good point -
just curious if it was a western thing, Eastwood thing, or if there were actual incidents in the life of JW that affected Push in particular…
Here’s a character that influenced my life (this one’s for you too Edgy); Conan the Barbarian. Not the movie even, the actual stories. I guess I could say Robert E. Howard, but his character is much more famous than he is.
I remember as a kid all the cartoons and shows and reading material meant for me involved weak, puny characters who overcame adversity (or big bad bullies) through superior intelligence and morals and talking. I was always a smart kid, and intelligence is a great quality to celebrate, but what’s wrong with being big and strong? How come nobody ever got jacked and savage and beat the fuck out of the mean ol’ bully? Then I read Conan. The original short stories by Howard. It was so beautifully simple, and so different from everything the politically correct world thought would appeal to me. It made strength a celebrated quality.
