I think this is the way a lot of stuff Stallone is cast in, thin plot but fun. He's stayed relevant with this angle into his late seventies while many of his contemporaries in action stuff did not

Yeah I think part of Stalone's charm is he kinda can lean into his goofy old guy schitck and kinda be in on the joke a little? Like in Balboa when he goes to fight the new fighter and his intro music is old timey stuff. He rolls with it but it's a little tongue in cheek and it's nice he doesn't take himself too seriously.
