I am not sure that the term 'auteur theory' applies in connection to 'Seagalogy', which focuses on Seagal's various roles as actor. The closing credits for 'Today you Die,' for instance, lists a unit-producer first, and not director. In most of the of the films listed in this article Seagal does not have a director credit. 2600:6C54:77F0:7880:EC23:2F17:CCAE:BDFE ( talk) 03:58, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
I agree that the tone of this article appears to downplay the validity of allegations against Seagal and reads like a PR defense campaign. Each of the criticisms are presented as one would expect legal defenses to be written: "Here is a watered-down recap of the accusation, and here is an explainer on why that accusation has been rendered invalid or irrelevant."
I suspect a PR entity or Russian friends have locked-down the narrative here. This reads like it is essentially a fan page and resumé for Mr. Seagal's accomplisments, not an objective encyclopedic article, which would include a comprehensive array of critical perspectives. navkat ( talk) 18:08, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
The IPA pronunciation for his last name is correct, but the layman version next to it is wrong. (SEH-gull) would sound like the words “say gull.” Alexandermoir ( talk) 23:27, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
