    I love the fact that you did the Die Hard brothers back to back. Thank you!

    I disagree that Simon didn't care about Hans, at least to a degree as the dialogue between he and Zeus shows:
    Zeus, "Man didn't I hear you say you didn't even LIKE your brother?!"
    Simon, "There's a difference between not liking your brother and not caring when some dumb Irish flatfoot drops him out of a window."
    I also always admired Simon and his group more as they seemed far more principled than Han's group.
    John, "There was never any bomb in the school was there?"
    Simon, "Of course not. I'm not a monster, though I sometimes work for monsters."
    Even most of his organization go out of their way to avoid killing more than absolutely necessary,(The exception being the metro bomb, the one guard and John's friend from the NYPD which arguably were somewhat necessary for the plan to work) when Zeus hands the bomb back to Simon's men disguised as cops, they express horror at the idea of just leaving it as "Some kid could..."(find it) and so they take it with them, they use tranquillizers on most of the security guards and they even let Simon go the first time he's in their clutches instead of killing him.
    Simon to me is much like Cooler from the DBZ franchise. He's clearly the more level headed and practical than his brother and he's not so much avenging his brother out of love or hate, but rather a conception of family honor(that admittedly he might not have even done if John hadn't been in the same city as the heist).

      Dude, Cooler was basically like Ursula's sister Morgana from _Little Mermaid 2._
      A character who is basically an inferior version of a previous character written off as a surprise sibling.
      Simon is NOT that.

      The tranquilizer thing could be a tactic to avoid getting the x rating or whatever is after "r rating", and yes, I always compared gruber brothers to frieza and cooler from dbz. You know what they say, frieza was cool but his brother was cooler

    McClane: You know your brother was an a**hole.
    Simon: Ha! He WAS an a**hole! You got his number!

    Simon Gruber? Didn’t John McClane say his name was f**k head? That aside, curious as to what the dynamic was between Simon and Hans growing up in the Gruber household

    I find that Simon Gruber is similar to Howard payne from speed and the riddler from Batman.

      It wasn't garbage. Sure it had it's flaws, but I liked how the bad guys were ex-military and actual terrorists, moreso then either brother. I admit I'm one of the few who has the second one as my favorite.
