The thing about Glenn Morshower is that he’s just okay in the role. He does nothing spectacular as Shepherd and that’s a shame because it’s GENERAL SHEPHERD.
I know the rebooted series wanted to go for a more grounded approach but considering MWII kinda went off the wall with allowing a group of mercenaries to use an AC-130 in Mexico, I don’t think giving Shepherd a more intimidating stature would be all that out of the ordinary.
