One thing I love and still love about Blizzard Entertainment is its portrayal of orcs. They were the first that portrayed Orcs as not just monsters who want death and destruction but as people. Warcraft is what made me love orcs not LotR or any other franchise.pic.twitter.com/M1yszGDpzb

Yes, I know some of those too, but that wasn't the intent. I would go so far as to say Warcraft style orcs are way more common than LotR ones- other than LotR, how many franchises have Orcs as the unequivocal bad guys? I don't just mean opposing forces, actual evil dudes
Warcraft was one of the first franchises to make Orcs the good guys. If there is one that did it before them it must've been pretty obscure.

I had to look it up on the quick so I'm far from expert, but apparently Orc was added as a playable race to D&D in 1988. Admittedly, they were made out to be... pretty stupid, and uncivilized- but not really evil. They had cities, religion, engineering... made their own way

But let's be honest. Warcraft 1 wasn't doing the Orc stereotype any favors either.
