![]() ![]() ![]() Does Multiversus want to add a third Adventure Time rep, and if they do, would Bubblegum be their first choice? In regards to the first question, I’m not totally sure. I think BGP’s chances comes down to two factors. But all that aside, it'd be, in my opinion, a sweet homage to a very talented actor that made an enormous mark in the genre (Tommy Vercetti anyone?) and was taken too soon. Plus Tony Soprano is a fellow Warner-owned mafioso and that looks like more of a franchise than Goodfellas. ![]() There are the questions of whether this would go against Goodfellas' stance against the glamorization of the gangster, whether this would be a respectful homage of Liotta or the polar opposite, or whether a real-life criminal belongs in a fighter alongside Batman, but for now I'll ignore them. Now comes the awkward part: would he work as a fighter in MultiVersus? To that I answer: sure. Goodfellas lives and dies based on its lead role and Liotta gave a defining performance that is still quoted, parodied, referenced and remembered. Like most Scorsese leads, he embodies the message and themes of the movie, conflicted by his principles of loyalty against the ambition and self-preservation that drives him and his fellow gangsters. We understand Henry's warped moral code and even share in his idolization of the gangster lifestyle even as the movie makes it clear why we shouldn't (and that Henry shouldn't be taken at his word). Liotta is hypnotizing, making Henry unhinged (with greed at first, and with paranoia later), unapologetic, practically grotesque, but somehow never unsympathetic. A tour de force performance, Henry is the movie, grabbing your attention and never letting it go from the first line until the credits roll. But the movie would fall apart if it didn't have a magnetic lead, and that's Henry Hill. Of course it involves a cast of all-time greats, and a crew that includes legends of directing and editing. ![]() Even after 30 years it still has a strong case to make as Scorsese's masterpiece and one of the greatest crime films ever made. Instead of arguing Henry's chance I'll just take the opportunity to homage Liotta through his most iconic role. The questions of whether WB, Scorsese, Liotta, or the real Henry Hill's family would want or agree to an appearance in MultiVersus have become unknowable due to Liotta's untimely passing. "As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster." That resulted in what you see above, including our first triple day caused by a tie between Animaniacs and Jack Torrance.
