I started watching MacGyver TOS because it was recommended to me as "Oh, it's so wonderful, he doesn't use guns!!!" But I eventually realised that while he doesn't use guns, he used a lot of other things that endangered lives, and to hell with the bad guys who might or might not die thanks to his actions.
I was left utterly unimpressed that Mac "refuses to use guns" when rockets, homemade IEDs, poison gas, and anything else he chooses will do the trick for him. I'm sorry, but it just made me really sad that people should have fallen for that line that the show was "good" because he didn't use guns. Killing is killing, and if you do it with a knitting needle instead of a bullet, you still just killed them.Because supporting your thesis is tough, but throwing adjectives is easy. -

Relax dude. It's not like Mac flipped out on random killing sprees. Those
bad guys who might or might not die thanks to his actions
, they were trying to kill Mac and/or people he was trying to help.
One other thing, it's a fictional tv show,
You can't palm off a second-rater on me. You gotta remember I was in the pink! -

well at least they should have kept the core of what macgyver is wich is a lone wolf who dont like violence or guns and gets out of trouble with his pocket knife,duck tape and chewing gum. all they had right was the pocket knife the rest does not represent what macgyver is at the core and for growing up and watching the show ,this is nbo way a representation of what it should be

No, just a white Mama to children of colour who sees through their eyes. How would you like to go to a school where 80% of the students look 'alike', but not like you? How would you like to live in a community where no one else looks like you, but all sure as heck look like each other? The idea of the all female Ghost Busters was stupid as all get out. The reason they were all male in the original is because it was sort of a 'buddy movie', and the idea of a group of comedians who often worked together who happened to be male. Had the new one been the children of the originals, at least one of whom happened to be female, it would have made a lot more sense.
The phrase 'diversity level' may just be a side effect of being interested in America as a whole, not just a bunch of old white men. or it may be indicative of being in grad school and needing to communicate (speak & write) like a frickin' thesaurus. I'm also a retired Sailor and sometimes speak like one, much to my Mother's lament. -

You type a lot but all it means is "we need more diversity because diversity"
Quotas aren't good for anyone. All they do is force a racial mix even if it means producing a horrible picture. Nobody cares what color your babies are. It's not some special badge of honor that allows you to speak authoritatively on such subjects. It's like being the person who says "I have a friend who is black" to prop themselves up as an authority on race. Guess what, I know someone at NASA. That doesn't make me an astrophysicist.
As for ghostbusters, the movie probably would have gone over fine if they had made a better trailer, and Paul Feig could take criticism. Overall the movie wasn't bad and it probably could have made money.
Instead he tried to pull the race/gender/equality card and that tanked his movie hard. This is what happens when you social justice tards try too hard to push an agenda that clearly doesn't make any sense.
"Diversity levels" is a red flag statement. It tells me that you're more interested in diversity than you are in competence, effort, or achievement. A useless person.
