What do U think about this thought?

I misunderstood him. I thought he said that he didn't really like the movie, but he bought it anyway because he was a WC fan. THAT IS STUPID in my opinion.

I still disagree -- if my thirteen bucks can tell Electronic Arts that there's still an interest in Wing Commander, then it's thirteen bucks well spent... even if I don't want to watch the movie.
 
LOAF, I agree, baught the movie 6 months ago, and have watched it like 3 times, but it says wing commander on the box.

I also baught one of those knifes that Blair has in the movie, the pligram cross knife on a chain, as it says wing commander on its box.

Cool. Don't try taking it on a plane, though. It makes those security people go insane.

Well, then let's agree to disagree then. I myself would not spend any money on something I didn't like just in hope that the company will make something I do like from it.

Maybe if it doesn't sell too well, somebody will get it through their heads that it wasn't a good product and their next product in return will be better.

Because that *clearly* happened.
 
I meant in general. So, if you really like say, Sims products, and you had a chance to sample The Sims Online, and did not enjoy it, would you buy it just so you could support the Sims line?
 
This thread raises an interesting point: The true, hard-core WC fans will buy into anything that has "Wing Commander" as a prefix. What happens when no one except for the handful of Wingnuts left watches the PNR films Wing Commander show? It will be even worse than if there was no show to begin with. It will just be a tease followed by yet another cancelled series.
 
Every Wing Commander thing I've bought, I've bought because I liked it, not because it says Wing Commander on the front. I bought the Movie, because I had already watched it before hand. The movie works, if you imagine that it is set in a minor universe (that could account for the differences)
 
Don't go into that "Alternate Universe" thing, man. It's the death of many a poster. For your sake, hush.

The movie works without doing crazy multiverse things too!

Well... maybe if you people who refuse to accept that it obviously doesn't connect with the games would just leave us guys who think it makes more sense with alternate universes alone, then it'd be fine and no newbie poster deaths would occur ;)

Ding-Ding-Ding, you win the stupidest argument ever award!

If you'd stop disagreeing with me, we wouldn't disagree!
 
EXACTLY!

Now what's my reward? :p

Actually, what I meant was that if when someone who thought they were alternate universes weren't shot down and flamed so bad everytime they posted about it, maybe it wouldn't be "the death" of posters.
 
Fact is new posters probably haven't kept up with LOAF's lengthy explainations of everything. Hence why it doesn't seem to fit. I still wish they used something that resembled the game Tiger's Claw more. That magical splitting space submarine was a let down for me.

Those of us who believe in canon are trying to generate a consistent storyline for WC. It allows us to contribute to WC lore and is fun besides. In short, it’s an art form. But I have no idea what those who refer to “alternate universes” are going on about or are trying to accomplish. What’s the point? Positing alternate realities does nothing to advance WC. It appears to be only window-dressing for the claim that the WC storyline can never be reconciled, and so is in fact a criticism of the rest of us who believe otherwise. One would think that after all this time, when LOAF and so many others have successfully ironed out–or at the very least have come up with some imaginative explanations for–any number of seeming inconsistencies, you’d have more respect for the effort.

By no STRETCH of the imagination does the movie fit in a canon. Rapier's look NOTHING like a WC1 or WC2 version. A Snakier can fly faster than a rapier... I don't think so. The Tiger Claw not Tiger's Claw. Where was Colonol Halycon? Angel was the Wing Commander for the Tiger Claw? Paladin was already retired from Fighter pilot. Too many inconsistances to reconclie. Nope better to just take it as an Alternate Universe, or a dream or something weird like that.

Heck not even all of Star Trek lines up all the time. Some books are contradicted by movies or the show, and vice versa. Even Star Wars cannot all be canon. Just the other day I read the Black fleet Crisis trilogy again. In that trilogy Luke discovers his mother was a Force witch or some such nonsense. But we know that cannot be true cause his mom is Amadila. Some things must be accepted and some must be rejected. Same as Wing Commander.

Maybe it was all Chris Blair's evil twin...:cool:
