The Arthas arch in Warcraft 3?

Rosenivy-area-52 · May 13, 2021, 8:51am

Aka medieval Darth Vader?

Zandrae-wyrmrest-accord · May 13, 2021, 8:52am

Medieval whaanican.

Rotospin-stormrage · May 13, 2021, 8:52am

Talking wotlk also not just wc3 on how he got shadowmourne

Rosenivy-area-52 · May 13, 2021, 8:52am

Fair. There is a clear difference between that version of Anakin and that ridiculously awesome hallway sequence in that other star wars movie.

That’s like concentrated hype for me lol

Zandrae-wyrmrest-accord · May 13, 2021, 8:56am

Arthas’ story only has some semblance of being good because it follows a twisted version of the monomyth.

Arthas was an insufferable whiney character in the human campaign and when he was the hero of the second act of WC3 I stopped playing back when I first got it and didn’t replay it until MoP.

It was not all that great, actually.

Rosenivy-area-52 · May 13, 2021, 8:58am

Kinda makes me glad he’s not showing up a lot in Shadowlands. Sylvanas is already hogging the story. Arthas would completely take all of it

Rotospin-stormrage · May 13, 2021, 9:00am

You would think we would encounter his soul in the maw. It’s like a Star Wars film set in
The OT and no vader involved

Zandrae-wyrmrest-accord · May 13, 2021, 9:02am

I’m glad we haven’t come across Arthas so far.

I’m enjoying Kael’thas being petulant.

Rosenivy-area-52 · May 13, 2021, 9:04am

Anyway regarding the whole Chromie thing. I can get why some lgbt don’t like this

Her representing basically because someone goofed on her name ages ago kinda diminishes it

But I don’t think the lore side of Blizz is doing this with any sort of negativity. Sometimes naive intent. But nothing with malice like “Here’s your representation now shut up”.

But again. I get why some would think that.

The Accuser treating him like a spoiled child is GREAT lol

Fezzy-draenor · May 13, 2021, 9:05am

Arthas had Frostmourne…

Zandrae-wyrmrest-accord · May 13, 2021, 9:20am

I love it.

Armada-caelestrasz · May 13, 2021, 9:47am

Can I just say a ceremony where you choose your body type and pronouns (and everyone just accepts it) sounds just wonderful. I’d like what chromie had please!

Rosenivy-area-52 · May 13, 2021, 9:56am

I dig it. Kinda bummed someone I follow on tumblr isn’t too fond of it even if they’re lgbt. But I get their reasons.

It’s just a “Aw I wanted to be hyped together” thing. It’ll pass

Rosenivy-area-52 · May 13, 2021, 11:31am

I do gotta say tho the whole dragon thing is reminding me how folks said “Wrathion walked into Stormwind with a “The hrt kicked in LOOK AT ME” attitude” and its making me giggle

Sothê-sargeras · May 13, 2021, 1:02pm

Feel free to go back out again.

Zandrae-wyrmrest-accord · May 13, 2021, 1:11pm

Can we just politely point out other real life issues in wow and suggest Hello Kitty Island Adventure to people who complain about not wanting rEaL lIfE iSsUeS iN tHeIr GaMeS.

Malgorok-zuljin · May 13, 2021, 2:28pm

I’ve never been more disappointed in a game than hello kitty adventure Island

I was expecting this game where you running around the place and do little missions for the cast, but it was just a generic dress up game

Sothê-sargeras · May 13, 2021, 2:40pm

I did that. They are able to separate the game from all of those issues. For some reason, this is the one they get hung up on. Some reason indeed.

Rosenivy-area-52 · May 13, 2021, 2:45pm

I just think of a bit from The McElroys aka why I kinda got hooked on Vengabus for awhiile

The idea of vengabus just getting louder and louder reminds me of when we first sorta bonded on the forums lol. I remember the joke of “There’s this many genders and when people complain we add one more”

I’m just in one of my sorta depressed “Lets watch bojack horseman” moods. I’m safe I’m not at any risk of harm or anything. Sometimes I just get in the mindset to watch that show. It’s both comforting and a smack of reality, ya know?
