I thought his fans hate him today.

No.

Was he bigger than Van Damme?

It depends what you mean by "bigger." JCVD had a bigger female fan base while Seagal had a bigger male fan base, JCVD was bigger in Europe while Seagal was bigger in Latin America, JCVD was on Friends while Seagal was on Saturday Night Live. Going by box office, if you rank the 10 biggest box-office hits, they each have 5 films on the list. It just comes down to preference. For me, not only were Seagal's movies WAY better than JCVD's campy cheese-fests, but his fight scenes were infinitely superior as well. There's literally no metric where JCVD > Seagal in my book. But they were both huge action stars and massive pop culture figures particularly in the '90s.

Steven was my favorite. Better movies like you say, even though Cyborg was fucking great.

Google AI claims Van Damme was bigger.

Jean-Claude Van Damme was generally considered the more popular and globally recognized action star during the peak 1980s and 90s era, known for more critically successful, high-grossing films. While Steven Seagal had a massive, loyal following and a huge hit with Under Siege (1992), Van Damme maintained a broader, more iconic status, with films grossing over 3.3 billion

If there is anybody employing the use of Russian bot farms for anything, it's definitely this guy.

90% russian views. I wish I could see Jesses data.

I get the sense that Jeff Monson really believes in communism.

Seagal is just Putin's court jester.

Iconic scene, he did make some really good movies back then.

 

[traditionally_irreverent]

he was one of the first guys to have realistic fight scenes in movies and it looked good at the time.

i really miss the action star era of the 80s and their glorification. it was pre UFC so we didn't know any better, there were still people who thought the WWE was real, that you could kill someone with a karate chop to the temples, and the endless debates of which roided up action star could take on 20 people at the same time in a real life fight raged on. ignorance is bliss, it was better back then.

now it's a bunch bozos on a greenscreen who talk about how difficult it was getting into shape and you have an hour of behind the scenes footage of how they made the turd. the magic has been lost.

A successful fighter always knows how to pick his opponents as he climbs the ladder of competition firing on all cylinders emptying every magazine.

Steven Seagal's hairpiece has been manufactured, cobbled together, and velcro'd picked out of the highest quality shower drains from the lowest caucasus of Russia.
