I stopped following Warcraft after TFT but why are the Orcs brown?

I'm guessing it's related to the weird retcon where the 'bad' Orcs were all actually red-skinned and not green from Warcraft 3?

Orcs can be lots of colours in Warcraft, from brown to bright green. Stop being orc-racist.

No, really, I'm not being facetious, I'm pretty sure that's the answer.

This is real dumb. They literally just put out a cinematic game trailer yesterday. Also the movie isn't actually made by Blizzard's CGI team.

No, he's saying that would have happened if they'd had their in-house cinematics team make the movie. I admit the grammar made it hard to grasp, but I assume that was a typo.

Honestly after watching the trailer I just wished they had made an Elder Scrolls movie.

What to see a lizard-man, cat-man and roguish human fight hordes of cliff racers in fantasy Tamriel.

Some of them are black-grey...

e: Apparently Blizzard has now taken to German racialism of the 19th century/Nazism for inspiration too, using "Blood and Soil" as the name for a skill for one of the traditionally good guy classes. Now if only they could take cinematic cues from Riefenstahl.

If it's surfacing in the South China Sea then the Chinese will have to watch the movie to secure their claims.

Do remember that Warlocks also used to have a talent called 'Holocaust'.

So?

I could understand being upset if they called it "THE Holocaust" but they don't. It's an actual word that was used far before the Holocaust happened.

I just thought it was amusing in the context of a later perk being straight-up named 'Blood and Soil'.
