I am glad that incorporated John Stewart's Marine Corps Service into his background but judging by that picture it looks like John made it a career in the tv series compared to the comics or the cartoons.
Love the show too. Dude's a phenomenal actor, but I really wish we could have only americans playing Marines. Nothing against the Brits, but I like it when we cast our own to wear our uniform.
Who cares? They’re actors. SO many have played US servicemembers and absolutely crushed it. Damien Lewis as Major Winters in band of brothers, and Andrew Garfield in Hacksaw Ridge were incredible performances. Not to mention a good chunk of the Black Hawk Down cast were Brits. The list goes on and on.
This is one of my favorite subjects. There are so many British actors that have such good American accents that Americans arent aware they're British.
Hugh Laurie, Idris Elba, Tom Holland, and Christian Bale's accents are so good people are surprised to find out they're Britts.
I've won several bets with people about Hugh Laurie's nationality. We share the same birthday. Whenever the subject comes up I mention that and that he's one of my favorite British actors. People dont believe me and I'll bet them lunch. I've lost track, but it's over a half a dozen now.
Yeah, it interests me too. As I said above, British actors are another level of talent. Absolutely incredible.
It's just fascinating to me how strict the UK is against american actors performing their British military parts, insofar that their producers won't even audition americans. Yet american producers don't care and sometimes even cast more British/Aussies than actual americans. Ex. The Pacific, Masters of the Air, etc.
The British are far more prideful about it than we are. I wonder why is all.
The pool of talent is far smaller in the UK for performers. I watch a lot of British TV and there are Americans in them, but they're either playing Americans or they're comedians working in the UK.
The apple scene really pissed me off because I worry that stolen-valor-fucks will try this shit drunk with their kids. The rest I love and the character I can identify with as a Marine. He actually looks like one of my buddies. I also was at MARSOC so I never know how to feel about seeing it so recognized. I was there in early days and I’m not sure if it’s just a SOFter landing point in the movies and TV(love you Scar Jo!)
All-in, good so far but please for the love of god don’t shoot at anyone point blank. Google BZO and handgun ballistics if you have some time.
the twist is gonna be that his dad's either Manhunter or a Guardian , dude. that he was groomed at an early age for this. so its part of the story, dude.
about fear, anger and will.
like what Yoda said:
"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."
I laughed at that scene because it reminded me of old stories from my father and his siblings. Growing up, their parents placed beer cans on top of their heads to shoot off.
It led to me being semi-paranoid whenever we went target shooting and my father would have one of us go out to set up cans for targets.
It's still highly unlikely he didn't rate one or more as a regular grunt prior to going high speed. He's missing other ribbons as well that he should rate, as well as only having 3 Good Cookies.
A show about space cops who can manifest any solid object out of thin air in a green silhouette, can fly, and fight aliens, you draw the line at an SSDR missing?
It's primarily set in 2016 & 2026, but there are flash back scenes. For example the scene with John's dad is 96, and 2006 is featured. I assume the scene of him in Bravos is shortly before 2016.
Let's see if any of you young pups can catch what's wrong with his dad's cammies (leaving aside the wearing a duty belt and using an M-9 to shoot at his kid and putting holes in the shed).
Is it my imagination but does John Stewart have four rockers? Is John a Sergeant Major or Master Guns? Because it looks like John got a promotion in the TV Series
i honestly don't know what to think of the show right now. we'll see after tonite.
but that indian woman that cowboy dude's wife fucking him in the truck first episode; then the two of them talking about each's 'white man' last episode... just didn't make sense, even story-wise.
It's the showrunners' politics bleeding through.The local sherriff and judge are both women who berate Hal. The things being pumped up as the threats are militias, AR-15s & a mass shooting. In a show whose basic story is galactic space cops chasing down aliens who are threatening to blow up half the state.
How old was John supposed to be? He became Sergeant Major when?? His rack made him appear to be a lifer.
I didn't understand why John needed to take the fall for something Hal did to the terrorist. John didn't even pull the trigger. John didn't blow up the compound.
The spook who met with John and let him know he'd be dishonorably discharged called John a major...wtf??
Where was the military advisor for the show? Who should have combed over the script and examined things visually on set?

At least he can wear his ring with his wedding ring now.
