Nathan Fillion Wants You to Stop Pestering the Uncharted Director

[Realitycrash]

Well if you look at the games, they are shooters. They arent white Americans gunning down other ethnicities. Do I really need to explain this.

Yes? Fallout 3 has Chinese people in it whom you kill, New Vegas is questionable in that regard (Although both games have mixed-race people), but it's also questionable as to whether America is still in existence at that point. It seems to me that it's not America as it is today, and perhaps not even a country (Or a group of countries/states/etc). Doesn't RDR have Mexicans or something, too?

No, there aren't a single Chinese citizen in Fallout 3 which you can kill, unless you count virtual representations that an AI create, and you can't even kill those.
There isn't a single "Let's kill this race/nation because they are bad!" in any Fallout-game.

..Well, you can go on a genocidal crusade in San Fransisco in Fallout 2 vs the Shin, but that's purely optional.

If Fillion doesn't get it you know the film won't be good enough and that the director doesn't know the character or the games.

 

[Winterfel]

Is no one else sick and tired of playing games where you're a white American gunning down people of -opposite- ethnicities?

Good thing that dosn't make you sound like a racist yourself..

 

[Sizzle Montyjing]

Wait, there planning on getting capatain bland to play the part!?
SAY IT AIN'T SO!
Oh, and the wooden fish is freakin awsome, how could you not go with him!
...
They should have a detective-cop show: Detective Woode.N.Fish and Nathan Fillet in...
FISH FILLET!
pow, powpowpowpow...
WHAT!?

If Fillion doesn't get it you know the film won't be good enough and that the director doesn't know the character or the games.

So, you're suggesting that Nathan Fillion is the only actor in the world who is capable of playing the part of Nathan Drake? That's ridiculous.

Grey, I'm not sure whether this is your first article as a newsie or not, but nonetheless: great collection of letters you put together there, keep them coming.

Seeing the picture I wondered why he was petting a...fish carving?
But then I remember he tends to play Quirky Characters.

Avatar? Nobody went to see it

You lost all credibility right there.

 

[freakonaleash]

Too bad Sam Worthington's American accent is EPIC FAIL!

 

[Anacortian]

I get the feeling that Mr Carter is deeply, passionately, and erotically in love with Mr Fillion.

 

[mjc0961]

I can do that, Mr. Fillion. I don't want you to play Drake anyway, so of course I'm not going to pester the director to give you the role. Now get of the way, Nolan North is coming through.

Is no one else sick and tired of playing games where you're a white American gunning down people of opposite ethnicities?

GTA IV
GTA VC
Fallout 3
RDR
Fallout NV
BFBC2
CoD Blops ( you just had cubans at the 1st mision)
Modern warfare 2
Matro 2033
Stalker
Halo

Yeah the shooting opposite ethnicities part is wrong.

...Wtf is Fallout NV doing on that list?

Well if you look at the games, they are shooters. They arent white Americans gunning down other ethnicities. Do I really need to explain this.

If that's a list of shooters, I will have to repeat the question: WTF is Fallout New Vegas doing on that list? And Fallout 3 for that matter? Maybe you hadn't heard, but they're RPGs, not shooters.

Also, what is GTA Vice City doing on that list? You ARE a white American (Tommy Vercetti) gunning down other ethnicities during certain missions of the game (Hatians, Cubans, and French people. Maybe even more, it's been a while since I played). I'm not sure what point you were trying to make here, but maybe you should step back, think on it a bit more, and make a list of games that actually makes sense compared to what you're trying to say.

What? You just quoted half my sentence?. I said Nobody went to see it because of Sam Worthington, meaning of the millions who went to see it nobody did so because of Sam Worthinton.

Maybe you should be a little more clear next time so that it doesn't sound like you meant that it sold no tickets.

"the ruggedly handsome, Castle star, out of, quite understandable, spite."

Went a bit mad with the commas there, Grey.

 

[likalaruku]

.....Why is he hugging a bronze fish?

 

[I'mANinja]

Okay, yes, Nathan Fillion could be a good chose for the role, but I still feel that, the best choice is, Nolan North, he will sound exactly like Drake! And he even looks like Nathan Drake! I realize he isn't well known out of the video game industry, but, still my choice.

I will never understand The Escapist's bizzare man-crush on this guy...

This article feels like it was trying to lampoon David O. Russel in beginning, but it's hard to really care strongly in either direction without context. Sure I could look the situation up on Google, but that would mean giving a shit about film backstage politics, which is sort of the last thing I'd expect out of a new section that's predominately about video games.

Oh wait, I think I already figured that out with my first sentence: The Escapist is on Nathan Fillion's balls so hard that his crabs sport the "E" logo. Normally I'd expect this from the Critical Miss crew, but I've noticed the Fillion fanboyism bleeding out all over other parts of the site, and it's really quite perplexing...
