Duke Nukem doesn't really fit in the modern world, except as the poster boy of toxic masculinity. As much as I like the OG games for the gameplay, I don't see the character working now unless they change him dramatically.
I dunno, it was pretty over the top back then already. Just lean into it, put him across some ultra feminist and let them both grow from it. Similar to Austin Powers. I think Civvie said something along those lines in his DN Forever video.
you made me watch a film length amount of yt videos, I didn't catch the Austin powers thing.
I did hear something that sounded like it was out of JazzPunk though https://youtu.be/HZht1yRZ4Yg?t=1342
