Dang, who knew that the Warcraft movie was going to be so … intersectional? For the first time in cinema history, orcs are not a monolith — it looks like they’ll be fully realized, well-rounded characters, instead of a slithering subhuman mass. (Hear that, Peter Jackson?) The film didn’t make much of an impact at Comic-Con, but jacking the Pocahontas/Dances With Wolves model paid off well for Avatar, so it’s possible that when this thing comes out next summer, fans will be ready to serve.
