Well, in the movie, Denzel was like that. He'd walk into a room full of dudes and already be calculating how to murder all of them. If he was outnumbered, he'd set traps. He never fought fair.
But the problem is you can't show that much violence on network TV. Like when I was binging Mr. Robot I was shocked how much gore there was on USA. Honestly, if its about someone like that, then yeah, guns and strategy.
Seriously, all network TV is the same nowadays. Look at how its shot. Bright, bland, with a 'team', its all the identical clichés of the typical network action show. The show's only purpose is white noise around the dinner table, because its indistinguishable from all the other shows.
House only lasted so long because House was a cunt (who would have been fired about a thousand times over) and I mean, once you got bored of his demeanor it was nothing special. *Mysterious case* *gets it wrong first* *Diagnosis room scene where he calls everyone retards* *House gets into trouble* *House forces people to do B&E* *Finds out Patient is a liar, insults and berates patient* *Does insane risky expensive thing that works, House is always right* *pop Vicodin* *End show*
There, that's basically every single episode of House. It was so popular because it shifted one element of the formula, but once you tired of it and saw the formula, it was just like every other network show. I dislike House because the character's arrogance and him being unequivocally right gets real fucking old real fucking fast.
I can no longer watch Network TV. I have absolutely NO fucking clue why people would subscribe to any Network TV streaming service. It hurts my brain to watch. I think it simply exists as something to fall asleep to or for families to eat around. I don't even think its purpose is to actually be watched, but left on as white noise. USA typically has the better network shows, but that seems to be in the past. Its hard for me to think of a new (2019-2020) network show that didn't follow the same shitty formula for its genre.
