Apologies for the stupid and unnecessary censoring. I didn't make this.
I would argue the value distribution is not even tho. Im sure his iconic "motherfucker" and the movies in which he used it have contributed disproportionally more to this success. 🤓
Your showing your confirmatuon bias. Marvel earnings weigh heavily in his total box office haul and he didnt swear in any of them. I think we're gonna need more graphs, to really get to the true value of the motherfucker.
Would he have been cast for his Marvel role if he never said “motherfucker” in previous iconic roles? It’s impossible to detangle the impact of motherfucker from his success. If we could quantify the value of every word prior to his first on-screen motherfucker, and compare with his post-motherfucker value-per-word that might help support the hypothesis that motherfuckers are worth more.
Couldn't have said it better myself motherfucker.
He got a "motherfu-" in infinity war
NGL when I watched the Robocop remakes I was waiting for him to get mad and say it and I was disappointed every time his scenes ended until finally on the last one he did it, I was excited to say the least.
Samuel L. Jackson. The L stands for motherfucker.
156 movies!? That’s like 3 per year since the ‘70s! That motherfucker works hard.
And he only started working in the late 80s. And only then very infrequently.
And you're telling me that around 50.7 % of everything he said was the word "Motherfucker"? Somehow I can't believe that.
No, he didn't say that amount per movie but in all of his movies, so it's actually a very low percentage
Ah, thanks. I missed a "per movie".
I am sick of these motherfking posts on this motherfking thread
Markdown moment
using a backslash before the asterisk will prevent the markdown interpreting it
I am sick of these motherf*cking posts on this motherf*cking thread
motherf**cking thanks
So you are telling me that if we combine every scene where he says motherfucker we have half a movie?
I would watch him saying motherfucker for 2 hours straight.
But how much money did he make with the word "the"?
It's called having a personal brand, sweaty.
I am sure they have cooled off by the time they posted this XD
Why that successful li'l mtherfcker.
In Canadian and European magazines, if they are quoting someone and they used the word "fuck," then they just print it as "fuck." But in the U.S. they still print it as "fck." Nobody would guess what word they really had said. Because in America we're still too puritanical to accept that "fck" means "fuck."
What about c*m, s*men and p*ssyhole? I'm just asking questions.
I'm all for them! I just wish we could be adults in America and actually say, Cum semen and pussyhole (and fuck) without having to put these thingies *** in the middle. These thingies *** look like little assholes anyway. Won't someone please think of the children, and just print fuck if you mean "fuck?"
You're right; they do like like tiny, pitch-black anuses, don't they.
Or they could be tiny spiders! EEEEEEEK!!!
nobody does it better
Aye, but that is only the best take. He has said many more words than that.

I think it's a little higher than half.
is there a theydidthemath community on lemmy?
I found it! of course it's dead though.

Lucky motherfucker.
James Lipton interviewed him once for Inside the Actors Studio. You'll never guess what Jackson's favorite curse word is.
No worries mate, I don't understand either why they don't mention him by his full name, Samuel Leroy Jackson.
