IT'S COMING!!!!!!!

OCTOBER!!!!!

HIGHLANDER!!!!!!!


YAAY!!!!!


Didn't really have anything else to say here...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't understand what the comic series is supposed to be about. Highlander's continuity is more f***ed up than the X-Men's and DC's put together.

I fear the worse...

 

[hippy fascist]

It's supposed to occur before the first movie...does this mean no connor mcloud or will it be between becoming an immortal and getting to the states? It would be cool if it was just how he appeared at each stage in time like the flashbacks he had to wars etc

 

[TheCorpulent1]

A flashback series would be cool. I'll probably give the first issue a try. Maybe if it sells well they can start other Highlander comics. I'd love to see a Methos comic.

 

[hippy fascist]

Oh dude...Even better...







Comics!

 

[The Question]

I heard that the comic was going to take place right after the first film left off, and have Conner dealing with the memories and emotions he absorbed from the Kurgan when he took his quickening.

Yes!!!!! Finally they are gonna have to deal with the continuity involved in getting from the first film to the second. Maybe he get's kidnapped by aliens, brainwashed into thinking he was never human but in fact some lame alien exiled from his homeworld, and then we segue into highlander two.

Or maybe it was wanda maximoff?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It'd be quite a feat if the comic somehow managed to make sense of the movies' and TV series' continuity. I don't think it's possible, myself.

 

[The Question]

With what I heard, it seems that it will be it's own continuity counting only the first movie as cannon. Still, I think a flashback series, overall, would be the best. Easiest to avoid continuity problems. Besides, who wouldn't want to see Conner fighting in WWII, or acting as a sort of urban vigilante during the Great Depression, or other stuff like that?

 

[HR-PUFF&STUFF]

highlander needs to be done like BSG, just reboot it from the start.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I think the TV series and the first movie should stay in continuity. Ditch the rest.

 

[The Question]

Well, the TV show does have the events in the movie as continuity, however it has Conner's defeat of the Kurgen retconned into a personal victory for Conner instead of the final fight for the prize.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, so all that's really required is a minor retcon. Instead of winning the Prize, Connor just gets personal revenge on the Kurgen.

 

[The Question]

Which is fine. And then we still get Duncan and Methos and the Four Horsemen and all that good stuff.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, exactly. As far as I'm concerned, Highlander - Methos = lame.

 

[The Question]

'Course. Still, I think many many flashbacks would be necessairy. With characters who have been around for centuries, seeing what they did during major events in history is always interesting. But maybe not WWII. That's been done alot. Maybe seeing how they dealt with the social turmoil of the great depression. Duncan may have taken up the role of an urban vigilante, Conner probably would have been held up in a speakeasy getting drunk and being generally cynical, and so on.

 

[The Question]

Also, I know this is a bit off topic, but there's a new Highlander film coming out called Highlander: The Surce, in which both Duncan and Methos will play a large role. From what I've read, the story has them on a quest to figure out the source of their immortality. Sounds like they'll be ignoring the alien explanation from Highlander II.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I'm cautiously looking forward to it. None of the movies have managed to be very good beyond the first one, but the premise of The Source sounds really good.

 

[War Lord]

I don't understand what the comic series is supposed to be about. Highlander's continuity is more f***ed up than the X-Men's and DC's put together.

Only because of the 2nd to 4th movie.

Remove those and it's perfectly aligned.

 

[War Lord]

Yeah, I'm cautiously looking forward to it. None of the movies have managed to be very good beyond the first one, but the premise of The Source sounds really good.

The last one was pretty good. It was like a 2 hour episode of the tv series.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, the last one was the best after the first, but it still wasn't really that great. It was all very predictable.

Only because of the 2nd to 4th movie.

Remove those and it's perfectly aligned.

Except for the bit Question mentioned about the Game ending in the first movie and Connor winning the Prize.

 

[The Question]

Yeah, I'm cautiously looking forward to it. None of the movies have managed to be very good beyond the first one, but the premise of The Source sounds really good.

It'd be nice to finally get an explanation for the existence of the Immortals (you know, one that doesn't suck).

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, especially why there are always new Immortals being made when they're supposed to be whittling down their numbers to just one. Also, maybe they could address the question of why the Game and the Prize exist in the first place. What in the Immortals makes Quickenings happen? Lots of technical questions that the movies and TV series have mostly just ignored.

 

[deathshead2]

The last one was pretty good. It was like a 2 hour episode of the tv series.

Wasn't that endgame if it was I couldn't even get through watching it was so bad. I want to remake highlander one day so it can have a badass highlander2.
