The scene on Leverage where the Team made up an entire elaborate cover story only for Eliot Spencer to step forward, straighten up, roll back his shoulders and go “I’m Eliot Spencer” gaining them immediate audience
Throwing your (team’s) cover to the wind because your real identity grants you so much more leverage (hehe), perfection
Eliot Spencer has biggest dick energy. Hardison has the most golden heart energy. Parker has unchecked chaotic energy.
Leverage did so many things with what I consider a gold standard.
One of the best depictions of Found Family there ever will be.
An awesome slow-build hetero relationship that feels organic, natural,
Never putting that romance before the familial love they have for the team
And Parker is still one of my favourite aroace autistic headcanons. She is oblivious to her own feelings for Hardison. But she is never belittled for it, she doesn’t get made fun of for not being able to name/ distinguish what she feels.
And Hardison, oh my goodness Hardison. Alec Hardison is the absolutely most loving (familially and romantically) man.
He is patient with Parker. He understands she struggles to understand how she feels.
He is encouraging and never pressures her.
And “I’m here, if you want” is still one of the most wholesome pre-relationship tropes.
Minecraft heist movie where Steve is retired from heisting and Alex is a really-prolific thief, and the new default-skins are the main heist people who need Steve and Alex to help them learn how to do the stealing.
I was expecting a 'Run-of-the-Mill' Netflix movie... but it was actually an entertaining heist movie, with Kevin Hart going against type in a slightly more serious role.
