But wasn’t the point of Last Action Hero that „shallow action flicks with beefy dudes and solid one-liners“ are a thing of the past? If it was an influence on Duke 3D, it didn’t retain any of this notion. Video games are a generation behind, maybe it could work again.
And Duke has kinda proven that. 3D has had multiple ports, some better than others, but barely anyone talks about the 2D GBA titles, and Forever will forever be a rotting flop.
The last big commercial success was at an end of an era, at best becoming an archaic parody of a branch of the industry no longer really made, at worst an uncomfortable artifact of a bygone era of entertainment.
Duke could try to reconnect with his daughter, in a world under the benevolent rule of the aliens.
That'd work....
In a very strange reboot of Johnny Bravo, who was a much more positive parody of characters like Duke Nukem. Duke is written as the stereotype who'd bag 'em, tag 'em, and jet to the next bed.
