After watching Warcraft movie i can't help but think about this idea. I refuse to believe that blizzard made this much lore holes in pivotal lore moments.
Some things i catched while i was watching the movie:
- Ner'zhul is nowhere to be found
- Khadgar didnt get age sucked out of him
- Alodi is a flying stone with Medivh's mother remnant sitting inside it
- Garona is not mind controlled by Gul'dan
- It is heavily suggested that Garona's parents are Medivh + some random orc woman
- King Llane asked Garona to kill him in the middle of the battle
- Lothar kills Blackhand
- Draka and Durotan deaths
- No forest trolls and ogres to be found
So all these things makes me wonder if it's yet another blizz trick. Could it be that they've created "3rd parallel universe" with first two being our WoW timeline and the 2nd one being Draenor from WoD? Because if they did "lighten the lore" for unfamilliar viewers, they did very bad job with it.
You see, i went to see the movie with my girlfriend and she never ever played any of the warcraft games\read warcraft books\etc. And she just didn't shut up with the questions about movies characters, like "who is he? why is he green?", "Why was that horned blue woman in the cage?" "What happened to orc homeworld?" and so on.
Even though i really liked the movie, i wonder why did blizz made the move like this.
