A starcraft movie would be ludicrously easy to make. Also i dont know why you'd need marines with their helmets open that couldnt be done with close ups for dialogue if they were indoors. It never made sense for them to be wandering ship interiors with their nuclear power suits on anyway. Yeah prisoner blah blah but just retcon it the way storm troopers went from clones to conscripts.

Warcraft, the movie released in 2016, was based on a game made in 1994. Starcraft came out in 1998, so we've got at least 3 more years before they can make that into a movie. The WoW fans will all be dead of heart disease long before they see their dream realized. On the plus side, we don't have to worry about the hot garbage that was Starcraft 2 defiling a theater for quite awhile. Zzulu posted:What would the movie even be about? A bunch of CGI characters murdering clones of themselves and then letting their butts hang out ?? Maybe they can borrow from the rich and storied lore of other such game worlds as Battleship, or Tetris: The movie.

revdrkevind posted:Who's the hero? Tracer? Just start letting all the problems with that pile up in your head. There are currently 23(?) heroes in Overwatch, only 3-5 of which are "bad guys." 18-20 "Good Guys" that all need to have their moment to shine if you want to please the fans. Think of the clusterfuck that is the avengers movies and multiply it by 2. Remember how astounding it was that the first Avengers movie managed to have 6 main characters and was only "kind of" unweildy and poorly paced? And if you want to do a hero's journey, you cant even use the mascot, Tracer, because she's already a hero and her backstory doesn't really imply a good time period where she wouldn't be one. Before she was a crazy time jumping badass she was an experimental pilot badass. You'd have to introduce a whole new reluctant hero character, an audience surrogate who gets powers and has to step up to help save the world. A character that would probably backfire because the audience would resent it being shoehorned into the existing lore. Maybe they could introduce the third Doomfist as a young guy, then drop him into the game to coincide with the movie coming out? ...man blizzard games are kind of dumb. edit: 20 minutes of extra mei scenes for the international release bigstupidjellyfish fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Jan 30, 2017 |

I loved it. Never saw the first two. Definitely could have been ten or fifteen minutes shorter but the action was great and it was pretty self aware. The nerd girl was awful but everything else was good. I wanted to clap for the ice cube reveal

Young Tracer sneaks into a hangar bay after hours and climbs into an experimental fighter jet. Wacky hijinks ensue that show she is highly skilled, a daredevil, and maybe just a little reckless. *freezeframe* "That's me, Lena Oxton. You may not know it yet but I don't exactly fit in." Her flight instructor starts berating her. "Dang it, Oxton! That's the third experimental fighter plane you wrecked since you got here! I oughta throw you outta the academy...if you weren't the best gosh darn pilot we got."

A test pilot who keeps wrecking the planes probably isn't a very good pilot.

But then she finds out that there's an old prototype plane they mothballed because it was too powerful, no pilot could handle it.

Caring enough to get worked up about the story in a multiplayer only FPS, fighting game, or MOBA does in fact make you a bad person.

I think there's a lot of games that have great stories or settings that could be made, which some modifications, into pretty good movies. Overwatch is not one of them. The only thing it has going is "is popular".

I enjoy the individual characters and their motivations/origin in both games, but why anyone would bother to try and tie together the narrative is beyond me. e: EEEEXXXX-WIIIIINGS!!!!

Here's my take on Overwatch: The Movie. Gorilla wants to eat a banana but the bogan bloke replaces it with dynamite and gorilla gets very mad at him. Then they call their friends and shoot at each other. And also make jokes while shooting. Then some big stupid robot appears that doesn't like the noise, and they fight it together and become friends. And there's also a joke somewhere where they say that Team Fortress 2 is poo poo. Maybe the Russian woman says something about Heavy. Like, da, this tovarisch is loving poo poo, ha-ha.

I think for an Overwatch film it'd be smart to basically do the Oceans 11/Inception/etc style of film, basically a PG13 Smokin Aces.
