It’s so true and obvious lately I feel like. So many shows I watch and can pick up the patterns when a side character is about to get offed. Like a red shirt but via dialog instead of apparel lol

In episodic shows (crime, drama etc) it's also typically a give away if a role is played by a known actor.

Lately? That was a repeated meme every week on Lost.

It's a trend recently started by the ancient Greeks.

😂😂 I forgot about lost.

It's the same for reality competition shows too. If someone is getting more front time camera spots then the rest of the competition early on in the show you can typically bank that they are going home that episode.

Stargate SG-1 was nerve wracking, worrying about Walter’s safety every time he showed up just a bit too much. I kept expecting him to bite it from some staff blasts through the gate or something.

Then the ‘Heroes’ episodes happened and blindsided me.

Or when the fan favorite bit player suddenly gets a lot more lines and screentime, thus completely destroying the minimalist charm they originally had.

Boba Fett.

He was literally the "No, disintegrations!" Guy.

Growing up, I liked the version of Boba Fett in the EU. He was a combination of Mad Max, The Man With No Name, and Batman. Unstoppable, but utterly isolated and paranoid. There was no line between him and the work, he didn’t have a personal life.

He has gadgets within gadgets. Traps. Tricks. He knows where all the bodies are buried, because he put them there.

Somewhere I saw the picture of the ESB Boba Fett actor on set and absolutely accepted it as how Fett looked under the helmet.

He showed up just enough in the EU to create the idea of a character without ruining the mystique.

I alternately accept Morrison as a worthy Fett, and I like the idea that he seems to have for the take, but I can’t get behind Disney trying to awkwardly rewrite him as a full on good guy and shoving him into the limelight.

Now he's some sort of heroic crime boss.

[-] gens@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Looks like punisher.

[-] lorty@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

It's a scene from the punisher's show on Netflix
