have you played a blizzard game lately?
they got the most clichè storylines and characters you can imagine. the writing in diablo3 and sc2 was even below the most generic hollywood summer blockbuster.
I have no hopes for warcraft.

Are we finally admitting that so many movie franchises actually sucked? Ok here we go.
I forced myself to watch the Lotr trilogy but it was so fucking boring.
I watched the first Harry Potter and didn't bother with the rest.
The Star Wars prequels suck, yeah, but Episode 3 had some good action at least. The original trilogy was boring as fuck.
Matrix and Matrix Reloaded were good, Revolution sucked.
I don't understand why making trilogies is so important.

Did you just get here from Facebook?

Yeah, if you look past the fact that Tolkien basically inspired and re-vamped the entire contemporary medieval fantasy genre.

Yes, goblins and orcs and dragons have existed for centuries, but if it weren't for LoTR, they would have been forgotten legends and never seen the light of day again.

If LoTR didn't exist, World of Warcraft (and therefore this movie), D&D, and basically any other form of medium that uses medieval fantasy tropes would have never happened.

Without that context going in blind, yeah. They're boring books and B+ movies.

Basically, without getting into the details.
Naaru comes to Illidan and cucks him into being a champion of Light (complete with a fucking halo) to fight Void Lords who are behind Old Gods n shiet.
Void Lords who reside in the Twisting Nether want to create a DAAAAAAAARK TITAN from Azeroth, because Azeroth is actually like a Titan egg/embryo, and other worlds are, too.
Sargeras knew that so he was destroying worlds and fucking everyone into serving him in order to, obviously, SAVE everyone.
I had screenshots if Illidan's new model but promptly deleted them because it's too much of a disgrace to the setting that once was just Warhammer Fantasy Battles with some obscure bits of weird lore here and there.

>>68223954
You've got to look at things like cost when you look at box office numbers. I think Suicide Squad will be a hit but Deadpool will have made more of a profit because it only cost 50mil to make.

Fair enough, I can buy this twist

>actually the Undead are good too, many of them are sentient and benevolent and even the feral ones are just a force of nature that must always be harnessed and controlled
OK, it's straining credulity now...

They're not bad per se, but probably on par with most Marvel movies: generally well executed flicks that satiate the generally ignorant masses but something true film connoisseurs won't look twice at. The most blaring problem with them is the fact that Peter Jackson is given WAY too much credit for these movies. Most of the groundwork was already laid out by Tolkien with Jackson only proving that he can't into original ideas as evidenced by the steaming pile of fan fiction shit that was The Hobbit. Elijah Wood was just awful in these movies and although the actors for Aragorn and Gandalf gave solid performances, ultimately they were horribly miscast.

Wait, who the fuck else would you cast instead for gandalf and aragorn?

Bad Taste and Meet the Feebles beg to differ.

Joking aside, I know what you mean, though I think the Hobbit being shit had also a lot to do with Jackson's lack of actual passion for the project.
Disregarding his various misinterpretations of the source material, you can actually tell that he did genuinely care about those movies and put a lot of work and effort into them, whereas "The Hobbit" always seems to exude a certain "eh, fuck it"-attitude.
