Warriors Movie!

I can’t be the only one worried about this, right? If they get it right, the pay offs for the community could be amazing. If not, the series might suffer :/ Of course, it may not even be set in stone. I’m predicting this will come out (if at all) in around 2019-20, considering it is still in its very early stages by the sound of it.

The main thing that worries me is that the people who are making it have probably not even touched a warriors book. I love fan-made animations because it’s made by fans for the fans. They understand warriors, and the people making this movie might not. If you kill the feel of the books, you’ve killed the movie for the fans.

Another thing is character cuts. The only problem with the huge cast is that a movie will almost definitely cut out characters, or even worse, merge them. I know a few people have touched on this issue in the past, so I won’t go into the details.

I’m trying to think of a series that was better in the movie than the book. How to Train Your Dragon is literally all I’ve got. The Hunger Games was definitely better as a book, and from what I’ve heard it’s the same with the Maze Runner and Harry Potter (don’t hold me to those, I don’t like either of the franchises, just an example XD)

I don’t know how great the animation quality will be, either. I looked around the internet for some previous works by the company handling this, and I couldn’t find much. I just hope that it isn’t that ‘animated characters pasted on an irl picture’ kind. I’m not a fan of it personally, but I know that this is more personal taste. I’d quite like a 2d movie, as it would represent what most fan animations go for. Of course, it links back to the people making the movie probably not being in the fandom, so it’s unlikely they’ll know about all of the stuff the community does.

Now, don’t think I’m not hyped. I was screeching with excitement when I first found out. I am totally open to new people joining the community, and the series will probably get a lot more recognition.

I’m excited to find out who will be voicing these characters. I don’t want an all-celebrity cast, and I don’t want a load of kids voicing everyone. Some respected names would be nice, but as long as they sound like they care I’m happy 🙂

I can’t wait to see what they’ll do with the territory. I hope it’s as beautiful as I think it will be. Moonstone (if they choose to have it) is gonna look amazing. Looks are a big thing when it comes to movies. It could have a great storyline, but if the graphics aren’t up to scratch then people might give it a miss.

So overall, I have my doubts, but I’m excited to see where this will take the fandom.
