    It's an incredible experience from start to finish! If that sounds like you, then you're in the right place!

This is dedicated to the beautiful stories brought forth by Blizzard Entertainment over nearly 20 years. This is also dedicated to everyone we've met in WoW, wherever they may be today.

      Yeah... it would have been one helluva badass twist to have him actually help Anduin subtly as a final act to earn his own redemption. Hell, maybe even a "second chance" in life, as he technically had seen the darkness more and longer than anyone there. He was, after all, manipulated by The Burning Legion and Sargeras. I won't even mention Jaina's facial expressions and subtle body language and sorrow in her voice. Sylvannas just shit talking him in her face and then literally killing the last of his spirit, blowing it away like it meant nothing was ridiculously painful to watch. If anyone there deserved a proper redemption arc and second chance, it was Arthas, and if anyone deserved a real break from all the misery, it was Jaina. Instead I walked away from the Shadowlands expansion bitter and unsatisfied. Kudos to Sylvannas, kudos to Anduin, to Uther and all the others, but damn dude.

      @@diamondmetal3062 There's several far more interesting ways they could have shown that:
      1. Arthas truly feels he's irredeemable and that is feeding into a vicious cycle. He could have a noble place in many of the realms, but his guilt, shame, corruption, etc. make him consign himself to the maw.
      2. His arrogance is his undoing, in controlling the Scourge. He feels he's equal to the gods of the shadowlands, and can't work towards redemption because he refuses to listen to anyone else and refuses to learn any lessons.
      3. While Terenas, Bolvar, Uther, etc. think he is capable of redemption, the Jailer subtilty feeds into his ego and insecurities.

      @graddeos Před rokem +6

      Well be that as it may, Blizzard did a good job with their retconning of certain events that it gives you the feeling it was planned all along. Like there was 0 indication that the Frozen Throne was a conduit for the Maw or that the Lich King was always controlled by Zovaal, but we always wondered why Bolvar was slowly getting corrupted by the Helm since both Nerzhul and Arthas and the Lich King entity were killed (based on the novel). Having Zovaal be the big boss behind the Lich King answers the bolvar question, even if the answer isnt satisfying to most people. We also always knew that someone was giving Sylvanas her ever growing powers, including so many resurrections from Valkyrs she couldnt possibly produce.
      Sylvanas also knew that Zovaal would end up not keeping his word and attempt to enslave her too, hence why she attempted to create her own valkyr in Legion. The more you analyze all the events since the defeat of Arthas the more the plot that blizzard wrote starts making more sense. I dont disagree that it left a bitter taste but ultimately it was revealed that she and Zovaal were working towards the ultimate fight against the Void, a fight that the denizens of Azeroth for all their wisdom and might do not understand and are unable to comprehend. Aleria even mentions it during the final council before the siege of Orgrimmar, how Sylvanas is the only one that understands how the void can be defeated. Sadly Zovaal turned out to be another bland villain with good motives but wrong methods. At least Sargeras who was literally having the same motives and same methods was a villain with proper backstory and 2 decades worth of lore.
      I just hope that when the Void finally arrives, all these plots get put to some use. Connect all the dots about what we have learnt from these villains' actions and make the final battle smthng that uses elements from those lores.

There is literally no reason for jailer to mess things up to combat things which were designed in balance with everything else and literally are the same as every other force in the verse. So either script writers didn’t get what they wrote and these Robot Builders make no sense, or you should prepare for a new Grand Pantheon of Badness. I dunno which is worse.

    A prophet, who is known for their visions concedes that Fate can be skirted to Illidan, Illidan who believes Fate influences his destiny, but works around it by rejecting Xe'ra, rejecting the influence of the Fel, and tried to break the status quo.

N'zoth was enormous and did a ton since he was fully released from his prison so he felt like an actual threat. Yogg and C'thun were tiny compared to that random demon Gul'dan summoned who killed Tirion. So much wasted potential with the Old God's.

    Illidan Stormrage is the elf with the plan, absolutely love his story line.
    edit: with all seriousness though, i really hope Blizzard expands the warcraft lore to include something like a back in time warp, or alternate timeline where the major characters they killed off like king varian and vol'jin reappearing alive and well, cause blizzard really did those two characters dirty af. They died like little wimps imo, and thats not right in my book.

      The biggest atrocity was making him Warchief, then have his only appearances in the following expansion be a speech cutscene during a Garrison upgrade, then talk about attacking Tanaan and building a shipyard.... and then next appearance, he dies following expansion. They wasted the character who quite possibly have been the best Warchief the Horde ever had

    Specially now knowing that the jailer was behind most of the previous events, they now cheapen their impact on the story and make people not care about lore anymore.

    • @MrKrissKross2010
      @MrKrissKross2010 Před 2 lety +19

      Ok so here's the Blizzard answer:
      When Arthas got dropped into the Maw the Jailer tormented his spirit, which was not the spirit of the Lich King but a "redeemed" Arthas since he was apparantly under uber super duper mind control all this time. So Zovaal (Jailer) tormented him to the point where he is reduced to a night elf's spirit wisp that looks like he died and went afk at darnassus spirit healer. At that point there was barely any sentience left in him since it was only the slightest piece of his soul that remained. So when we finally figure out his wisp is actually inside the mourneblade used to control Anduin and Anduin breaks free, he apparantly gets monologued to final death by sylvanas and then even his wisp fades.
      My personal opinion: they wrote this storyline on April's fools and thought it was a good enough prank to become canon.

      It's called Blizzard wanted to milk more money lol. Legion and Sargeras' defeat should have been the end to Warcraft/WoW. He was literally built up from Warcraft 1 until Legion. He and the Burning Legion are the reason why the Alliance and Horde (and Draenei) even came into conflict in the first place. He's the reason that Gul'Dan betrayed their people. He (was before the stupid fucking Jailer/shadowlands retcon) the reason that all the horrible shit with the Scourge and Arthas and the Lich King even happened in the first place. He orchestrated literally 95% of the conflict in the story. Then they retconned all this Old God bullshit about corrupting world souls/titans and the fucking JAILER and now the VOID is the big bad when it used to be Giant Satan/Sargeras. Blizzard will constantly keep moving the goalpost and asspulling shit to make money, kinda like another IP (looking at you Disney Lucasfilm/Star Wars). Shoulda seen the writing on the wall when most/all of the original writers for Warcraft left/were tossed, cause it's clear no one knows or cares about the old story and goes out of their way to shit on it at every opportunity.
