I bring a real "many female characters also have these traits you love male characters for" and "many of your fave male characters have done the same things you hate female characters for" vibe to the conversation they female character haters don't enjoy

Renew Leverage: Redemption for a 4th season
Dean Devlin has said he is looking for a new home for the show. You can help by showing that Leverage has a strong, loyal fanbase and anyone who rescues it would have an instant audience. One way is to sign up here, numbers count. Share the petition, make some noise on socials and keep watching. Get those viewer figures off the charts!
It's 2am where i'm at.
Leverage redemption will not be picked up for a 4th season by Amazon. despite its high ratings and topping the charts.
Big company afraid of the anti-big company show.
I'm not afraid that leverage is dead. it will be back. in some form or another. fuck, i would watch it if it was filmed on Gina Bellman's phone.
this is a call to action. let people know. be loud. be respectful. and,
Let's go steal a season 4
Also as much as I love the idea of Sophie stealing herself a guy in Harry I equally love the idea of Harry stealing himself a Sophie.
Like imagine he takes her to a fancy party under the guise of it being for research on a mark or grifting practice and then just being like "I wanted to spend time alone with you". Just Harry conning Sophie into a date with him
I want this SO BAD🥺

Chapter 8: Tender moments and shocking revelations...
Hi, I’m the worst and forgot to post this here again😅
Why is this actually such a good summary of both of their teaching styles though?
Sophie came from an environment where street smarts saved your skin, you didn't study; you did. I mean, you can't exactly learn out of a book how to take a car hit or steal a painting. Over time, she gradually refined her techniques by running scams and stealing priceless artifacts until she became the best. That's not to negate the loads of research she probably did to get as good as she is, but as we see in Tournament Job, a lot of the time she is able to con without much preparation at all.
So it makes sense when she's teaching Parker, Hardison, Harry, Breanna, and even Maggie how to grift that she doesn't actually grift on their behalf or by having them follow behind her when she plays a character. She gives them a few suggestions and lets them try it out for themselves. This also relates to non-grifting teaching as well, like when she's teaching the crew about the nature of smuggled artifacts in The King George Job. She allows for each crew member to tell their observations about the statue of Ra before she details why that's significant. With Sophie, you learn and you con by doing.
Eliot came from a sports and military background, where you receive a looooot of feedback, a lot of the time in insult or brutal honesty. Depending on the person, feedback combined with further training and repetition can lead to solid improvement. You best believe that Eliot has taken every piece of advice to heart so that he could be the best. He has cultivated his skills through many different facets, namely in black ops, retrieval assignments, and culinary school. We see evidence of the years of training and experience in every single episode. With Eliot, you learn and you con by honesty (ironically) and correction.
So again, it makes sense that Eliot's the most brutally honest out of the whole crew and uses that to his advantage when teaching. Because he calls the crew out on their individual shit, it allows for them to assess dangerous or painful situations accurately and work together to evade or conquer. They improve because of his feedback. That's not to say that Eliot is not an incredibly gifted teacher or that he doesn't tune his feedback to who he's teaching (I love how gentle he is with kids and Parker for example), but he doesn't sugarcoat to spare people's feelings. He wants them to succeed, but he's not above knocking them out in the name of showing them proper technique to do so. We see this time and time again with his interactions with Hardison and Nate.
But what I do love is that both of them praise the crew ALL. THE. TIME. It starts as early as The Bank Shot Job where Sophie praises Parker's baby grifter attempts and obviously Eliot boosts morale through the entire original show. This carries all the way through Redemption, they really can't not hype their family up and it is so so fun to see. Especially considering that they probably didn't receive much positive validation in the years that made them great.
IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE
now every time harry wilson does something beautifully absurd or wears the World’s Worst Wigs we get to say “portrayed by EMMY AWARD WINNER NOAH WYLE”-
Don’t mind me just getting emotional over the thought of Breanna trying to impress Sophie so much in the beginning because, even though she and Hardison had Nana, she probably grew up learning about the mother figure Sophie became to Hardison and how important she was to him and Breanna wanted to experience that relationship too. It’s fine. I’m fine.
And then to see how much their relationship has grown in just a few seasons. The way that Breanna now gets to have her own unique relationship with Sophie and experience her mother figure tendencies for herself. I’M NOT CRYING, YOU’RE CRYING.
everyone in the 100 uses one braincell and they bounce it around like idiots until clarke gets fed up and uses it herself to make an actual good decision and everyone gets so butt hurt like oh please you’re just mad because she took the braincell from you because you were using it like a bouncy ball
literally everyone: clarke please save us!
clarke: okay but to do that i have to make a tough adult decision and i may have to hurt others for the greater good of my people
literally everyone: fuk u we don’t need your help also we hate you
clarke:
i gotta say if leverage redemption isnt using this recurring “our mr. wilson” as a buildup to sophie finally saying “my mr. wilson” i don’t know what the point of any of it is
