Blizzard retconned Garrosh VS Thrall Mak'gora

You don’t need to.
You just need to educate yourself.

What is the meaning of contextualize?

contextualize
/kən-tĕks′choo͞-ə-līz″/
transitive verb
  1. To place (a word or idea, for example) in a particular context.

Let’s make it more interactive. If this is the definition of contextualize, what would be the definition of recontextualize?

Let’s get to the end of this together.

One of us will have to stand corrected.

You’re arguing with yourself at this point, I explained everything you’re trying to argue already.

Well, I was arguing with you but it is good that you have seen that you were wrong, too bad you don’t have enough maturity to stand corrected and say you were sorry.

Hate to break it to you but that team has been long gone, which is why nobody brought it up them in the draft room

They aren’t wrong. They’re just done trying to teach a manchild.

Oh… so you’re that kind of people.

Oh yes. Do tell what you mean there. I can’t wait to see THAT comment. Please, show the world what kind of person you are.

Do you even know my biological sex, let alone my gender?

WHAT?

What does it has to do with anything???

I was more mildly annoyed than offended. I mean, I appreciate all the help I can get, but Yrel and I were beating Garry like a rented mule when Thrall showed up.

They has been accepted as a gender agnostic pronoun since long before any of us were born, and saw such use before automobiles were invented. You’re not slick.

So garrosh lost fair and square because he thought he could zug zug a shaman without interrupting…

Nothing to see here, the outcome was known long ago…

:dracthyr_tea:

I’m sorry. English for me they means 3rd person on plural, that is, he said that many people were weren’t wrong and trying to “act superior” (or teaching by his manners) by his/her/whatever manners.

And it was literally just you and me arguing, of course with this 3rd party trying to get along.

He would’ve won. He had Thrall disarmed and on the ground, but he was crying to Thrall, like he wanted Thrall to say he was sorry.

Thrall sent him some sorry bolts.

Go ahead. Ask Chat GPT about its use as a singular pronoun.

You sure English is your first language? I’m starting to think you lied about that. They is both a singular and a plural. So go ahead and go off, but once again you are wrong, but I already know you are going to double down and show us just how wrong you can be.

Not really. Let me explain

In WC3, via the manual it is stated that the Titans chained five Old Gods during the Ordering of Azeroth. While it is true that Chronicles vol 1 did change this from 5 to four. At the same time, we got an ‘outlandish in game theory’ that Xal’atath (the entity) might be an Old God that was defeated by her kin and bound to the dagger as a result. However, Chronicles vol 1 never stated how many Old Gods landed on Azeroth. Meaning that the following could have happened. 5 Old Gods did land on Azeroth and at some point prior to the Titans arriving, one of those Old Gods was killed by the other four. Those four being (in order of appearance), C’thun, Yogg-saron, Y’shaarj and N’zoth. Chronicles vol 4 seems to support this theory. Saying that N’zoth was one of five that ruled during the era of the Black Empire, but the Titans only imprisoned four. Although one could also view it as the Titans intentionally leaving a fifth one free but then Magni says at the end of BFA that all of Azeroths Old Gods are dead. Something vol 4 reinforces. G’huun is still an experiment that went wrong. An Old God in name only basically.

Now back to the WC3 manual. Most of the lore passages in the manual made it in game as small books we can interact with and read. The passage, "The Old Gods and the Ordering of Azeroth’ is no exception. In Dragonflight, we find an annotated version of this book. The annotator makes a claim that whoever wrote the book is biased towards the titans but weirdly enough, does not point out the inconsistency of the Titans imprisoned five Old Gods and not four. So according to the annotator (most likely Deathwing himself), we have one source of titan biased media (the WC3 manual by extension) as being from the titans pov, but also the Chronicles volumes. Both of which are in conflict over how many Old Gods were imprisoned.

And this is the problem of making objective lore books into subjective ones on a whim.

Movies are dangerous things.

For many of us, that was our first introduction to the concept of a Mak’gora and will forever define them in our eyes.

Did you ask chatGPT how wrong you were about this or not.

I’m still waiting for you to tell me what recontextualization means and what was recontextualized…

Tip: Re-…

No, I don’t waste my time relying on crowdsourced information.
