and uninteresting. Maybe I'm just not a movie person.

That is, in context, the most brutal insult I've ever seen on KiA.

I’m addition to everything everyone else listed he has shown a great range of talent in front of and behind the camera, from quiet drama roles like Hamlet and The Man Without a Face to outright comedies like Maverick.

Plus to me he reperesents one of the few living actors that still embody the badass masculinity Hollywood used to give us without selling out or turning cuck for relevance. Mel, Clint Eastwood and of course Kurt Russel are about the only actors I can think of working today who haven’t bent over for Globohomo.

Also his rejection of Jodie Foster turned her into a lesbian, he called Winona Rider an oven dodger, And finally, Danny Glover likes him, and that crazy old bastard hates everybody.

May be the case, in fact I agree 100%, the movies that I really enjoy 100% make me think a bit, but not in the same way as Hipsters where 'It was so deep!' when it was as deep as the puddle of piss I produce on any article by anyone from the west coast of the US

The most popular subject in Western art. Evidently not so popular with Mr Impossible. And neither with Hollywood directors ;)
