Okay, lets face it, things arent as bad as WoD got (yet) but it isnt exactly a smooth ride either- alliance got more horse mounts, azerite powers are more “meh” than artifacts, and dont get me started on the story.
So! lets have some fun and replace the BFA’s Main cast powers with stand abilities. (I couldn’t exactly find stands for everyone, so if some of you guys could help me with it it’d be great, just stick with canon stands or oc donut steel ones that are similar enough to the canon ones)
Horde
-Sylvanas: in an old thread i said how she was literally DIO and I stand (heh) by it, Sylv’s stand would totally by The World, but instead of snorkel equiptment hers would have chains and other hell/death related things. (big bads always get time powers anyway)
-Baine: ???
-Saurfang: ???
-Nathanos: Either Sex Pistols or Emperor
-Talanji: I can peg her as a Scary Monsters type of gal, at least before rastakhan made the deal with bwon
-Ghost Vol’jin: ??? (we dont know enough yet)
Alliance
Anduin: Either Crazy Diamond bc Anduin gonna Anduin OR Ticket to Ride due to his hurt bones and divine protection
Jaina: Either some version of Magician’s Red but ice instead of fire or Killer Queen, to show how OP and unstable a person she has become (flip flop, flip flop)
Genn: ???
Alleria: Cream. Very dangerous void portal that leads god knows where, Need I say more?
Malfurion (updated): Gold Experience fists given all the life/animal/healing stuff that stand can pull
Tyrande: The best i can think of is the opposite version of The Sun, meaning The Moon

Now, how would this change the plot of BFA (if at all)? Or how would this change the power dinamics (say, could saurfang have mak’gora’ed Sylv himself instead of just… sigh? and things like that)
And just so we are clear, they only have their stand powers, not their canon ones
