Mark Wahlberg has played the hero one too many times

[crows]

is not only him.
I remember hearing a lot of people, men saying that if they were in the plane they would have fought back,

I remember some people saying how come no one tried to fight back or something,

hell, there was even a TV show about taking control of a plane, I think it was on Spike TV,

the TV show is called Surviving Disaster

SURVIVING DISASTER
Hijack - Episode 101

Navy SEAL Cade Courtley fights terrorists in this highly realistic simulation of an aircraft hijacking. He shows you how to turn everyday items into improvised weapons, how to overtake suicidal hijackers and how to fly and land a plane

full episode
https://www.spike.com/full-episodes/435sbj/surviving-disaster-hijack-season-1-ep-101

This guy talks about different techniques to take down the terrorists and land the plane, step by step,
so I don't see how what Mark Wahlberg is that big of a deal when they even made a freaking show about doing exactly what he said he would do.

I think he was just trying to say that if he was on the plane with his kids, that he would've done everything and anything to prevent what happened. He would've went down with a fight. He just said it the wrong way. People have said things like this since it happened. I honestly don't see what the big deal is, and I'm not even a fan of his.

He's just a *********.

That's exactly what I thought.
He's a celebritty, people are going to take anything he says and blow it out of proportion.

Hasn't he always been that macho kid from the streets? He seems like a nice guy, I doubt his intentions were to insult people with that comment.

I understand the feeling behind his comments. A lot of us would love to think that we could make a difference, if we wanted it badly enough....Got the feeling he was just speaking as a Parent

yeah I think that's exactly what he meant,
and like i said, a lot of other people felt the same, about attackiing the hijackers

even stand up comedians were making jokes about attacking them, i remember in comedy central, 2 or 3 comedians were joking about it,

Re: Mark Wahlberg has played the hero 1 too many times

That would've actually required the OP to do research.

research? what's that?

I understand what he was saying also, but he said it in a cocky hero way.

He's a ********* with major ego problems apparently.

Y'know, at first glance, my thought was also that this guy's a deluded ass bag, which he kinda is. But, I'm sure we all know guys who would say similar ____ after a beer or two. Or even without beer. It isn't like Wahlberg is one of our generation's great thoughtful commentators. He's just some guy who used to rap and now gets paid lots of money to star in action movies. Considering who he is, it isn't really all that shocking, and I really don't care.

Oh yea for sure, but then again there are also a lot of genuine and respectable actors and actresses... too bad Marky Mark is of the opposite.

Same goes for every profession, I'm sure. There are douchy, delusional bankers, sales clerks, waiters, doctors, etc.

I don't find him too bad, he is like Vin Diesel (except l like Diesel alot more) their in the same kind of movies again and again for the most part and not the best actors, though it works for the type of movies they are in.

Wahlberg on the other hand is a black poseur, that is who he is. If you listen to the late 90's Howard Stern interview Wahlberg admits he acts and talk black all the time. That would get annoying being around all the time. The only people who should talk black are black people.

So what? We all say stupid stuff sometimes. I don't care if you're Marky Mark or Queen frickin' Elizabeth, it's part of being human, every single one of us has probably said something that can be perceived as "douchey" at one point or another because we didn't quite think something through before we opened it up? The guy slipped up, does it make him an egomaniacal *********? I prefer not to judge people based on a single thing that they said, especially when we don't even know the context of which. Oh well, I guess it comes with being a celebrity.

I wouldn't have to ever hear it if he was a nobody.
