ext_18500: My non-fandom OC Oraania. She's crazy. (Default)

The idea I got (understanding that I know very little about the original lore) was that he was studying the Fel, and that made the demon notice him, possess him, and use him to open the way for Gul'dan.

That's what I thought when I saw the movie the first time. But then I read the lore, and he was actually possessed first. Actually before he was born.

Huh, interesting.

I do know that the movie changed around things, like I got the impression from the wiki that Lothar being the queen's brother is not part of original lore, and the movie did not fast-age Khadgar in his fight with Medivh, but the situation with Medivh is unclear enough that the lore version could still hold true, but I doubt we'll ever know since he died in the movie and how likely would it ever be brought up in a sequel? I'd be more interested to see if a sequel had Med'an in it, despite me feeling the movie didn't really show enough interaction between Medivh and Garona for Med'an to not be totally left-field.

(I did go poke at the wiki a bit after I watched the movie - mostly character pages for the characters shown in the movie, and a few linked to them.)

In the movie-verse Garona is Medivh's daughter (confirmed in the novelization, also there was that story he told her of a "female of a noble race" he was in love with), so I sure hope there will be no Med'an.

Aww that is crap - I liked the information I found on Garona's page about how her belief she was half-human being wrong and she was really half-draenei but it was not obvious because all the Draenei the Orcs knew were a mutated version of the race.

Trust me, we're better off this way. This is actually one of the few lore changes that majority of people familiar with him welcomed with open arms. Med'an was so horrible and so out of the blue, peple refer to him as He Who Must Not Be Named or The Thing sometimes.

Ahh well, I guess at least Thrall (Durotan's son) may still happen in movieverse. He's bound to be an interesting story, from what I read on the wiki.

Yeah, Thrall was the coolest character, up until Blizzard decided to turn him into Green Jesus (Blizzard loves their Gary Stus). But at this point in his storyline, he's bound to be a great character and I'd love to see him.

I highly recommend the novel with his origins, it's very well written for a novel based on a game character. Christie Golden's Warcraft novels are really good.

Trust me, there's absolutely no way they'd leave Thrall's story untold if they make more films. Out of the entire Frostwolf clan (excluding Doomhammer, who was of the Blackrock clan in the games) he's the only one who matters. Durotan and Draka's only real contribution to Warcraft lore has always been having a son and dying - in fact they and their entire clan didn't even exist in lore originally. They were retconned into existence to be Thrall's backstory, and Thrall himself was only conceived of after Warcraft 2.
