Are you prepared for the Warcraft Extended Universe?
>>68983139
That's a good looking Dalaran.
>>68983139
Disney will buy the franchise eventually and all the extended universe shit will be non-canon so theres no point in even getting interested in it.
>>68984731
I thought Dalaran was located on the ground north of South Shore.
>>68985156
Blizzard has veto rights on it, part of the contract of using their IP. They have to sign off on everything and they'll never allow a Disney to come in and fuck shit up.
>>68983139
Dalaran <3
lmao
>>68983139
Is that from the movie? Why the fuck is Dalaran in the air?
>>68985962
Right now they wont but give it time. All these prod. companies eventually sell out and Blizzard is no different. 20 years ago nobody imagined Lucas with his empire selling out.
>>68986120
To pander to le WoW casuals who only followed warcraft for the past couple of years at most
>>68983139
hopefully, yes
i know people hate on warcraft just cos the main story is your average vidya shit, but they can give us so many good stories if a "cinematic universe" actually happes
>>68986208
post your favorite quest/mini-story that you want to see in a future warcraft movie
>>68986120
Doesn't matter to the story, looks cooler for a city of magic.
Blizzard would also have had it flying from the start if they had thought of it back then.
>>68986151
They fucked it all up.
They needed grounded Dalaran so Arthas and Kel'Thuzad could summon Archimonde into Azeroth.
>>68986208
>>68986378
Just give me an Defias Brotherhood/SI:7 TV show.
>>68986411
>"tolkien would've also give laser pistols to the orcs cos its cooler for the story if he thought about it back too"
>>68986120
Because they're not running straight off the games. kazsinsky confirmed they're making Orgrim a Frostwolf in the movies so they seem to be making a lot of changes like that.
Plus a flying Dalaran does have impact.
>>68986449
tolkein is shit
>>68986447
id watch the shit out of it to be honest
>full westfall storyline on netflix about the defias, old blanchy, vulturs and that pirate's ghost
>>68986491
ok, lad :^)
>>68986491
Edgy
Guess where Wows main influence came from? Without Tolkein you would actually have to leave the house a get a life instead of jacking off in front of a shitty MMO all day.
>>68986674
>unironically responding to obvious bait
>>68986674
earlier doesnt mean better tolkein is racist horseshit that has no relevance in the modern world. hes a dead old white man on the wrong side of history
>muh christianity
haha kys
>>68986749
ya blew it
>>68986674
Everything is influenced by what came before. It's the way things go.
>>68986789
sorry you fell for the tolkein meme, the warcraft universe puts tolkein to fucking shame with its depth.
>>68986749
>>68986844
anon just stop, you're making warcraft fans look more retarded then we already are
>>68986866
tolkein is shallow. There is exactly 1 character that isnt a boring generic good guy or an irredeemable bad guy in lotr, and thats Boromir, and he dies in the first act.
>>68983139

SO fucking mad right now. I sat through the elongated SHITFEST that was BvS because I thought it would be fun, OH HOW WRONG I WAS.

Anything involving the lich king, Illidan or "Lord victor nefarious" works for me.
>>68986951
>b8 this weak
>>68987048
Are you cringing AT me or FOR me?
>>68987057
Yes, King Villon Badintent is such a great character.
>>68987057

>tfw you will never see him, onyxia or rangaros in a proper movie
>>68986488
Wait, what? What the fuck? Really?
>>68985962
>fuck this up
it looks pretty fucked up already.
>>68987057
I'm hoping this movie does well so they'll give the go ahead for more because if this doesn't result in an eventual Lich King movie I'm rioting. Arthas storyline or bust
>>68987124
at you
>>68987004
Im looking forward to this movie and think it will be good but even i know the marketing has been pretty stupid so far. The leaked PAX trailer was much better though.
>>68987048
>******cringes******
I just cringed
>>68987113
>he fell for the tolkein meme
>>68987164
Yeah it was on his Twitter.
He says it works, but he's got to say that really.
>>68987172
Well fuck you, have your boss tell you something you like is shit in an environment you literally can't do anything about then.
>>68987113
Yet it worked. Not so weak then.
How do I see this movie without sitting next to some faggot in cosplay as illidan or arthas I want to see this movie but the neckbeards will be there
>>68987212
You're a milquetoast faggot.
>>68986488
wait what?
Well I guess it doesn't make a big difference, I just hope they don't change much about how the various characters die and betray each other.
I want plebs to go in expecting a nice Lord of the Rings like story, only to have literally 90% of the characters dead or nearly dead at the end of the movie
>>68987166
Key word >looks
Marketing has been shit, movie won't be.
>>68987212
>the dude just expressed his opinion
>"ill go and write a shitty blog on a Djiboutian basket-weaving image board to show how triggered i am byu other people being friendly

Do people actually cosplay to movies in America?
>>68987197
where can i see that trailer, anon?
>>68987244
by going to see it at any theater.
the vast majority of tickets are going to gold farmers, since they're giving away free months/copies of wow with each ticket, at a price lower than a month/copy of wow.
>>68987295
Yeah comic shit, i bet it will happen for this movie to yelling for the horde and alliance I hate this bullshit so much

>>68987368
>dude, your attempt to get me to reply to you failed!
I guess you're going to pretend you're trolling him now, right?
>>68987211
He CHOSE to make those changes cause he fells it's much better for the movie or he wouldn't have made them. So it's not just a "have to say" thing.
The main story is the same. Minor changes here and there don't matter if it works better for movie format.
This movie will be pure shit, not even the blizzdones are buying it, you'll have to shill harder

>>68987004
your boss is right though, it is gonna be shit.
>>68983139
This kind of fantasy doesn't have mainstream appeal. Lotr and GoT were successful because they were low fantasy, realistic and without flashy magic and shit. Regardless of warcraft's quality, there is no way this movie will be successful enough to warrant a sequel.
>>68987406

>>68986488
they should have kept the lore as it was and I'm sure it would work better on screen but w/e maybe they changes they made are not big enough to fuck it up too much
>>68987505
The director said the same shit during the PAX East panel.
The first movie was about actual conflict between humans and orcs.
This movie is about there being a big bad that both sides have to take down, with perspectives from both sides.
Which one do you prefer, /tv/?
>>68986569

>>68985468
No. Dalaran is now a floating city because LMAO DUDE WOW PEOPLE WILL REMEMBER XXDDD
This movie should just be called World of Warcraft: The Movie
>>68987496
spoilers from an over 20 year old video game?
besides most of my friends already know this stuff, or at least most of it.
But just to spoil it specifically for you and anyone else in this thread
King Llane dies, Stormwind is razed, Medivh is evil and gets killed, Durotan died, his wife dies, Garona is tortured by Orgrim, Gul'dan ends up in a coma, Khadgar is magically aged to be an old man, Blackhand is killed. So basically Lothar is ok and Orgrim is ok, although they both lost a bunch of close friends and shit.
>>68987628

>>68987910
I'm fine with this change as hardcore warcraft fan desu
makes way more sense for archimonde to use magic when destroying it
is this a joke? did a fan photoshoped himself into a cutscene from the game?
>>68988033
I just know that all game-based movies that failed before had way too many changes to the source material
if they remained faithful, they'd do uch much better
>>68987921
Good try but I know the lore myself. I was questioning how you were going to do what you claimed you wanted to do. And now you're sabotaging what you wanted to have happen yourself. I don't know if you're stupid or just retarded but well done. Lol
By the way, nice logic. Source material has existed for a while so spoiling is fine. I guess spoiling 75% of all movies in history is fine because they're based on books? Wew lad.
>>68988126
heh, forgot the picture
>>68987837
And?
Doesn't change the fact the actor probably can't express dissenting opinions on Twitter so you can't take it as definite quality barometer.
>>68988165
>Travis Fimmel gets to view the new expansion in VR
>>68988165
....... did.... they seriously make the dwarves completely CGI?
why?
>>68988165
Thats not how it looks in the movie btw, they added Lothar in for one of the spots. This has been mentioned.
>>68983139
Will there be any slutty nelves or draenei in this movie?
>>68988170
I don't give a shit about the actor. My post was meant to show what the director was thinking and I trust his judgement way more than Blizzard themselves in terms of storytelling.
>>68985468
You think you thought that but you dont even. Also blackhand did nothing wrong
>>68986378
I want to see a bunch of drunk lowbies trying to find mankirks wife.
>>68987004
>I'm not so sure about that one anon
that's really all that needs to be said about this movie

Why the fuck didn't they just go full cgi, I mean the cgi they have looks great but next to live actors it looks shit.
>>68987004

>>68991027
The dwarves are fucking embarrassing.
>>68990528
>obvious director for hire
shit on Warcraft as much as you like but this statement is just bullshit, Duncan pitched the movie himself and took part in the story writing process, he got attached to this project after passionately pursuing it and mada movie as a huge fan of the source material trying his best to do it justice and obviously giving a shit about it
he actually declined some other movie offers to do this (for example he was asked to do the upcoming Wolverine movie)
>>68991120
Why? I think they look pretty gud, also Ironforge looks fantastic.
>>68988884
Because it would cost way more and would never appeal to the masses.
>>68991120
>Thorin just looks like small size human with his body proportions and shit - that's all cool
>Warcraft gets some actual high fantasy dwarfs truthful to the game design
yeah
>>68987650
Considering you are expressing yourself through text, there is no way to convey that you are not "falling for it." So, therefore, any response is falling for it.
Welcome to the 4chan, the internet, life, etc.
>>68988884
as a warcraft fan I would drop that kind of shit immediately, it needs life action elements
I'm actually quite sad there aren't more
Elves could have ben practical, dwarves too probably
>>68990528
>The obvious director for hire?
This shows you literally don't know what you're talking about. Adults are talking, show yourself out kid.
>>68991119
Purrfect, thanks.
>>68991648
If they had done practical dwarves, the "low-rent LoTR" vibe would've just been all the stronger.
They're trying to get away from that, you realize. Entirely in vain, but they're trying.
>>68991027
Dwarves look really good. It's compositing that looks slightly off, but they probably look better in motion.
>>68991072
Have you seen his interviews. Do you know the back-story of how he got the job? Do you even follow the movie?? Or are you just some guy who talks out of his ass?
It's also funny you retracted and changed your argument now to try and save face. Shitposters like you...kek
>>68991120
This is either bait or you hate this movie so much you'll shitpost about anything to feed your denial.
>>68986378
Something with Captain Placeholder (though it will never happen)
Seriously though, I'd love a mini-series or tv show based around the adventures of Hemet Nesingway.
>>68992254
its all marketing bullshit, so who cares?
>>68992654
>wow fans are so culturally illiterate they don't realize hemet nesingway is just a remix of ernest hemingway
goddamn that hurts for some reason.
>>68991027
Where did they find the Dwarves in order to film them?
>>68992868
What part of that comment suggested I didn't know that?
Is this some abstract bait? Because if so, hats off to you. You belong in the Louvre.
>>68992868
do you have a handler type for you, or are you cognizant enough to use your own fingers?
>>68993066
The point, thick one, is if you want hemet nesingway stories, you read earnest hemingway stories, and madlib wow bullshit in.
>>68992868
but that's obvious beyond the need of pointing it, wow if full of easter eggs like that
the point of this dudes's post was that this wow character is pretty fun and could make for decent tv serios through I personally disagree
>>68983139
That is a pretty good shot.
But then again is easy to do that in CG
>>68993227
If you give me a Hemingway story with the exotic wildlife of Azeroth, gnomish engineering and magic, I'll be very thankful and put it next to the others, oh learned one.
After a thorough reading of course.
>>68983139
IF DALARAN IS FLOATING HOW WOULD ARTHAS HAVE EVEN RODE OVER AND INVADED IT WITH A LAND ARMY IN THE FIRST PLACE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>68993291
Actually, as the guy who suggested it, I would like to see a show with him less because he's great, and more because he tends to end up around everything else that's great in the Warcraft universe.
Imagine a wild safari in Azeroth, a showcase of troll/other cults, etc.
>>68993418
So what you're saying is you'd actually read an ernest hemingway story with bullshit names from wow written over everything?
And you're trying to be condescending?

>>68993882
I think Dalaran goes into the air during the movie.
In some of the earlier trailers, it looks like it shows Dalaran on the ground.
I really want this movie to do well but the script and acting seem fucking awful from every trailer I've seen.
If it's going to be bad I'd rather they'd gone full meme with night elves dancing on mailboxes, people searching for mankrik's wife, etc.
>>68995498
If I remember correctly, Duncan was frustrated with the marketing team.
Maybe they're just making it seem really cheesy, or maybe it's actually worse than the trailers show.
Only time will tell.
>>68995189
My best bet still is that they'll pull some sort of Caverns of Time shenanigan.
Dalaran is on the ground, but also isn't in the future.
>>68995498
Watch the Pax trailer it gives off a conpletely different vibe.
>>68987309
http://warcraftmovie.blizzplanet.com/blog/comments/2016-pax-east-exclusive-warcraft-movie-trailer-shows-iron-forge
>>68992758
It isn't. It's literally a passion project for the director. He -pursued- this gig because he's been a fan of the game since Warcraft 1, and declined other offers to make it, including an X-Men movie.
>>68993597
There are flying creatures in the scourge sunshine, the LK's mount can also fly. It's a quick 2s work-around, I laugh so hard when people bring this shitty complaint up.
>>68993921
>I don't know about flying creatures in Northrend so I'm gonna complain about something like an ignorant fool. HRRRRDRRRR
>>68995498
You can't tell what the script is through a fucking trailer, there's literally 30 seconds worth of dialogue and it's 2h movie.
Someone from a pre-screening said the trailers have some lines that aren't even in the movie and that the movie's dialogue is much better than the shitty trailer lines make it seem.
