more prison break commentary

Apparently headcanoning Jensen Ackles as Michael Scofield was a popular thing back in the day and every time I read it in a fic I crack the fuck up.

I think the best part may be that Jensen is still doing Supernatural and Wentworth is currently continuing Prison Break. So, nothing has really changed in 8+ years.

Jensen being "cast" as Michael Scofield is part of that, too. The show PB stands the test of time (aside from all the flip phones and T9 texting that happens) pretty well but these fics, while good, are just dated and it makes me laugh. I think it's the difference in the genre? Actually, I expect many fics from that time have other dated references, but like a fic from BSG probably isn't going to reference popular actors from 2004 because it wasn't relevant to the material. Makes me kind of nostalgic, and yet want to go and update references in all my own fics.

If they'd done a live action back then I could totally have seen Jensen with his hair a little darker playing a decent Jason. Hell, Dean Winchester is Jason Todd in many ways: trying to do good things but willing to take down anything in his way or that is "bad" without looking at the grey areas (and failing sometimes to recognize how they themselves are grey). Both are chaotic neutrals, IMO.
