I don't understand how Blizzard, the company that fucking made Warcraft, fucked up their own movie adaption so much.
Cutting out fluff and changing the storyline a bit for movie purposes is fine but they outright fucked up the whole lore
>Gul'dan forms the Horde, no Ner'Zhul or Shadow council anywhere >Blackhand is a fucking chump >Medivh doesn't open the portal from Azeroth's side >Horde barely goes through the portal and Stormwind isn't sacked >Grom is in the movie for 2 seconds and doesn't do anything despite the first one to drink the blood
They let some outsider hacks write and direct it instead of our guy Christopher "cocaine fiend" Metzen.
Adam Gonzalez
It's an adaptation, like you said. books and games made 20 years ago doesn't translate well to movies
Daniel Long
>Medivh doesn't open the portal from Azeroth's side But khadgar finds out that the portal needs to be opened from both sides so if it wasn't medivh and it was. Then who did it
Jeremiah Sullivan
Because Blizzard has never hatefucked it's own lore in the past.
John Gray
if they wanted a movie, they could have take all the cutscenes and trailers from WoW, mix in one long film and ship it like OC.
It would be easier and cheaper than hiring Ragnar.
Andrew Kelly
dat guldan fist fite doe
Jose Peterson
>Blizzard has such disdain for Metzen his memorial statue is him wearing an Alliance hoodie with a character he didn't even help create
Juan Edwards
You have to condense a game that can be however long it needs to be into a film that shouldn't be longer than an hour and a half, and simplify the plots for general audiences. This is why film adaptations of video games always struggle.
And making a 3 hour long film "for the fans" is a fucking terrible idea.
Ian Peterson
did he voice baby Thrall?
Nathan James
the orc fuhrer guy with the cancer spikes on his back, nerd didn't you watch the movie?
Cooper Butler
what if the movie was made 20 years ago
Grayson Clark
Were you the guy that screamed about spiderman having organic web shooters back in 2001?
Nathaniel Cruz
a hoodie, cargo shorts, and flip flops?
what a way to be memorialized
Jack Bennett
Grom kept on appearing and not saying a single word, pissed me off. The movie was okay I guess, it had that cheesy vibe like the DnD movie with the special effects for magic and shit.
Jonathan Cox
The Warcraft movie wasn't made for Warcraft fans, it was made for the millions of people that aren't already fans. Why is it so hard for people to understand that this is how fandom movies work?
Nathaniel Watson
Because why fucking make a movie if not for the people that pay you for your games?
I get your point but it just pisses me off. Don't fucking bother if you're not going to create the movie for the fans that love the series.
Michael Wright
As one incredibly big advertisement to try and keep the cash cow rolling.
Austin Collins
To get new people to pay them for their games. They already have our money they don't give a shit about us.
Landon Harris
fuck off normie
Justin Morgan
Is he going Super Saiyin?
Julian Reed
lol REEEEE! xD
Owen Walker
The lore of the game shouldn't matter. People who care about that stuff are so boring. It's the same calibre of people who rag on great movies like Excalibur or Seven Samurai for being "historically inaccurate".
All that matters is whether or not the movie works cinematically. And Warcraft did, sort of. it was fun. A solid 6. It looked nice and had a well-structured story, but was let down by some spotty performances and bad pacing.
Kayden Gonzalez
>caring about your appearance is normie now damn user, I can smell the doritos dust from here
David James
It was 100% made for fans
it was totally impenetrable for ANYONE that didn't know extensive in-game lore to follow or give a shit.
They cut a few corners AKA specifics only the most autistic would shout was dumbing down or pandering to "normires", but it was still a love letter to fans
Liam Jones
did you want him to be in jeans instead? or a suit for your downtown business office work, normy?
>Grom is the most popular orc amongst fans >Exclude him
Yeah nah
Eli Hill
>final boss fight in Legion with Gul'dan >last phase has the tank do a 1v1 fist fight with him
I need this to happen
Charles Gonzalez
well, yes anything is better than cargo + flip flop combination nice projection though. I'm sure metzen would be proud of you
Jace Foster
>Gul'dan being this muscular
He was weak faggot who needed fel magic
John Davis
>complaining about changing shit in movies NOW YOU KNOW HOW PEOPLE WHO READ ACTUAL FUCKING BOOKS FEEL, CHAMP.
Brayden Nelson
Holy shit what the fuck is that
Nolan Hill
he was still an orc
I mean I laughed out loud at the scene in theaters, but that was the point I guess
also he cheats when he starts losing and uses fel to win
Brayden Moore
Every time Gul'Dan had a single line in that movie I got so fucking wet!
Whoever voiced and mo-capped him was great.
Cameron Taylor
Movie Gul'dan was better.
Kayden Hernandez
Guys, I think the real reason Metzen left blizzard was to focus on his acting career as 3D Thrall in the upcoming warcraft movies.
Asher Sullivan
Demon magic was steroids
Jace Anderson
this fluid druid
Aiden Hernandez
Aside from muh lore, was it an okay movie? I been for the blue ray so I can watch it at home.
David Walker
>tfw they killed the orc waifu rip
Ethan Moore
>Warcraft 3 movie is finally made >Thrall is literally just Metzen in green body paint and/or CGI I wouldn't even be mad, that's just dedication to a role.
Jacob Lee
Even the most skel of orcs are muscular as fuck.
Bentley Baker
movie is reboot of the story, they are remaking and fixing what they dont like, it wont be 100% same or even 80% same. And desu i enjoyed it, i only played wc3 roc and tft though.
Dominic Moore
Their hands and bodies are massive.
Who thought this was a good idea?
Ryder Baker
The game is the strongest canon. If the book is different, then it's wrong.
Noah James
It has whip-fast pacing and editing, major scenes and locations change like 3-4 time in under 15 mins at some points.
And there are a shit ton of characters to follow, despite what lorefags say, it's a little much for the uninitiated.
Nathan Carter
Plus the speech-impairing tusks.
Matthew Ortiz
oh god
when did they change the title to "Warcraft: The Beginning"?
they really are planning to make this a series
Henry Perez
He levelled up It even did the noise
James Bell
>hostile invaders attack your country and killing your people >gun them all down Warcraft was a critique on the current Immigration crisis and what should be done about it.
Christopher Robinson
Preggo Draka gives weird boners.
Adrian Wright
and terrible acting done by terrible actresses
Jaxon Martin
>What are ya gonna do? Shoot me?
Christian Russell
A lot of people that never played liked the movie.
Its pretty fun, gul'dan fistfight is awesome.
Brandon Anderson
There is no Blizzard, only Activision.
Xavier Morgan
He's all over the place in the movie though.
Bentley Garcia
Anyone who whines about Warcraft lore are completely full of shit. You didn't play Warcraft 1 for story, you played the copy pasted factions cause it was like playing a Warhammer clone on MS-DOS. Warcraft 2 had somewhat different campaigns, but ultimately didn't flesh out til ToD.
Real lore that actually tried to be plausible was RoC and beyond, albeit WoW is loopy (never played WoW, only read some).
Alexander Long
The actual hierarchy is. >Whatever the fuck Blizzard says >Warcraft games >Internally written books >World of Warcraft >Officially approved third party written books >Manga/Comic/Whatever you want to call it >Movie >Smut >Fan art
Carson Torres
so female draenei having horse cocks is canon right?
Nolan Allen
I think they meant anyone that reads ANY book, and how adaptions always have to shit it up for the change in media.
Juan Scott
nice.
Michael Cooper
>Warcraft games >World of Warcraft
>WoW is not a Warcraft game At least pretend that you aren't biased against WoW.
Chase Flores
>All that matters is whether or not the movie works cinematically. And Warcraft did, sort of.
Jaxson Myers
Gromfag spotted. Glad that orclet didn't get any screen time.
Nolan Rodriguez
Real books, not Warcrap pulp garbage for edgy teens.
Gavin Rodriguez
>"Warcraft" RTS games* stop being so autistic
Colton Watson
when it comes to lore, you have to be biased against WoW and any associated lore (chronicle)
WoW is just as canon as Warcraft, grandpa. Everything in WoW was approved by Metzen.
Logan Myers
Why would you take a game designed around continuously killing big-bad raid bosses seriously?
Leo Sanchez
That was the dumbest thing said in the thread, good job. Canon WoW lore says that the bosses were only killed once, by an unnamed group of adventurers.
Cooper Barnes
You think I was talking about players repeatedly killing the same bosses? neck yourself retard
Carson Kelly
Blizzard stated themselves that WoW canon != Warcraft canon you dumb fuck
Carter Brown

Joshua Scott
Nah that's not true, as much as I wish it was. Though if they revealed a WC4 as a straight continuation of WC3, I'd be so fucking happy.
Tyler Campbell
[c-c-c-c-citation needed]
Sebastian Ramirez
they actually named the garbage Chronicle "World of Warcraft" instead of "Warcraft" it must b true lads
