Oh nononono that's totally unacceptable. First of all, John McClane is the epitome of toxic masculinity โ he smokes, he swears, he shoots guns, and he clearly cannot stop himself from stalking his ex-wife against her clear wishes to be left alone.
Second, he's also a racist, who, in a several acts of clear and utter police brutality murders a calm and well-mannered German gentleman (played by a British actor) and his merry band of European immigrants who are merely trying to settle a dispute between themselves and a Japanese megacorporation in order to improve their local economy and feed starving children at home.
If you're watching this movie in 2023, you're definitely an alt-right terrorist and you belong on a watchlist.
