I don't know, guys. Revealing Monica to be Carter's mole would be too much of a repeat with plot themes. Using it again so soon in the movie following Riley's betrayal would just make it cheesy and make the writers look as if they couldn't come up with something new or original. For me, I can see Ian and Carter working together to take the family down th the deal that Shaw take Toretto and Ortiz while Verone takes Brian and Rome. I like Hobbs up to the point where they try mashing him into Brian's place.
That little thing about Brian's father being Sean's father would be an interesting little gimmick considering we don't know the actual timeline for Fast 3, Fast 5, and Fast 6. Fast and Furious was claimed to have happened five years after the events of the first movie so if we assume Fast 1 happened in 2001, then Fast and Furious happened around 2006. We can assume that 2 Fast 2 Furious happened a few months to maybe about a year after Fast 1 so roughly 2002-2003. We can try to say that maybe Fast 5 happened a year after Fast and Furious so that would land it in 2007. Baby Jack seemed kind of big and considering gestation is roughly 9-10 months and she wasn't showing in Fast five, that would put Furious 6 a year or longer after Fast 5 so that would be 2008. Tokyo Drift doesn't have a concrete reference to point it's place and Furious 7 is somewhere after that. The only problem is that Furious 7 would probably happen right after TD considering the call made at Han's death. Unless they space out TD a long time from Furious 6, they won't be able to explain Black's aging that well. By that point, Jack would have grown into at least a toddler or small child at that point.
McDanno, I don't know if you're the one reviewing on my Writing Journal but as I said before, I think it's unfair that all of the deaths are on Dom's side of the family. I think it's time that Brian's debt is paid. The only way that would happen if Rome is the one to die. When the others' died, Brian didn't have an emotional connection to them other than the emotional connection he had for Dom but other than, there's not that much invested there. Plus for me, I think the focus is too much on Dom at the moment. The thing I liked about Fast 5 was the fact that Brian became the focus for a while through Mia's pregnancy. They could start off with Rome's death in the beginning as maybe Shaw and Carter go on a manhunt to kill everyone off. Oh, heck, they could even start with Suki. Or maybe Leon if they want to keep to Dom's side of the family.
Fast 5 is still my favorite movie. Other than the stunts, I kind of easily forgot Furious 6. Vin Diesel's stunts of catching Letty and going through the front of the jet made me laugh bad in disbelief. It was so cheesy and bleh. Really for me, they dropped the ball on Dom and Letty's reunion. Ah well. Maybe I rose the bar too high after seeing the character development in Fast 5.
Good thing I have Pacific Rim to go fangirl over. I just hope that Ian Shaw is every bit as cunning and sadistic as Verone and not evil little boy like Owen Shaw was.
No, I haven't been reviewing on your journal. Unless I'm reading an actual story, I rather tend to stick to lurking :D So I don't know anything about those guys, but I sometimes copy from them ;)
While the thing with Ian and Verone teamed up was purely my own imagination, I had this thought even before I saw the sixth movie, which was on 6/19. Not that I went to share the thought with others.
Yeah, I think that since Suki is currently least likely to return unless they find another actress, maybe they could maybe have Verone mentioning her off-screen death (even though I kinda like her too), and I believe Tej would get so enraged.
Okay, I agree, maybe Monica being Carter's mole wasn't the best thought. But as a total die-hard Brian/Mia fan, I myself would rather see 1) either Monica not making an appearance or 2) either her appearing but still getting killed. Yeah, I've sorta been hatin' on her even since 2 Fast 2 Furious. Yeah, while there was UST between Brian and Mia, not that Mia was even present, I just hated Monica suddenly being all that interested in Brian, cuz I don't believe Brian would still get over Mia so soon and if he actually returned Monica's feelings, he'd be wanting to break up with her maybe at most a month later. And yeah, even though Monica isn't really part of the family as she's still a LEO, she's still more like from Brian's side.
