  • the way every single Lethal Weapon badguy had a different role in the death of Mel Gibson's wife

    OkaY, I know the baddie in the 2nd film did but I don't recall the dead wife being anything of a factor in 3 and only in 4 as he was asking permission at her grave to get married again.

  • That could tie in with J. Jonah Jameson's son

    I've heard the John Jameson theory before and it worked in the animated series but I've heard nothing about it in this as yet. You'd think by now there'd be some hint outside of general fannish theorizing.

  • think it was pretty inevitable, after the second movie, that Harry would be doing this

    Knew he would be, no doubt about that. Costume changes I love aside but I'm still wodnering the little details behind it...like does he still think he communicating with his dead father while in the costumed role.

  • Pretty sure they're passing Gwen in as an alternate to his badside persona...which is really just an insult to the character.

  • Since we don't do nuclear testing anymore...

    He could've been one of those criminals that, to escape imprisonment, went over to Korea in an attempt to get away...

  • From what I know, any indication of Venom will be at the very end of the film as a teaser. Course, this is just fannish rumor so far.

  • Yeah, figured it would be a bit much to incoporate that the costume can look like anything without more development than this movie will likely allow for, what with everything else.

  • Yeah, I wondering about the whole Spiderman parade thing going on, too

    Spidey for Prez!

    To be fair, I've only seen the first three Lethal Weapon movies, when they were in the theaters, so I may be misspeaking there. I thought there was a connection to the wife in all three.

    Costume changes I love aside but I'm still wodnering the little details behind it...like does he still think he communicating with his dead father while in the costumed role.

    His dad went nuts because he used himself as a guinea pig for experimental treatment. Unless Harry gets his hands on that, rather than just putting on the suit, he should be (a) not as fast/strong as his dad was, and (b) not as freaking loopy. He's grieving for his father and feels betrayed by his best friend, but that's not quite the same as the chemically-induced insanity his father had.

    The wife is a reoccuring thing with Riggs but the only time a specific bad guy that had to do with her death was named was in the 2nd film. 1st film he thought she had simply died in a car accident.

    Did I really type wodering? Ouch!

    There were cannisters of the chemical that gave Norman his strength in the arsenal he left Harry...whether or not he uses them is another thing.
