The news about the exact medical condition caused the discussion to change from basic memories to specific details about human anatomy. One commenter laid it out plainly: “There’s a major artery within the shoulder/armpit area – the axillary artery. He probably went fast, but that’s a horrible way out.” The observation about Hollywood fictional elements versus actual human physical conditions developed into broader discussion. “I guess if there’s anything to glean from this, it’s that the hero wound in the movies isn’t real. Getting shot or stabbed in the shoulder can kill you in a couple of minutes.”
The thread quickly became a morbid crash course in human vulnerability. “The body needs space to exist but its size makes it impossible to avoid contact with essential elements of existence,” the user explained. The mention of 50 Cent who survived nine gunshot wounds became an inevitable counterpoint with one person dryly observing, “50 Cent enters the chat.” Another user made a darker joke about Fiddy: “Fiddy only has one major organ, the hate-bladder. And he minimises its exposure by voluminously hating.”
People began discussing Greene’s film work with his terrifying portrayal in The Mask as the main focus of their analysis. “I still remember him as the villain from The Mask,” wrote one user. “He was fantastic in that and somehow managed to hold his own opposite Jim Carrey at Peak Carrey. People wondered why his career didn’t achieve major success.

People speculated about his career problems which resulted from either typecasting or industry pressures. One person reacted with bluntness saying, “probably wouldn’t bang weinstein.”
