Petition to Bring Tucker and Dale from Tucker and Dale vs. Evil as a Exclusive Survivor Release

So I feel like there is a high focus in this game of bringing in interesting licensed killers which does make sense for the type of game that it is. But especially with the changes going on with the game, I feel like it would be a good move to actually release an interesting licensed survivor for a change. It seems like there are so few horror movies with survivor characters that are as or more interesting than the killer if there is one. The only times I believe a licensed survivor has been released separate from a killer release was for Bill Overbeck and Ash Williams.

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil is a very interesting movie. The premise of the film is that Tucker and Dale are going to vacation in a log cabin in the woods when they encounter a group of teenagers. One of the female teens ends up injuring herself and when the pair try to help her by bringing her back to their cabin the teens mistake this for them trying to kidnap her and label them as serial killers. What ensues is all out war where the teens try and hunt and killer Tucker and Dale who have no idea what's going on. Instead of killing them though, the teens end up killing themselves over and over in ways that make Tucker and Dale look more and more guilty of being killers.

The movie has quite an interesting concept and a cult following and it would be very fun to have a release of survivors who themselves have been mistaken as killers. You can do some interesting perk ideas based around the movies premise as well. Perks maybe having to do with luck or mistaken identity. One idea I thought was a perk where similar to dead hard you can dodge or duck from a killer attack (however it would still inflict injury unlike dead hard). Perhaps a perk that that increases your luck (or unluckiness) and makes it so gen repair and healing incurs more frequent skill checks than normal.

Either way I think it's long overdue that Survivors actually get an interesting character release that isn't simply tied to whatever killer is being focused on and Tucker and Dale at least to me seems like it would be quite an interesting release of characters.

If anyone would like to see this maybe show support for it in this post :)

    That was a great movie.

    A little sad we never got part 2.

    Would be two funny characters but i highly doubt this will ever happen.

    Tucker and Dale was a great movie, putting them in DbD would be awesome. They'd fit right in next to Ash Williams.

    Just want to bring this discussion back up with the release of Nicolas Cage not too far away, I really wish the dev's could do a survivor release people could actually find unique and interesting and not just for a meme that makes people forget how awful the last several releases even were.
