[Movie] Warcraft (June 2016)

Im now actually dont worry about Illidan being obviously CGIed in the potantial sequels. They can pull him in all his glory even with CGI. That level of CGI will allow to do it without the quality and realism loss.

Have a treat.

Well, she wanted to weaponize the Sha aswell, much like Garrosh. I say she's pretty unique in her own ways.

These kind of people are useful in war, but not as leaders. That's why having a warchief is a bad idea in general. You savages!

When you see so many people confused as to who the demonized-wizard is (referencing Illidan), you know lore purist are the minority. So few people actually know the story of WC1, it's kinda staggering. Now mention the Lich King....

Well now we have a Banshee Queen. :^)

Well hey, an Admiral leading a whole military expedition in a foreign continent sounds dangerously close!

Jokes aside, if Thrall would have listened good ol' Cairne we wouldn't have been in that mess to begin with.

Guess this is how female draenei will look (atleast elder ones?)

The more I look at these CGI vs actor pictures, the more I want every future non-human race to be CGI. They're so much more interesting to look at...



I didn't say she was right, but she had her reasons. How many commanders of the Horde are just like her without a fraction of her pain?

For the Alliance!

Now that I think about it, if that troll scene doesn't happen, what did those guys from the article see? An orc bouncing off the shield of a human? Sounds unlikely.

Could that be a deleted scene? I'd love to see cinematic trolls, even if they're unpolished, maybe in the blu-ray extras?

Possibly a cut scene yea

To be fair, most Warcraft players (War III or WoW) didn't play Warcraft I. More probably read The Last Guardian, even.

I have only played WoW, but since I have been so interested in the lore of characters, I have read a lot about the first war on Wowpedia

And that's why asymmetry is important. Scary thing.

Draenei Mother is cute.

If there's a sequel, do you think it'll incorporate BtDP, or will that be the third film (with the Third War being pushed back to the fourth)?

I have two weird theories, and neither really work unless some big changes are made.

The first one: The Second War and the Expedition happen simultaneously. Lothar vs Orgrim in Azeroth and Turalyon vs Ner'zhul in Draenor. Both stories could be intertwined throughout the two movies and have them both end at the same time in the third one. BtDP would have to be expanded, but considering we've just spent an expansion on Draenor, I think they have more than enough material (arakkoa, ogres, all the Shadowmoon stuff). The biggest change: Turalyon wouldn't be at Blackrock. Also, Thrall wouldn't play a key role, and I think they want him to.

The second one: They make the Second War last a long time and incorporate the beginning of Thrall's campaign from Warcraft 3. A 17-20 years old Thrall escapes from Blackmoore, learns about his father and tries to convince Orgrim to stop the long-going war, but failing to do so, sails towards Kalimdor at the end of the third movie. Obviously this has some huge implications, including having a 20-something Varian and a teenage Arthas running around at the same time that Lothar, Uther and Turalyon are fighting Orgrim and Ner'zhul, which complicates things unnecessarily. Beyond the Dark Portal wouldn't be as big of a chapter.

As I said, neither really work, but I can't think of many other ways to keep most characters from the first movie relevant. Jumping to Warcraft 3 as others have suggested would destroy all character development for Orgrim and Lothar.

You're right, and it makes me mad

METZEN STAY AWAY

The only thing u need to speculate about future movies are how would metzen do it, 1 things is for sure, thrall are gonna come out of this like a hero, then u can put in wather u want to fill the gap

Aw, c'mon, he wasn't a bad character until Cataclysm, and even then, it was more about other characters being ignored than him being obnoxious. His role in Lord of the Clans and Warcraft 3 was good, and he deserves a place in the cinematic universe.

Very true. But the fact that everyone thinks that is Illidan goes to show how bad it will go for the next movie if they tried to "streamline" his story. Same with Arthas. THrall no one gives a s..t about.

[Tornwar]

Hey Thrall is a cool character, no need to hate on him. His only problem is that he have had too much screen time in the game

Thrall's early story could be a standalone movie of its own.
From his early years of training as a gladiator, fighting,distrusting humans, until he meets Taretha and befriends her, to his escape and meeting with his people, his rise to warchief, freeing the orc clans and ending with him destroying Durnholde Keep.
It is a pretty self-contained story and very interesting.

Why would it go bad ?
People just get confused because he is the most iconic demon-looking character and possesed Medivh does kinda resemble him.
I dont think this relates to "streamlining" at all.

Yeah, but I don't see them making solo movies for Warcraft. I think they want to keep that "heroes on both sides" concept throughout the trilogy.

They could make more straight-forward movies for Warcraft 3 (the game, not the third movie), since the campaigns are easier to separate from each other.
