Lore Differences in Game vs. Movie – Warcraft Wisdom

3 Sections seen with "Warcraft Wisdom" above them. The left being an orc reading the newspaper, the middle being mounds of gold, and the right being a book upon a table titled "Turalyon's Story".

 

Hello again, Azeroth learners! It is I, Professor Thaddeus Paleo, back with another addition to our wisdom library. As many of you know a documentary was recently released about the deep, deep history of our beloved Azeroth.  Some humans are said to be calling this documentary the “Warcraft Movie” but old Thaddeus is certain it must be a historical documentary!  My only concern was would this “movie” accurately retell our history. A fellow scholar, Nobbel, tackles this question in a recent video called Lore Changes for the Warcraft Movie – [Lore].

 

WARNING SPOILERS IN VIDEO AHEAD

If you have not seen the movie, Professor Thaddeus insists you do not press play as there are multiple spoilers included.  Once you have watched this masterpiece, visit Nobbel again to hear his comparisons. If you have already seen it, enjoy this comparison between our rich rich history and the movie adaptation.

 


There you have it, fellow scholars. Now did you catch the differences? Did they contribute to your opinions of the movie? Let me know as we can have a deliberate discussion about it!  Also, be sure to check out Nobbel’s fine collection of Azeroth history. That is all for this chat, but until we meet again my Azeroth scholars… Remember, always be passionately curious!
