    Did you like the Warcraft movie? (Those of us who logged in back then got this promotional item, bro.)

    Edit: By the way, Henry Cavill is an Alliance player. Surprising, as I kind of thought most celebrities would favor the Horde (perhaps b/c most Blizzard employees are Horde?)

    "You see, there is balance in all things. Wisdom etched in our very fur: Black and white. Darkness and light. When the last emperor hid our land from the rest of the world, he also preserved...our ancient enemy, the mantid. So it is with your Alliance and your Horde. They are not strong despite one another; they are strong BECAUSE of one another. You mistake your greatest strength for weakness. Do you see this?"

    Warcraft fans obsession with this middling villain is baffling

    No. Give us an animated show... I don't think WoW's diverse cast of races will work in a live action field unless they go balls out with spending on it and even then alot of it will look horribly cheap... Something along the lines of Arcane will work better in Warcraft favour.

    Hell give us this animation style from the team that did this...


    At least it keeps WoW's more rough cartoony edge that I am more familiar with from the franchise.

    While I do agree he is pretty over rated as a villain, what with being cliché even for the time Warcraft 3 came out, he's one of the more iconic villains WoW has had... which is funny in hindsight :P

    I love Warcraft, I dislike WoW

    I thought it was "okay", by which I mean that it's nowhere near as unusually bad as critics made it out to be. It was an average movie for modern Hollywood production, but I consider modern Hollywood movies to be crap. I consider the Warcraft movie to be slightly better than your average MCU schlock but I think superhero movies are absolutely bottom of the barrel so that isn't saying much. On a technical level the Orc CGI was great, perhaps the best looking CGI for an inhuman character after Avatar, but I found the story to be dull. Lots of Orcs sitting around pouting about killing people but they're going to do it anyway, and then the human side is also pretty meh. The king wasn't very kingly, not someone you wanted to see win. I never felt Lothar's connection to his son. Khadgar felt like a character from a completely different genre, not fitting into the story of an apprentice who reluctantly stood up to his master and helped a noble knight behead him. Medivh didn't feel threatening. Soundtrack was forgettable.

    Disregarding that it's a modern Hollywood movie, I am puzzled as to why it took this long to release. The Warcraft movie came out 7 years after Warcraft reached its zenith in mainstream popularity. 2016 was way too late. Worse, this might have been their one and only shot at a Warcraft movie, and rather than try to deliver the most entertaining movie possible, they instead choose to create a dull set up movie, as if they were going to get more movies. That is putting the cart before the horse. You need a good movie for people to care about a long term movie franchise in the first place. Making a dull movie and thinking people will slog through it to see the "maybe better" sequels is a boneheaded idea. The movie should have been a self contained original story, or at least have adapted a story that wasn't as dull and could have been told in 90-120 minutes.

    We need someone other than the male megan fox to do the role. Cavill has zero acting range other than emo brooding.

    No matter how relevant the post, I will stop reading after 'should of'.

    I would rather not have wow media of blizzard has narrative control over it. The short stories Tokyopop wrote were amazing and retroactively added a lot of lore to the game.

    Sadly blizz didnt like other people playing with their toys and recalled the license because of it.

    I'd rather any Warcraft film be done by Blizzard's in house CGI team TBH.

    Arthas is more a shorter, stocky smug guy. The guy who plays Homelander in The Boys might be a good Arthas!
    It would be a better choice I think, albeit he might be a bit old for the role. Arthas during WC3 is in his early twenties if memory serves. Anthony Starr is more than 45 years old. But in terms of personality, Homelander hits a bunch of notes that resonate with Arthas for sure.

    I mean.... I can see it, but at this point what "imposing man" does Cavill not slot into....

    Admittedly..... back when she was young enough for the role, she would have made one hell of a Bond girl opposite Cavill
