Not really familiar with Warcraft, but is there a canon reason beyond fanservice as to why the Orc men look like Liefeld characters while the Orcish women look like regular, conventionally attractive humans but with pointy ears and subtly pointy teeth?
Like, were they an engineered species like in Lord of the Rings and the Discworld, with all the traits introduced with magic to make them supersoldiers being on the Y chromosone or something, so the women are closer to their original human-ish/Elfy ancestor? …If so, the culture of these folk could be interesting, in the sense that they were created for a specific purpose and have been left to their devices for possibly hundreds of years. Would they have a religion based around their creators, what are gender roles like in this society, are women discouraged from being involved in fighting or are they on a more even footing than their human counterparts in this area? etc.
Or is this one of those situations where we’re not meant to think about it due to stuff like this just being set dressing in the genre. Like how everyone’s problems can almost always be solved with a different monarch, rather than just setting up a democracy or some sort.
I like my abandoned race of sentient supersoldiers idea more personally. Would explain why Orcs go around fighting everyone (it being what they were literally made to do originally) without getting into that vaguely racist ”Barbarian race“ trope (like the Dothraki).
Oh man, I didn’t know it was this bad.
That looks..yikes.
Well, Orc women don’t look like that, Garona was half orc, half human (I think it was human!), so she has the features of a human female as well!
And if you don’t think the male orc is attractive, I’ve got a whole side of the fandom that’d probably like to have a word with you!
Just my two cents though!
Half Orc and Half Draenei. Which… Draenei women were pretty curvy.
when people who aren’t familiar with warcraft try to talk shit about warcraft and just wind up being shot down
If she’s half draenei why no crest, horns, hooves, tail, tentacles, or anything resembling a draenei tho??
lazy as fuuuuuuck
ok further point, that green dude I posted before is Med’an. His parents are Medivh (Human) and Garona (Half Orc/half Draenei). Literally her son, a QUARTER DRAENEI, looks MORE DRAENEI than her. :(
I mean female characters getting shafted model wise isn’t new in warcraft.
Like female Taunka are just reused Tauren for example.
So when I heard Garona being in a movie, I was hype because hey, they can push the design since its not a game model! Female Draenei have sharp teeth, crests, and some other neat designs–like I dunno–
that’d be neat, I’d think, but I know not likely. And even then, other official art of her is more like:
She is one of the most well known rogues/assassins the in warcraft universe, so that’s one of the main reason when I saw that lax presenting pose in the poster, my kneejerk reaction was “what the actual fuck.”
