Published in The Onion November 23, 2015
This article aims to mock the repetitive nature of action movies that the American public seems to continue enjoying no matter how many times it's done. The author argues that there are far too many scenes that are recycled throughout movies and are entirely too predictable. Their ability to so effortlessly repeat some of the most common scenes and paint a picture of several movies that contain them brings to light the true repetitive state of Hollywood today. By presenting the information in satire, the article allows the reader to consider an obvious truth that would have otherwise been overlooked. It also exposes the absurdity of how cookie cutter the movies are by providing jokes to laugh at while simultaneously exposing the truth.
