It's a little weird that Clark Gregson plays almost exactly the same character in Sports Night as he does in Agents of SHIELD.

And he's a slightly creepy, but oddly comforting man who is going to make everything`better. (Clark Gregg needs to be the serial killer in a slasher flick, he'd be perfect and thanks to Avengers and SHIELD most people wouldn't see it coming). He also has the most "gently caress YOU NETWORK" line in the entire series. "If they don't know how to make money off Sports Night, the shouldn't be in the business of making money."

Akira Toriyama did a special poster for Stephen Chow's Journey to the West movie. Here's a more normal poster.

It's a pretty minor but very memorable role. Also, it's definitely worth watching that show all the way through.

The thing I find more odd about it is that, if this is a direct adaptation of the first game, at this point there should be nothing sympathetic about the Horde at all. They're demon controlled satanist monsters who just want to murder everyone and corrupt the entire world until the third game.

The script for the movie was originally Alliance-centric. It got rewritten to give a more balanced view of the Alliance and Horde. I know this reflects the current situation in the game lore, but I feel it's partly because they don't want everyone who starts playing WoW because of the movie to automatically go for Alliance and outnumber the Horde players.

I'm not saying it wouldn't be fun to watch, just that them portraying the Horde as anything other than horrific monsters isn't really accurate to the games. I was hoping to see straight up evil Orcs for the first movie or two and then see the dude who takes over and breaks the spell, turning them from essentially 80's Satanic panic satanists into...still kind of satanists, but much more evenheaded ones.

The character descriptions clearly point to a characterized Horde, so I imagine you'll get that.

Warcraft II had the trolls join the Horde for fear of extinction from the elves, but other than that the Horde was a straight up invading, murdering force of conquerors.

boom boom boom posted:It's a rip-off of Warhammer, right? So isn't everyone horrible? On a very base level, perhaps. It's never really had the same "everyone is horrible, the world is doomed" tone that Warhammer has at times, and since Warcraft 3 the major factions have a history of regularly working together to defeat the bigger world-threatening bad guys.

boom boom boom posted:It's a rip-off of Warhammer, right? So isn't everyone horrible? It was originally pitched as a Warhammer Fantasy Battle game, but Games Workshop said no. Blizzard then filed off the serial numbers and wrote their own plot. So it's a Warhammer rip-off only in the sense that the good guys are a human empire aided by elves and dwarfs and the bad guys are orcs, trolls and good guys who got corrupted by evil. Meanwhile, we all get to smile at the thought of what the faces of Games Workshop senior managers must have looked like when World of Warcraft broke ten million active subscribers.

I was under the impression that the Warhammer/Warcraft and Starcraft/40k connection was a combination of unsubstantiated rumour, both companies drawing from the same wells of inspiration and being founded by a bunch of nerds.

Legally speaking that's what happened, but you really don't need to look far into Warhammer/40k to see aesthetics and lore choices Blizzard repurposed or flat-out stole for Warcraft/Starcraft. Plus the timelines between Warhammer/40k's rise to prominence and the average age of developers for Warcraft/Starcraft sync up perfectly, with the Blizzard devs very likely having grown up as little boys and girls playing Warhammer/40k in the 80s and early 90s.

Tabletop gaming as we know it was created when Gary Gygax shamelessly ripped off both wargaming and Lord of the Rings, only now the artillery are wizards chucking magic missiles and instead of Hobbits they have Halflings. It's all so incestuous and derivative that none of the major players really have the right to point fingers.
