Anyway I was thinking about this post and thought what if there is some new single group strat we could use to take down ubermobXXX I mean obviously if they create an EQ movie the group will be limited to 6 unless they form a raid, right? So hopefully a few of the main charaters get whacked and the plot changes slightly.... maybe the frost giants will invade Thurg and we get to watch an awsome battle that used to be really really fun :) I know you will see the movie... its in your blood... you can not avoid it no matter how hard you try not to...

I think a Joss Whedon <i>Everquest</i> movie might be interesting. Joss tells a good story, but where he really shines, and what I think fantasy movies desperately need, is characterization. The standard archetypes have been done over and over and over. We get it. Peter Jackson got away with it because his movie was based on the works that created the archetype. Now we need to move on, and if anyone can create an ensemble cast of truly interesting characters, it would be Whedon. Pipe dream of course, but there it is. Great post, /agree all around.
