Highlander: Difference between revisions

* '''Highlander: The Animated Series''' (1994-1996) mostly ignores the established canon, though Connor MacLeod and Ramirez (from the original film) both make an appearance. It takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where the Immortals have agreed to a truce. Once everyone else has taken the oath, however, a [[Jerkass]] Immortal named Kortan [[I Lied|takes advantage]] of the binding truce to become [[Take Over the World|ruler of Earth]]. Several centuries later, new Immortal Quentin MacLeod is born. He is [[Curse Escape Clause|not bound by the oath]], making him the sole warrior able to face Kortan. His mentor Vincente Ramirez leads him on a quest to find the other Immortals and receive their knowledge, before Kortan does. Tagging along is Clyde of the Dundee, Quentin's adoptive sister. The series eventually spawned a game ''Highlander: The Last of the MacLeods'' for the [[Atari Jaguar]].

 

 

* '''''Highlander: The Search for Vengeance''''' (2007) is an [[Anime]] unrelated to any of the films or other adaptations. It starts in AD 125, somewhere in [[Roman Britain]]. A small village is wiped out by Roman troops led by Immortal Marcus Octavius. He is a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] who thinks an Empire is [[Utopia Justifies the Means|necessary to build a utopian society]]. This battle leads to the rise of another Immortal, Colin MacLeod. He is mentored by Amergan, the ghost of a druid. Colin devotes his life to seeking vengeance by killing Octavius. The film follows them in brief scenes taking place during a period of two millennia. The film was a critical hit and is thought to have a far more complex plot than most of the live-action sequels.
