eliot. eliooooooooot. eliot spencer. he's a Lone Wolf he only works alone he's the most dangerous man alive. out of the whole team, he has the most actual friends that appear on-screen. he's the most likely of all of them to adapt well to a "normal" life. he winds up buddy-buddy with the guy who broke his ribs the first time they met. he's a not-so-secret romantic who buys flowers for his friends' partners under their names. he will fully risk the job just to help out a child in danger. basically unprompted, he describes in detail the kind of father he wants hardison to write his 'blogger dad' character as, like it's something he's thought about before. he has a clearly bursting at the seams need to be casually physically affectionate with the people he's closest to that's only held back by a thin layer of 2000s masculinity and Bro Code behavior. may (true love) always prevail.

I need to take big cartoon bites out of him.

Stiles: Peter saved my life. Twice! Peter: Once. And a half. Scott: How do you half save someone's life? Peter: I was the one that was sent to kill him, so I figure that only counts as half, right? Scott: That actually makes sense.

Menelaus: So, what, that was plan Beta?

Odysseus: No, no, that's, ah, that's plan Mu.

Ajax the Greater: Don't I die in plan Mu?

Odysseus: Yeah, usually.

Ajax the Greater: What you mean, usually? How many plans do I die in?

Odysseus: Gamma, Zeta, aaaaaannnnnnd Mu through Pi.

Ajax the Greater: Gamma, that's a little close to home. You need to switch that up. How many plans does Nestor die in?

Odysseus: None. And Menelaus none. And Agamemnon… nnehh. So there is a plan where Diomedes comes out of it with a scar from the temple through the eye all the way down to his mouth-

Diomdes: Oh, that sounds really cool, actually.

Agamemnon: Wait, wait, wait, go back, hold on, let's-let's rewind--you skipped past me! You skipped past me.

Odysseus: Well, I have one, there is a plan, but it's evolving.

Agamemnon: Okay, that's creepy. Don't you think that's creepy? He’s planning my death.

I once saw someone saying that in Redemption, the team basically have superpowers, and that feels true to me. Every con in the og could be pulled off by anyone with the right skill, maybe an insane amount of skill, but still.

Also it feels like they took Parker from realistic (if possibly accidental) autistic person, to doing weird things for the sake of it. Like stabbing watermelons for no reason and going to a child therapist? They took away a lot of her maturity.

Here is the thing about Parker. In Leverage, she does some wild stuff. She is written in such a way that she is absolutely not neurotypical. Which means, she isn’t great at social situations (Juror Number 6 Job). She copes in a certain way (There are so many options for this actually). She doesn’t like when her routine is disrupted (Mile High Job, Ice Man job). But all of those things that make her ✨quirky✨ and a little bit insane are a mask. We actually know that she is incredibly observant. She does have emotions and we see them play out in a lot of fascinating ways. She is mature, BUT she chooses to act a certain way as a protective measure for herself. We KNOW that she can handle actual situations. So when she doesn’t have to be entirely serious, she will be a little bit weird so that she can still protect herself.

Redemption is not that. Redemption has her just being a little insane for the sake of being a little insane. Redemption doesn’t know what to do with the incredibly complex characters it picked up. They fundamentally misunderstand them and it just comes off as Parker being insane little gremlin.
