I love Leverage. Eliot and Parker have the best character development.
2021-05-24 03:16:33 +0000 UTCOther than the fact that Blue sounds cute (bypassing all my Ace defenses), butI'm finally hooked to patronize based heavily on the Leverage recommendation. I literally finished watching The Librarians the night before watching this, and now I not only see how heavily Librarians references Leverage, but also the huuuuuge Doctor Who nods that also connect the two series together.

2021-04-26 17:59:57 +0000 UTCAwesome Video! Tired old people like me see similarities between Leverage and the OLD TV episodes of Mission Impossible. I can't think of an MI character who fit the Powerhouse trope though.

2021-04-24 14:35:57 +0000 UTCGreat video as always! Leverage is a great show. And Red might be interested to know that the show's creator, John Rogers, used to play Shadowrun and drew a lot of inspiration for the show's "heist team" format from that game's premise (minus the cyberpunk and urban fantasy). Elliot is basically a street samurai. :)

2021-04-23 18:47:19 +0000 UTCFantastic video ๐โค๐ A personal favorite "Powerhouse" of mine would be Erza Scarlett, who was as far as I know, never Warfed throughout the entire show and only kept getting more and more badass. (Though I haven't yet watch the last season, so I could very likely be wrong ๐ )
