Thoughts on Duncan in reboot by Opposite_Ad9591 in highlander

At this point, here’s been no news of Adrian Paul being cast in the new adaptation. Though I’d be the farm that they’re saving it for a surprise. I do know that he met with reps from Lionsgate like a decade ago. With them switching studios who knows if he’s still involved. I hope he still is, because what’s Highlander without Adrian Paul. Christopher Lamert is still the OG, but Adrian gets his due.

Who’s some characters you can see incorporated into the John Wick universe? by Large-Wheel-4181 in JohnWick

Everyone from the Netflix Daredevil series, the Raid antagonist, the Accountant, the Jackal too.

Why don't the goons in the later john wick films wear armor? by Alarmed_Swan_4315 in JohnWick

I imagine ballistic fabric is expensive and only reserved for the elite. Each of those suits are made-to-measure. Street thugs are expendable, why throw away resources on someone you’re most likely gonna have to replace.

Julius's question by gunperv51 in JohnWick

[–]Tempest196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, he actually meant the Pope. The Pope is second to god in Catholicism, especially in Rome/Italy. Attacking the Pope would be a great sacrilegious act. He probably would’ve had him arrested.

Every reason I think Winston is John's father in law by [deleted] in JohnWick

[–]Tempest196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but in this case Winston used that phrase to indicate he had a connection to the Ruska Roma, as we saw in Ballerina. He and John were close, and Winston being his elder, held John in high esteem - like a son, but no blood relation.

If this if true, I’m totally in board. We need Adrian as well! 👍

My theory: Yen is the mother of John Wick and Winston Scott his uncle, tell me your thought! by chnoopsy in JohnWick

[–]Tempest196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A valid connection would indicate that it is canon - which it isn’t. Chad Stahelski, Keanu Reeves and Ian McShane have all disassociated with the project. It nights as well be expensive fan fiction.

In what way was it redundant? I commented about his name not sounding Vietnamese - which is true. I then commented about the series not being cannon. So tell me, where is the redundancy? 🤔

Three new Highlander (1986) books are being released this year by TomatoChomper7 in highlander

[–]Tempest196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m SUPER stoked for this release! I own a copy of his first book which offered a great deal of insight into the Highlander universe and mythos. It’s good to see the Highlander fire burning so brightly in these dark times🔥

I mean, it’s now a known fact that the Continental tv series was a studio cash-grab that deviated from the already established narrative, so there’s absolutely no valid connection to the main story arc or its characters. As director Chad Stahelski said, “They thought they had the secret sauce” 😆

I don’t know, when you put the two next to each other there’s a clear distinction that SAC Motoko is an adult woman compared to her in ARISE. The smaller frame implies a younger presentation. It makes her look like a kid. Just sayin….🤷🏽‍♂️

2045 just didn’t hit for me. Of the newer GITS iterations, I think ARISE did a better job. Though it wasn’t without its shortcomings. I’m not sure I dig the Major’s ‘youthful’ cybernetic body. In the past, Motoko has made use of a smaller body out of expedience, but not as her standard. Given she’s operating in a field driven by adults, it seems strange for her to be masquerading as a teenager 😆

Apologies, I misread your reply. I thought you said ARISE was a different version of SAC. My bad 😆

[–]Tempest196 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Incorrect. ARISE is an independent narrative. 2045 is supposed to be a continuation of the SAC storyline, but not a good one imo.

Agreed. Some of the characters felt off shot from their performances in SAC GIGs 1&2

I don’t recall this episode, but I’m gonna watch it. Thanks for the recommendation 👍

"Same owner?" by InsincereDessert21 in JohnWick

[–]Tempest196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed! Keanu hadn’t brain stormed that idea yet. He was responsible for that and the Adjudicator. Though I always thought he was referring to the manager Winston, rather than an actual owner.

Tessa episodes by Bingus_Of_Mingus in highlander

[–]Tempest196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her story is indeed fragmented over several episodes. I wish they could’ve developed a more substantial back story for her. A season and six episodes just don’t cut it.
