This came on Max last night after watching LOTR. And wow. Went there right away with the blue orc baby (until the leader drained the lifeforce from a deer and voila, green squalling orc baby.)
Khadgar looks like a frat boy beer pong bro. I though he was supposed to be an older, grey-haired guy.
Garona, a half-orc, half human slave catches feelings with a human Anduin Lothar. Is she in the game? Or only in the movie?
So is all this in the Lore? I’m terrible at lore and fell asleep before it was over.
The movie lore has no connection to real wow lore. They made changes to the lore too as all movies do from books and light novels, like Gul’dan using magic and “magic banned in Makgura” - its not. This created the whole “THRALL CHEATED!!!” BS. Magic was always allowed in Mak gora.
There is a lot to dislike about the movie… they tried very hard to whitewash the horde but that makes the entirety of the plot from warcraft 1 and 2 nonsensical.
It wasn’t really till warcraft 3 that orcs stopped pulling off each others arms for comedy. They really are warhammer orcs till warcraft 3 and they would of been better off just starting there rather then flushing out the backstory.
The movie takes place before/during the 1st War. So…Warcraft 1 era.
Baby Thrall was dying from essentially blue baby syndrome caused by his momma going through the portal. Gul’Dan used fel magic to save him.
Khadgar is young because at that time in the lore he WAS young.
Garona is half Orc half Draenei in the movie. and she is in the game in various places, most notably as a champion in BFA and as one of the leaders of the Rogue Class Order Hall in Legion.
eh, I enjoyed it. it wasn’t nearly as bad as people make it out to be.
that said, it did take many liberties with the lore.
True… I’m glad they made it like they did. It was fun to watch with the family and they all understood what was happening and it really wasn’t that off from what I knew. I’m not “lore expert” but most of the stories were familiar to me.
In the movie she is half orc with medivh as her father.
I mean. Thats basically what it was.
They took a bunch of names, places, etc and made a similar story. But it was removed enough from canon lore it couldnt be considered accurate. It was just “another time line with key things that changed, and their ripple effect”
A lot of wow lore would be so hard to toss into a single movie for sure. At least without making it seem more complicated than it needs too be which is less entertaining lol.
Which is why I wish they do a series or something. Just individual characters and events!
