It's based on the animated series episode so the plot isn't exactly the best, and the emphasis is on the fan part, but it's worth a viewing; even if just to discuss!

Hey, for a dozen or so Alpha Flight fans working on what appears to be a $78.00 budget... I think this is pretty good. :)
Hm. Interesting.
It's infinitely better than anything I could have done, so my hats off to them! And they look like they're having fun! I thought it was interesting that they all looked pretty young - but the actor playing Shaman, looks considerably older than the rest. I thought it was cool that it wasn't just a fight against Wolverine, but they did scenes at the hospital and such. Indeed, my hats off to them!
Just watched the show. The first thing that popped into my head when I saw Shaman was Gru saying "Why are you ...so...old!". I am not sure if these guys are Flight fans or just re-enacting the X-men cartoons 'cause,man, I think I would have made more of an effort on the costumes (it looks like they blew the budget on the Cyclops visor and Sunfire's mask). Boots for Vindicator and black denim jeans for Northstar? Not to mention Shaman's outfit and Heather's black hair. I will say one thing about it though, with the way government funding goes that Weapon X lab was probably pretty accurate.
There were some issues (like Snowbird's mask) and such - but costumes are not cheap to make. I don't know if they were "Alpha Flight fans" - but the fact that made (or even bought) those costumes - that's money. These are people that have probably used these costumes more than once, I'd imagine. So I am pretty sure they're at least quite aware of Alpha Flight. Was it perfect? No. But still pretty awesome, even if they didn't get some of the costumes (or hair color) completely correct. Great representation and effort, without a doubt!Quote:

So it took a second - but I figured out who Mac looks like in this video!

Found it myself today. Not a bad effort.

This story is about Wolverine fleeing.
What we're dealing with here is Logan's Run! :D
Also, Sunfire's mask was the best-done part. Despite obviously having a cartoon pedigree (including the theme), its character mix didn't make much sense. Who was the blonde X-Woman dressed in white? Not Emma?
Are these Alpha Flight fans?
I think not. Partly because they got Heather's hair colour wrong (I think these guys could've got a wig).
Mostly because they either got Snowbird's powers wrong, or I need to look out for tigers if I'm ever in Canada again.
(I know she's had that restriction removed in the past, but not during Repo Man - which is the episode this was based on.)
It was cute. I'm glad somebody's done it.

I don't know. I think a wig would have looked bad. They're not professionals, so they probably don't have access to professional wigs. And if you have a fake, cheap wig, and take a picture or video - it's painfully obvious. Like. Painfully.Quote:

What do you think? Is it a fair representation of AF? (I just can't get past the Shaman, the twins and also the Puck :-) ). But kudos on them for creating fan-made web series.

No worse then what Fox would have done.
