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.
>>
>>338644272
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.
>>
>>338644978
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

>>
>>338645218
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.
>>
>>338645420
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.
>>
>>338645783
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.
>>
>>338645983
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?

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.

>>
>>338654212
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.

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.

>>338654598
>Naiveté isn't bad in and off itself you stupid nigger

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.
>>
>>338654997
>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.

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.

I take it you spend a great deal of your time on sites with identification, sites that are proven to have heavy liberal bias in both leadership and membership as well. Spend some time appreciating the response of other views, and you may find that the internet tends to conceal the true nature of things. Anonymity is the gateway to view the true feelings of others, not veiled by threats and brainwashing.

>>338657956
Middle earth doesn't really have a set look though, which is honestly one of it's major strengths and I'm the guy that's been ragging on it.

The fact that you can bring in people like Ted Nasmith and he'll paint you one picture and people like Alan Lee or John Howe can present you with a totally different one. If anything the movies damaged the wonderful room for imagination it had because a lot of it's design was utterly fantastic and iconic enough to just stick.

That's not what you're doing though. You're saying that it's not good because it's old. The fact that Romanticism is no longer popular is fine, it's not, but saying that his work is no longer good because of that just makes you a cunt. Old things can be appreciated in a modern sense, and they constantly are. Not to mention that since there has been Old things and New things, there has always been people who preferred the old to the new.

Also calling it naive is literally bait pal.

Anonymity is just an excuse for you to be a bigot. Racists don't deserve privacy.

It is naive, it's got tons of pineing old england countryside that was mythological anyway. Tolkien in many ways was as guilty as any other romantic that started to actually believe what they painted and wrote was actually true. This is why the Romantics tried to have the realists thrown out of their countries or executed in many cases, they dind't like having to be shown things that challanged their created mythologies.
>>
>>338658261
This movie is exactly what happens when you try to appeal to two different audiences at once.

Its trying to grab the Warcraft fans with weak nostalgia bait, and its trying to grab normal fags with "Its the next Hobbit!" and "Its progressive!".
In the end its going to end up appealing nobody but the most mindless of Blizzdrones.

Sometihng can be archaeic and still fun.

I said it's fun repeatedly. I enjoy it, but it's not a sacred cow that can't be touched in my eyes. It has it's place, the silmarilion is a good read even with the many times it switches from describing the chronicles of the noldor to describing the formation of trees to me, but I'm going to criticise it even if I like it.

Batman Vs Superman also got great IMDB ratings before the film released.
They aren't real reviews.

IMDB is essentially the Steam Review of films.
People spam their shit and thumb it up for laughs.
Most of the reviews are 'I've been waiting forever for this film, it's going to be great'.
None of them have seen the film.

Wait until it is out and then we can all laugh that this shitfest.

Prince of Persia was the last good game movie.

As a gateway known as the Dark Portal opens to connect the two worlds, the humans face destruction while the orcs face extinction. Anduin Lothar (Travis Fimmel), leader of the humans, and Durotan (Toby Kebbell), leader of the orcs, are then sent on a collision course that will decide the fate of their families, their people and their home.[8]

LoTR is known especially for its scenery porn. The Shire, Lothlorien, Mordor, Moria, Gondor--Middle-Earth is very, very aesthetic, and complemented by an amazing soundtrack.

Haven't seen the movie yet, but the bar is pretty high for Warcraft. There are some good zones in WoW and Warcraft, but that doesn't mean the movie will have the same level as LoTR. The stuff I've seen looks pretty generic desu senpai

fuck off, just because you misinterpreted nitsche doesn't mean we get to live with your ilks boot pushing us into the dirt

Why do we tell storys anon? Why do we make things?
To uplift, to hope, to say that every day is a chance at change to argue.
The problem is you've drunk the river of lithe too deep and drowned in your own cynicism, beliving that the romantics daydream to escape reality instead of improve it, while all you would do is sit in a circle and jerk to how the world has erred and never seek to make it right, like a watchmender who see's the towns tower clock beat still and let it lie, crying scorn but letting everybody know that its still right two times of the day.

The orcs are too huge compared to the humans so it looks a bit silly, an orc driven into a bestial battle rage is not going to be momentarily stunned from a little scratch, I hope that forest battle ends in the humans being slaughtered and retreating.
Shit ain't believable.
Might be entertaining enough though.

Anybody can make up an IMDb account and vote for it.

99% of those reviews are most likely from people that haven't seen the movie yet.
