Perhaps most notably, the usual cartoon rule that everything has to be wrapped up nicely by the end of every episode is not in force. Back in 1996, shortly after the third game took the world by storm with its full-motion video, incredible space combat and then-unheard of $4 million budget, the decision was made to bring Wing Commander to TV audiences.Īs a Saturday morning kids cartoon. It wasn't Wing Commander's first foray into the mainstream. Most of the storyline was cut due to a lack of budget, and the need to keep the hideous alien puppets off camera as much as possible, and. The addition of mystical elements to its serious sci-fi universe were just as stupid as George Lucas trying to mix a bit of science into his magic. The characters I'd been flying alongside since around 1990 were ruined. Even by the low, low standards of game-to-movie conversions, it was a stinker. I couldn't decide whether it was more like a dentist accidentally drilling through a nerve, or like being stabbed in the back with a serrated dagger. Watching the Wing Commander movie was a difficult experience for me.
