I actually really like that double face X one. Or maybe it just seems really good compared to how bizarrely terrible the other ones are.

I saw some leaked shots of the movie and if nothing else those orcs are going to look insane, it's all makeup and prosthetics.

Cleretic posted:Is there a thread, in BSS or something, where we can just bring up and talk about these kinds of 'remember that one time' events that make no goddamn sense? Because I don't read comics, but I love when I occasionally hear things like 'Peter Parker once got turned into a giant spider and gave birth to himself' or 'Ultron once turned Tony Stark's suit, with him still inside it, into an android based off Wasp'. I made that thread.

I forgot about the YEARS in the 90s where Hulk was just a very handsome and intelligent man who happened to be green and huge.

Uh, not sure if you're joking or not because the orcs are CGI and done by ILM, hence why they look legit.   The eyes in the first one creep me out a little though, they're so... human.

Those Orcs are the opposite of Uncanny Valley. I can't help but be lost in their eyes, and I can't put that feeling into words without sounding gay.

Gonz posted:Those Orcs have some serious "Harry & The Hendersons" eyes. Not sure when the story is to take place, but the Orcs used to be a (generally) peaceful, shamanic culture, not unlike early native americans. Then one of their shamans went evil and duped the rest, turning most other orcs evil as well. In a lot of ways, the Orcs are sort of the antiheroes in WoW, as they are only evil because of being tricked and poisoned, where humans are generally just assholes all the time for no specific reason.

net cafe scandal posted:And then what happened? With the original timeline, the Orcs got corrupted by drinking demons blood, their homeland of Draenor got blasted apart becoming Outland, and you get the original Warcraft games, where they went through the Dark Portal and battle humans for control of Azeroth. With the current expansion, the timeline split. So now there's an alternate timeline where the original orcs never got corrupted, but still chose to invade current Azeroth. So the current Orcs and the Humans have semi-teamed up to go through the Dark Portal into alt-Draenor and push back the old Orcs so they don't kill everyone (since they don't like Humans or current Orcs). It's get's a bit confusing, and there's some serious Biff/Sports Almanic bullshit going on. I'm not sure if the storyline for the movie has been released, but if I had to guess I'd say you'll probably get everything up to the Burning Crusade (bad guys that corrupted the Orcs) showing up in Azeroth, and the Orcs and Humans realizing that maybe tearing each others throats out isn't the best use of their time.

Trying to recount the lore of Warcraft is a fool's errand since the guy in charge of it all constantly retconned his own story at every possible step, even before time travel got involved.

At a glance, sure, but if you ever actually get into it, you'll realize it's really never made any sense. If you want a headache, read up on Garona Halforcen sometime.

The booklets with all the history that came with Warcraft 2 is probably the best book I've ever read.
