The TGWTG 4th anniversary special

That's why I stay away from pages linked with the big three. Too many squatters.

Most of us don't bite.

I wasn't the one who added the note about 'the lampshaded walk'. But I did add the last two WMG'S, to which I only added back the last one, and the possibility of other sci-fi tropes being parodied in this film as well, which was also deleted for reasons no one explained.

Nope. All that's deleted now has been the theories of Spoony being Put on a Bus and it being the last anniversary special, both of which were explained.

"Spoony went on a killing spree and stashed their bodies on the set of the 4th special, and this is all an elaborate cover up!"

So why won't Handsome Tom, That Dude In The Suede, and Luke appear?

Suede lives in New Zealand. Flying him in would be terribly expensive.

Ah.

I thought Luke was going to be in this one.

As for Tom, commentaries for the last two anniversaries have mentioned that he really doesn't like acting and only went to hang out and have fun. I wouldn't be surprised if he just decided not to go this year. Or had a scheduling conflict, or something.

What the hell? Luke's in this one, he's sitting right next to Marz in that cast photo.

The only person confirmed to be in the film that was not in the picture was The Last Angry Geek, and he's in the trailer (briefly).

Oancitizen flashed on screen at one point too.

I haven't seen this cast picture. Could someone link to it?

Luke is the "please" in that picture, right?

EDIT: Dammit, how dare you fix the "No hotlinked images, please." thing and ruin my joke!

...and he was in the cast photo. Wearing Yoda ears.

I thought I'd revive this thread since there'd be a lot of talking about To Boldly Flee next week.

Awesome special effects. I'm also interested in how the Chick-Todd-Lupa love triangle will be dealt with.

I'm half looking forward to that subplot, half nervous. Excited because Chick looks pretty evil and I'm a sucker for that, nervous because Todd, Lindsay and Allison are hilarious and it'd suck if that was their only thing to do for eight days.

I'm sure they'll have assorted one-liners.

What I'm more nervous about is that most of the contributors will be generic background snark like they were in the last two anniversaries.

I really don't think that'll happen this time. Chick/Todd/Lupa have got their thing. Film Brain looks woobie. Snob looks to be brainwashed. Luke has his Star Wars riff. Phelous is in the captain's chair when Critic's not around...

And how I could forget Mechakara with this◊ face?

That still leaves Paw, and Angry Joe, and Jew Wario, and Sad Panda, and Marz Gurl, and Jesu Otaku, and...

Yeah. Honestly, the more I think about it the less I think scaling down the anniversaries cast-wise would be a bad idea.

Well putting in a storyline for every person would just result in an unenjoyable mess, and the storylines the trailers hinted at seem delicious anyway. We might as well wait until it's actually showing to decide it's best to scale the cast down for anniversaries .

Angry Joe and Marzgurl seems to have a team-up in their own little quest. Jesu Otaku is Radical Edward and mostly likely will be in charge of the technical issues on the ship, thereby providing needed exposition.

Shall we use this thread for each installment discussion?

Yes.

I think JO said on Twitter that she's mostly just there for one-off jokes about her character—like Marzgurl as San in Suburban Knights, I'm guessing. Sort of a waste of talent, but inevitable with a cast this size.
