* TheHorde: Very close to a straight example of its namesake when it follows EvilSorcerer Gul'dan to brutally conquer Azeroth, but Durotan sows seeds of change, first by not joining in the pillages then by questionning and finally openly defying Gul'dan's rule.

to:

* TheClan: The Orcish Horde is an alliance of clans. The ones prominently featured in the film are the Frostwolf clan (Durotan's) and the Blackrock clan (Blackhand's). In the games, Grommash Hellscream is the leader of the Warsong clan and Gul'dan came from the Shadowmoon clan.

* OurOrcsAreDifferent: There's a reason the second kind of orcs is nicknamed "Blizzard-style". Orcs are shown having human-like qualities (like being GoodParents), a strong sense of honor and some of them prefer listening to reason than obeying evil leaders.

* TheAlliance: The end of the film shows the creation of the Alliance between the human kingdoms, the dwarves of Ironforge and the high elves of Quel'Thalas to prepare for a larger scale conflict against the Orcish Horde following [[spoiler:King Llane Wrynn's death]]. Only the human kingdom of Stormwind faced the Orcs up to this point.

* AnimalMotifs: The lion is the symbol of Stormwind and features heavily on the human side of the story, as the actual Alliance is not formed until the end of the movie.



* WorthyOpponent: To Blackhand, [[spoiler:and eventually the entire orc race]]. Blackhand states early on that there is no challenge in humanity, which might be why he takes such an interest in Lothar after Lothar cripples him in battle. At the end Blackhand convinces the other orcs to let him fight Lothar one on one in ritual combat rather than kill him outright. [[spoiler:After Lothar wins (easily) the other orcs are united in respect for his prowess, allowing him his mount and the body of his king.]]

* BaldOfAwesome: Unlike his game counterpart who is depicted with braided hair, this version of Doomhammer has a shaven head.



* KungFuWizard: When Durotan challenges him to ''Mak'Gora'', Gul'dan obliges. [[spoiler: He took off his robe and stood up to his full height, and he's ''ripped.'' And he gives quite a good unarmed beating to Durotan, as far as spellcasters go.]]

* NobleDemon: For all the BlueAndOrangeMorality involved, Blackhand genuinely believes in his people's traditions, and will always respect them. As such, he [[spoiler:refuses to help Gul'dan during his Mak'gora with Durotan]], and [[spoiler:gives Lothar a chance to defeat him in a fair fight when he could have easily let his warriors kill him]].

* DemotedToExtra: He was a pretty major character in the game, where he was one of the first to receive the corruption willingly. None of this is mentioned in the movie, and he gets little more than cameos. Granted, he might get a bigger role in a potential sequel.
