@@jbjigga7045 it's a double entender as Rambo's first name in the movie and novel is John. Peacemaker, who is also in the game, is portrayed by John Cena.
My dad likes the first movie because he can somewhat relate to how Rambo feels. Both Rambo and my dad came back from a war and were both treated like shit.
I remember a Vietnam War vet explaining the difference between WW2 vets and Vietnam vets. He said they both fought a similar type of war, one that was brutal and unforgiving. Vietnam was one of those odd wars that was the last before the coining of modern warfare took place. WW2 vets got to ride home on ships across the Atlantic. They had time to "debrief" as he put it. Like 6 weeks or something like that and they got to be with all their friends and brothers in arms. Vietnam vets had no such luxury. Once they were deemed unfit to serve, they were taken back stateside and promptly medically discharged. Americans during WW2 were behind their soldiers all the way and got a standing ovation when they returned home. Once again, Vietnam vets had no such privilege. Many were scorned, spat on, called baby killers and all sorts of other vile crap. And no that is not just me repeating what Rambo said in First Blood, that was the reality for many Vietnam vets. Vietnam vets got done so wrong by their government and even their own people.
Arrested for bull shit reasons. Tormented by the deputies in the station. (Which included awakening his PTSD) Hunted with lethal force for escaping the station. Shot at repeatedly before he defended himself and killed that deputy in self-defense. Hunted through the forest while taking out the deputies with no casualties except the helicopter. Attacked by the national guard and blown up. Branded a national criminal for defending himself. And then, instead of clearing up the mess after learning that he'd been assaulted by the deputies first, the sheriff continued the manhunt with intent to cause him great pain and / or death out of pride. Really, Rambo's response was in no way disproportionate.
@@ikari6399it's in the games, the original kung lao was like that becuase the Monks failed in teaching him about being humble and such. Dont start with raiden.
Actually, John was pretty laid back with those crooked cops until their devious actions gave him a PTSD Flashback of being tortured in Nam. Then it was on!
Rambo just wanted something to eat and Teasle had to bust him and his cronies were beating him. No wonder his PTSD jumped into overdrive. While Rambo's response was disproportionate, it was avoidable only if Teasle wasn't being a dick to begin with. You'd think Geras would see that if he really watches over the timelines.
MK11's Tier List aside, I loved to play with him. Even more with the Movie Marathon of all his Movies and finally enjoy him in its whole splendor. Stallone and John Rambo are Immortalized here forever 🔥
One of the best things in the current MK, they make the outside character part of the lore, look at joker, he eventually became a piece of the games history.
Disproportionate? Rambo got arrested for wanting something to eat instead of walking 5 miles to the next town, got beat up by teasels deputies, showered with a fire hose, and then shaved dry. They got what they deserved.
Tbf that was a war no American soldier wanted to be in. It was a pointless, wasted, avoidable war that they drug thousands of innocent men, women, and sadly children through
