    The Pandaren had arguably suffered the most because Garrosh had no justification to call military action upon them... At least with Theramore or ashenvale he was somewhat justified because those two were actual threats to his people..... But with Pandaria, from the moment he showed up; he invaded, pillaged and plundered.... With absolutely no justification or pretense...

    Well that's the point, they keep having to unite against threats, yet are so childish that they immediately sink back into conflict again. He's right, the Alliance and the Horde constantly fight for no reason beyond revenge or retaliation, revenge being the number one motivator of evil in the world. Hell, revenge is so powerful a motivator of evil that it caused even him to turn into a Sha.

  • @SuperKneehow
    @SuperKneehow Před 10 lety +16

    I think the fact he has such a bystanders viewpoint on the conflict from the horde and the alliance makes him a well written character. He hasn't experienced the things you mentioned so he became bitter over the conflict the horde and alliance had on pandaria. Same goes for him saying pandarians suffered the most. he's bitter, angry, and never experienced such a grand conflict. after everything he saw happen to his people how could he possibly imagine worse things happening to the rest of the world? also from the perspective of the pandarians, the conflict is much worse since it's their first time witnessing such atrocities. you can almost think of it as tainting their souls for the first time while the races of the alliance and horde were born with tainted souls from their eternal conflict.

    @OnlyRoke Před 9 lety +33

    Well.. Taran Zu thinks that his people suffered the most because they had nothing to do with the Alliance and Horde conflict. We came to their land and fucked everything up. The Pandaren were innocent so to speak. They were caught in the crossfire of a war AND were in the way of Garroshs crusade. That's why Pandaren suffered the most. They weren't willingly allies of anyone. Sure Alliance lost Theramore and Rhonin and Horde lost Cairne but still.. they fueled the conflict between each other.

    • @Reeepaaa
      @Reeepaaa Před 9 lety +2

      The Pandaren live on Azeroth too, its their job to make sure it stays safe from things like the Legion. The invasion of the outside races was a brutal awakening for the Pandaren but it was one that was inevitable.

  • @bengrogan9710
    @bengrogan9710 Před 9 lety +39

    Nobbel87 To add a Little to the premise of Taran Zhu saying "My people more than any other"
    The Vale of Eternal Blossoms is a holy area for The Pandaren, and it has been destroyed, both by the Horde's strip mining and by the Emergence of the Heart of the Old God.
    The Karsarang Wilds Deforested for Fortresses, The Temple in the Wilds lost to the Sha
    The Statue for Yu'lons Rebirth Destroyed
    The Return of the Sha and the Waking of the Mantid was triggered by the Aggressive way in which the Horde landed and fought the Alliance lead to Thousands of Pandaren supposedly dying defending the wall, If Garrosh was leading the horde then tensions would not have been so high between the Horde and Alliance, likely the Sha wouldn't have awoken.
    The Thunder King's return is the only thing in the entire Expansion that I can't be said in some way, Directly or indirectly was caused by Garrosh

Destroyed forests, decimated entire Pandaren towns, destroyed ancient landmarks, stole and used an ancient sha weapon, the list goes on. Garrosh did more damage to Pandaria than enemies like the Sha, Mantid, and Mogu did over thousands of years.

    A bit of correction Nobble, Yaungol didn't exists before the Sundering. As Lorewalker Cho explains, a group of tauren were in Pandaria during that time and since they were cut off from the mainland, they were forced to adapt to the harsh environment and that's where the 10000 yrs of evolution comes in.

    I agree with your statement on Taran Zhu about him putting to much blame on Garrosh who only really acted in blowing up a small piece of land killing a few hundred in the process. Deathwing is really to blame; for he was what revealed there island in the first place.

    • @bobtomism
      @bobtomism Před 9 lety +18

      I don't think you understand. That small piece of land wasn't just some little garden the pandaren whipped on a free weekend. It was litterally the HEART of Pandaria that Garrosh corrupted with the heart of an old god. If the Adventurers(aka us)had not purified the water elemental Immersus, the corrupted waters would spread throughout Pandaria, killing crops and life all around it, utterly destroying life on the whole continent. Taran Zhu was a bit annoying but he had his reasons for not trusting a bunch of strange looking people bringing their blood feud into their land.

    @willdufifie3750 Před 9 lety +5

    I like taran zhu, and i totally get him, these strangers come in and screwed up his home so i completely get why he's mad. And the fact that he is an outsider to the war is why i think hes perfect to get them to chill out, he gets to view the conflict from a 3rd party perspective and does not see simply 1 side or the other, and personally being the 3rd party and understand that feeling of responsibility to try and get everyone to just chill the fuck out when he had them walk away. Plus while only a small fraction of the continent was damaged that's only because the heroes where able to take control of the situation and contain it before it got out of hand. If it weren't for them all of Pandaria might have been destroyed. So what im saying is i get why he said "none so more then my people" or something like that. Plus with Pandaria being neutral from both the horde and alliance it makes them perfect for them to hold the trial. Plus not to mention there emotions where literally causing havoc due to the Sha so at that can be a pretty big motivator to get everyone to calm down and stop fighting.

  • @kireiamejin8106
    @kireiamejin8106 Před 9 lety +5

    It doesn't matter that Taran doesn't know exactly the reasons why these 2 factions are still in war, he's right when saying they are like children, all the time the war has been prolonged by individuals in serch of power (Gul'dan, Garrosh, etc...), people that seek vengance (Proudmore), armies that won't forgive not forget even if it would do for the greater good, even if most of the time the individuals that prolonged this conflict were just looking for their own personal benefit and most often than not are not supported by their own "Factions" later on, they are so blinded by this stupid war that they keep looking for culprits of the first war, when it is so clear that it was the Burning legion's fault, not orcs nor humans nor any other race of the 2 factions.
    I completely agree with his way of seeing this war, and the way this individuals react to each other faction's actions, it is been prolonged way too long without any good reason, its been a while since i myself started to think that this ridiculous war has come to a point that simply has to end if the races of Azeroth are to survive the real threat of the world, and stop playing their little war games in search for a solution to the greater problems of the world.

    Nobbel you are completly right about Taran Zhu,he just seem arrogant and ungrateful and even a bit racist,that line where he said his people suffered the most was really stupid,Garrosh commited genocide on the trolls and after destroying Theramor he made the survivors fight or he will kill his chilldren,the pandarens just lost a vale that they didn't had before we came,they get saved from a the Thunderking and the mantid and we removed the Sha completly from Pandaria(not including the vale).Although I will admit your voice acting of him made him more likeable as a character.

    • @War3pl
      @War3pl Před 10 lety +4

      Keep in mind Garrosh did not only killed some pandaren (willingly or not by corrupting Vale) , corrupted their most sacred place of ancestors (Vale), and also awakened last sha. This is damage Taran is talking about. Imagine that Ironforge gets plundered like Vale, or Darnasus and Nordrassil. Its same scale for Pandaren. If u followed storyline, pandaren were ALLOWED to enter Vale not long ago (questline to get there was required and showed pandas getting into AFTER celestials agreed to open gates).
      Taran WAS racist to some point at least , nothing said about how is it after siege, but his racism was connected to his plea to defend pandaren from sha and mogu. Sha was awakened and left raging by feelings Horde and Aliance brough to Pandaria so he had to do something with it, pointing his anger towards cause of it which was us. We just made bad first impresion on him.

    • @olavlomeland2183
      @olavlomeland2183 Před 10 lety +1

      Valley of the Four Winds became an warzone (an Battleground) that likely destroyed alot of the food, a fair load of Pandaren took Alliance or Horde side (initial Kun-lai Summit least), Garroshs warfare also in Taran Zhus eyes wrecked several areas like the Red Crane and Jade Serpents holy temples, it wasent just the Valley of Eternal Blossom.

    • @Cptigris125
      @Cptigris125 Před 10 lety +1

      You have to admit, we didn't leave the best of first impressions with him, so in his position how would you have reacted to the mess we made? All those problems you listed off that we solved, we also CAUSED in the first place. It wasn't unreasonable for him to be angry, which makes it unreasonable to hate him for it if that's the case. And it's not like he didn't TRY to negotiate or give us a chance either.

    • @Arcantropolo

      @name7251 Před 10 lety

      Cptigris125 We didn't caused all the problems we stopped,even if we didn't reached Pandaria the zandalari would still do and because of that the Pandaren would become slaves to the mogu again,and I admit we did some damage in Pandaria but it would be worse without is,and surely his people did not suffered the most.

      Another thing to remember is the Horde is very young and is mainly made of people from another world. Everything on Pandaria was "native" to the place. Given how little seems to be known about the sha of pride you have to wonder if it doesn't have some influence on the Shadow-Pan

Playing WoW for 11 years now, the game leaves a lot of gaps and holes, and you fill in these. I'm sure its a lot of work and prep trying to get all this info together, so thanks for your work, it is enjoyed by myself and many others.

      You have to look at it from their view. The Alliance and Horde showed up upon their shores in battle and continued to do so throughout. They're not going to consider them being decent people if all they know is that they're in constant conflict against one another.

I mean, sure, we had farms and weird shit like that, but there was so much to do and it wasn't tedious (if that's even how you spell it), the dailies were fun, we had a lot to learn from the story, there were a lot of interesting characters, Cho was boring as fuck but I still loved him, and the raids were pretty simple but a lot more enjoyable than the fights in Draenor, imo. Plus, Challenge mode.

    The reason why Tarren said that the pandas suffered more is because he has a daughter. She was like "Daddy I want you to meet Garrosh" and he was all"No daughter of mine is gonna screw an Orc." Then Garrosh wanted to give her the heart but Tarren said "aw hell naw" and pushed Garrosh into the chest which tipped it over into the pools Garrish then said "Goddamit" and went home. Tarren was found and said it was Garrosh's fault. We then went and Garrosh said "Hey guys I found it" but we kicked the crap out of him. Pissed he went to spend the weekend at his dad's house and we come and kick his ass again. Opps running out of charrac

      Thing is, if you look at WoW, they have taken many aspects of other things. There is an character even named Harrison Johns. Clearly ref to Harrison Ford playing Indiana Johns. Then a Titan named close to Thor iirc and two Titan watchers from Wrath based very close on Loki and Thor. It's normal, I wouldn't expect too much.

      no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the

      burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that
      wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge

    I had those same thoughts when Zhu said Garrosh hurt the Pandaren worse than anyone. I mean its not like Garrosh was just introduced this expansion to fuck over Pandaria you know? We have been dealing with his shit for years, not only his hatred for the Alliance but the internal conflict we of the Horde had to deal with the second he took over as Warchief. So Im gonna call Zhu on his bullshit there and have Cho read the laundry list of things he's done to us.

    • @Cptigris125
      @Cptigris125 Před 10 lety +3

      To Zhu's defense, his people were uninvolved and neutral in this conflict, and Hellscream proceeded to throw that aside and involve them in a war not of their choice or making.

    • @ceiferthegamer
      @ceiferthegamer Před 10 lety +8

      he undid ten thousand years of work that the pandarian did. cut pandaria in half between horde support and alliance support, dwindled the number of shadopan, and destroyed the key religious location of all of the pandaran. garrosh never destroyed say the world tree, or the temple of light in stormwind. the entire pandarian culture was flipped upside down and ripped apart. none of the other races can say that. yeah a lot of damage was done to the other races, but almost all of pandaria was lost to the sha, or the mantid when they were under the sha of fear. none of the other races can say that stuff in that level

      ceiferthegamer still though, in Garroshs' eyes, he thought his father was a coward going to the aid of the demon blood, but when you look at it garrosh is basically doing the exact thing his father did. They both saw a hurdle and tried to get power through other means, both thought they could control it when in fact they didn't (Fully control it).
