Just finished up the show, Colin Farrell was spectacular as an actor, but the wahmaning, victim writing, and poor story structure sucked the life out of the otherwise genuinely good parts. I don’t know if it was the female showrunner or writers or what, but you could have entirely removed the female “rival (but secret actual main character)” from the entire series and the show would have drastically improved. They had gold with a Colin Farrell playing Tony soprano trying to scumbag his way to the top and nearly half the series episodes instead revolve around a girl boss “finding herself” after being a victim. It’s so fucking tiresome anymore that something can be a solid 7-8 tv show if you just completely remove half of it because it’s female victim porn.

Even if that platoon was the 1st Drone Strike platoon, where all the platoon does is sit at computers pressing buttons to initiate or not initiate drone strikes, well... The top Starcraft esports players are even all bio-male. I can see wanting to m'lady the women, I can see grasping for a theoretical singular edge case where probabilities align to allow an outlier... But on-average, platoon vs platoon combat? That's peak delulu.
It's probably because his yardstick for male performance is himself. He's the edge case, a platoon of emotionally pathetic soy twigs and neckbeard lardsticks probably would actually be about as good as a platoon of average women.
He's not so much overestimating the average woman as underestimating how ridiculously below average he is.
