Someone explain to me what this whole Phoenix stuff is. I never read the comics so Im not familiar with the story, but I know it comes from there. Its not really a spoiler since its already in print somewhere IMO...
That pissed me off to no end. I never saw another Highlander movie after that....it would be as shark-jumping and jarring as when Highlander 2 introduced extra-terrestrail alien beings as the explanation for the existence of immortals to the non-comic fan.
I agree 100%. I was never an avid reader of the comics or the watched the cartoons, but I was very familiar with the series. I like that the movies "keep it real." If they start bringing in some of these more fantastic elements of the series, like other planets and stuff, it would really seem odd given the first 2 movies.I'm sure all that empire/planets stuff won't be in the film. The movies' central emotional theme is that the mutants are part of the natural evolutionary process and how everyone deals with that. It's what I like about the films- the costumes and trappings are all secondary, mostly it feels kind of "possible." If they start throwing in other alien galactic empires, it would be as shark-jumping and jarring as when Highlander 2 introduced extra-terrestrail alien beings as the explanation for the existence of immortals to the non-comic fan.
