DISCUSSION: How would a p101 movie work?

Now, this isn't a suggestion. It's a discussion on if it would work. Anyways, I personally think it probably wouldn't be very good because it would be a movie about a game ( We all know how those turn out ) I mean look at the angry birds movie. You notice something? Yeah, they gave them bodies. Which in my opinion ruins them. I mean, that's what the angry birds are known for. The only way they move is jumping and launching off of a catapult. Plus we've seen no sign of the blue birds except for one picture on the wiki. There probably would only be 4 pirates instead of 5 because most game movies don't even have a major character. For example: Some secondary protagonists that are completely optional: Major role. Some characters that are in and can not be scribbled over: Not even in the movie/Replaced with someone who doesn't exist in the game/A background character/Mentioned once on a newspaper. So, you are free to have your own opinion on this. This is just mine.

When I would throw the artichoke heart, Zhane would go after it. So I put it on Kane's head. You may say that's impossible. But that's Zhane's dream ever thursday -Darkmoordude

It'd have to work to everyone's liking. Maybe a vote on the lead class, and the script could be a challenge, since the player can't be silent.

Or they could just make it like the Gregory horror show where it's first person and the character doesn't speak

I'd rather a Pirate101 film be about the lore of the Spiral and how pirates fit into it instead of the pirate's story against the Armada. You can't tell me that you're not curious about the origins of some worlds (Cool Ranch in particular, for me) and how they all fit together. Something like that would free up the scripting ability; instead of it being about one particular character, it'd be multiple stories woven together and it would eliminate the awkwardness of choosing one class over another and other challenges presented in making a film about one particular pirate fighting against the clockworks.

I agree. Personally I'd like some more lore about the spiral.

Update: I don't think they should cause they would have to cut it into quite a few different parts. The shortest world is over an hour.

More than likely, the easiest way to create a movie about Pirate101, would be to write an origin style story. Instead of focusing on the hero pirate and their travel through the different worlds along the Spiral, the movie plot could be about Captain Avery, his last few days during the Polarian War and the founding of Skull Island. All events taking place long before the hero pirate ever arrives at Skull Island.

Yes, it shouldn't be about the game itself cause it would be WAY too long.

If it was about the storyline we would have to have an uber class, and the pirate would have to be like every class, I reckon everyone would like it that way

Furthermore, making a story about our hero pirate, even more than what class should the hero be, would have to decide -- should this movie hero be about a boy or a girl? Making either choice would disappoint some people. It's very nice to have a game where it doesn't matter if you are a boy or a girl, you are on the same playing field. No, a background story, as Misty and Scarlet have suggested, would be the best solution...

Would anyone like to see a KingsIsle documentary? It would educate players as to what goes into making an MMORPG & what job opportunities are available. More specifically the concept of story telling for both Wizard & Pirate and how these games became so popular - 50 million players can't be wrong!

welp it depends on what genre of movie your talking about
if it was action then it would start with like maybe a buceneer, then maybe the buceneer will hire some other pirates to help him and he would sail through the spiral making a whole army of friends who all help them destroying the evil

tell me what genre and ill think up one for you if you want.
