I'm actually worried the more I hear about it. "Penknife"? It's a swiss army knife! Updating means changing his age I bet which means less likely to resemble RDA. Obviously he can't have the hairstyle from the 80s but RDA kept up on that so they could give him the hair from the 6th or 7th season and still be up to date in style. If they were smart they will connect it to the series and get us up to date on what MacGyver is up to. I fear they will try to reinvent the wheel

I don't know about that. Lee David Zlotoff would care about his creation in the general sense. Not the legendary specific parts that RDA brought to the character.

QUOTE (MacGyverGod @ 5 August 2011 - 09:11 PM) | Flatscreens are also in all sizes. I can imagine his western collection on video has been replaced by a dvd collection. Alright, debatable. Maybe he likes the old video and it's quality out of nostalgia.
Internet: everybody has it and in the old days they didn't. And I'm sure Phoenix would have a very secured website.
Cell phone he'd probably took it to replace his old car phone and maybe he leaves his cell in the car. And the best thing about a cell phone on the contrairy with a portable phone is you can turn it off. So Jack can't annoy him.
But indeed to be absolutely sure about we'll have to wait for the comic. |
I agree with you.
While I can see Rocketeer's point about Mac not being heavily into stuff like TV and electronic gadgets,etc, we also know that his belongings weren't outdated. The stuff he owned in the series was appropriate for the time period of the series, so it would be safe to assume that the stuff he'd own in 2011 would be appropriate for 2011. And that means he'd have a flatscreen tv, a cell phone, an iPod, the internet, a microwave oven, etc. In fact, I don't think there's any way that somebody in Mac's line of work could NOT have a cell phone and the internet-- that would be completely unrealistic, and it would feel like they're trying to hard to make Mac seem like a relic of the past.

And imagine what fantastic "product placement" tie-ins they could have if they got Apple on board as a sponsoring advertiser... Starting with Mac's iMac and MacBook computers, along with the ubiquitous (my "big word" for the day..) iPad, iPhone, and iPod devices - all would be Phoenix Foundation issue, of course..
