Stereotyping ACTION...

ACTION MOVIE:

A movie wherein a good looking underdog (or underdogs if they're many) wreaks havoc in a certain location. That location can be a city, a town or a planet. The madness is usually driven by a certain cause which often gravitates to power, vengeance, money or a special person (who's more often than not good looking). Of course, the damage inflicted on the location, irregardless of the lives of the innocent people living there, is always justified. Quite strangely, I'm starting to appreciate it. It all started with Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

ACTION HERO:

The good looking underdog who's task is to chase after the ugly guy. The chase often involves wreaking havok and mass killing. But since he's (or she's) good looking and he's (or she's) an underdog, his (or her) actions are justfied. He's (or She's) usually the one who wins at the end of the story.

ACTION VILLAIN:

The ugly looking underdog who's usually misunderstood. His (or Her) story is usually not heard or included in the story. Nobody is supposed to care about his (or her) character because he (or she) is supposed to scare or annoy the audience. He (or She) is usually the smart one, tho. But of course, the hero has to win. So, he or she has to die or be exiled at the end of the story.
