You may think the Se-Doms dominant hollywood when it comes to action movies, but let me point out some of the strengths and weaknesses of the typical action movie Se character.
Strength: always aware if the environment, often good fighters, love adrenaline so they aren't afraid to do crazy stunts like the leap of faith.
Weaknesses: overindulgement, don't take their tasks seriously, often don't see the meaning of clues left by the bad guy.
Now, first off, these strengths apply to any action movie character and the not afraid to do crazy stunts can also be done by the seriousness of Te. Te will do anything just to prove that it can be done and are way more agressive than Se-Doms
Here's how Te makes up for Se's weaknesses:
Te doesn't stop to binge on food, women, or need a hotel to sleep in on their travels.
Te takes their tasks very seriously as long as they are getting paid
Te sees the meaning of things when paired with Ni or Ne.
And my last point is that I often see action heroes in the movies typed as Se because of their daring, action oriented style, but remember that the Se-Doms in action movies are more likely to be those old 90's action heroes that no one takes seriously. I see more of the action heroes in modern movies having the nature of Te (Terminator, Katniss, the guy from taken etc)
Of course, you can't really have an action hero without intuition, due to unexpected clues and the need to anticipate people's movements so you don't get yourself in a weak spot. Therefore the more likely action heroes are a combination of strong Te and intuition (xNTJ, ESTJ, or an ENFP with strong Te or 8 in its enneagram)
This was not meant to insult Se users, as I was referring mostly to the stereotypes you see in the movies, I realize that not all Se users are the aimless and materialistic idiots you see in the movies. The point of this thread was to explain that the action heroes you see in the movies are more likely Te than Se. Batman for example, is Te and if he was Se, he wouldn't have that serious and intimidating tone that mist action heroes have.
