The series was so well done, I don't think it can be replicated.

    • @woodenchairs
      @woodenchairs 12 часов назад +1

      There was two episodes with the immortal kid, played by Myles Ferguson, named "Kenny". The real creepiness of this is that, in the story, Kenny lied and said he died in a car accident then, tragically and quite spooky, in real life the actor who played him, Myles, died in a car accident. Always terrible when anyone dies but even more so in Myles case as he was not only still young but he's really done a very large and amazing amount of work as an actor. He did a great job in everything he was in including the two episodes of Highlander.

      @woodenchairs 12 часов назад +1

      @@Inevitable_Truth1 No, no, I thank you actually because I was thinking through the whole video that it was kinda sad Myles/Kenny wasn't mentioned so I searched the comments to see if anyone else felt that way. So your comment made my day. I think Kenny was , in a lot of ways, one of his toughest enemies. It was also a great Duncan struggling with his ethics episode which I always thought was the best whenever he struggled with his moral code in the series. I feel personally that the world could really use a show like this now with Duncan's strict code and morals. Kenny was definitely a difficult enemy and played excellently by Myles too. Thanks for making the original comment and giving me the opportunity to go on about a series I really love and a character that deserves to be highlighted.

    The original movie casting was very weird. A French man playing a Scotsman and a Scotsman playing a Spanish man. If they just had Connery play MacLeod, they would have been half right lol. Of course he was too old by then but surely they could have got a more convincing guy to play Conor. Someone with even a slightest hint of a Scottish accent maybe...

    I was not a big fan of the genre and almost didn't make it through series season 1 because of the reasons you noted. I'm glad I stuck around because seasons 2-5 weren't just good Highlander.......they were good television. As all this was pre-DVR, I missed season 6 due to work commitments and missed the final season. Turns out I didn't miss anything with season 6, and that's a good thing.

    I am also a huge fan of the movies and shows and I had to turn this off the moment you mispronounced a name that is said many times in the TV show. At no point during (at least the English language version) of the show is Peter Wingfield’s character called “Metaas”. Regardless of how the name might be pronounced outside of Highlander, the character’s name is Methos and is pronounced “ME-th-oh-s”.

    The Kurgan was already immortal when he killed Connor for the first time. Immortals can detect if another person has the potential to become immortal. He wanted to kill and eventually behead Connor to steal his power. 1:40 calling him MORTAL is incorrect. His original death, was in 970 BC.

    I always thought a good origin would have been the gods of old, or even the Abrahamic god, was told by the devil (or equivalent) that his cherished creation was a failure. And that man is forever doomed to be evil and selfish etc etc. So they basically made a bet and the immortals were put into place like a board game. The whole light and dark quickening would even help this because the winner of the gathering, is only gonna be one or the other. Evil, from absorbing and feeding on it, or good. The whole immortality thing would simply be because to a god a mortals life is a blink so....in like 50 years or so most combatants would be dead or die before ever crossing another immortal realistically.

    If they had asked me a decade ago about a Highlander reboot, I would have been on board suggesting Antonio Banderas as Juan Sánchez-Villalobos Ramírez and because of his work on the "Zorro" franchise, he'd know swords. I would have suggested Gerard Butler as Connor MacLeod because he is also good with swords from being in "300" and could easily do multiple accents to show a passage of time from Scottish to generic American.
    Ask me today about a remake and I'd send 10 minutes cursing you out. I am so sick and bucking tired of the creative bankruptcy from Hollywood. Literally just bucking stop remaking every bucking franchise out there. JUST STOP.

    Simple formula for success for any reboots/sequels/whatevers;
    Keep It Simple Stupid. Don't get twisted up with some contrived amd convoluted origin or explanation of the immortals. All you need is that they exist, and there can be only one. Everuthing else is superfluous.
    Any future Highlander project should be to swordfights what Johm Wick is to shootouts.

No insult to Liz Gracen who I have met a few times and she is one of the nicest, warmest people you could ever hope to meet, but she was given a crap hand with Raven. As for Highlander the series, yes, season 1 and 6 are by far the worst of the bunch.
    Jim Byrnes I first saw in the tv show Wiseguy playing the lifeguard as he was called in the show as he was the lifeline the undercover agents used if they were in trouble or needed help. Adrian Paul, well, met him twice at conventions (I used to do security for UK cons back in the day) and he was an arrogant bastard both times. He refused to do more than one Q&A with the fans and only made it to the events because he stopped in on his way to other places but demanded a full pay check as if he was their the whole weekend.

    It's Methos, crap like this is one of the reasons I stopped watching videos on this channel. You lose all credibility saying what massive fans you are and then mispronouncing the name of a major character - he was in a ton of episodes and not one other character ever pronounced it the way you did. Where you just putting your spin on it? Making it your own? Also, Amanda is the absolute worst thing about this show. The minute she shows up on screen I know it is a bad episode and skip to the next. No Highlander fan asked for the romance novel episode.

    You are wrong. I would have made the immortals Fallen Angels. In the Bible there was a war started by Lucifer, the Angels who fought with Lucifer or just stood by and didn't take sides, were all cast out of Heaven. That would explain why they can't fight on Holy Ground. And I would have changed the Prize to be reentry into Heaven.

    Whenever somebody says "me-toss" it's time to move on cause they're obviously just readding off a wiki page for clicks. Fake-ass bs.

    meatas was a vegan. 😂 he watched his diet, becoming the longest living immortal.
    in the end, ... highlander painted themselves into a corner killing the franchise. (you thought i was about to say "...there can only be one.".)
    after they killed connor, the franchise was dead to me. the movies were the nails to the coffin.

    I think it was the best screenplay of that year. And guess what I don’t consider it a fantasy sci if. I consider it to be fantasy love story. Number 2 was complete dog shit. The tv series was pretty good. But I thought there were too many immortal fights on the tv show. I wanted him to fight normal mortals like bad guys who took over the court room in the first season. And once in a while fighting an immortal. I really liked Methos however.
