Zovaal and Thanos with the Sigils and Infinity Stones
The planet Azeroth being a cosmic entity like a Celestial
Nozdormu and Iridikron making allusions to our timeline being the more important like the Sacred Timeline in Loki
You think the writers are going to
go down a multiverse story next?
The only thing more boring, predictable, and stupid than adding a baby to a failing sitcomâŚ
⌠and the use of alternate timelines.
You want to prove youâre a hack? Do an alternate timeline. Be sure to buy some sharks before you start writingâŚ
We kind of got that with WoD. I donât know if theyâd revisit that sort of thing, itâd be interesting to see what would pan out.
Those movies made so much money they altered the course of modern writing in a pretty noticeable way, mainly dialog and tone. Its obvious its bleeding into video games and wow isnât even the worst example (I think gw2 was probably hardest hit) Really it just seems like the dev team is full of people who couldnât land a job at disney so they settled for blizzard LMAO
I miss when it was everyone sponging off of Peter Jacksonâs LotR adaptations.
Anyone else noticed the Barbenheimer parallels
Well the guys that did WoW story have been comics nerds for decades. So I wouldnât be surprised if itâs directly linked or inspired by comic books.
the MCU has been the scapegoat for every single episode of anything that someone hasnât liked in the past like 10 years.
as if bad writing, bad movies, bad games, and bad shows never happened prior to the MCU.
Those are scifi/fantasy story staples. You canât sneeze in a fantasy story without splattering a few of them at once.
Oh please, anyone who thinks Blizzard has changed anything about WoW to match the popular new superhero movies is delusio-ZANDALAR FOREVER!!!
Oh my, where did that come from? Iâm so embarrassed!
Yeah. I saw Zovaalâs plan and was like âSo weâve got cheap knock-off Thanos now. Got it.â
^ This
Iâm greatly amused at the fact that everyone seems to think X trend in a story clearly means weâre copying the MCU now.
Multiverse is pretty much most overused concept of today.
Itâs the easiest way to milk more money out of a long-established franchise
guy who has only ever watched âthe little mermaidâ: wow getting some real strong âthe little mermaidâ vibes from this
It does seem to be extremely popular, yeah. As far as WoW goes, interdimensional murlocs are totally fine in my book. Iâd love to have an expansion based in that alternate Azeroth. Everything else feels kind ofâŚeh, at this point.
Aquaman clearly copied TLM.
Entertainment has always been cyclical to a degree. This is partly due to every concept you can think of having already been done at one point, but when something inevitably gets extremely popular, everyone wants to copy it while it is the hot ânewâ thing. In some cases the main concept itself might not be new, but the presentation is what they want to copy.
Look at American TV in the 50s/60s. Couldnât change the channel without finding a western.
Early 2000s? Everyone wanted to copy the fight scenes from the Bourne films or have some kind of take on Jack Bauer.
About ten years ago everyone wanted to do a zombie story.
The multiverse isnât a new concept, but if superhero fatigue hasnât totally kicked in after Disney/Marvel are done chasing folks away with continued woke nonsense at this point, then expect that to likely be the next trend to get chased. Hell, DC already did it with The Flash!
This was the case as far back as Warlords of Draenor and possibly even further; the Bronze Dragonflightâs purpose is to protect âthe one trueâ timelineâŚ
marvel invented bad writing.
also every badguy is now thanos.
This comment deserves more likes. I am scared we wonât see anymore good series with typical fantasy nerd stuff anymore, like dwarves, elves, swords, and spells.
