However, it turns out he isn’t a missionary at all! He’s an evil arms dealer (played by John de Lancie), and the woman who’s helping MacGyver turns out to be a Soviet agent who’s job is to sell weapons to pro-Soviet terrorist groups to destabilize the region!
lol, projecting like a movie theater :amerikkka-clap:
I remember watching mcgyver on my grandparents house as a kid and being blown aqay at him making bombs with paper clips
a weird combination of Reagan-era anticommunist agent and volcel teetotaller tofu-loving vegan
this kind of esoteric pseudo-ascetic aesthetic and reactionary politics give me major Nazi vibes, tbh
My favorite episode is the one where MacGyver stumbles into a conspiracy to install Nazis in several important seats of political power in order to establish a new nation of Nazis and the episode ends with them foiling one of what is implied to be many attempts to fund the project
I believe it's called The Ten Percent Solution
I was so impressed with MacGuyver as a little kid. his antics made me want to grow up to be a STEM lord that could improvise weapons and deploy disruptive tactics from household chemicals using common tools.
all the political propaganda went in one ear and out the other. the breaking of locks with rapid endothermic reactions, escaping from detainment, homemade rockets/chemical weapons, that shit was awesome.
I thought it, like the A-Team was a show for adults and that I was mature for watching it. watching either as an adult made me realize they were totally kid's shows.
