The greatest thing about the Die Hard series is that they
basically just built it around Willis. The first film shows what Willis would
do if terrorist took over Demi Moore’s work. The second film shows what Willis
would do if terrorists showed up at the SAG Awards. The third film shows what Willis
would do if terrorists showed up while he was hanging out with Samuel L.
Jackson. The fourth film shows what Willis would do if terrorists hacked his
Facebook account. The fifth films shows what Willis would do if he was in
Russia, his son was on steroids, and terrorists showed up. I just watched this
marathon in the theaters, so my analysis of these films is spot on. Pretty much
everything John McClane goes through is survivable. I admit that as the films
go on, he does crazier stunts that make him appear more superhuman, but this is
only because he’s built himself up to it, a veteran of being a badass. Honestly,
the only thing separating you from being Willis is that you've never been put
in his situation, are antisocial, and probably not as wealthy.
