>>715705272Warcraft has always rather been cartoonish, and those features only support it (they emote with their god damn ears and eyebrows lmao). I think that's what sets it apart from other fantasy franchises, and I wish they would lean into it some more.
On the other hand, elves feel woefully underrepresented in today's media, which is absurd because there's tons of them everywhere - but they are a far cry from the Tolkien-esque creatures we were shown in the past. Nowadays it's all just humans with pointy ears.
