One Dress a Day Challenge

August: Fantasy & Sci-Fi

Warcraft: The Beginning / Ruth Negga as Queen Taria Wrynn

This beautiful grey velvet dress appears in the epilogue, at the king's funeral. Queen Taria was a new character created for the movie, meaning there was no animated version to draw upon and they could design her look from scratch. It's hard to see in the actual film, but she has the lion of Stormwind worked into the back of the gown!

Honestly the Warcraft movie was nice, it's a good adaptation of the video game, and I think that's why people who don't play it didn't really like it.

2 reasons.

1. The movie kept the armors, clothing styles and places of the video games, even though it meant leaning very heavily toward the image of a *stereotypical* fantasy movie. Y'know, huge armors and swords, the sort of stuff a historian would criticise in a YouTube video for not being authentic (even though that's literally fantasy). So, when people who don't know WOW watch it for the first time, I can guess that it can feel a bit too simplistic, even though this style is very much the point of Warcraft!

2. The movie made the decision to show us both sides of the war, but in doing so was nevertheless very unbalanced. I place the emphasis on the writing of character's interactions.

I'm going to expand on this second point.

That's the first thing you see of the orcs: they don't hesitate to laugh together, to mock each other as well. More importantly, all of their social and political interactions are extremely nuanced. Even the second orc boss got a development, which is quite rare in an industry where a lot of characters are usually left behind in writing. All of the orcs are torned between their traditions, the loss of their native earth, their wish to survive, and therefore they must all ask themselves how much they are willing to sacrifice around them to make sure their people survive. Their disagreement with Gul'Dan by the end in favour of a human who managed to win a duel with honour really shows that side.

On the other side, Humans are the main specie of the "good" side, yet I felt like every human character was quite flat, with only a few characteristics. Lothar is fun and he got a son and he's badass. Khadgar is the loser nerd who is actually super strong. And they always interact as if nothing had much stakes around them. As an exception, the King and Lothar become much more interesting at the end of the movie, when tragedy gets in their way.

Yet again, this imbalance is something that you can find within the game, the Alliance having much less existential crisis to face.

But I think it might be detrimental to an audience when half of a movie is trying to get you attached to humans characters as flat as white bread, while on the other hand your orcs characters are being much more interesting and better animated on screen.

That's sad, because I honestly think that's the only movie where the "alien"/"other" specie gets this much writing and thinking. Usually, orcs are just a random enemy that you'd see defeated by the end of your 2 hours watch. I WISHED they made a sequel to see them more...

A plan to achieve Blizzard's stated goal of building a cinematic universe for Warcraft, because starting from the First War didn't work:

Warcraft: Lich King

Follows the plot of WCIII+The Frozen Throne, primarily focused on the rise of the scourge and the fall of Arthas. Would feature Mal'Ganis as the primary antagonist, as well as Jaina clashing with orcs. The Culling of Stratholme would be the dramatic peak of the story and the climax would stick on Arthas through the invasion of Quel'thalas and the movie would end on Arthas raising Sylvanas as The Banshee Queen.

Warcraft: Burning Legion

Sets itself up as a prequel to the first movie right out of the gate, but would mostly only portray events from the Draenor side. Would largely follow Gul'dan and Ner'Zhul through their dealings with demons and the resultant consequences. Would feature elements from the WC1, WC2: Beyond the Dark Portal, and Burning Crusade. Would end with Ner'Zhul being enslaved by Kiljaedeen and made into the first Lich King, imprisoned into The Frozen Throne. Would feature moments from the real movie such as the opening of the dark portal and the blood of mannoroth, but largely glossing over the wars fought on Azeroth, except maybe covering their consequences such as the internment camps.

Warcraft: Betrayer

Would pick up immediately where Lich King leaves off, showing the devastation of high elven civilisation and the torment of Sylvanas. Kel'Thuzad betrays his home and summons Archimonde, the primary antagonist of this Film. Immediately the Night Elves begin moving against him, step by step we see flashbacks to the first time Archimonde invaded, The War of the Ancients, from the perspective of Illidan. We are experiencing his memories as Tyrande gets closer to his prison. There would be scenes inspired by Legion, DotA, Burning Crusade and Warlords of Draenor. We would see Illidan's Metamorphosis and the entire Betrayer plotline. The Battle For Mount Hyjal would be the climax, and there would be an epilogue showing the aftermath: the corruption of the blood elves, the new alliance, etc.

World of Warcraft

Our Endgame. Would start on a completely new character: a forsaken player insert, just having been awoken in Tarren Mill. Would show a meteoric rise through the ranks until the character is regularly interacting with famous characters. We would focus on Sylvanas, showing her radicalisation and fall into ethnonationalism throughout forsaken and wotlk storylines, eventually culminating in the Battle of the Wrathgate. The player character would start to oppose Sylvanas before that point and then we would cover some of the joint efforts to stop sylvanas during and after wotlk. The movie would end on a cliffhanger for a potential spinoff movie: Deathwing

Warcraft (The Beginning of a Painful Journey)

So, for a Christmas present my brother got me two boxes full of random dvds that a used bookstore was doing a sell on. I have decided to go through some of the films I have not seen. Though on closer inspection many of them I am familiar with and others I have even seen and I am excited to document my findings. I want to keep a list or record of my feeling son these movies so I can locate the stinkers, the forgettable and the hidden gems.

Anyway, while familiar with the film Warcraft (I was an usher at a theater when it came out) I have never seen it all the way through, and well.

I am soooooooooooooooooooooooo bored. 30 minutes have passed but it feels like an hour. Unlike Hazbin Hotel's assumption that you already know what you need to know Warcraft also hates their fans.

Let me explain, Hazbin Hotel has a slight issue in that there is a general sense that you as an audience member have prior information of Hazbin Hotel thus that information does not have to be deeply delved into. Warcraft took that flaw and made a whole movie about it.

Imagine if a movie decided you already probably know everything you need to know about Napoleon and the Napoleonic Wars so anyway here is Waterloo. That is Warcraft you must already know these names if you are watching this.

The problem gets worse because there would be people who love that Napoleon Waterloo movie so take that and make it very unhistoric and now you have the Warcraft movie because I do not think this movie would please diehard Warcraft fans.

Like I want to go into detail about the movie, but I also really do not because the movie is so boring talking about its plot is difficult but at the same time is the issue of the movie. There is intelligence in the story of Warcraft. The video game Warcraft did not become so popular without having at the least compelling storytelling, and yet this movie has no way of conveying what is compelling. What I would say as someone who is "FOR THE HORDE" when I played this movie kind of felt like compromised Alliance propaganda. The complexities of both sides and their difficult choices that war comprises for people and the violence necessary for totalitarian rulers is in the film but ends up muted by the bad CGI and poor knowledge of the characters conveyed by the writing.

There is hardly a reason to watch Warcraft. It is not even good bad movie night material since its biggest sin is that it is boring. The best scenario I can think of pulling up the movie is to see the reaction and anger generated from a well lore and knowledgeable Warcraft fan, so if you are ever stuck in a room with Dan Olson and have 2 hours to kill you can try to force him through this again.

Put it in the trash.

One Dress a Day Challenge

November: Grey Redux

Warcraft: The Beginning / Ruth Negga as Queen Taria Wrynn

Taria wears a good deal of grey in this movie. Here we see her in a patterned cloak fastening over the right shoulder and adorned with a sapphire-and-silver pin. Underneath, she wears a short-sleeved gown of the same shade, with sheer, lacy, side-slit, elbow-length sleeves showing beneath that. The grey overdress has a band of embroidered decoration at the end of the sleeve, and there's a hint of a belt. Too bad we don't get to see more of this outfit!

Costumes for this movie were designed by Mayes C. Rubeo.

working on this one.... =)

[grigori77]

PLEASE reblog this one far and wide to get it some attention, I really do want to get as many opinions as possible, once again this is a matter that's PARTICULARLY close to my heart - this is a follow-up to this previous poll I did, since there was a whole PILE of stuff that I couldn't fit into just one list. This is a BIG ISSUE!!!

*Yes, I know that these were VERY MUCH Marmite movies that some people were REALLY down on, but I'm among a big de-hard fanbase for both that really enjoyed them and WISH there was more.
