It's pretty remarkable how Warcraft lore really doesn't suit the 2015 fantasy landscape at all. I guess that's one of the problems with being in production for 9 years.

Post-Hobbit audiences are probably still at least a little soured on goofball fantasy.

Hobbit audiences loved those movies.

ASOIF has two different types of Elves though even if the Wood Elves are a bit extinct. That's a lot of Elves.

And Warcraft 1 doesn't have elves.

I'm sure there's someone out there who thinks WH40k's terrible writing is "dope" because it makes nerds mad.

No, that's nerds who think the writing is dope.

I haven't followed Blizzard games since the original Warcraft III came out more than 10 years ago but aren't you guys forgetting the third Blizzard story cliche, "heroic leader sacrifices themselves to defeat the ultimate evil"? Or is that less common than I'm remembering?

Hasn't happened in Starcraft 2 yet to the best of my knowledge. Kinda happened in Diablo 3 but the heroic leader got better at the end.

China goes fuckin' nuts over action movies with tons of CGI so this'll make bank over there.

Truly something unique to the Chinese.

It also probably looks better in a more photorealistic environment. Certainly more than cherry red.

It's so bizarre to me that they are basing the movie off of Warcraft and not World of Warcraft. Why would you do just Orcs and Humans when you could have the Burning Legion, Arthas, etc plus all the cool races and stuff. Seems like a missed opportunity.

Orcs and Humans is the simplest story you can do in the Warcraft universe, and it allows you to build off of it and introduce Thrall et all.

What's the latter.

Goblins, who weren't really affiliated with anyone until the last expansion or the one before that.
