They’ll just do what they did with Yrel. “Timeskip! Attitude changed over the time you’ve been gone. Now it’s LUX VULT OR NOTHING”

It happened to so many characters who were hero’s of the horde.
Also didn’t he lead a campaign of aggression when the orcs were trying to open portals to other worlds and escape Draenor?

That’s because the historical Horde was made up entirely of villains.

One side’s Hero is the other side’s Villain.
Not in this franchise anymore … thats for sure. One sides hero is the other side’s hero, and that same sides villain are also their own villain.

Well, that comes when there isn’t only two sides with more powers at play.
And from one faction forced into being proactive, while allowed no motivations to do so. While the other faction allowed all the motivations, can’t be allowed to act on them. Which means inherently, the Faction forced to act in such a way without any reason to do so is just the villain period. And a plot-device…

CAVE ALL HUMANS SKULLS IN WITH THE VILLAIN BAT!
REDUCE THE AZEROTH HUMAN POPULATION TO ORC FATIGUE LEVELS!
Please Blizzard, I want Dwarves to be the face of the Alliance. Much like the trolls did.

Honestly, if the High King position “needs” to exist, my vote is still for Muradin. The best of the Bronzebeard siblings, yet the one with the least focus or attention.
At least the Alliance being human dominated is reflected in its player population. When does Silvermoon become the new capital of the Horde?

You know who is really needs to be the commander under Turalyon who’ll really push the extremist angle?
Eligor Dawnbringer.
He’s already a Light Fanatic who, back in Strathholme expressed his hatred for the undead. Same with Korfax, actually.
We don’t need Turalyon to fall to the zealotry of the Light when we already have the Brotherhood of the Light. We have the Characters in game. We should use them.

Hating undead is the kind of thing that every race other than the Forsaken would generally agree with (and even then the Forsaken seem to have no problem killing large amounts of undead when it suits them)
That’s why the Scarlets had to go the extra mile and be xenophobic against literally anyone who wasn’t them in order to be a proper villain faction. You can’t have a villain whose crime is doing the same thing that we do for the same reasons.
The fact is, we already had the “light-zealot villain faction” and it was the Scarlet Crusade. They’re gone now, stop trying to resurrect them with a different coat of paint. They had become boring and stale to fight even before Vanilla was over.

Yes but very few would consider you an enemy if you stood in their way. This is what the Scarlets had and the Brotherhood still have.
The Brotherhood of the Light doesn’t even really have any opportunity now to attack the Forsaken anyway unless they were going to somehow attack Orgrimmar. The Forsaken are largely gone from the Eastern Kingdoms (and so is most of the Scourge for that matter) and as such there isn’t really much reason (or means) for anyone to attack them now.
No but they could be the one’s who’s spearheading the push into Lordaeron.
They’ve retaken Strathholme and Tyr’s hand. And with the Undead still a problem on Azeroth (even more now then they had been since Cata), Tirasfal would be a hotbed of undead activity now that the Forsaken are no longer there to keep them in check.
Don’t joke about that, ugh.

Okay, but who would have a problem with them killing mindless undead in Tirisfal?
The Forsaken would have a problem if they’re using that a pretext to retaking Lordaeron, which maybe wouldn’t be the Brotherhood’s goal but that isn’t to say the Nobles wouldn’t be pushing the Alliance into helping them for that reason.
So this would bring the Brotherhood into direct conflict with the Horde.
This just means they’d be in conflict with the Horde, not that they’d be villainous.
Especially since in this scenario they aren’t even fighting the Forsaken, they’re fighting non-Forsaken undead (many of which would have been raised by Sylvanas herself at the Battle of Lordaeron anyway) in territory that the Horde doesn’t even control anymore.
If anything, if the Horde has a problem with that it’d make the Horde look way worse than the Brotherhood of the Light. It’d be like the Horde having a problem with the Alliance clearing out the undead in Duskwood.
I never said they’d be the “Villains.” Only that they’ll fit into the Extremist angle that the Light would lead.
And canonically, the Forsaken still controls Tirasfal. They just don’t control the City.
Not if it’s more of a political angle, with the powers using the Brotherhood as a means to an end.
