Forget John Wick: Warzone players want an infamous Tropic Thunder hero as next Operator Red Hour Productions \/ ActivisionWarzone is no stranger to pop culture cameos and, after characters like Jigsaw and Rambo got love, the community has set their eyes on a new Operator. And it\u2019s a controversial one: infamous Sergeant Lincoln Osiris. Look, it\u2019s not exactly clear how well 2008\u2019s action comedy would hold up in the current sociocultural landscape. It was written by Ben Stiller and Justin Theroux, featured an industry-leading cast, and received enough controversy to make an Activision partnership feel\u2026 ambitious. Looking back on the satirical film, people weren\u2019t very fond of some jokes centered around mental disabilities. Further, there\u2019s the issue of Robert Downey Jr.\u2019s character, Sgt. Osiris, who wears blackface for practically the entire movie. But Downey Jr. has said he doesn\u2019t regret the self-aware role at all and CoD fans think Osiris would be a hilarious inclusion in Warzone, especially due to the outlandish voice lines it could come with. Even if you haven\u2019t seen the movie, you can tell just how self-reflectively ridiculous it is just from the trailer. Like a comedy, meta version of , the movie has given rise to some iconic characters. And Warzone fans are ready for Osiris to make his debut in game, even over other highly touted characters like John Wick. When \u2018Mibbens\u2019 posted the idea on Reddit, they probably weren\u2019t expecting a comment section filled with possible voice lines. \u201cCover me you limped d**k motherf**kers\u201d and \u201cwe\u2019re f**king lost, man\u201d are some of the crowd favorites. For what it\u2019s worth, RDJ has emphasized that the Osiris character isn\u2019t taken lightly. Instead, he explains that \u201cis about how wrong [blackface] is.\u201d While it\u2019s unclear if Activision would ever really bring the foul-mouthed, satirical sergeant into the fold, one thing is clear: Warzone players are ready to play as a dude who\u2019s playing as a dude disguised as another dude.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
