Fodder for Funeral Fans (September 19, 2022)

[ChrisReid]

The world has seen a lot of a particular funeral today, but have they seen enough Wing Commander funerals? Decidedly not. LOAF is here to fix that with a quad of screenshots!

We’ve talked about how Wing Commander doesn’t have many queens… but it has PLENTY of funerals!





One of the craziest things about the movie is that it /doesn’t/ have a space funeral.

Quad.

I can only assume you count 1, 2, 3, 6 in your house!

Ha, originally it was just the first four, and we added in the Dallas memorial from Prophecy after the text was written.

The SWC funeral always gave me the heebie jeebies. Explosive Decompression/Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly of your strike craft CANNOT be kind to the body, best to go with a closed casket -Unless the casket is a 3D printed statue of the deceased filled with a couple of tablespoons of biomatter? (If recoverable)

I assume that the movie used the "Never existed" line to avoid making a funeral scene.
