Warcraft/Trivia: Difference between revisions

** But imagine the [[YouTube Poop]]s that could've come out of that!

* [[Development Hell]]: The movie. Talk of an adaptation started in 2006, with the current release being a decade later. The plot flip-flopped between being about the First War to being set just prior to ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' (the reason cited being that the popularity of the franchise was from the MMO, not the RTS'). Sam Raimi was originally supposed to direct, but the project was put off so that Raimi could focus on other films. He eventually left, citing mismanagement on Blizzard's part who had vetoed most of his pre-production work. It was not until 2013 that the movie was finally [[Saved From Development Hell]].

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Uther the Lightbringer is [[Diablo II|Deckard Cain]] and [[StarCraft|Tassadar]]! Maiev Shadowsong is Meryl from [[Metal Gear|Metal Gear Solid]]! And many, many more!

** Illidan is [[Naruto|Gaara]] (in a cutscene, at least; his VA in the game proer is Matthew Yang King, btw) and The Lich King is [[Soul Series|Astaroth]]!

** Kel'Thuzad is voiced by [[Transformers|Tracks and Cosmos]] ([[Michael McConnohie]]).

** The Prophet {{spoiler|Medivh}} and the Druid of the Talon are voiced by [[Michael Bell|Raziel]] from ''[[Legacy of Kain]]''.

* [[What Could Have Been]]:

** ''Warcraft I'':

*** The original version of the Scourge, as envisioned, would use corpses as resources instead of gold. You'd kill creeps instead of mining. This was too hard to balance though.

*** At early stages of development, Jaina was intended to be killed by Kel'Thuzad in Arthas's campaign, providing Arthas with additional motivation to pursue Mal'Ganis, and later to be ressurected by Arthas as banshee. However, this was scraped because it was too simular to Sarah Kerrighan's storyline from ''[[Starcraft I]]'' and, after everything Mal'Ganis did, Arthas didn't need any additional motivation. Meanwhile, the role of the first Banshee was given to Sylvanas.
