It’s understandable for ~Year 20 or 21, not for ~Year 33 when they’ve had 12-13 years to learn the truth of the circumstances.
Which isn’t to say BE’s don’t have legitimate gripes with the Alliance, these days, but “our human neighbors willfully invaded and decimated Quel’thalas” isn’t one of them.
wows movie, warcraft
high elves. not kidding. these were high elves in the movie
The exaggerated style of Warcraft almost demands that any television show or movie be created entirely with CGI, IMHO.
Well I don’t think they’re as “Angry” now with the humans, especially now that Arthas was killed, and the truth of all that had happened was put to light. Even Liadrin herself shows remorse for the things she and her people did out of their misguided rage for vengeance. I wouldn’t say an “evil” race would care very much about their pass deeds, or at all.
Burn it please, burn it and never look back. I don’t know what idiot was in charge of designs, but they need to be fired and thrown into a tar pit.
Yeah, it was hard to get anyone to watch the Warcraft movie if they didnt have any knowledge of it…
heck it was kinda hard for me to follow. too much bouncing around.
The Game cinematics have always been top notch stuff.
my mom liked the wow movie a lot but it isn’t much different than the marvel movies she loves so much. it just happened to be about wow.\
no one besides the people i got into playing wow care for the game itself though.
i kinda like that they have some asian faces and darker skin tones. could work well for the wrathion style elves i’m working on. haha
My mom loved the Orcs in the movie lmao
Not even going to lie…Garona.
screams bloody murder
banshee! everybody scatter!
give her elf ears, remove orc fangs. there’s a wrathion style elf.
Just want to pop back in here and voice my support for playable Alliance High Elves!
Also, here’s some High Elf art for everyone:

Dude, Alleria is like the ONE that was not in Azeroth since the damn second war, it’s a non example…
You dismiss reasonable arguments because you don’t like who says it.
Why do you want to drive the discussion into a circular manner? I have explained why saying this is nonsensical.
Look, settle on.
What I say is that it’s the Blood elves through the Blood Knights who use the light energies of the Sunwell. Not the High elves, since they have never been aligned to such force.
You will NEVER find any High elf that use the light through the Sunwell, because they don’t do. Only Blood elves do that.
Well, I’m gonna let that right there. Anyone can see who is reaching absurd levels of justification, I’m too occupied playing with friends and you don’t deserve to be answered, given the way you plug your fingers in your ears and cry like a baby 
Goodbye, if I return I will not even answer you, as I did with the other troll, Guzzle. I was discussing with Softsong by the way.
True. I wouldn’t describe BE’s as evil in any case – even a bunch of the ones who went with Kael’thas ultimately weren’t strictly “evil”.
Um, when Lorthemar goes to visit the High elves in Quel’lithien lodge and tells them about the Sunwell being restored, Aurora a high elf priest quite literally begins to twist the light of the Sunwell between her fingers, stating that she was wondering why she no longer needed help coping with her magic withdrawal. High elves that wield light most certainly do utilize the Sunwell.
somewhat evil
the dev describes it as losing their souls. i think thats not quite accurate either. they had lost their way, is better said. their faith in the light went on vacation to bermuda, bahamas… key largo, montego…aruba, jamaica. kokomooooo.
anyway, then the whole thing with the naaru. to hear the dev tell it, it sounds somewhat evil. and this amidst the commentary that they were trying to figure out how to believably give high elves to the horde. after they came up with that story arc and the quests related, they felt the players would see that they do indeed fit on the horde. it was kinda weird how they approached it. for example:
first they let the viewer know that these people are soul less as a result of a horrible event that stripped them of their faith.
they then abused various critters and demonic energies, became corrupted (fell from grace sorta story)
then abused a naaru.
their connection to the light via their paladins and priests, was merely for the purpose of using it, not respecting it or learning from it
and this would sell the playerbase on why high elves should be on the horde.
i sat scratching my head over it, since i’ve been lead to believe the horde were noble savages, had honor, would not embrace something fallen from grace as it were, since even the undead believe in the benefits of the learning from the light (despite the fact it hurts them to use it…which is straaange)
