#watch redemption

[leverage-ot3]

Is leverage redemption worth watching? I love Leverage but idk if i could enjoy the show if hardison isn't in most episodes or if the reboot sells out in some way.

okay so I showed up to this ask like four months late with a smoothie so I'm sorry about that BUT

does redemption have it's flaws? yes, I will be the first to admit that!

however, as someone who deeply loves leverage, the characters and what the show stands for, I still can find myself enjoying redemption.

there's one post that's in my drafts talking about the differences between the og and redemption and the so-called universe physics (how logic works in both shows and how they are the same/differ) and there are definitely some differences. there are some really good posts comparing them in the tags and I'll try to tag them as watch redemption when they come up!

I'm going to be really honest right now and say that (no shade) I feel like redemption s1-2 were lacking because john rogers was not a main writer for them. devlin and the others are great and know their stuff, but redemption was missing some of the grit (balanced with everything else) that the original run had. redemption is more fun and lighthearted (where the og was still fun and had comedic elements but also had a more jaded perspective). I think part of that change is the absence of nate as a character and what he brought to the table, but the other part of that is very much the way the show is written overall

I have seen some criticism about parker being a caricature of what she was in the original run (ex: how she goes to a child's psychologist and uses puppets sometimes, is overtly weird, more loud about stuff, etc) BUT I will say that I think there's some nuance to that

I don't think the child psychiatrist thing is infantalizing- some methods of therapy work for people more than others and that is me speaking as someone who works in mental health. if play therapy and stuff like that work for you as an adult, good for you! whatever works for you is more than enough the overtly and loudly being weird thing I really do think can be taken either way. in the original run part of parker's character progression was that she was learning how to interact with people normally (or at least more efficiently), but her being more out about that now can be taken as she is more comfortable in her skin and acting like she wants because she is surrounded by people who love and support her. maybe she doesn't want to (or have to!) mask all the time and I don't see a problem with that

HOWEVER! there are certain criticisms that are related to her characterizations and overlaps with her autism and I don't want to speak over the autism community about those aspects and how they have manifested in her character in redemption so I'm leaving it there

as for the hardison being absent aspect- I was REALLY afraid of that at first BUT the loss isn't so deeply impactful when you have characters like breanna and harry added to the mix. I went in ambivalent about harry and excited to have breanna (a canon queer) joining the team, but I have come to love and cherish both of them dearly and wouldn't want to replace them or lose them as characters in this found family ensemble. I think the writers handled aldis' packed schedule really well and even though he isn't there in most episodes, his presence is still very much around. parker and eliot talk about him and reference him when he's gone. so do sophie and breanna, even harry. he isn't on the screen but the relationships he's formed with the other characters and the impact he's had on them is very evident.

there are some takes from users about whether or not the ot3 was queerbait, un-canoned, etc in redemption. I have a lot of thoughts about it and a lot of them are incomprehensible but what I can say is that I have renewed hopes for the progression and canon development of their relationship now that john rogers is back as the main writer for s3

“First season of LEVERAGE - so he's 21 years old - he shows me his watch designs. I'm expecting, y' know, celebrity strap branding or faces. No, it's engineering schematics of GEARS and shit. Pages of them. Even then, there were none so cool.” - John Rogers

Death to Dutch van der Linde!

#red dead redemption #red dead redemption 2 #rdr #rdr2 #molly o'shea #death to dutch van der linde #I just know she was watching in such excitement #she waited twelve years to see that #I was going to redraw his corpse but I think it’s more funny if it’s just him #I cannot overstate how much I loved watching him fall #I was so excited I still can’t stop thinking about it #monologuing before suicide??? wonder who he got that idea from #fanart #digital art #my art

The most irritating thing, is that if you watch season one and then immediately watch season two, everything makes perfect sense. It's a great story. Characters that are vessels for very real emotional storylines and symbolism, but at their core, are silly pirates on a silly pirates show.

However if you watch season one, then spend a year obsessing over the characters, obsessing over characteristics, traits, relationships that are not actually canon but convincing yourself they are. Getting so wrapped up in fanon that your version of the characters and the actual written canon characters are two completely different things. Yeah of course you're gonna be pissed.

Most of the backlash from season two is because people have been reading fanfics for a year and had wildly unrealistic expectations. It's actually fucking fascinating and should be studied. It just keeps happening over and over again in every new fandom and nothing changes

#the only valid critisism ive seen is the death after redemption trope. thats a sucky bitch right there #anyway. leaving tumblr again. i remember why i hate it here. it's just infinity better watching a show without it #ofmd s2 spoilers #ofmd #our flag means death #ofmd2 #ofmd spoilers #but also izzys death flags were literally everywhere #like he was either gonna be the new captain or die. there was no inbetween

[arrgh-whatever]

#im a bit rusty so that's all i can produce for now #scavengers reign #PLEASE WATCH IT P L E A S E #i like this nasty man #hope he'll never get a redemption arc. hope he'll become worse actually

I really appreciate the fact that as bitchy and hyper-competitive as these two are, all that confidence is actually justified because they really are That Good. They don't cheat, they don't try to sabotage Fizz beyond shit talking him, they don't suck up to Mammon, they just perform their funny, slutty little hearts out.

I know Glitz and Glam are probably just going to be one-shot characters we'll never see again, buy it would be interesting to check back up on them in a year or two after Mammon has completely sucked them dry and crushed their spirits.

It’s been exactly fifteen years, two days, 4 minutes, and 33.5 seconds since the Wayne murder. Bruce can feel time crawling under his skin, like filth under fingernail, like it’s a breathing, screaming thing.

It’s an endless, infinite supply. And yet, he feels like he’s running out of it.

The details are carved deep; Alfred’s cologne lingering on both his mother’s Stefano Cabbana fur coat, Snow White and fluffy, and his father’s sharp-looking leather jacket.

The gunsmoke. The pearls bleeding on the pavement.

“Your mother wore Armani, actually.”

The Waynes are known to cheat Death, but this is getting ridiculous.

“You’re not here.”

The Riddler, — Edward. His name is Edward Nashton, 29-years-old, forsenic accountant, Bruce’s former classmate at Gotham University.

He’s just a man, not a monster, — gasps, wide eyes confused, “Who are you talking to?”

Thomas watches Bruce’s, — Batman’s hands tighten around the swamp green jacket with mildly tamed amusement. Almost like Bruce is an infant again, shaking on his first steps.

“Pretty sure I am, chum. Also, you might wanna move Eddie here to a coffee table. That shit looks sturdy. YOU were made on one, I think,—“

He cringes, but does as he’s told. Edward’s coffee screeches when Batman slams him across it like loose change, “I’d rather not think about that.”

“Honey, it’s a very romantic story, and I resent Alfred for not talking to you about it. Now go grab a drill and some duct tape. Oh, don’t make that face, — His adrenaline levels are higher than a fucking drop head.”

Bruce doesn’t want to do it. Something just compels him to. Thomas scoffs but Bruce is too focused on the drill biting through bone to notice. Edward doesn’t feel any pain. He’s just under the illusion of it, which seems much crueler.

“You would’ve KNOWN that if you stayed in school. “

“Why are you here?”

“Now that,” His father’s smile is a serpentine, alluring and full thoothed and stained with Maverick cigarettes. His hair is slicked, crowned by red lensed sunglasses.

He looked for a dead man. “Is a smart guy question.”

—

He doesn’t sleep. He can’t.

“Your father was a hundred different things, “ Alfred sighs at him, stitching up his wounds in a tight, secure pattern. Thomas’. The ghost of the hour. “And I never understood any of them.”

Bruce is about to ask more, expand a stream of curiosity, when footsteps bang against the cave’s massive interior.

He knows each child by foot, by volume, by rhythm.

He’d know Jason dead or alive.

He’s about to greet him, choosing to ignore his father’s ghost flirting with an unsuspecting Alfred, when his baby bird beats him to it.

“Why the fuck is your dead mom following me?”

the found family trope is inherently queer and you can’t change my mind

Hey remember when Sophie’s feral gremlin children were like “hey mom :) pick out anything you want :) we want to cheer you up.” And Sophie was like “I want to kidnap this messed up lawyer.” And Sophie’s kids were like “ok!!!!!!! We love a kidnapping!!!!”

#yes I’m watching redemption again #they’re getting more unhinged as they age #your honor I love them #leverage #leverage redemption

I'd like to say that I love your art but never really saw the older stuff where Machete is just getting the shit kicked out of him by a homophobic universe so I only know your cute gay dogs as operatically dramatic dudes getting into Situations that only homosexuality can save them from.

.

#Machete has a long history of getting the shit kicked out of him #it's still funny to me that there's now a significant amount of people that got to know him as one half of the cute gay dog duo #he's an angsty venty edgy misery sink of a character #folks that have followed my work for years have watched him get stabbed eviscerated and beheaded on the regular #this redemption arc of finding hope and love and coffee shops is a new development #answered #anonymous #I personally enjoy the boyfriend shenanigans greatly I'm unironically happy for them

[abubblingcandle]

One of my favourite things on Leverage is when Eliot gets to grift and just plays the most unhinged guy and seems to have the most fun doing it

#watching the episode in redemption where he gets to be the beekeeper #like there was no need to go that hard #leverage #eliot spencer #leverage redemption

Nothin' like having a cigarette and lovingly watching your boybest friend beat the shit out of a guy <3

#jokes aside I love how charles knew that arthur could handle it himself and just watched #he trusts arthur #charles just lets arthur get on because he knows he can do it #same with the tracking #sure charles could have tracked trelawny but he let arthur take the lead because he trusted him and likely thought he could use the practic #how sweet :') #rdr2 #red dead redemption 2 #mick squeaks #arthur morgan #charles smith #I have a big backlog of posts so stuff might not be in chronological order<\3
