There’s a humorous, satirical news story produced by The Onion, where the US Supreme Court rules that the death penalty is “totally badass”. And it is, even though badass-ness is not a criteria to decide the death penalty’s legality.
As badass as shooting a fish in a barrel. Which is to say, no, not really.
Not “badass” in the sense of jumping a motorcycle into a helicopter, bailing at the last moment, and landing safely in a rooftop swimming pool. But badass in the sense of atavistic, ceremonial, conducive to a kind of gravitas. I’m pretty sure there are more executions in movies than wasting-away-for-70-years-in-prison.
