>>68173395
When /tv/ realizes that LOTR is only considered great because it came first, both the movies and the books. It's a simple story with simple characters with simple motivations told well in both cases, but it's not much beyond that.
>>
>>68173451
To add, warcraft isn't great. It is to fantasy what star wars is to sci fi- a ridiculous amalgamation of stolen plot elements designed to be fun above all else. I have hopes for the movie purely because of the director.

Yet the Warcraft trailer(s) look like fucking dogshit and make the movie look like a typical trash-tier video game movie. It's a shame the movie doesn't seem to reflect your description, OP.

Tolkien's writings are much more than just some little adventure story. He basically chronicled Middle Earth/Arda as if it were a real place and The Silmarillion describes events from the creation of the universe to the third age (where the Red Book of Westmarch (The Hobbit/LOTR kicks in), invented dozens of languages and it's incredibly well written.

Is the premise basic? Sure, but it elevates the material and that's what makes them so good.

It pains me to say it, but this is just fucking bullshit. Yes, Middle-Earth has deeper lore than most settings, but that's about it.

Other than autistic detail and being among the first, Tolkien's setting is pretty weak.

The Silmarillion must be one of the most BORING things I've ever read.

>Good guys win with no major loss
What is the destruction of Gondor, the departing of the age of Elves, the scourging of the shire, the death of Boromir, Theodin, Frodo, etc. etc. etc.

>I'm 12 and war is awesome xD
War in LotR is seen as a tragic necessity which brings pain, strife, and loss as opposed to Warcraft where war exists to advance a plot. Also, Tolkien actually fought in a real fucking war, as opposed to the nerdy autists who wrote Warcraft.

>Simple, uninteresting characters
Who are Boromir, Frodo, Sam, Denethor, Aragorn, Grima, Galadriel, Eowyn, Theodin, and fucking Gollum. Just because you're too pleb to understand internal character conflict doesn't mean the characters are simple.

>Warriors, archers, mages
This is fucking stupid as shit, but to play along, LotR has Necromancers, shape-shifters-AKA druids (Beorn), and Thanes.

>boring landscape, looks like england
What is Moror, Rohan, Rhun, Rivendell, etc.

>No aliens
I don't see how this is a negative.

>>68192792
I wasn't even the guy who said tolkien couldn't write, this argument just makes me mad, even though I've seen more people use it in regards to a movie

also I never said I didn't read it, just suggested that making a move or writing a book that's better than what you criticize is not necessary to actually make critique.

in fact I've read LotR twice, in English and my first language, I though it was OK, but it's probably the only book that wasn't better or even on the same level as the film that was based on it, I'm no expert on writing but I though it was kind of dull and reading about epic battles fell flat when they were described like in history book of some sort, I liked first GoT tome though and though the writing was more engaging for what it was and yet it's generally considered to be utter plebcore so I guess I'm not really the one to judge).

If you can't tell generic high fantasy shit from LOTR shit you should probably just stop trying.

It's something to be very proud of. Video games are the superior form of entertainment.

Besides, the game itself is irrelevant. To create lore you must write it, and many times it's written in novel form even for Warcraft. The stories told in Warcraft lore are pretty awesome in some places.

This is the corniest shit. Half the word are generic fantasy names with too many vowels and tons of apostrophes. It tries to be "deep" by interrupting every sentence with a slightly different adjective, or, perhaps a new descriptor, or way of saying what it means to say.

Here is a cool (You) but Warcraft is a passion project of Jones as well. He is working on it for 3 years or so, pushing back his own movies. Also so far, both of his movies were decent and entertaining to watch and I don't think he will throw his career down the drain with this one. He is aware that up until now all video game movies have been shit and he seems confident enough that it will change.

He is comparing a movie called Warcraft. Last time i heard WOW was a game and LotR a trilogy of movies so i cannot see how he OP was intending to compare these two.

>making LOTR into a movie was a huge mistake, huge, huge fucking mistake.
Totally. I guess that is one of the reasons that is universally hated and a titanic flop.

Without LotR we wouldn't have Warcraft so thank you LotR. But now the time has come for the student to become the master so move aside old man, the new king has come of age.

The Warcraft story has been brewing and expanding for 20 years and has produced many great stories. It is one of the biggest and deepest lores of any kind at this point and I can't wait to see it unravel on screen.

Lol Apart from certain fantasy characters and elements they share nothing in common. The races don't even share the same characteristics other than the name and are vastly different. The lore is actually one of the most different things between the two. They are nothing alike from start to finish.

Although trust me, if it weren't for the movies the Warcraft brand would far surpass LotR in recognition. And if Warcraft becomes a successful movie franchise that might not even last for long anyway.

Why would I choose Warcraft over that?

Well, if you enjoy worn out memes, go right ahead.

But if you are foward looking person, then you should realize that new memes will spawn within the next few months from warcraft. You can be ahead of the curve.

Yeah but you faggots always use the "muh ebin books" argument and no one gives a fuck about those ancient books. So tell me, how many know about those books compared to the warcraft games?
>>
>>68194878
I'm about half-way thru the warcraft books and they have an interesting story/lore.
I have faith that Duncan and Blizzard love their project enough to see it well done.

I know the trailers are hiding a lot of plot points and spoils and purposefully make it look generic. A lot happens during the First War that is not shown in the trailer.

>only way for a Warcraft thread to not be dead as fuck is for some shitposter to come here and call everyone a shill

LotR is dead and forgotten, the hobbit movies were the last nails in the coffin.

Who are you quoting? I never said that.

You goddamn whiny faggots complain when a trailer like BvS shows all the plot points. Here comes a trailer hiding most of the plot points and you still whine.

See LotR's original format was the books, then it was adapted into movies. Warcraft's original format is the video games and it's being adapted into movies.

So no cupcake, it really isn't like that. If you want to compare original formats go right ahead but comparing brand recognition without taking into account that LotR has had the benefit of an incredibly successful movie franchise is retarded. So I reiterate, it wouldn't hold a candle to Warcraft if it weren't for the movies, even WITHOUT a movie franchise for Warcraft. With one coming up it'll eclipse LotR regardless, if it's ends up being successful.

Thing is cupcake, this is a videogame movie.
It's an automatical failure.
LOTR is a franchise that everyone knows, while people still think that World of Warcraft is the stereotypical game that only neckbeards play.
>>
>>68195176
Even more hilarious when this flops.
At least it'll convince the studios to stop making garbage like this, or Need for Speed or Far Cry, and focus on videogames.
>>
>>68194734
>GTA V

Lol no. We're not talking about individual game copies sunshine. In terms of total profit Warcraft is leaps and fucking bounds ahead of any other game. It has grossed over $10 billion over it's lifespan and has the benefit of multiple expansions, subscription and other sales, not just game copies. No game has ever even come close to this level off financial success off one title.
>>
I know Warcraft will do well because /tv/ thinks this will be bad.

/tv/ is always wrong. Just look at BvS.
