This is supposed to be a high elf

>this is supposed to be a high elf
what were they thinking?

>what were they thinking?
quick guys lets throw in other races

I sacrifice kittens to the dark lord for assistance in making blizzard /activision bankrupt. This movie is a sign that my offerings please him.

looks high af to me

I mean, it looks like it is going to make a profit, so there is that. God damn, they just did not care about the lore at all in the movie.

They were thinking "hey, let's make an incredibly shitty low-budget Warcraft movie and secretly pocket the rest of the money."

Whatever they claimed their budget was, they pocketed at least half of that. Either that or they're just immensely incompetent. Actually, now that I think about it, it's probably the latter. There's that phrase "don't attribute to malice what you can attribute to incompetence", rings true to this day.

What was the budget? Even short CGI advertisements / trailers cost millions.

Apparently 160 million, which is an absolute disgrace for how shit the movie came out, but they did at least make a profit off it due to overseas popularity.

>"Warcraft has grossed $24.4 million in North America and $261.7 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $286.1 million"

Technically, blood elves are supposed to look vicious/mana dependant and full of scars/runes because of their age with sharp male features.
It wasn't until wow that they pussyfied them and guess it's safe to asume high elves should look like a bit more controlled version of those.

>why does this low resolution screenshot of a pirated movie in motion look bad

You want them to look like this instead?

High elf or blood elf? Werent the BE part of the alliance?

They're the same shit with minor differences, high elves helped the alliance before but they never truly belonged anywhere until they became blood elves and had to resort to the horde to deal with their issues.

yes
yes i do

You got a high res screenshot that looks good? Post that shit nigga.

but thats a wild elf, getting along with orcs n shit

nah, I saw it in theaters and it looks good when it's moving

Why is his skin red? Is he corrupted by fel magic or something?

Question for Warcraft fans, how accurate was the movie to the actual lore?

I thought the plot was horrendous but I'll give it a pass if the source material was stupid too

Weak, pathetic, unattractive neckbeard beta made specifically to appeal to the gamer crowd.

How is anyone not insulted by this?

It's fine.
Glowing eyes is unnecessary though.

There are SO many inconsistencies. I think I could've enjoyed it a lot more if I weren't too busy noticing how they fucked up everything.

Bad cosplay. Nothing more. That's why this movie is shit.

>Question for Warcraft fans, how accurate was the movie to the actual lore?
Very inaccurate.

this isn't from the movie right? looks like some youtuber skit

Because hes cute as fuck and could have my butthole anytime he wants.

>implying that he isn't more attractive than the 300lb average Sup Forumsirgin

Butchered the lore, cast of cringey fucks made this movie unwatchable if it wasnt for the orcs imo.

who is this semenous demonous

That's a damn shame, then there really is no forgiveness for how bad the plot was.

Human, the garona bitch, and elves look like youtuber cosplay bullshit. Cringey as fuck. Im buttmad I paid to watch this shit last night.

Speak for yourself, fatfuck.

High Elves became the Blood Elves after Arthas used the Sunwell to bring back kel'thuzad. They slowly started dying off or going crazy due to lack of mana. If you played Fallout imagine if the entire human race suddenly started turning into ghouls, with some dive bombing straight into ferals, but everyone going to be pure 100% feral in years. Then they went to Outland and discovered that they could metabolize Fel energy, and started doing that instead. Because Blood Elves are awesome and 'evolved' to metabolize energy rather than let it settle in their systems, they aren't corrupted by Fel energy except that it turns their eyes glowing green instead of blue.

Because a human leader was a dick to the blood elves and was literally going to execute their entire race because he only wanted pure humans on Azeroth, the Blood Elves escaped en mass to Outland. Later they returned to join with the Horde because humans might still want to kill them, Sylvanas an ex-ranger was queen of the forsaken, and the Horde would respect their strength without looking down upon them for not being human.

What parts of the plot did you like specifically?

I find the inaccuracies jarring, but even if it was accurate maybe you wouldn't care for it.

this movie was fucking great

High Elves eyes glow blue, they have since their unit was first introduced. Its also a huge point to identify High Elves from Blood Elves in WotLK. Saying they don't need to glow blue is like saying that they don't need blue eyes for the Fremen in Dune

...

I thought it looked good.

Do you really want them to all look like pretty fagboys?

I liked pretty much nothing. The beginning was dull and I nearly fell asleep and the end was written so poorly I had a hard time suppressing my laughter

its no where near making a profit at the moment.

If it didn't completely rewrite the events it was meant to depict it could have been. But I understand, we gotta rewrite a bunch of the dindus into protagonists so these WoWbabby for le Horde xD fuckers.

...

You have very low standards.

Looks like he's been taking too many sippies from the Sunwell.

Wait, what? The budget was 160 mil and they made 286 mil, at least according to Wikipedia. Are there other costs that come into account? To be completely honest I don't know much about movies and budgets so I'd like to know your viewpoint on it.

I enjoyed the movie :3 But I admit I enjoy most movies. So im pretty easy to please. :3 :3 Having shitty movie standards is fucking awesome.

I was actually very surprised they were so fucking ruthless in killing off Durotan and Draka. I expected they'd either bullshit them surviving or at least give them something kind of noble. Turns out they weren't even main characters, and both died like fucking punks.

BRUH...

Post your face when Garona kills Llane because he told her to

>that death gurgle Durotan makes
>Gul'dan soul zapping plebs back into line

the movie was a mess, but it had a few good scenes
durotan's death among them

>mfw that
>mfw Durotan and Draka aren't assassinated

because he's cute unlike your average Sup Forumsirgin :3c

I think Durotan's movie death was better than his game death, minus his arms getting sliced off.

They need somewhere in the vicinity of 600 million to at least strike even. Ticket sales arent a 1:1 thing. And it continues to cost them money to keep it out in theatres and market.

Generally they need to make at least twice as much their production budget for a profit. But that was a standard from many years ago. Its often cited as at least 3 or more times. Considering how big the warcraft movies was meant to to be, 500-600 million is the often mentioned needed amount to be considered getting any profit.

The scene itself was great, and I suppose out of all of the changes they made, how they handled their deaths was the least offensive retcon.

What's the dynamic between Sylvanas and her former brethren anyway?

>They could have rejoined the Alliance if it weren't for Jaina
Jaina killed off in a raid when?

I'll post the prologue if you like to read.
Maybe I or someone else can tldr it for you.


>the end was written so poorly
Gul'dan is supposed to control the horde from the shadows, and he has other warlocks working under him.
Draenor isn't dying and a lot of orc clans remain there.
Blackhand is the warchief, but Gul'dan falls into a coma when Medivh dies, at which point Doomhammer kills Blackhand and takes control of the horde.
Doomhammer doesn't trust the warlocks and has them killed and makes Gul'dan submit to him as he wakes up.
Stormwind is sacked. Lothar, the prince and azeroth refugees flee north.

Mostly indifferent since her sister has been MIA forever.

it's still fucking stupid that it wasn't really the Legion-led Fel Horde

why the fuck would they give a shit about muh honor and tradition if they were supposed to have been corrupted before going through the portal

>They need somewhere in the vicinity of 600 million to at least strike even.
What the fuck are you even talking about?

>Ticket sales arent a 1:1 thing.
And?

>And it continues to cost them money to keep it out in theatres and market.
Jesus fuck you really know nothing about this shit.

>

Stop pulling misinformation from your ass.

I agree, but it happened too soon and barely had weight
the aformentioned scene and the lothar vs blackhand fight should have happened simultaneously

>Technically, blood elves are supposed to look vicious/mana dependant and full of scars/runes because of their age with sharp male features.

They're not blood elves you fuckwit.

...

She almost convined one sister to join the forsaken.

The other has been traveling through space fighting demons for millions of years.

I'm not joking.

>What the fuck are you even talking about?

>I know nothing about the film industry

Yeah I saw that bit from Legion, I guess time passes much more slowly in the Twisting Nether or wherever the fuck her and Turalyon ended up?

Oh damn, I had no clue, thank you for the insight man. Apparently that other user disagrees with you but he still said "generally they need to make at least twice as much their production budget for a profit" but that's actually exactly what you said so who knows. I guess we'll never really know the truth unless the Warcraft producers discuss whether they lost money on it or not.

>She almost convined one sister to join the forsaken.
Haacks wife?

>millions

What?

cocaine is a helluva drug

You get a transmission from Alleria and Turalyon where they say they've been battling the Legion for thousands of years or some shit. Naturally this is confusing given they have been missing for about 20.

At the start she saw them as kindred spirits because they were both 'forsaken' by those they called allies. She also acted like she might like the idea of having her brethren part of the Horde fighting alongside her. Now she kinda acts like they are a part of her forces, but she still prefers to work with them over other units outside the Forsaken.

She also loves flirting/threatening Lor'themar, and she mentions multiple times that she plans on making him a consort when he dies and she brings him back. The failure of SoO if Lor'themar dies Sylvanis says "Finally, I can't wait to see how beautiful you are when I bring you back!" and then everything fades and raid is reset.

...

But they had a kid in Outland, and Turalyon is a human.

>"Finally, I can't wait to see how beautiful you are when I bring you back!"
noice

Boner out of nowhere.

Look at him: He's a Paladin, rules don't apply to him

The pacing itself was pretty bad towards the middle and end.

It also gave you no sense in scale.

The first scene starts in Draenor, then Ironforge, then immediately cuts to Stormwind, then immediately cuts to Karazhan, then back to the Black Morass, back to Stormwind, then to Goldshire, then to Deadwind Pass, etc.

As someone who plays the game, I completely understood. My girlfriend however, had no clue how far they were traveling.

The sense of time from Stormwind to Goldshire was at least a 2 day travel.

Khadgar makes it all the way to Dalaran (which is floating? Uhh) in the far North lear Lordaeron. He is then immediately back to Stormwind to deliver news to the gang, and knew exactly what was happening after it was established Fel magic was incredibly dangerous and not well understood. Ben Foster acted the fuck out of his trainwreck of dialogue. The Medivh/Khadgar relationship was not properly translated.

The fight scenes between the Orcs were cool. The fight between Blackhand and Lothar was really bad. Gul'dan was cool, but again not properly translated from the novels.


The second movie will likely be a mashup of the ending of WC1 and some navy battles from WC2, culminating to the Battle of Blackrock, and the heroes going thru the Black Gate with the skull of Gul'dan.

The CGI is good. It looks shitty on Youtube, but it looked good on the silver screen.

>I know nothing about the film industry
Yeah you've proven that already, you didn't need to announced it a second time. As someone who was the assistant manager of a chain of theatres that spanned from Nevada to SoCal, who knows little about how movies make money, it's blatantly obvious that I still know more than whatever the fuck you're saying.

The fact of the matter is that profit is on a movie-by-movie basis, and trying to make any kind of sweeping claim that a movie is or isn't making a profit when you clearly don't fucking know, is fucking retarded.

For example, marketing costs, can be anywhere from 45% to 160% of a movie's production costs, but here you are, trying to spell out sweeping "average numbers" as if there's some market standard because you're just some tween on the internet that thinks he knows shit.

I bet you don't even fucking know the percentage of money that actually goes to the production studio from a movie ticket, you just know that it isn't 1:1, because that's a completely fucking obvious statement.

Jaina actually wasn't the original reason they joined the Horde, she just stopped the peace treaty the BE were trying to work between the Alliance and Horde by slaughtering a bunch of BE and even some Kirin Tor High Elves.

Originally the human general in charge of the Alliance forces in WC3 was evil as fuck and hated all non-human races. He seemed okay with the Dwarves because they were kind of like humanity's sidekick at that point. He forced the Blood Elves to hold a line separate from all other Alliance forces, gave them no aid, and sent them on a suicide mission. The Naga helped the BE under orders by their queen who used to be a Highbourne High Elf. The human leader saw this as treason and sentenced their entire race to be exterminated, throwing them into the same dungeons and camps they used to use to keep the Orc race as slaves before they escaped.

Does the movie have nelves?

I think most of the 45 minutes they cut were from the start, I remember Grom was supposed to have lines.

Something tells me if I asked you for a source on that bullshit you'd say MMO Champion, at which point I would laugh and call you a retarded faggot.

This, probably.
I liked it

>tfw Sylvanas is gonna bring back Varian and make him her personal bitchboy after he dies in Legion

>The second movie will likely be a mashup of the ending of WC1 and some navy battles from WC2, culminating to the Battle of Blackrock, and the heroes going thru the Black Gate with the skull of Gul'dan.
It's gonna be tough to fit in the latter part of wc1 with wc2, when wc2 is much longer than wc1.

I think you're right though, I just don't think they'll pull it off very well. There'll be annoying cuts.
Maybe they'll even get rid of the naval aspect.
They use wow geography so there's not a lot of water between azeroth and lordaeron anyway.

>Jaina actually wasn't the original reason they joined the Horde
Oh I know, I'm talking about when Varian was working with Lor'themar to bring them back into the Alliance and then she fucked everything up. I remember the events of WC3 very clearly.

Jaina for leader of the Alliance when?
Horde subhumans need to be purged.

>The Naga helped the BE under orders by their queen who used to be a Highbourne High Elf
The nagas used to be highborne night elves.

>Sylvanas will never bear a child
>not with a fellow elf, not with arthas king of lordaeron, not with varian

Oh god, if they had that and Anduin is just crying and pissing himself in a corner while his now crazy powerful undead father is ripping and tearing his way through demons I would build a church to dedicated to Green Jesus who is also Moses in the movie...
Sorry, my mistake.

>undead
>child
Being an undead, also means being and undad

i want to fuck that orc girl Corona while sipping a corona

>>undead
>>child
Yeah that's why she will never bear a child.

Reminds me of the Dune Mentats for some reason.
