I know we all like LOTR! wow devs and all!
First it was Diablo Immortal trailer, now the end cinematic for BFA
Blizzard! Stop paying “homage” to them! I really doubt LOTR wants Blizzard (a billion dollar company) paying “homage” by ripping off their material.
STOP BEING LAZY!
Its funny how the wow community has more respect in general then Blizzard!
DONT
DO
THAT
AGAIN
I think you’re mistaking homage for lazy plagiarism.
What that, You want it be copyright and have nothing about it? I guess we have No fun here then, Let robot handle the writing then do so well with youtube.
Blizzard announces that Elves, Dwarves and Orcs have been replaced with Bunnymen, Shortymusclemen and Angreenmen.
Yes every one should be fuzzy i agree but at the very least it would be original…
Yeah, it’s not like every piece of fantasy media hasn’t been doing so for (checks watch)…70 years. Also, ever been to Icecrown?? It’s Mordor on ice. There is literally a quest to destroy an eye at the top of the citadel. Selective outrage once again.
It was an embarrassingly blatant rip off, like Blizz didn’t even try to hide it.
I don’t think it’s ever anything but selective outrage.
Everything is just like everything else. Stop comparing WoW to other things. If you look hard enough, everything looks and sounds like SOMETHING else you’ve seen or heard.
Get over yourself!
WoW has been inspired by lotr since the beginning. C’thun eye from vanilla looks like Sauron for example, same with Darkmoon fair eye.
Yeah. I totes remember that scene where Frodo shot a laser beam out of his chest to defeat Sauron.
Listen here Shnickles, your name is freaking adorable. That’s all I have to say about that.
Which streamer or Youtuber has you up in arms?
none tyvm UwU
I’m just saying its disrespectful, that’s its. Blizzard can do whatever they want.
In the event this isn’t bland troll bait [I have a feeling it is] you do know Tolkien isn’t the only writer allowed to use elves,dwarves and the like right? Elves and dwarves have been around since the existence of Norse and Celtic mythos By your argument/ flawed logic, Gary Gaigax somehow ripped Tolkien off too in making Dungeons and Dragons which would be a very absurd notion to make.
Not everything in fantasy is a “LotR knockoff” which is almost as dumb as those who used to accuse game reviewers on YouTube as Rip offs of James Rolfe/AVGN. Sit down and eat a snickers OP,you’re a terrible troll when you’re hungry.
Statement: I dont remember someone using Kamehameha at a giant squid that blew up in glowing light in fireworks.
Query: are you referring to when the obelisk collapsed?
Statement: you cant copyright a building being destroyed.
None of this would exist without LOTR. Its fine calm down
I’m a little lost here. Why are people comparing the ending of WoW with LoTR?
I must have missed the part where Frodo shot an anime beam at the Eye of Sauron.
The thing tho it was…
