Garona is a half-orc.

Garona is a half-orc.

Except she looks half-orc/half-human, which she's not.

I know what she is, but has Blizzard actually shown what a half-orc/half-draenei suppose to look like?

[Kjanaprik]

Tbh, all the stills so far have this "silly" feel to them. The cinematics look pretty cool but somehow the still shots don't manage to capture that well.

No, but they should. Looking at it though I don't even see a trace of draenei. If their official stance is that a half-orc/half-draenei simply looks like "slightly less orc", that's irritating and fumbling the ball on what could be a pretty cool racial design.

My problem is that someone unfamiliar with the Warcraft universe looking at that would be led to assume, upon finding out she's half-orc, that the other half was human instead of some mysterious unknown (movie-wise) other race.

Don't you see the green skin and the ears/teeth! Clearly half orc!

Just like this lady is clearly an alien!

Your story checks out.

Blizzard is not so strict with WC1 lore anymore; the movie itself is a retcon. dont bet on Garona as a not half-human.

This is Garona in the comics atleast. Not far from what is shown.

But when would that have happened? As in, when did a human travel to Draenor 20ish years ago and knock up an Orc woman? Did nobody notice this?

it would be more like an orc knocking up a human female

To be fair, that was Garonas own assumption for quite a while.

Personally I think that poster is the worst of all. A painted human in sexualised pose with a huge sword instead of daggers. Seems .. wrong.

Garona was artificially aged by Gul'dan.

You're right, she has been shown, and she looks pretty much the same in the movie.

If aliens invade tomorrow and and a gray skined human shows up saying they already have alien DNA would you think too much about it?

It's a big world, humans don't even know where the orcs come from at first, or that it's the very first time those orcs have stepped into Azeroth. They just hadn't fought against them before. A more human-looking orc isn't any weirder than the orcs themselves.

As for what she is to the orcs, a squishy mutant. They don't care where she comes from, she's just not orc enough.

She is the only one who cares about her origins enough to look into it. Which she does much later.

So either a human female somehow went to Draenor, got knocked up, stayed there to have the baby, left the baby there, and somehow came back to Azeroth and didn't think to mention this to anyone.

OR

An orc male somehow came to Azeroth, knocked a lady up, stayed there until the baby was born, left with the baby and somehow went back to Draenor and nobody noticed and either killed the lady who he'd had a child with and spent the entire pregnancy with or she didn't bother to mention this to anyone, and once back on Draenor the orc didn't bother to tell anyone about traveling to another world either.

I get what you're saying, that in-universe the humans wouldn't stop and raise these questions. That's fair. My problem is that, as we as viewers would not be in-universe, we should have a narrative and character backgrounds that make any damn sense or it comes off as at best lazy/sloppy or at worst insultingly stupid and poorly planned.

Or just died.

The characters don't care about her origins. Draenei are irrelevant to the First War. How do you explain her background, which only she cares about and doesn't have any relevance to the plot, without wasting screen time? Simple, you don't. If anyone is curious enough, they'll find out about the draenei by themselves, but I bet most of the audience will just accept that she's different and doesn't fit in either world, which is the point of the character, instead of focusing on what she is and where she comes from.
