My Take
Sylvester Stallone holds a stack of Razzies and a Golden Globe, and I honestly think the combination is the point. His career is a fifty-year argument that persistence beats polish: a broke writer from Hell's Kitchen who refused to sell his Rocky script unless he starred in it, then absorbed decades of critical mockery and outlived most of his critics. When he returned to the role late in life, everyone suddenly remembered he could genuinely act. I find his self-awareness underrated, too; he jokes about his flops better than anyone. That weathered face is a map of every hit he took, and that is what keeps me watching.
