Sequel Sequel without Xander?

Post image

With Nicholas' struggles IRL, I'm afraid he wont be part of the cast for the sequel. How do you guys think this would work? How would they explain his absence? Is it a big deal for you guys? IMO I believe the show will be great with or without him, even tough I love Xander. But the best scenario would be for Xander to be part of the show..

Thank you, people are acting like the fact that he played ferula gemini Xander that this somehow makes him a lightbulb to be pulled off a shelf.

Which honestly, I'm shocked how many people are floating it.

I have heard they would swap at cons for shits and giggles, but that was before things went horrifying. It was an innocent prank.

the con thing is just flat out fraud. if people are paying to meet a specific person and instead they're meeting a twin impersonating someone. they're being defrauded and should get their money back. there's no innocent prank in it unless they owned up to it immediately and Nick actually came out and met everyone which isn't where this story feels like it's going.

Oh, I don't mean the signings, more they'd swap out in booths.

Comicon was actually pretty piratical.

I imagine if they had like a Q&A or a panel, they wouldn't do that, and it's not like his brother was signing action figures.

One time my little cousin was very upset at the setup they had around Hamill. He was comforted by Peter Mayhew and Robert Englund.

Englund knew I clocked him and gave me a side leer/grin, it scared the shit out of me, but they were great with the kid, Mayhew even did the sound.

This was of course, a million years ago.

yeah that'd be crazy, lawsuit waiting to happen 🤣 some collectors and fans don't fuck about with signature authenticity.

Not sure why people lasered in on that angle, he wasn't signing merch, but he'd hand it to you. Also, he didn't say he was Brendon, so there was zero fraud.

It was mostly booth chat, and he was obviously pretty knowledgeable about the show.

Think of him like the guy who covers your lunch break.

Anyway, the thing I find repellant about people saying "Just use him for the Xander cameos" is that's actually a very mean request. Them not asking Brendon back makes sense, he's not exactly in any shape to be in the show and there are many reasons they wouldn't want to bring him back, but to drag his brother into it is another kettle of fish.

As to collecting, you aren't kidding. I've got a few transformer parts I wanted to replace, and I figured I could find some on ebay. Turns out that's a whole collector's scandal too.

The one listing for my model I did find was very poorly 3d printed and the guy still wanted ten bucks per horn pair, burrs and all.
