I suspect the plan was to follow it up with movies based on Warcraft 2 and 3 and some parts of the MMO. Personally I think they should have adapted the short story The Last Guardian which is all about Medivh and Gul'dan and why they thought it was a good idea to tear a hole in reality. Make it a bit more of a drama and a bit more character focused (without having to shoe-horn in new characters). I also think part of the problem was the props and sets were too similar to the games, which clashes with the live action and made a lot of things look too obviously like plastic props, with the overall effect being that it looked cheap and poorly done. I found it especially weird that they kept the colour-coded roofs (a mechanic from the RTS games). Partially because of that I think a Guild Wars movie would probably work better if it was animated (so everything looks like it belongs together, whether they keep to the games art style or change it) and potentially telling its own story rather than following the story of the game. Maybe adapt one of the books, or write an original story about another group of Pact soldiers so it's telling the story of the campaign against the dragons but from a different perspective.) So there's been a couple of good ones. That's not new. The 1995 Mortal Kombat movie was good too (although the CGI cartoon prequel and the live action sequel were both terrible) and the first Resident Evil film was pretty popular (although I think expectations are lower for horror movies generally). The fact that there are occasionally ones which aren't terrible doesn't mean the genre as a whole is reliably good or that there's not going to be other terrible ones in future. The 1995 Mortal Kombat good? LOLOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddoctor.2738 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Anime adaption of a game with such a gigantic variety of main characters? Not gonna happen. If there was ever an anime or movie adaptation of anything Guild Wars 2 (or Guild Wars 1) related it's going to be the novels. That would make sense as the novels have set plot with certain, well defined, main characters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The days of terrible Uwe Boll movies are over. So yes, you are stuck in the past. No they aren't, not for movies in general, much less video game ones. Hollywood only knows how to pump out mindless crap, with the occasional merely "Ok" one, and there is no reason to think that's going to change anytime soon.

A romantic comedy with Logan and Rytlock as the main characters sounds like the perfect idea. Like a remake of beauty and the beast.

I missed the memo, evidently. 😕 No. The only memo to get here is people are *always* talking about the end of this game, and/or the “inevitable” GW3. And yet after 9 years, this game is going strong and no hint of a third game. Which is a much better outcome than constantly gamehopping from sequel to sequel, but it won’t stop people from moaning the game is dying or already dead. Nothing will stop that entirely 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is exactly what I said they'd do if they made a movie/anime/series/whatever based on the Guild Wars license (1 or 2), either a prequel, a sequel, a story between the two games, or a side story. To my knowledge, there has never been an mmorpg adaptation in any form, that specified a fixed "main character", that would be suicide. Take a look at the negative reactions towards the latest Mortal Kombat movie, where they added a brand new character, instead of using a well established character. That's the same feeling you'd get if they added a "commander" with traits you don't like. Heck, in the cutscene where Scarlet dies, they used a female Norn commander, that also got a lot of reactions from the community. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadrine.4352 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) The warcraft movie was actually pretty good. It was story and lore driven from the game, it told the story of how the Orcs came to Azeroth. People like to hate on things to give them a following on social media 🙄Its like no one can think for themselves anymore and have to listen to influencers to like or not like something lol. I enjoyed the movie and so did friends who never even played wow. They took it for what it was , a fantasy driven story. Also not a movie but many fan made videos on youtube that are amazing! Like this one makes me cry every time, the music is set perfectly to the video! Edited June 30, 2021 by Zuldari.3940 added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
