You know, Wing Commander 3's Kilrathi puppets were a-freakin'-mazing! They were tall, menacing and moved somewhat realistically. They are what I hold in my head as the "true," Kilrathi image.
... then Wing Commander 4 came out, with a budget in the millions (beats Three's Four thousand) and the Melek looked TERRIBLE! His puppet was too short and he looked like a happy-furry-thingy (a little too cartoony) and not the menacing feline beast he once was. Why not just use the same puppet from Three?? What happened??
I won't even start on the movie version of the Kilrathi... UGH!!
