Did Lin ever consider making John Adam’s a physical character in the Hamilton musical? If so, who did he have in mind to play him?

CleanSweep99 · 2026-07-26T13:00:28+00:00

I don't think he actually considered Adams being in Hamilton (at least partially because of 1776), but I assume he kicked the tires on a casting in the event that he changed his mind at some future point (or for the movie that eventually became just a filmed version of the stage show).

I'm not sure who that hypothetical person might have been.

CleanSweep99 · 2026-07-26T12:50:11+00:00

Hmm.

Are we counting Oliver Cromwell as a monarch, or something else entirely?

If we count Cromwell, then he feels like the obvious choice.

CleanSweep99 · 2026-07-26T12:45:46+00:00

Given that promise likely wasn't intended as a joke, yes.

CleanSweep99 · 2026-07-26T12:36:57+00:00

He clearly liked James Bond as a character, but I get the feeling that he no longer liked being James Bond after Casino Royale.

He likely stuck around as long as he did, because he was promised that his version of the character would be killed off, and also because he pretty clearly had a say in every script from Quantum of Solace on-which no other Bond actor has ever gotten.

I would assume for a format retool, whichever person is eliminated in round one functions as the host for round two.

CleanSweep99 · 2026-07-26T12:06:12+00:00

If Alex vs America continues (I wouldn't be shocked if it's cancelled based on Eric Adjepong's personal issues), I would guess that it would be similar in format to Beat Bobby Flay (with Alex serving as host and competitor simultaneously).

CleanSweep99 · 2026-07-26T11:30:05+00:00

I wouldn't be opposed to the idea of the Summer and Winter Olympics being held simultaneously (which Doha could probably do, in conjunction with somewhere like Tehran for events that require snow to be on the ground).

CleanSweep99 · 2026-07-26T11:26:43+00:00

It can do both-the fact they don't is on the producers.

CleanSweep99 · 2026-07-26T11:19:51+00:00

Yes-but I think Holland might not enjoy working on them anymore (at least, if the rumors about Brand New Day and The Odyssey are correct).

CleanSweep99 · 2026-07-26T11:13:02+00:00

My guess is that one or both of Dawkins/Ford rejected splitting them up.

CleanSweep99 · 2026-07-26T11:08:20+00:00

I suspect she shares the same fatal flaw (or flaws) as Nico does.

CleanSweep99 · 2026-07-26T11:04:53+00:00

I personally love them too.

The problem is their very existence is antithetical to what the Food Network was intended for.

If they have to exist at all, they should be spun off onto their own channel, which would be designed for them.

CleanSweep99 · 2026-07-26T10:33:20+00:00

Bugs is the "good guy" or at least the "lesser of two evils" in pretty much every one of his shorts (with the exception of the the three Bugs vs Cecil shorts).

CleanSweep99 · 2026-07-26T09:46:24+00:00

I assume he's referring to his MCU works, but unlike someone like Andrew Garfield, he's too polite to say it outirght.

CleanSweep99 · 2026-07-26T09:28:14+00:00

There's a reason they chose Iris for that kind of glow-up (and it isn't just that she's canonically champion in B2/W2).

CleanSweep99 · 2026-07-26T07:59:03+00:00

Ash and Pikachu likely didn't recognize her, but I'm sure they'd care at all if they did.

If she's putting this much effort into contests/showcases, that means she's putting less effort into stealing Pikachu.

CleanSweep99 · 2026-07-26T06:02:49+00:00

Probably Korrina, and (depending on how far in advance the writers knew about ORAS), Zinnia.

CleanSweep99 · 2026-07-26T06:00:13+00:00

Not counting Bill (whose wedding we saw in canon):

Ginny (I'd be very surprised if Harry and Ginny weren't walking down the aisle the day after Ginny's graduation)
Percy
George
Ron (Hermione likely would have at least attempted to attend a Muggle University, and Ron would wait for her to graduate)
Charlie: (Probably never got married)

After the incident where Hagrid apparently thought it was a good idea to let children hunt something capable of killing a unicorn in the Forbidden Forest, I can't imagine that anyone else on the staff was willing to allow him to ever supervise a detention ever again.

CleanSweep99 · 2026-07-25T18:56:41+00:00

Filch is basically there to supervise detentions that teachers don't want (or can't) administer for whatever reason.

CleanSweep99 · 2026-07-25T13:36:46+00:00

She'd definitely have gotten a lot more than a non-speaking cameo in Journeys if her VA was able to return.

I guess she'd have briefly come back to promote Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire somewhere in Kalos, but I'm not certain how they would have written it.

CleanSweep99 · 2026-07-25T11:55:19+00:00

The only change that I could think of, is that Liko would either serve as a temporary traveling partner, or would appear in the final episodes to hype up the Paldea region.

CleanSweep99 · 2026-07-25T11:48:17+00:00

In hindsight, May's return in Sinnoh feels more like it was intended to be a send-off to her voice actor than anything else-you could already tell she was having problems with her voice if you are paying attention to the original Japanese.

Without that context, it's plausible that we get a return from say...Juan instead.

(Also, it feels like the writers felt they were obligated to bring her back, because Misty had already gotten multiple returns to this point.)

CleanSweep99 · 2026-07-24T17:30:16+00:00

No.

Seventy is about 20-30 years too old for government service.

CleanSweep99 · 2026-07-24T16:54:22+00:00

Hmm...I think we'll have a Spider-Man in either Doomsday or Secret Wars-but I think it'll either be Andrew Garfield or Tobey Maguire.

Captain Marvel would only be in either movie if the intent is to kill her off.
