The Worst Mary Sue EVER

The Highlander.

If this title brought an image to your mind, read on. If not, skip.

The Highlander, the TV Series.

If you know this is different than the movies, and you really liked that show, read on. If not, skip.

A few years ago, there was a
major movie releaseof a Highlander movie. It was horrific. They messed with the mythos. They made it like a bad fanfic with bad camera work.

Last weekend, Sci Fi premiered a movie,
Highlnder: the Source, which made that Endgame movie look like an oscar winner.

The positives of this movie: Adrian Paul. Peter Wingfield. (sigh. sigh again.)







(These pictures are obviously liberated off the internet. I didn't want to waste someone else's bandwidth.)




The negatives of this movie: everything else. I am not kidding.

They had crazy light filters that made you guess as to time of day constantly. There was almost no script. The plot was so bad and convoluted that it had to be re-capped in the last five minutes

There weren't even any sword fights or montages.

What a gyp.

There are some good screen captures (involving the positives, above. Man, those boys are beautiful). But otherwise, it's worse than the worst fanfiction out there. It has bad (really bad) science. Stupid, cliched characters with silly hair and bad leather. And this is the worlds biggest (and worst)
Mary Sue: there's a chick with super powers who is duncan's newest love. The plot - what there is - centers around her. And resolves with her.

They didn't even use Queen's song.

I need to brush my brain after thinking about this...
