I love Leverage. Eliot and Parker have the best character development.

Other than the fact that Blue sounds cute (bypassing all my Ace defenses), butI'm finally hooked to patronize based heavily on the Leverage recommendation. I literally finished watching The Librarians the night before watching this, and now I not only see how heavily Librarians references Leverage, but also the huuuuuge Doctor Who nods that also connect the two series together.

I enjoy the Leverage channel on Pluto

Awesome Video! Tired old people like me see similarities between Leverage and the OLD TV episodes of Mission Impossible. I can't think of an MI character who fit the Powerhouse trope though.

Great video as always! Leverage is a great show. And Red might be interested to know that the show's creator, John Rogers, used to play Shadowrun and drew a lot of inspiration for the show's "heist team" format from that game's premise (minus the cyberpunk and urban fantasy). Elliot is basically a street samurai. :)

Loved the Leverage shoutout. Been eyeing becoming a patron for a while, and that gave me the final push. Thanks for all the awesome videos.

My exotic weapons proficiency means I don't need to carry dedicated weaponry.

Fantastic video 😊❤😊 A personal favorite "Powerhouse" of mine would be Erza Scarlett, who was as far as I know, never Warfed throughout the entire show and only kept getting more and more badass. (Though I haven't yet watch the last season, so I could very likely be wrong 😅)

Sergeant Detritus from Discworld? He’s already the heavy hitter who develops into “consistently reliable guy,” and on top of that, he has the Piecemaker.

I'm super happy that leverage got such attention one of my favorite shows. Also my favorite big guy will always be mikey from recess
