4. Gibson Could Be Likable Again... Maybe...
Gibson's had his fair share of woes. I won't get into them here. I think everyone can agree that the man's public image is in the toilet and nearly everyone that once viewed him as the quirky artsy movie star now views him as a tortured villain of a man. It's sad really. No matter what your opinions are about the man's personality or life, almost everyone can agree that he's a talented actor and director (not that, that is an excuse). However, recent years have not been kind to Gibson professionally. He can't get any film financed for himself to direct and he only gets offered villain parts (Machete Kills, The Expendables 3). I, of one, miss the likable Gibson that saved the day and found out what the hell women wanted on screen. Perhaps Lethal Weapon 5 would give the man the chance to be likable again. Going back to playing a character that many love and that practically took his career to a whole new level, Gibson the man could use the moment to allow people to give him a second chance. He could have true catharsis and people might listen. Or maybe I just really, really wanna see Riggs in another movie...
