re: The Terminal List is amazing

Chris Pratt sucks in this. As a serious actor, he's not very good. Hard to buy him as some lethal, cock swinging commando type who's out for vengeance.

I don't think he sucks in it, but it was strained at times. I think he was perfect in ZDT as an operator who is good at his craft with a good sense of humor. And I think if they continue the series he'll have a much better chance to gravitate toward that instead of the brooding, revenge-minded guy.

Carr wrote his character that way somewhat as the books go on, but even if Pratt is a little more lighthearted than Reece in the books, I think it'll be a better fit and won't mess up the storylines much. Everyone wants to see fewer flashbacks, so having him move to super operator without too much reliance on Terminal List for his personality would be fine IMO.
