I actually suspect you're from Universal or something.

One thing people who play games fucking hate is when people who don't play games toss around terms haphazardly for marketing. It's a pretty autistic issue to have, but it's there. So throwing out terms like "agro" and "tank" is stupid because the general audience doesn't know/care and the gaming audience thinks it's awful to behold.

"Get the TANK" makes me cringe to read.
>>
Inside jokes are terrible when you're trying to market a movie to a general audience. Someone who doesn't know Warcraft is going to be '???' about it and feel clueless. He'll be less inclined to go see it as a result since he'll probably think the whole movie will be like that.

>>67606007
>Quick, get the TANK

I was racking my brain wondering what the fuck this meant until i realized it was using 'tank' as in the role.

Pretty bad. Not at all how you should market this. It's like marketing a hitman movie by referencing selecting the wrong item/weapon in the menu in a stressful situation or something, i don't know
>>
>>67606363
aggro is a term used in video games, and a tank is basically a type of character you can play as.

the problem is that they're referencing simple video game terms that really have nothing to do with the story or warcraft specifically at all. i mean there's no way characters in the movie will use these terms, then only fit in a gaming context.
>>
>>67606363
Even as an inside joke it's kind of terrible. When you're fighting orcs it's generally horde in PvP, which doesn't require a tank. Tanks are usually for PvE content. It's pretty evident they're trying to sound cool to the fan-base but end up looking pretty ignorant.

They 've built zero hype around this and besides a couple of TV spots and the last trailer they 've made the movie look way worse than it probably is with a chain of shitty promotion means like this picture in OP.
I am excited about this because of Jones and some of the actors but I can't see how you can be interested into this movie unless you follow the director or you played the games. Such a pity really.
>>
>>67606639
I'll play devils advocate here. In the last 2 WoW expansions factions of the horde/alternate reality time travelling orcs of long dead legends were the primary antagonists and have been raid bosses and so the idea of them going aggro makes sense in that context.


i'm assuming the time travelling alternate timeline horde expansion has already come out but I don't actually know if i'm wrong then it's just 1 expansion.

What I want to know is why they decided to make a Warcraft movie now? The flagship game for the franchise, WoW (yes it's the main game now despite the fact that it was built on a RTS series) has been steadily declining ever since the year long ICC patch. Sure you get spikes in subscriber numbers whenever a new expansion comes out but inevitably it drops lower than ever before. Not saying the movie will totally flop given that it's still the most successful MMO, in terms of sheer subscribers, but it's hardly the best time when six years ago the game had literally more than double the amount of players. Feels to me like they're trying to wring as much cash out of the franchise as possible before it dies considering WoW has neutered any possibility for a sequel. Just look at Azeroth Choppers.

>>
>>67607352
Everytime I see someone post this same exact argument I cringe. People don't need to be current players to be interested in a movie about the same universe. If someone left because they don't want to play anymore doesn't mean they're not still interested in the world, the characters, the stories, etc... that they spent a long time with. Subscriber numbers are near irrelevant to the interest this movie will get from any of it's former fans. WoW has over 100m unique players over it's lifetime, more with the RTS games. Not only that but as Duncan Jones has said, it's supposed to be a movie general audiences will enjoy just as much with the way they did it.

It is worse but point is that capeshit success is irrelevant to marketing/movie quality anymore. It just makes money for the sake of being released but Warcraft is not in the same league, such shitty mistakes will cost them.

The idea for a movie first came about way back in 2006. The reason it took 10 years was because they waited to get it done right before they went ahead with it. There were other directors and scripts written that Blizzard declined because they were shit. They were happy with Duncan Jones because he knew his shit from being a former player himself.

Original Plot - a race of orcs is tricked into drinking the blood of a demon and becoming a slave race. They then use demonic power to invade the human world and after many short battles leading to the final epic one, the humans fail and the capital of the humans is burned to the ground. Sub plot is a group of orcs that didn't drink the blood try to find a home in this new world.

New Hollywood Plot - race of misunderstood refugee foreigners have a dying planet and are tricked into coming to the human world to save themselves. Some of the orcs drink demon blood. The refugees and humans team up to fight the evil orcs back. Also a new love plot between a human and half orc half space goat (yes literally)

The thing that bothered me but people didn't seem to mention was that they're referencing MMO lingo when the movie is based on Warcraft 1, which is an RTS.

Also it looks like a 13 year old's first experience with photoshop.

>>67611050
They shouldn't mention either of those. Nostalgia works by itself so they should focus on the general audience.
>>
>>67611050
In their defense nobody gives a fuck about warcraft 1. 95% of people that would identify as a "warcraft fan" probably never even played warcraft 1.
>>
Why are they trying to market to GAMURs?
Every single person who's ever played a non-browser game on PC has heard of warcraft.

There's no need to market to that audience.
Instead, they're alienating the non-gaming crowd.
What the fuck is happening.
Just a couple of years ago the film industry, when reluctantly forced to make a video game movie, would do their hardest to pretend video games don't exist and convince normies that they're watching a proper movie, not vidya nerd autismo shit.
Now they're doing the exact opposite, with disastrous results.
Someone's gotta get fired for this.

If a trailer reveals too much, people complain spoilers. If a trailer reveals too little people complain generic. Can't win.

I think we should appreciate they're willing to let the viewer be surprised instead of spoiling the whole thing before they even go watch it.

A lot of shit happens that they haven't even hinted at yet in the trailers though, that much I know.

Thing is Blizzard are smart. In anticipation for the movie they came out with an 'alternate timeline' expac about the events that occured during that time and reintroduced a lot of the characters to WoW players, including Durotan, Garona, Grom, Blackhand, etc... So actually a lot of WoW kids will be excited too since they're now a bit more familiar with those characters.

Your cringe is unwarranted. It is a legitimate worry that they'd make a movie well past WoW's freshness date.

What, they intend garner interest in a 10 year old game that's on the way out?

Get people to read the fucking terrible books?

Honestly, they should of either made this movie when WoW was still hot, or cancelled the movie and made an animated tv series.
>>

You don't need to be a current player to be interested in a movie about something you once played. You don't even need to know Warcraft at all if you're a fantasy fan and they manage to make a good movie. Sorry but your logic is downright retarded.
>>
>>67616557
>You don't need to be a current player to be interested in a movie about something you once played.

No, but you do need the buzz generated by avalanche of fans during the heyday of WoW to give this movie franchise legs to stand on.

If they had made it when WoW was at it's peak, it would have slaughtered the box office.

At this rate, it will appear, and disappear from the box office without much of a wave being created. The fans of Warcraft sure as shit won't be helping market the movie since most of them are jaded as shit after Warlords of Draenor fucked the game totally and completely after years of steady decline.

You are suggesting they can make a successful movie franchise out of a corpse with a shiny paint job when the soul is missing.

He raped his own lore then.

If somebody wrote a beautiful novel about a murder in a small town and then wrote a sequel about how everybody in the town had terrible diarrhea and that the entire story of the first book was actually just a series of coincidences based around the fact that everybody had diarrhea and that the entire point of the book was mute because of it then it wouldn't matter that he wrote the first book. The second book still took a shit all over the story of the first book.
