Nathan Fillion is dead (relax, it's XCOM)

revrew · 02-22-2013, 03:07 PM

Many of you know Canadian-born actor Nathan Fillion from his role as "Captain 'Mal' Reynolds" from the TV show "Firefly" and follow-up movie "Serenity."

Still others are familiar with his role as "Richard Castle" in the TV series "Castle."

Fillion, however, faced a moment of panic during a tragic trip to Cordoba, Argentina, when violence erupted in the streets and the car he was taking cover behind exploded, resulting in fatal wounds and almost instantaneous death. Had he not been so panicked in the face of danger, he surely would have taken better cover.

Also, had he not been so panicked, he likely would not have squeezed the trigger on fellow thespian Alyssa Milano, who is now also in the hospital recovering from grave wounds. She is, however, expected to survive.

Despite Commander Zed's chagrin over Fillion's fire upon a fellow soldier, the leader of the Xcom Celeb force ( https://www.facebook.com/XComCelebrity ) had good things to say about the former actor.

"Perhaps it was his role as Captain Mal that prompted him to sign up to fight aliens, perhaps it was a sort of earthly patriotic duty," Zed said. "Whatever the case, Nathan Fillion has become the first casualty among the elite, trained celebrities fighting to save the earth from alien invasion. Someone has to put up a fight while the governments of the world have by and large run into hiding in the face of this threat. While the politicians cow-tow to their gray-skinned overlords like the sniveling sycophants they are, men like Nathan Fillion should be remembered and honored as men among boys, heroes among cowards: the few, the brave, the celebrities."

Might want to make it clear in thread title that this is fictitious.

AnalBumCover · 02-22-2013, 03:11 PM

I see what you did there.

Suicane75 · 02-22-2013, 03:11 PM

Not cool.

stevew · 02-22-2013, 03:11 PM

Poor form

DaddyTorgo · 02-22-2013, 03:12 PM

Yeah seriously - not cool. I was like "WTF!!!!"

KWhit · 02-22-2013, 03:12 PM

What the hell?

korme · 02-22-2013, 03:14 PM

Way off base man

Chief Rum · 02-22-2013, 03:14 PM

WTF?

This is one of my favorite actors. Change that title.

One of my GF's favorite, too. Before I checked your full post, I was having this deep dread I was going to have to tell her one of our favorite actors is dead.

Damn, man, that's messed up.

Please keep your fake death announcements to twitter where they belong.

Marmel · 02-22-2013, 03:14 PM

Poor form

mauchow · 02-22-2013, 03:15 PM

Holy fuck. I had a moment of oooh no.

Agree change title.

revrew · 02-22-2013, 03:16 PM

Come now, fellas. I write headlines for a living. I know how to get attention fast, as your flurry of responses demonstrates.

Let it be a lesson to actually READ the articles you see online, rather than just their headlines.

Besides, lighten up. WTF?? is exactly the response I was going for.

mckerney · 02-22-2013, 03:17 PM

If your goal was to make sure a bunch of people will never follow your dynasty I have to applaud you, well done.

stevew · 02-22-2013, 03:17 PM

Then you're trolling

Suicane75 · 02-22-2013, 03:17 PM

Odd. At first I was like "Oh shit, oh no". Then I was like "That's fucked up to post something like that". Now I'm all like "Why the fuck was I so upset over Nathan Fillion". Now I'm all like "I'm glad it wasn't Tony Shalub".

DaddyTorgo · 02-22-2013, 03:18 PM

Box troll please

Response is more along the lines of, "you can go fuck yourself," rather than WTF.

Problem is, I read about half your article before realizing It wasn't true, I still have no idea what the hell you're talking about because I don't give much of a fuck, it's still a douchey thing to do.

I was trying to be nice, but I almost typed "go fuck yourself"

revrew · 02-22-2013, 03:20 PM

Well, I can take correction where correction is merited. I really do think y'all are overreacting, but nonetheless, title amended.

stevew · 02-22-2013, 03:20 PM

If we start posting hot chicks in this thread maybe it will get moderated.

MacroGuru · 02-22-2013, 03:24 PM

Funny thing is, I have been following the dynasty and I still came in here and said...WTF...

Kodos · 02-22-2013, 03:25 PM

Rev, you're definitely in the wrong here.

OK. I concede and apologize. Title changed, I think in an appropriate manner.

JediKooter · 02-22-2013, 03:28 PM

Definitely some over reactions going on here. I thought it was a parody thread and I was trying to figure which thread was being parodied.

claphamsa · 02-22-2013, 03:43 PM

i still dont get it...

Now THIS is a funny parody post!

I love this place to death, and it's one of the only places on the internet where I have even a sliver of a presence. With that disclaimer of love: But every so often FOFC collectively reminds me of Margaret Dumont of the old Marx Brothers movies. Someone's always more than happy to drop their monocle, and get their righteous indignation on, regardless of topic.

RedKingGold · 02-22-2013, 06:11 PM

Irony. I love it.

Really, there's only one fitting punishment for this infraction:

Godspeed, rook.

Suicane75 · 02-22-2013, 06:33 PM

FTR, I haven't watched a Nathan Fillion vehicle since 2GAGAAPS. I just think it's pretty tasteless to declare someone dead who isn't. I think it's even more tasteless to declare Alyssa Milano gravely injured.

AnalBumCover · 02-22-2013, 06:40 PM

I wonder how the Twitter universe is reacting.

wishbone · 02-22-2013, 06:46 PM

I don't understand, I thought all deaths on here were announced ", we hardly knew ye". How could anyone take this seriously? Or did I miss an edit?
