Ironic. A movie exposing the horrors of war and their legal and marketing teams are worried about having "born to kill" on the cover. Don't look too close, you might see what actual war is like .
- It's one of the dumbest things about American culture.
  
  We have such unique choices about what is acceptable and what isn't in our entertainment.
  
  Curse words? Bad.
  
  Violence? Okay.
  
  Nipple? Bad.
  
  Guns? Okay.
  
  Yeah but remember the 80's where cartoons couldn't have any real violence in them at all?
  
  He-man Thundercats. Hell Transformers only got away with the violence level it did because they were robots shooting lasers.
  
  It is so hypocritical that we're constantly told violence and confrontation is never the answer. Laws are passed making it illegal to even defend ourselves. And then 90% of the movies and TV shows are about the glorification of crime, and violence, often with egregious gun usage.
  
  It's not arbitrary. Guns and violence are okay because America wants to normalize them joining the army and using them for their imperialism.
  
  Can't even call a toilet a toilet. It's a bathroom or restroom.
The worst thing about the streaming era is that the art is constantly altered. Soundtracks changed, episodes removed, and mindless censorship.
- Yo ho
- What are you streaming? I don't have that issue streaming from torrents.
Youtube version: “Born to un-alive”
I guess the executives at Amazon really missed the entire point of the movie. They definitely missed the scene where the fucking words from the helmet and conflicting peace symbol were explained during an awesome conversation between Joker and his commanding officer.

"The duality of man sir!"

"Private, you better pull your head out of your ass and get your head in the game, or I will take a giant shit on you!"
What the actual fuck. How is that even legal?
- Permanently Deleted
  
  Not sure how a contact like that would look like our of anyone would sign that. After all, that would mean they could alter your work to whatever. What if they add a swastika to the forehead of someone? I doubt it.
