Wing Commander Movie Sequel Ideas

Thu Apr 03, 2003 12:27 am by AndrwTrvrs

I personally would like to see them deep in enemy territory, with a more artistic NAV display. Something with a little more definition and that shows how far from Earth they are. I would also like to see an external view mid-jump. I do like how they freeze-framed the jumps. I would like to see something from just before WC 3. I never got to play WC 1 or 2, and I would like to get a brief visual summary of the events leading up to WC 3. They don't need to drop in on Colonel Blair's term on the Victory, but I would like to see some more background on the war and all. That's just what I'd like to see. Maybe this elusive TV series about which I know nothing will provide a detailed, yet suscinct background for the Kilrathi War. If anyone has like a detailed written background and could e-mail it to me at [email protected] I would greatly appreciate it. I know the WC: Prophecy strategy guide has a background, but I'm lookin' for a more detailed one that gives me a good feel for what I missed in the first 2 WCs. Thanks, all.

AndrwTrvrs: If you would like a timeline of the Kilrathi War (and beyond) check out this website. It's basically a website dedicated to Wing Commander and everything about Wing Commander.

I had already mentioned that site

I think I heard it over on the WC CIC Forums. But there was a WC Academy Animated Series that was pretty cool

I think a Covert Ops series would be cool

did you guys SEE space above and beyond. That was holywoods big chance at making a good sci-fi series based around a squadron and despite it being goddamn supurb in my books it flopped bigstyle. For holywood these days, for a series to work it needs more than a cult following of a handful of gamers for them to splash out the mullah to make it work. Remember, holywood is NOT in the business of making fans happy. Dead presidents are what they wanna see.

Space: Above and Beyond was great, it died before it's time

Space: Above and Beyond had great potentials. But I really REALLY hated the fact that those ace pilots also break sweat on the ground like grunts as infantries. Come on, make up your mind! either be a pilot or a foot soldier. I don't see that happening in our contemporary military services.

well they were marines. Now marines work on land and at sea. Now many science fictions assign the navy to space, with ships being what they travel around in. It stands to reason that instead of thinking of the fighters as airplanes, think of them as speedboats

Space above and beyonds main problem was it was too americanised. The team were best buds and you knew nothing was gonna get between them or kill them (until the last episode). too mutch shmultz but a great of television. If there is to be a wing commander series (and i do think they should stop flogging the horse before rigamortis sets in) then they could do a lot worse than looking at Space above and beyond.
