What else do you all want to see in Melody's SYCC episodes?
Blue
I suppose since there are multiple episodes in the works, we'll have room to explore some options. So I'll put out a few thoughts. By all means not asking for all of this!
1. Definitely want to see the old strangle and ligature. A favorite scenario, and she plays that role quite well.
2. As a general point, it's always a pleasure to see her initial confidence in an encounter dwindle down as she struggles. She is a master at oozing unwarranted confidence.
3. The butt pat with an OTS carry like in Night Work. Great touch. Would be sweet to see that again. (Also that line about the dumpster with her name on it. Whoever came up with that, bring them back. lol)
4. A neck snap and stare is nice, like in the Huntsman.
5. Shootings are cool too. Idk how folk like those to play out, but I think she's done it well with the old pew pew followed by a farewell headshot or the burst attack a la Vengeance.
6. I kind of wish she would be more risque with her attire. I think the best we got was Night's Work or even the civilian attire in Huntsman. Wouldn't mind repeats of those. But idk if she's willing to push as far as, say, Cameron in Out of Court or Call M for Murder, or perhaps push the envelope a little more like Katrina in Sexy Spy.
7. Along similar lines, let's talk about unique costumes. Like the suit in Just Following Orders. It filled and fit a role, but if there is a repeat, the question is, what more can you do with it? Could be more of a plot related point, admittedly.
8. I think Melody really shines when there's action, when things are somewhat dynamic or tense. She's best as a character in motion. So the tempo of Maxed Out just didn't highlight that. I think the set up for tension was there but didn't quite do it for me. The struggle and strangle were great, but getting there was a touch painful, imo. That's probably just a me issue, honestly.
All right, I've had my say. But there's lots to explore! I'm excited to see what you all can come up with.
