Lack of Male leaders in WoW

Isnt the human leader turalyon

Ehh, I mean compare his on screen garbage to Jaina, Sylv, and Tyrande, though.

There’s a clear power difference when they portray these things. Hell, look at the Tyrande/Malfurion fight on Darkshore. Malfurion is way more powerful than Tyrande, but he just turns into a bear and slaps Nathanos like a moron the whole time while Tyrande does her kamehamehas and such.

I don’t actually believe it can be done. The people who are good writers don’t care about inclusion. In my experience, inclusion is a crutch by people with absolutely no drive to create anything of true value. They never grasp even the basics of story telling or why those “tropes” that they hate so much even exist.

Debatable
Might be umbric. Kind of hard to tell.

Their leader is kiro and hes male

That’s even worse, but I was going off the past to now, and not necessarily now to DF.

I don’t think the performances of the 2 female covenant leaders were good at all. One got 1 hit KOed by anduin, and the other just walks around sad and talks some time while anduin steals from her vault unnoticed.

In the meantime The Primus after being released basically became the leader of the push against the jailer and Danathrius was being one of the best boss in the entirety of wow’s history. The guy was just savage.

Genn did beat up Sylv and ruin her plans in legion though.

Zaela was a strong, independent female leader.

Then her entire character changes and she dies in service of a Garrosh romance, so in an expansion or two, we can deal with Hellscream III. That is the very definition of the term. And it originates in the comic book world.

Dennis the menace is the best part of Shadowlands, but it probably doesn’t help those with suspicions of internal sexism that he’s the one that’s a villain in the first tier.

I don’t really linger on these things, I just acknowledge that when people bring this up, it’s not entirely unfounded.

i bet they will
get rid of the horror movies tropes we know well

It originates by a critic of the comic world who later became a writer and ruined everything she touched. She doesn’t know anything at all about good story telling, and the term is laughable and limiting.

Eh, she kicked his butt. He just broke the McGuffin she was chasing.

Rastakhan was an idiot and deserved it

While one traitor clan is lead by a male. There’s still plenty of men in highly valued positions. Like the interpreter for the one deaf Khan. Or all the oracles and hunters.

The term is quite useful, as it explains the exact situation I used it to illustrate. Your opinion of the critic is irrelevant - the term is independent now. It’s cumbersome to say, “following in the grand tradition of lazy writers killing off female characters with dramatic potential in service of the character development of a male character.”

But it was super cool.

This is such a narrow way to look at story telling. People change when their loved one’s die, I am sorry that is such a shock to people. To say “Writers aren’t allowed to kill girlfriend’s anymore because I personally think I have seen it enough,” is dumb. It’s limiting and nonsensical.

She didn’t even die in service to the evolution of his character, like you would expect with the idiotic term. She died like a bad guy usually does, she didn’t get “fridged.”

I mean, they had ample chance to kill off Sylvanis as she rightfully should have been. Yet…plot armor yet again for the “My QueEeeEEeEEEEen” crowd.

It was half cool
It looked good but no one knew what the story was. It was pretty random.

The interpreter for the deaf female Khan is the smallest man in the tribe

So? Its still a very important job
