Yeah bro, the soyboys over at Marvel are so cringe. Before Marvel and funko the soyness was not at all mainstream :marseyclueless:

The entirety of Amerikkkan culture is just one wave after another of soyness.

I literally never heard of Tom Clancy outside of the Rainbow Six games, probably only famous in burgerland and other anglo countries

Tom Clancy is burger boomer pop lit. One of the reasons he got famous was because Reagan loved The Hunt of the Red October (good movie adaptation by the way).

I recall that Clancy only wrote like his first two or three novels, after that he legally sold his name or sumshit, and the rest of the novels were ghost-written by other authors, he was very open about how he actually hated writing and he was only in it for the money :marseygangster: @debussy_lmao @ProterozoicBussy @GROYPER_RESPECTER @BoozeMESSIAH also you nibbas speak of him as if he is still alive when he has been dead since 2013 :marseyxd:

Hence why so much shit completely unrelated to Clancy has his name splattered all over it, including this shitshow that looks like the video game a kid is playing on the background of a movie from 2015: https://old.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/onjh62/tom_clancys_xdefiant_worldwide_reveal_trailer/

Nah, I was aware he was dead. I didn't know his novels were ghostwritten while he was still alive though, I thought they just started using his name as a brand after his death

I knew he didn't write many of his own books, but I thought that applied more to the shovelware in the 2000s, not with the ones in the 90s and even 80s.

His film commentary is where he truly shines, the guy had an encyclopedic knowledge of everything military related.

:#marseynotes: thanks for the deboonking, thought that this only applied to his first books.

Huh that actually makes total sense. Patriot Games and Hunt for Red October were each the length as a single chapter from any of "his" later works

The time has come for the Necromaster. The unleashing of the fourth joker's card. The arrival of The Great Milenko

Don't care the franchise still was cold war kino :marseyadmire:

I read almost all of them I think. School library had the full set. If you have the time watch hunt for red October. Its a kino movie.

I really liked Red Storm Rising when I read it (except for that stupid subplot involving the American lieutenant and that Icelandic girl).

The war descriptions were so neat :marseyexcited: I still remember the passage about a swarm of Soviet bombers trying to overwhelm a carrier group's air defense(though I forget if they succeeded or not).

>tfw trying to write a similar passage in current year will just be Xin Jing pressing a red button in his underground bunker in Fuzhou to launch 50 YJ-12s and John Smith pressing different buttons aboard his frigate to activate the Aegis system

:marseydepressed:

Why does war become gayer with each decade? Soon it'll be just purely industrial, no human element involved. It sucks.

Man that was so cringe. I actually started to just skip those chapters by the end of the book, what a stupid subplot.

It’s pretty funny when authors insert their weird fetishes into books though. Tom Clancy 100% had a cuckolding r*pe fetish.

Kingkiller Chronicle has something like this as well, I think in the second book? I don’t know why their editors let this stuff get published.

Those are pretty much the only novels my dad ever read and he doesn't speak English at all. I think its probably a generational thing

I've looked up and apparently there are a couple of movies made after his novels. The ones I recognized are Hunt for Red October and The Sum of all Fears

The actual Rainbow Six book is fun. Not great literature, but pretty enjoyable.

It's a story about the world's best tacticool oper9rs saving global capitalism from limp-wristed vegans. What more could you ask for?
