Not almost all. They lost a lot of people yes, but not all. And anyways, a lot of others died too.
Yes because that Malfurion Cinematic and the extensive history of Malfurion being a total and utter bad*** is just nonexistent.
Also the Night Warrior no longer exists just because.
That’s what I like to call bull crap. You’re getting a lot of attention in Shadowlands. You can’t really talk when there are other races getting totally ignored.
But the entire point of Shadowlands is that they will be set free. Do I really need to tell you this again until you just give up and leave the thread?
And yet Malfurion and Tyrande could barely handle Nathanos.
“They got their revenge in 8.1”
Nowhere is that confirmed nor is it likely because again, not only would it be good for the Night Elves, but it would also be bad for the horde if the night elf souls get freed (because it undoes their efforts).
The last time i checked, Darkshore was still a lame battle ground that put people to sleep.
It was confirmed it was genocide, and if you ever even played a night elf, you would know that in the intro it states they are already on the brink of extinction. So keep whatever head cannon you have, but its wrong. There are virtually no NE left.
If those two are so badass (and canonically they are) how about explaining BS on the Beach starring Nat & the Girls?
Considering Malfurion is one of the canonically most powerful NPCs on Azeroth and Tyrande is currently the living avatar of a God’s wrath (who curb-stomped the entire Horde force there so fast that we are barely able to get a shot off), how should that fight against a juiced undead ranger and two Val’kyr (who 5-mans treat as nothning more than speed bumps on their way to Odyn) have turned out any other way than:
“They’re mine!” - Tyrande
“Let me help.” - Malfurion
“No, and you…Champion…stay out of this as well!” - Tyrande
“But my love…”- Malfurion
“Hush Malfurion…and boy have I been waiting a long time to say that!” - Tyrande
“But…” Malfurion
“Fine, you and our sidekick go deal with the Val’kyr but Nathanos is MINE” - Tyrande
Roll cutscene where Malfurion rips the wings off the Val’kyr like wings off a fly while Tyrande reduces Nathanos to a smoldering pile of ash on the beach.
But no…Nat & the Girls get Overwrought Plot Armor of the Self-Insert Dev™ and we get “our vengeance”.
Those are what we call “outposts”…they aren’t where the majority of your population lives.
Also, three out of five of my mains are night elves. Take your “human male paladin” garbage else where. Not going to invalidate anyone’s logical points.
We have a kingdom so huge that it hasnt been presented yet. I mean look at our AI the mechagnomes. We shall see who is still standing in the end! Tripod out.
I honestly expected more from Night Elves fighting back. I’m surprised they got so badly beaten and the tree burned down after they got it blessed and fixed up for the most part. That and I’m also disappointed that the Alliance didn’t stand up for them more. Really a shame.
That said, they’re still knife ears like the rest of the elves drinking water they call alcohol…hic!
But they won a defensive war out of camera to settle for that, right?
That is the argument that wields the horde to prevent the NE and the Alliance from getting revenge and time in camera.
But in SL will we get what?
answers, nothing more than we are allowed revenge, it is frustrating the
laziness of writers and DEVs when it comes to the Alliance or the Night Elves that are not half demons.
An opportunity to tell a better story about giving the Alliance a dark side was wasted.
If the Alliance had done really horrible things in pursuit of revenge, perhaps this peace would not be so unpleasant.
We had to share blows of the villain bat.
It would not have even changed the outcome, in fact it would have been more natural for Sylvanas to simply take advantage of the nature of the Horde and the Alliance.
He would also have given Anduin and Fang more points.
