  • WAR. And craft. Well I've never heard of such a thing but regardless let's get into the 2016 Warcraft film adaptation directed by Duncan Jones. Acting as an origin story for the conflict between the orcs of Draenor and the humans of Azotha it both sides this epic conflict with more motion capture than the average brain can possibly comprehend.

      I don't know if it could have drawn enough at the box office to warrant a sequel regardless of how good it was, so doing it in two parts would have been risky. It does suffer from being essentially two movies in one, though, and to me it always felt like the human half of the story was sort of half-baked and phoned-in. Kind of a feat that the orcs feel like the more real characters -- pretty stacked cast of mocap actors, too. The human half is also where the story more significantly deviates from the source material.

    So I worked at Blizzard in Austin TX as a Game Master for WoW from 2007 to 2012. The executives would periodically come down to visit our office, and hold Q&As. In one of those Q&As I'm standing in line to ask my question (this was ages ago, I forget what I was asking about) but as my turn comes up, Todd Pawlowski who was the Customer Service VP decides to "guess my question" and proceeds to hijack my turn to "ask" about the Warcraft movie and then the executives took several minutes to talk to us about how the film was progressing.
    I didn't give a damn about the movie then, and I'm pretty sure none of the other hard working CS folks there cared much either. We were more concerned about silly things like pay & compensation, growth opportunities, problems with the game that caused us a lot of stress, etc. I did eventually get to ask my question which was mostly brushed off, but for several weeks, everyone who was in that Q&A when walking by me would ask if I wanted to know about the Warcraft movie.

    So many video game movies up to this point had such clear CONTEMPT for their source material -- Doom, Super Mario Bros., and so on. In recent years with Sonic and SMB Hollywood has FINALLY learned how to not be embarassed of the property it's adapting. But at the time this came out, WoW fans just wanted their favorite game to not be pissed all over on the big screen.
    I remember being in the theatre when the Murloc made its iconic gurgle, and i was like "Ok. This movie might actually like its audience! This might be cool!" and i still think I was right. it's a real shame they didn't let Duncan do another. It would have made a fine trilogy, or more. Lord knows there's enough source material to make as many movies as they felt like making (which sadly turned out to be ... one.)

    Fun fact: to power the opening of the Dark Portal, Gul'dan, the first orc warlock, and the one responsible for creating the Horde in the first place (albeit through his puppet Blackhand), had to suck out the souls of hundreds if not thousands of draenei, using them as fuel for his magic.
    The draenei (who look like blue humanoids, with males having face tentacles) are not native to Draenor, but instead to a world called Argus, which was dominated and broken by the Dark Titan Sargeras (who incidentally is the one possessing Medivh by the way) as he expanded the Burning Legion. The draenei (Exiled Ones in their language), led by the Prophet Velen, were able to escape Argus with help from angelic beings called Naaru, while most of their people, the Eredar, were transformed into demons by Sargeras. The draenei fled from world to world until reaching Draenor, where their dimensional vessel crashed. The world, by the way, is named after them.
    Gul'dan came into contact with the Eredar demonlord Kil'Jaeden the Deceiver, who is the real one responsible for the creation of the Horde. Kil'Jaeden was once Velen's dear friend, and has been hunting the draenei for millennia. This is why the Horde was especially cruel towards the draenei, even paving a huge road from their bones, which they called the Path of Glory.
    Anyway, the fact is that this backstory is why the initial drafts of the Warcraft movie was called "Blue Harvest".

    Need to rewatch but I remember a big problem I had was I wish it was more movies so they could chill with the pacing. It felt like it zipped along from scene to scene and felt like there was much more to tell. I mean obviously there is because the Warcraft story as a whole is pretty chunky, but still.

    I suppose for the film, they wanted a dramatic contrast (and maybe to further separate it from LotR?), but as someone who played the games, I could never quite get behind just how frickin' HUGE they made the orcs in this.

    • @user-oc6on9nv1x
      @user-oc6on9nv1x Před 20 dny

      That’s how big they are supposed to be, well closer than the game actually. Orcs are 7’5-8ft tall in the lore. In the movie they were like 9ft tall and in the game they are 6’10 so the 9ft range felt more like how the orcs are depicted in the books and lore as opposed to the game where they stunk a lot of the races for gameplay purposes.

    • @wiremesh2
      @wiremesh2 Před 19 dny

      @@user-oc6on9nv1x I can only assume this comes from some supplemental material? From the sprites in WC1&2 and the models in WC3 and WoW, they were never even close to that big, at least when it comes to regular grunts and peons.
      Combine that with how small actual humans are compared to your average WC human, and it's a crazy contrast. Personally I think they work better at a smaller scale.

    • @button9

      If you watch all their cinematics, they're about 7-8ft tall consistently. I think in game they kept them a bit smaller - but watch all the cinematics from Legion, Draenor and BfA and they're all pretty big/tall hunched over. They seemed to make them less hunched in the movie so they seem taller sometimes.

    I played a lot of WoW in Jr. High and HighSchool (2008-2012) which was peak World of Warcraft (about 11 million players), along with a lot of friends that ranged from some of the biggest but most lovable geeks to friends of mine that I was on the Soccer (Int Footall) team with and another friend of mine who was captain of our schools football team, so it was a huge variety of different people and when this came out, none of us really cared anymore. Lol, I remember telling my guy friends to not tell any of our female friends that we played WoW. Mostly because that ‘South Park’ Episode “Make Love, Not Warcraft” had come out a few years prior, which I love but, ya know.. still wanted to be able to get laid 😂 There is so much Lore in Wow, that to make a singular movie about it, is near impossible.

    The Warcraft movie is a guilty pleasure for me because as a fan I enjoy the Warcraft stuff, the orcs look great, and I like how they stylized the human armor. But also as a fan I realized, “They can’t make a sequel,” because the humans straight up lost the first war and the second war is a follow-up to Stormwind being burnt to the ground.
