My ideal Duke nukem plot would basically just be some hypermasculine caricature that starts a normal day and is faced with increasingly insane excuses for ultraviolence at which he performs exceedingly well.

He's not scared, He's not bored, He's not brooding, He's having a fucking day, and he's all out of bubble gum.

Despite the ever-increasing Gore and violence he never has to say or do anything problematic, just fucking brutally uncompromisingly violence against people that super duper obviously need it.

Comical masculinity instead of toxic masculinity. Nothing even needs to change about his character.
