If there's something I realized from reviews and reactions in general, starting the story from WC1 is the barest of problems. The real problems concerning this movie are strictly cinematographic. The lore is irrelevant. At most, the problem general audience has with the lore is how much overwhelming it feels if you know nothing about it. You weren't going to solve such a problem by making things thrice more messy than they already are.
It worked well because the story was incredibly straightforward. Yet you think that Warcraft's "strength" would be the "multiple story arcs" when in fact is the actual problem. Tell one story in a 2-hours long movie is a thing, telling multiple stories in that same time is another.
