WHAT THEY BROUGHT
Recorded conversation
Number one, a Die Hard movie doesn't have any of this spy shit.; Another thing, you know, always got that tough, stoic, good guy murdering as many innocent people as necessary to get the scumbags.; Third is action is at the forefront.; I think that McClane never has any kind of coherent reason for how or why he's caught up in what he's doing.

- Answer qualification: This is, like, the exception in this movie.; Like, we all know McClane is, Bruce Willis is the guy.; I don't think we're going to get a plot.; I don't think we're going to get any characters.; These are dangerous criminal enterprises that just kind of show up around him and he fights back.
- Adjudication: I mean, that's a decent list.

Prompt
How do you think he kills the most innocents?
CLAIM & ADJUDICATION
Remark
He killed at least a thousand people.
RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE
It's just that chasing is so crazy, where he's running around driving on top of cars, clearly killing everybody inside them.; But I'm going to say this is only the second most.; He's going to do something fucking loony that is going to result in tons of death.

- Answer qualification: Yeah, I think that's an easier question, because it would be really hard for me to quantify the number of deaths he's responsible for in even this movie.

Prompt
Do you think this will be the weakest plot we get or do you think they'll all sort of be in that same vein of lack of plot?
RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE
So I think the second one will be very plot heavy.; But I think all the rest are going to be very light.

Prompt
Do we think John McClane has to be part of a Die Hard movie despite what we did last episode?
More of this contribution
- This proposed requirement remains unsettled.
RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE
Recorded conversation
So I would love if like the third Die Hard is just a complete non sequitur from the rest of the series.; If we accept that John McClane probably has to be part of it.; I think we can have headcanon, right?; So I think we can say they are.
