Constantine adds so much fun to this show imo and he's a perfect blend of silly and serious that the show lives in at the best of times, that's the problem with a bunch of the characters is they generally exist in the silliness but it's the balance that makes the show work when it does work.
Darville I'm guessing failed to be what Ryan can be because of how the people behind the scenes wanted his character to come across, Constantine works because his cockiness and humour comes from his actual ability, he knows he's the dogs bollocks but that he can also make a dogs dinner out of things, where as Rip was just a pompous tosser who we learn repeatedly is a fuck up so why he's so pompous makes no sense at times, amd the fact he's such a fuck up begs the question how did he make it this far? Darville has the talent to be great he's just generally given shit material imo.
Benefit Ryan has as Constantine is he's made his version enjoyable to watch just in the performance so even if they give him shitty material his portrayal of the character makes it work, similar with Dominic Purcell as Mick, he doesn't get a lot to do at times but how he delivers what he has is great imo, so long as we don't lose Mick to make way for Constantine LOT S4 looks to be a lot more fun to watch than S1-3 imo atleast.
They have messed up Rip though and I am not sure what they are going to do with him now. I am starting to think he might get killed off at some point unless they are able to come up with a more substantial role for him 'cause he just seems to be there 'cause he is there some episodes and doesn't contribute anything. Something tells me the human version of Gideon might become a regular since they keep bringing her back and she appears to be popular with the fans so they might make her more like Android in 'Dark Matter' with a robot body. By the way, you posted that GIF of Daniel Bryan. Did you know Daniel Bryan has been cleared to return as a full time wrestler and looks to be wrestling his first match back at Wrestlemania in a tag team match with Shane McMahon against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn?
Yeah when I heard about Bryan I lost my fucking shit, so glad he's been cleared as poor dude was not ready to give up his career just yet, but if he gets hurt again I hope he takes it as a sign and retires under his own choice just to be safe, but heres hoping for a HBK level post-retirement return.
And what can I say every year the stars align and my miserable arse looks to the positive, too bad that Jax cant get the totem to become firestorm again but Mick with powers is fine also, loved Constantine lighting his ciggy off of Mick's flame that was just such a fun little moment, same when JC kissed ole Gazza and is why I like the character so much similar to Mick they can have such fun moments at pretty much any moment.
I wonder if they would go the Andromeda route and have both AI Gideon & Android Gideon with slightly different personalities, or maybe make Gideon an Android then have Rip die but keep AD around as the new voice of the Waverider, it would allow for him to be part of the show but not be needed on set as often to allow him to do other projects more easily.
That or as we saw the Waverider has hologram capabilities let Gideon appear as a hologram when talking to the team.
