So, you’re telling me heroes drink milk? Ok, I’m onboard.
only one of these could be called a hero.
leon is at BEST a very dark shade of morally gray as a former child soldier who was raised to be a hitman by the mob.
and the dude is just the dude. he just wanted his damn rug back.
The opening narration confirms that the Dude is in fact, not a hero (emphasis mine):
[…] I only mention it because sometimes there’s a man… I won’t say a hero, 'cause, what’s a hero? But sometimes, there’s a man. And I’m talkin’ about the Dude here. Sometimes, there’s a man, well, he’s the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that’s the Dude, in Los Angeles. And even if he’s a lazy man - and the Dude was most certainly that. Quite possibly the laziest in Los Angeles County, which would place him high in the runnin’ for laziest worldwide. But sometimes there’s a man, sometimes, there’s a man. Aw. I lost my train of thought here. But… aw, hell. I’ve done introduced him enough.
I’ve always thought the trope was based on the idea of stunted development. Kids are heavily encouraged to drink milk, so films making a point of adults drinking it are indicating that there’s some part of growing up that they’ve missed.
It’s also not made for adults, it’s literally baby food for mamals.
While some parts of the world have been drinking it out of necessity to survive (in colder climate) most of the world haven’t developed a lactose tolerancy.
Adult milk drinkers are indeed freaks.Now I’m gonna drink even MORE milk today. Mwahahaaa! MWAHAHAHAHA!
I’ll stick to milking my almonds, even if it’s a tedious job bcs their tits are very small.
