Spoiler - How did Nathanos Blightcaller survive?

Sarendann-farstriders · December 12, 2018, 5:06am

So I just finished the new Tyrande quest line, and I just wanted to ask, genuinely, HOW DID NATHANOS BLIGHTCALLER SURVIVE? He literally just fought against the incarnation of the vengeance of Elune, and he escaped, even if a bit beaten up? I just don’t get it. Is there some kind of lore reason behind it? Is he more than just another forsaken with a bow? What is this?

Plot Armour, it’s all Horde Leaders have left against the Alliance god heroes.

Lithya-sargeras · December 12, 2018, 5:07am

If you had any idea how bad it actually was before the changes were made.

But yeah, Horde heroes get inexplicable powerups and chances.
I loved how silently both Malfurion waited until they made their escape.

RIVETING.

Cause anime levels of plot armor

Sylvanas fan boys protected him. For real. I think that they eventually want to kill him, but can’t. If sylvanas or any of her lackies get hurt or dies, they start crying and complaining.

You can just tell that they wanted to kill him by Tyrande, but couldn’t.

Blizzard just can’t win.

How does a self-insert character of the story devs survive a story they write for the behest of the faction they prefer? Iunno, magic or something.

Arshia-alexstrasza · December 12, 2018, 5:10am

Sure they can, they can mine salt from Forsaken players like they did when WotF was nerfed in Wrath.

Nathanos, the mighty and allpowerful god that he is, can not be brought to his end by Tyrande’s paltry efforts

We all live and die at his behest, Nathanos is endless, Nathanos is eternal.
Foolish of you to believe that this ‘night warrior’ a mere servant of a lesser god, could put an end to Nathanos’ glorious reign.

Somebody has to father Sylvanas’ undead babies.

Dreadmoon-saurfang · December 12, 2018, 5:12am

There are times Nathanos reminds me of Black Adder

Randolthor-stormrage · December 12, 2018, 5:13am

Eventually, there will be a Scooby Doo-like reveal where Nathanos takes off his mask and we find out he has actually been Elune all this time.

Swiftraven-moon-guard · December 12, 2018, 5:14am

You better delete this before blizzard finds out you have spoiled the end of BFA

Arshia-alexstrasza · December 12, 2018, 5:14am

He’s acerbic but he’s not funny like Black Adder.

Raelhorn-ravencrest · December 12, 2018, 5:15am

And so Brave Sir Nathanos bravely ran away!
He bravely ran away, away!
Brave Sir Nathanos bravely ran away!

Rea-llane · December 12, 2018, 5:15am

I’m not a fan of the story so far… but how is Nathanos a self-insert character when he’s been around since the beginning (of WoW) and given backstory that predates the Second War?

It isn’t like he is one of the Void Elves, who were pulled out of thin air for reasons…

Licelmine-amanthul · December 12, 2018, 5:15am

I think it would require Illidan, Tyrande and Malf to beat Nathanos, 2 is just not enough.

Lithya-sargeras · December 12, 2018, 5:16am

You don’t want to open that can of worms.
Trust me.

PLUR

Swiftraven-moon-guard · December 12, 2018, 5:17am

No force on the face of our planet Azeroth could put down Nathanos he is too powerful

He shall meet his demise when he sees fit to muse us by playing dead

Arshia-alexstrasza · December 12, 2018, 5:18am

Ever since Nathanos got his face lift he’s been a self-insert of one of the devs, the one who wrote the story about him getting his facelift, and that dev is a diehard forsaken fan. Go figure we have stories like this Darkshore crud with him at the helm.
