Poll Suggestion: A Tribute to MacGyver

MacGyver (1985) is a legendary American action-adventure television series.

The series follows the adventures of Angus MacGyver, a secret agent armed with remarkable scientific resourcefulness to solve any problem out in the field using mundane materials at hand.

MacGyver (1985) prefers to fight crime with ingenious feats of engineering rather than lethal force.

The series gained a loyal following. It was popular in the United States and around the world.

Now, according to MacGyver lore if you mix the first 3 movies, you get the 4th movie: Title 1 + Title 2 + Title 3 = Title 4

MacGyver uses nitrate from fertilizer, cellulose from plant bark, and a drip or two of acid to make nitromannite (it is a little more sensitive than nitroglycerin) in order to make a bomb to blow up a dam.

FYI, I ran across an article for the Women's History Day and its 2023 female technology & education theme, "DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality" that I can't find now. It discussed using MacGyver to inspire the female scientists of tomorrow with a real-life collegiate female MacGyver competition.

If they didn't just reboot the series in 2021, I could see them gender flipping this role for a new generation with a female MacGyver, maybe his daughter.

@mariojacobs First, NEVER is a strong word, I recommend always hedging a bit (cough, Starbuck). But, I agree they have had a lot of failures doing that, but there is a reason they keeping on doing them, is that sometimes they actually do work. Personally, I thinking pulling it off has more to do with the person acting or the writers being creative in where they take the character than the concept itself.

Obviously, I wasn't there when they were rebooting MacGyver in 2021, but I bet it was at least discussed briefly. I can think of at least one show where the daughter followed in her father's footsteps and I think surpassed him. As well as, the show became a big hit on its network. The idea in itself isn't bad, but the execution is critical to it working, IMHO.

FYC, Best Gender Flip Remake or Sequel Movie?
