anonymous asked:

Why does Solo ask Sanders if he is a little tired this morning? I never got that

From my understanding, it was Solo being a little tongue-in-cheek. Sanders was being grumpy about the German people (West Germany), in his opinion, being ungrateful to America, but he believes that inside them all, there’s a potential American. Solo’s facial expression was a bit of a ‘oh, gosh, where is this coming from?’ which prompts him to say “a little tired this morning, sir” which if I were to translate that in to modern speech would be “DID YOU HAVE A NAP TODAY?” But idk. That’s just how I took it—could be wrong!

anonymous asked:

An animated man from uncle film would be cool. The art style would be like Archer or Yellow Submarine. Realistically I wouldn’t mind just reading the script.

Yeah, having a new script would just be the best! Which voice actors do you think would fit?

anonymous asked:

Armie is basic/thirsty and Alicia is boring so I'd be ecstatic if they made TMFU into an animated series, maybe with a style like Archer but more serious.

Can’t totally disagree with that (Armie as Illya is probably the only role I think he’s been good in oops.) An animated serious would be interesting. I just adore tmfu characters so much. I’d like a TV series that was a mix of Person of Interest (in its seriousness) and Leverage.

anonymous asked:

There's a good biography by a real life KGB defector called 'Next Stop Execution' that goes into detail about life as a KGB officer/double agent and the writer's ultimate decision to defect to the West in the 1980s and how he goes about doing it. About 10 years after publishing the book and 20 years after defecting the Russian government still tried to poison the guy. Life as a KGB defector would never bring anyone peace.

Thanks for the recommendation! I’ve have to take a look at the book. Sounds like defecting would make Illya’s life far more difficult! Doesn’t sound like there would ever truly be a win scenario for him… he’d always have to look over his shoulder… I wonder what would motivate him to believe defecting was his best option….

anonymous asked:

Why do you think the movie didn’t get a lot of attention and a sequel

There are probably a lot of factors involved that I don’t know about like, like marketing, or something. Maybe because the lead cast weren’t all considered A list actors (Tom Cruise was supposed to play the role of Solo, which I’m so glad that didn’t happen, but a lot of people would have watched because of Tom Cruise). I think the main problem (if you can call it that) I see with movie (mind you, I love the movie, but I’m also a script editor) is that:

There is no strong overarching theme introduced.

You could make the case that it was about loyalty, or perhaps family? Maybe? But it’s not really strong. The audience it’s left with a conclusion to a story theme.

Predictable plot twist

Most people I’ve talked to about the movie say they saw it coming that Gaby was going to betray them/be a spy.

Simple plot.

American must team up with Russian to stop a criminal organization from acquiring an atom bomb. Find bomb, stop bad guys. Done. And there weren’t many strong subplots.

Here’s the thing though, what this tells me is that the movie wasn’t written like a movie—it was written like a TV pilot. Good TV pilots have simple plots because, like a show like The Man From UNCLE or Leverage or Doctor Who or a detective show, you want it to be character driven and to be able to “reset to zero” at the end of each episode. That’s why tmfu fandom has so many great headcanons and fanfics—because you have a lot of freedom to go places with the characters but still reset the story to zero at the end of the adventure. You don’t have to do the same general problem every episode (like season 1 of Stranger Things, for instance, there is something about the Upside Down or the Demogorgon or Eleven every episode that needs to be addressed.) In The Man From UNCLE, you can have a story about finding a bomb in Italy one movie/episode, and another dealing with a problem completely different in Istanbul, to stopping criminals in Minnesota. Another factor with the movie, I find, as mentioned before, is that it is very character focused. There are a lot of tiny details about the characters that might be left out of streamlined in a movie script. Again, great for TV, but not always great for a movie (I’m being general, not all movies and tv shows are like that, but there is a certain consensus on what audiences prefer to watch or rewatch). Movies are more about plot/theme. TV is more about character. If the movie have been a TV pilot, it would be on season 6 by now.

Idk, I’m rambling 

sorry.
