    this needs to be a TV series and the opening has to be done in the A-Team voice. "Alex Kane's body is a weapon. In Vietnam his lover was killed by a homophobic coward. Now he fights anyone, anywhere, who dares to challenge the dreams of gay men."

    Others have made a similar point, but it’s hard to think of Andor as part of Star Wars because it’s impossible to imagine the characters in Andor talking to the characters in any other Star Wars movie or show. Like having the characters in a David Hare play meet the A-Team.

    As someone who grew up on reruns of The A-Team, let me just say, this is one of the greatest film adaptations of a tv show ever made! Casting was brilliant, especially Sharlto Copley as Murdock, he did the character justice. The only thing I hate about this movie is that we never got a sequel. 😠

    I'm watching the Mister T cartoon, and a thought kind of entered my mind. How come there aren't any dramatic cartoons aimed toward younger audiences? This show is legitimately an action drama on par with other primetime sows of the day, especially The A-Team. A cozy watch at best.

    There were live-action properties that were huge toy generators, like STAR WARS, but as a movie franchise they had waaaaay higher budgets and as an SF series everything was trademarkable. THE A-TEAM had a TV budget and Jeeps and stuff. So it might have made a good ongoing comic, but maybe not...

    The drama teacher at my high school came up with that line--he was part of the A-Team writer's room and would say it in meetings, so they wrote it into the show. He passed away a long time ago but I can't imagine he'd be cool with it being used like this.

    I made a joke that it's notable that this is not The A-Team theme. A USian replied that it's Airwolf. Um, no. But it definitely tracks that they mistook a show about oil and greed (it's the Dallas theme) for one about an armed helicopter being used for good.

    I always knew I had a passionate dislike for bullies. I noticed this as a kid, when I saw how much I loved the show, The A-Team, mostly because the show was about a bunch of guys fearlessly dishing out justice to bullies and protecting everyday people. It was one of my happy places, as a child.
