Speaking of fictional characters who would eat the Paradise fictional characters for breakfast. I just started rewatching Leverage Redemption to get ready for the new season and. Kane Bradford would get his shit comprehensively wrecked by any given Leverage team. If Mr. 'the world deserves to know' had had Leverage International to reach out to before he fully spiraled that shit would have been shut down. Like, 'hey workers are getting poisoned on this project and I got canned for raising the danger, and there's shady shit going on' is like. Yeah that checks out as a Leverage client pitch to the point that I'm not sure that that doesn't summarize a Leverage client pitch or two. The shady shit of Sinatra being behind Kane Bradford's company's work and Very Invested and it not being what it seems would be an act two rug pull where they have to change the con and the mark, but they'd still pull it off, stop the project and get the money for the workers' medical treatment and their families.

... Then you still have the incoming disaster which. Well. 'let's go steal a supervolcano' would be a new one.

#hardison's in space on a satellite i mean. give redemption 6 seasons and a movie and they could escalate to that point.#id rather they didn't personally and in doubt they would - as much as redemption is a bit more willing to take a bit more license #they still get the this is about the little guy. hardison is doing his stuff bc of certain bigger pictures that need a birds eye view #but the individual teams are about the little guy. though we still have tension with that #with breanna pointing out problems that still continue in the bigger picture #and i will be interested with what they do with that tension because i think it's interesting #but if you're writing fic you could tell me hardison and breanna and a bunch of scientists connected by leverage international #solved the problem of a supervolcano and I'd roll with it #the alternative is you do a genre shift of the team into post apocalyptic fiction #which could also be interesting for different reasons #theyve stolen the department of defense taken down elected officials including the president of a small country stopped a bioterror attack #and that's all just in leverage. they'll be fine.#something something a billionaire bunker run by billionaires on a puppeted system and with all handpicked people #to maintain perfect order and normalcy. everything about keep the calm over tell the truth.#the antithesis of Nate's leverage finale monologue. justice or order. someday you will have yo make a choice. (and leverage chooses justice)#squire in [redacted] colorado #paradise hulu spoilers #do i have a tag for leverage blogging?#squire watches leverage #will do for now
