Talk:The Mighty Ducks (movies)
I've deleted the Fan fiction section because it really holds no importance to the might ducks movies. Buffy the Vampire Slayer has a larger fan fiction following and its wikipedia article only mentions fanfiction once, let alone an entire subheading. It's very confusing when one minute you're reading about the mighty ducks sequels and the next minute youre reading about fantasy homosexual relationships between characters in a pee-wee hocky team. --Cammoore 11:44, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Fan Fiction
[edit]Much of the action in the trilogy passes through with scant details about the characters and few character arcs (apart from Bombay). To fill this apparent void, many fans have turned to fan fiction and have written stories exploring with considerable depth the backgrounds, possible motives, and personal lives of the players. The ensemble nature of the Ducks films provides a large pool of interpretable characters, not unlike the fan fiction based on characters from Harry Potter books. Many writers take advantage of this to either create a personality for one particular character or combine other characters to form unique stories. Moreover, some of the characters who appear only on D1 often are united with those who appear only on D2 and D3.
Today, the Mighty Ducks films enjoy a strong fan fiction tradition. To date (2004), FanFiction.net hosts over 750 different stories based on Mighty Ducks characters. Some popular pairings include Connie Moreau/Guy Germaine (usually for romance stories) and Les Averman/Greg Goldberg (usually for comedies). Slash fiction is popular, with many writers exploring a homosexual relashionship between Charlie Conway and Adam Banks. Among the most popular are those relating to the musings of Fulton Reed and Dean Portman (the "Bash Brothers"), presumably because of their distantly polar yet matchable personalities and their duties as enforcers.
Averman's First Name (5/11/05)
[edit]I'm confused. In D2 the announcer (in either the US-Germany game or second US-Iceland game) announces Averman's first name as Lester when he approaches the face-off circle, which is what is listed in the article. However, in the original Mighty Ducks, when Bombay meets District 5 for the first time and reads off the roster list, he says "Averman, Dave". Is Dave his real name, a nickname, or an error by the scriptwriters?
