    Let me guess- you haven't missed a Sunday in Church for 30 years, right?

      BUT! He did use an AK in the very first Episode, they wrote the "not liking guns" part in later.

        Not that I am crazy about this show but they don't want it to be exactly like the original. They want to do somethings differently. So far not so great

          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
          The difference beteween genius and stupidity genius has its limit

            Personally, I don't have a problem with them re-imagining the character and his interactions with Jack and the others.
            I do have a problem however with the quality of the show. And, oh boy it's bad.

                  I thought that turning Pete into a woman was a good choice, it did up the diversity level. As to the 'father figure' - she could still be a mentor, without being male.

                    The moment you start talking about "diversity levels" you out yourself as a worthless individual.

                      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.

                            I'm surprised they didn't replace macgyver with a black guy. They do it with every other remake/reboot. But whatever

                              I'm surprised they didn't make him gay i mean gay is the new black and cmon its right there in his moniker macgayver. On a more serious note this show is a joke.

                                    Jimmy Olsen in Supergirl. Moneypenny in James Bond, the constant calling for Idris Elba to be cast as James Bond etc etc

                                        And Herimone is black now in the new Harry Potter play, but dont say anything or else your a racist!
                                        Not to mention all the white comic book characters who are now black, Nick Fury being a prime example.

                                          Yeah they are taking everything right? Eventually it will be 6 characters. We have nothing left soon.
