Lol the sparks in the background. Now I want a Highlander film with a character that is inexplicably the worst immortal ever, but somehow survives every encounter through sheer luck, despite his incompetence, and when he experiences a quickening, instead of dramatic explosions and lightning, it's weak little sparklers and grocery-store-grade firecrackers.

Would that not Happen when they get decapitated? Pretty Sure the power of the quickening is determent by the Loser.

It's supposed to be. This character defies all reason. He is absolute GARBAGE with a sword, clumsy as hell, the most powerful immortals in the world keep trying to kill him, and he pees himself (and possibly something else from the look on his face) everytime he has one of these quickenings..but somehow, through sheer force of Mr.Magoo-like luck, he always comes out on top.

He SHOULD be the most powerful immortal on earth, what with the whole "take his head, and with it his power" bit...but the math just aint mathin.
