Why Rambo's Creator Hated Last Blood
Here's why author David Morrell, who created the character of Rambo with his novel First Blood, hated 2019's Rambo: Last Blood. Morrell's First Blood was published in 1972 and followed a Vietnam vet suffering from severe PTSD who wages a bloody war on a small town after being abused by its bullying sheriff. The John Rambo seen in the book had no trouble killing those he perceived as a threat, and in the end, he's shot dead by his former mentor.
