Yeah, if made in last 10 years, they might have turned Aragorn into some kind of Conan the Barbarian ripoff. Not necessarily, for example, RDJ’s Iron Man has a lot of complex emotions and nice arc. But, they could. I mean, look at Galadriel in Rings of Power.

I can only tell if men are friends if they share a bicep-flexed hand clasp.
They need to shoulder bump too, otherwise they could just be former colleagues or perhaps two men who met for the first time yesterday.
Maybe an ass-tap just to be certain. A chest smooch couldn’t hurt either.
