No. No. No. NO. GoT is a dumpster fire. All they did was take the history of the War of the Roses, change the names of people and locations, and then add a crapton of sex and violence to sell it. WoW does not need that treatment.

No one would care. The WoW movie bombed. Any studio who bankrolls a WoW TV show would lose their money.
makers of GoTā¦ NEVERā¦ Those people shouldnāt even be allowed to have cameras on their phones now for the crime that was season 8ā¦

Made by the same people who utterly killed one of the best television shows of all time in but a single season, and an adaptation of a series of books that was already adapted into what was for all intents and purposes the best trilogy in cinematic history?
How badly could this possibly go?

So, just a few corrections, here.
First off, the Tolkien Amazon series is not a ālord of the ringsā series, itās set in the Second Age. (Lord of the Rings was set in the Third Age, about 3,000 years after the end of the Second Age.)
If the Tolkien series is about the Fall of Numenor, then the gap is about 3,000 years. If the Tolkien series is about the War of the Elves and Sauron, then the gap will be even wider, almost 5,000 years.
Second, Iāve seen no source that the āmakers of GOTā are doing the Tolkien series. The closest thing I could find was a list of the executive producers & producers, which had two names from GoT out of eleven (good grief!) producers / executive producers:
Executive Producers Lindsey Weber (ā10 Cloverfield Laneā), Bruce Richmond (āGame of Thronesā), Gene Kelly (āBoardwalk Empireā), and Amazonās former head of genre programming Sharon Tal Yguado; writer and executive producer Gennifer Hutchison (āBreaking Badā); writer and executive producer Jason Cahill (āThe Sopranosā); writer and executive producer Justin Doble (āStranger Thingsā); consulting producers Bryan Cogman (āGame of Thronesā) and Stephany Folsom (āToy Story 4ā); producer Ron Ames (āThe Aviatorā); writer and co-producer Helen Shang (āHannibalā).

And even the article has a bad title. Shame on them.

With the amount of WoW content they can pull from, I donāt think theyāll do a good job. I didnāt even know you can botch up a GoT when the first 6 seasons were that solid, only to AFK AV the last seasonā¦
Iām all for WoW content in other media but not with GoT folks.
Did you watch Season 8?
I will never watch another product by those people ever again.
I can agree with differences in writing. I can agree with a show having an ending I donāt agree with. But show-writers purposefully screwing over an audience that has had a 20 year build-up because they wanted to work on a different project?

I would expect thick plot armors, poor writing and too much visual effect that cater to the lowest demographic.
Gotta agree, GoT maybe not, a WoW series in the creative style of Last Airbender however would be amazing. Just make sure they get my good sideā¦

There was a show that had an MMORPG attached to it and the writers would actually write about guilds in the game that achieved world firsts and such (forgot the name of the show and game unfortunately, was like a post-apocalyptic/sci-fi sort)
If WoW had that just imagine someone like Sean Bean trying to say: āThe Horde forces were routed by a guild of heroes known as Press F To Fartā with a serious face, or some guy insisting his pantsless belf named Deathsquelch be awarded an award by Lorāthemarā¦

A LotR tv series has some serious standards not from GoT but from the movie trilogy (Hobbit too). The number of people with different crafts from various fields that help create the movie series, is a hard standard to match.
oh boy, theyre gonna ruin the last seasons
Might have agreed but they killed it so bad, I donāt think theyāre gonna do WoW justice.
1000% percent this. As soon as the HBO writers no longer had George R.R. Martinās source material to lean on, the show dived straight into the crapper. But the first four seasons were top notch.

Sounds more like bad news, considering what Jackson got away with in The Hobbit and how GoT ended flat on its face.
Plus Warcraft is kinda a dumpster fire when it comes to story telling atm not unless they do something smart like an Arthas rise and fall series.
I just donāt see them being that smart or letting their egos and modern American politics mingle with their theme as it all swirls down the toilet bowl.
WoW lore has never been good. Itās not really at the same lvl as GoT or LOTR.
It most likely wouldnāt have a large enough audience to justify the costs into making it good.
The talent in GoTs production was bring top tier source material to life. Once they ran out of that, GoT went massively downhill.
Iād hate to see what they would do with WoWās source material, as weak as it is.
