Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Infernal Affairs (2002): 1 line

  1. lineage (remake source) · through The Departed (2006), which they were tied to as hypothetical casting for Leo's killer: Infernal Affairs ⇒ The Departed (the host's read). The Departed is a remake of the Hong Kong film Infernal Affairs, which is tighter.
    “It was called Infernal Affairs, the Hark Kong one?”

J. Michael Straczynski: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Thor (2011), which they were tied to as rumored Loki frontrunner: J. Michael Straczynski ⇒ Thor (the host's read). The film borrows heavily from Straczynski's celebrated Thor run, including Thor spending time in the Midwest.
    “the celebrated Thor arc was J. Michael Stratinsky, which is this is borrowing from heavily.”

Masters of the Universe (1987): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Thor (2011), which they were tied to as rumored Loki frontrunner: Masters of the Universe ⇒ Thor (the host's read). Thor is described as essentially a remake of the live-action Masters of the Universe.
    “It's mostly just a remake of the live action masters of the universe movie.”

Scarface (1983): 1 line

  1. lineage (homage) · through The Departed (2006), which they were tied to as hypothetical casting for Leo's killer: Scarface ⇒ The Departed (the host's read). The film has references to classic gangster films like the original Scarface that feel like pastiche.
    “there's a couple of references in this movie to classic gangster films like the original Scarface”
    The Rewatchables · ‘The Departed’ With Bill Simmons and Chris Ryan · 0:45:24 · Chris Ryan (0.50 sure it was them)

Stan Lee: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Thor (2011), which they were tied to as rumored Loki frontrunner: Stan Lee ⇒ Thor (the host's read). The Donald Blake identity came from Stan Lee's 60s devotion to the secret-identity trope; the movie keeps it only as a fake ID gag.
    “in the 60s, Stanley was a little slavishly devoted to like the classic superhero comic trope, so you needed a secret identity”
