Well, at the very least, it doesn't look campily homoerotic.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The thing about WW having to be white -- is Bullseye not a "known" enough character for it to matter? What about the current Ving Rhames Kojak thing? I'm not saying it's likely, but I don't think it's impossible. Of course, a non-white WW still wouldn't lead to Gina Torres getting the part.

Though I can see the potential for Liam Neeson and Christian Bale to bring a sort of master/student homoerotic pain to it.
I would be okay with that.
Just no Bat Shark Repellant.

Oh.
GUH.
Broken now.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Why couldn't they have waited to get rid of the campy homoeroticism until a few movies after Christian Bale joined the franchise?

I'm still in a Liam Neeson/Christian Bale place. Because Liam Neeson/Peter Sarsgaard in Kinsey = HOTTTTT.

Not Bullseye -- Kingpin. And probably not, although I did hear people bitch about the PCness (of casting a black guy as a criminal -- so right).
Matt, do you need it to be campy? Can't it just be fraught?

Oh yeah, der.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
With Christian Bale in the mix, any homoeroticism will more likely be filled with angst than camp. Which is just fine with me.
