Prob. just me, but I’ve always thought a Ka-Zar movie was way past due.
The technology to do convincing dinosaurs has been around for decades.
2008’s 10,000 B.C. pretty much gave us a live action Zabu.
The MCU’s Black Panther showed how cool mixing high tech and jungle visuals could be.
All the parts are there to do the project.
Yeah...
It's just a very odd corner of world history.
The man murdered around five hundred men in under a hundred days. If the history is to be believed, he might have killed twenty-five of them in a single day.
The five hundred are only the confirmed sniper kills. Could actually be higher. Also machine gunned between a hundred and two hundred men in those hundred days, so he most likely killed at least six hundred men in one hundred days.
To me, it's just always seemed like too much of an actuall horror story to make the character sympathetic. No matter what the angle was.
The Winter War.
Soviets invaded Finland during the war.
The beating that they took was apparently part of what convinced Hitler he could attack the USSR.
Come to think of it, the Soviets supposedly took to calling him "The White Death..." during the war.
Had to google it, not a war covered in American text books on world history. According to Wikipedia started 3 months into World War 2 and lasted under 4 months, so I can see why it's little known here. I imagine he was/is considered a hero by the Finnish and a villain to the former Soviet Union aka just Russia. I mean, war is hell and he did it for his country, so I can't exactly judge him harshly - if America was invaded I'd kill as many of the invaders as I possibly could to drive them out, I think most people would be that way if they were under an invasion by an army. But even coming at it from that angle, the death toll caused by one man is uncomfortably high, even when thinking I might do the same or similar in that situation.
