Wait. What?

Wait. What?

I mean, Moon was pretty great.

I'm just as upset as you are. This is 9.5 AT LEAST....

You can rate it already? Just fans boosting the score.

This gonna be good

With enough advertising money, anything is possible before the movie is actually released.

Oh they dead, they dead as hell.

Well that article was made last year.

What are you gonna do about it? Cry into your pillow?

Holy fuck I'm mad

>disrespecting soldiers
>disrespecting Tolkien
>dismissing him as just an "old white man"

there's more depth and diversity in LOTR than the garbage Blizzard churns out. Warcraft has the depth of a kiddie pool.

Warcraft I is pretty anti 'diversity'.

The savage green people invade the peaceful human's land and destroy it.

Metzen or who ever was responsible for that response is so fucking far up his ass, it's unbelievable.

Warcraft writing is mediocre at best, catering to edgy teens and 30 somethings with ponytails who watch Anime and obsess over waifus. It's written for those people who actually like National History channel, who think that the chopshop dudes who always fight amongst themselves are interesting and cool.

Well, he isn't incorrect. Kind of like how Geroge R.R. Martin isn't an old white man in the trenches in World War I. His books have a different vibe.

It's Duncan Jones. I don't understand why people talk about Blizzard when this movie is all Legendary Pictures. It's like getting mad at Stan Lee for the new X-men movie.

Still an autistic thing to say, regardless. I'm not even a Tolkien fan, but it's obvious whose writing is better.

Directors say autistic shit all the time without thinking. Actors too.
This kind of shit you just can't hold on to because it's pointless. Duncan is just talking up his own movie and whether he made a statement about the Tolkien thing is something I don't care to look up.

The marketing for this movie is already horrid. Whether it's actually good or not is something we'll find out in a few weeks.

I'm playing WC for the first time now (kinda, it's the WC campaign made in WC3) and the factions really are black and white. I thought WC2 had clear-cut morality, but WC describes Azeroth as a paradise before the Orcs invaded and started killing everything. It's brutal and dark as fuck.

Unfortunately, retcons

Im mad I'll admit it

The amount of changes done to the original story and how they appear to be done just kinda screams, "This needs to be really good, we need to make warcraft into whats hip and cool now"

I'm interested to see how they bullshit Thrall being born green despite both his parents being untainted.

Blizzard didn't start developing empathy for the Horde until WC3 with the Lethargy of the Orcs. So it's an old as shit retcon and not anything new. The Orcs were designed as the bad guys but Blizzard wanted a bigger campaign for WC3 so they had to have some character development for the Orc race. Kind of like what they did for the Zerg in SC2, adding unnecessary depth for the sake of expansion and adding more characters with the Primal Zerg.

The thrall being green thing was explained a long time ago. The fel blood cursed all orcs even the ones who didn't drink it.
I heavily anticipate people complaining about Medivh being corrupt by Sargeras in the movie when it was something explained in WC3.

I feel like I'm the only one who follows the lore so deeply.

The Medivh being corrupt thing is a retcon done back in either WC3 or BC, I don't remember. I guess Blizzard decided a wizard wanting to rule the world wasn't good enough.
Why is corruption the only motivation for any villain in Warcraft?

I like Warcraft and I liked WoW.

I want this movie to not suck, but I know it'll be fucking terrible. I can feel it.

>talking shit about Tolkien
dis gon be good

Everything bad that happens is supposed to circle back to the Sargeras/Old gods.

I must have missed that bit, or blocked it out since how does someone else drinking a mtn dew somehow make my own piss green?

I want it to suck.

Based on the merchandise and the characterization of most of it, I really don't want the dude to get to make 2 more as he said if this one does well enough.

>not understanding his point

I want something to watch and look forward to that isn't capeshit.

>Ostra biegunka może być groźna dla rotawirusową

kurwa

The movie is retcons galore via WoW/Metzen on his 10 year coke binge

You say this like movies never alter shit or retcon anything. Remember the female Dwarf in the Hobbit?

I don't think this movie is going to be bad.

I think at worst, it will be average.

But no matter what, it will still be more fun to watch than Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Cashgrab

>warcraft 4 will take place in the movie universe
Can't wait
By the way, what do you think about the fact that it's Lothar who will kill Blackhand and not Doomhammer in the movie?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I AM SO ANGRY
AAAAAAAAAAAAA
FUCKING KILL YOURSELVES BLIZZARD
I HOPE YOU ALL GET CLUSTER HEADACHES

I have never felt this much hate in my entire life.

Fucking retard.
If I were David Bowie I'd die of shame too if my son said something as retarded as this.

What's with all the republicans on Sup Forums?

...

God that story had such interesting concepts. The short story was neat as well

>you have to be a conservatard to find this statement idiotic

Back to SRS with you.

Sup Forums's growing up, obviously.

...

>what do you think about the fact that it's Lothar who will kill Blackhand and not Doomhammer in the movie?
Literally for what reason

>not wishing well for Bowie's son

It was written by a young white man who grew up in wealth with his head up his ass

who said this

Tolkien is like the archetype for old white men. It's up to you if you consider old white man to be a bad thing or not.

And to be honest lord of the rings is archaic, it wouldn't hold up today, it holds up because it's a classic. But that kind of naive romance doesn't fly in the modern era.

this. People tend to lean more and more right when they get older.

also a little of this too

B T F O

I've never seen such a retarded statement my God.

The director/writer

Yea its kind of funny how dumb these people really are.

People born this century now post on Sup Forums.

Naive and romance are being used as very specific terms here.

And it is very naive and pure romanticism. And romanticism is dead as shit.

You realize that initial votes come from people who never seen it and are just fanboys of the series in general?
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull had almost 9.5/10 for the first few days, and now it's widely regarded as a terrible and unnecessary sequel

Only because modern fantasy and romance are built upon Tolkien as a foundation.

As far as depth is concerned, Tolkien's worldbuilding dwarves that of the Warcraft universe - and I say that as a huge lorefag and fan of Warcraft.

Wait for Trump to win. 3 or 4 years later the contrarians will turn the other way. I know its really hard to believe after 8 years of Obama, but when this site was new, Bush was president and Republicans and conservatives in general were pariahs here.

This has been a good year for Blizzard

While LotR certainly isn't high literature or anything it's still way ahead of anything Blizzard's writers hae produced. Naiveté isn't bad in and off itself you stupid nigger

>he thinks a romantic story can hold up in world where post-modernism has infected every aspect of the audience

>fanboys who haven't seen it giving it 10s

I will never understand the "Its not important for me to win, its important that others lose" mentality. I want this to be a good movie so I have a good movie to watch.

Or something so magnificiently bad its entertaining like Gods of Egypt.

>games always showed multicultural references
>everyone loved it or found it funny or nobody gave a shit
>that time's post happens
>IM FUCKING MAD REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Just like trannies were always allowed to whatever fucking bathroom they wanted and they made a big deal of it not long ago, huh?

...

phone posters are not cancer :^)

Yes because he spent decades doing it and did it partly as an exercise in linguistics.

If blizzard wanted they too could have their own conlang and then they'd be at about the same point. Arda is ntohing but pure romanticism though, and while that can be fun in it's own way it's really nothing more than a bit of fun to talk about the elf king striking morgoth so he forevermore walked with a limp. It really does start and end at "it's a bit of fun" and the main reason it remains more than that in any way is because it's old and served as a major foundation.

>Naiveté isn't bad in and off itself you stupid nigger

I'd disagree but I never said it was, I just said it would never fly in a world where everyone thinks their media and genre savvy.

I'll watch it hopefully it won't cause hours of heartache

...fuck

If I was that age still I'd still be in my "lord of the rings is literally the coolest shit ever" phase.

Now I'm just kinda "eh, Tolkien did a lot on his own which is cool but outside of it as a work of passion it's nothing special" the books are good fun and I enjoy the silmirilion a lot, but honestly romanticism just does nothing for me anymore, it's all kinda trite. Like how at the moment the ironics are also trite.

>It really does start and end at "it's a bit of fun"
I think you misinterpreted what Tolkien wanted to do. He didn't strife to create a bestseller or the cornerstone for modern fantasy. He mainly wanted to create a universe fo his language, to give it a believable background. Also, he tried to create a mythology, like the old celtic/ norse ones.
The Hobbit and LotR were just nice byproducts made for his children.

>but honestly romanticism just does nothing for me anymore
So I guess your age is around 16-20 years old

Medihv being corrupted by Sargeras was a retcon from The Last Guardian novel. He just went crazy due to power before that.

I don't care if this is bait
Fuck you for posting this

Figured - I needed a name
It's Duncan Jones a.k.a Zowie Bowie

>Zowie Bowie
fucking hell, I get why he doesn't go by it
What a shithead though, shame he's Bowie's offspring

I can't tell which is more corny. Just going crazy with power or being corrupted. Blizzard writing is bad.

LotR was made for his publisher, the hobit was for his children.

and he kinda failed completley at believable background, he created an epic mythology but it doesn't become interesting really at any point, it remains cool and romatnic but it starts and ends with that, if someone did the same thing now they wouldnt' get half the respect he did.

They've poured more money in to this tripe than their games. You really think they're gonna risk it getting bad reviews? They've paid off every damn outlet. Guaranteed.

>series that borrowed almost every element of its world and lore directly from LotR
>"no we're not like LotR at all lol Tolkien was racist ha ha LotR didn't shape the entire landscape for fantasy stories for a century pls watch my movie"

At least simply going crazy with power is a break from the usual

He made Moon, though.

That was a great film.

not even a phone post

I don't think film reviews work the same as video game reviews.

k

No it isn't. That's Lost in Space spider tier writing.

Yes, but for Blizzard it's a whole new world

It was okay. 7/10 at best

Dead on arrival.

25, the romantics interested me when I was that age, now I'd say anti-art is the tihng that captures my interest.

I guess.

>you have to be a republican to respect soldiers and people like Tolkien

Videogame movies are cancer.

>7/10

fuck off pleb moon was great

1000 ratings with movie not even properly out
vs
150k+ with movie out for quite a while

ishygddt

Those are some nice opinions you sure are cool for sharing.

You seem to be making the mistake that your opinions hold weight though, or are in any way representative of the truth.

>orcs invade a planet and murder the natives with the intent to conquer them
>they will be portrayed as good guys
>any humans who have a problem with this will be portrayed as bad guys

This movie is going to be Shekelberg as fuck

Blizzard is full on shill mode right now with both a game and the movie coming out this month. There's at least 10 Blizzard related threads up at all times on Sup Forums. Kinda pathetic.

In the past few years IMDB has been completely irrelevant for at least a month after a movie comes out. And even then most are scored higher than they deserve

Did the marketing team forget what movie they were marketing for?

Pleb detected.

Who?
