Test audiences

Victory, you say?
Who are they using as test audiences for the movies?

WC2 -> Computer game -> Traitor subplot

WCA -> Animated series targeted for kids -> Traitor subplot on episode 1

WC Movie -> Movie for all ages -> Traitor subplot cut for being too complicated
 
it's simple. people don't go for old fashioned, kick ass, your army and my army on the field at 2 pm and we duke it out combat anymore. there always has to be one of the 'good guys' working for the enemy, playing the spy thing, stabbing someone in the back.

Well... that is how its done in the real world.... I mean you think people would watch movies to get away from this sorta stuff, but quite the contrary...:D

As much as the "traitor" plot is over-used, that isn't the point here. The test audiences found it too complicated. If it's over-used, how can that be so?

The issue wasn't that it was too complicated -- it was that it wasn't established properly. You see Admiral Wilson on Pegasus for about ten seconds at the beginning of the movie... and then are supposed to remember who he is two hours later when the identity of the traitor is revealed. The only 'reminder' that he existed was when Wilson glanced at a photo of him mid-way through the movie. Audiences didn't understand who the traitor was or why he was important.

We may know what the scenes are like very soon, though.

Hey i know if you get the book it includes everything originally intended in the plot right?? well if you get the DVD does it have the cut scenes in it as an extra???'Cause i've seen it on VHS, but i would BUY it on DVD if it had the extras (even though it may be a waste of money :D)
 
Nope, sadly they're not on the DVD.

The DVD (which is super-cheap now) is good to have -- it's got a great widescreen transfer of the movie.

Interesting. It really makes sense. On WC2, for example, people got so irritated with Jazz that in the recent poll of Favorite Duel he won by a good margin. :)
