Your thinking the day of machismo is over has John Wick, Nobody and Sisu saying otherwise. There's always a market for basic human archetypes no matter how much 'woke' Hollywood wishes otherwise. The box office beatings will continue until they realize they're in the entertainment - not reprogramming - business.
