How much Validity is there in comparing WARCRAFT . . .

Rating: 8/10 (14 June 2016)

. . . to our current Real Life World Geopolitical Scene? "Two worlds. One home." is among the tag-lines promoting WARCRAFT. Many of my friends, particularly the military ones, equate WARCRAFT's Orcs with Jihadis when they play or discuss WARCRAFT. They point out that the Orcs amputate limbs in punishment for infractions, just as happens daily in the Jihadi third of the Real World. Orc factions constantly are in armed conflict with one another. Sound familiar? Of course it does, at least to them. The Orc clans share a love for Stone Age rituals, and the destruction of any bulwarks of more advanced Civilizations, just as the Jihadis razed Palmyra, Ninevah, and blew up the planet's largest statues and other World Wonders (not to mention the Pride of Japanese Architecture, New York City's World Trade Center). Orc warfare is often one-sided hands-on terror waged against comparatively defenseless humans, just as Jihadis are most infamous for beheading bound captives. It seems that WARCRAFT may well be plagiarized from Today's Headlines.
