“'Where are your friends? Hiding in the mountains? Beer swilling cowards. Do they not know that the dark is our realm? The grave our throne?”
I was joking around but now that I think about it, I ship it
If I could grab Calia and bring her into the alliance, I would. Oh well, we’ll see how that story unfolds.

I feel confident when I say not a single Horde fan would try to stop you.

And sometimes drastic changes are poorly done and the emotion isn’t a fulfilling narrative but a bad, cheap one.
Everything the rebels fought for being essentially undone before the start of the new Star Wars is sad, but not for some well done writing.

Unfortunately after the Battle of Lordaeron Forsaken morale would collapse the moment they saw a single spider tank.
All their girlfriends are goth. They’re a very happy and fierce people.
It’s okay, the forsaken like spiders.
I’ve decided it’s canon that Lor’Themar read sappy love poetry to Sylvanas in an attempt to ask her out despite Romath’s pleading, and the Grand Magister heroically casted invisibility and left his boy to drown on dry land.
Brightwing said he thought it was pretty good and you’re bigger than that witch anyway to the tear streaked, heart broken future Regent Lord of Quel’Thalas.
Would explain why he’s so prickly about Nathanos.

Is that why they ran straight into the Alliance’s overlapping lines of gunfire at the Siege of Lordaeron? They were confused by the spider tanks?
I’m not going to take lectures on strategy from people who live on wood and don’t know what a fire escape plan is.

Imagine playing a game that overwhelmingly uses “what seems cool/fitting for whatever emotion we want at the moment” over things like sensible strategy and plausible military campaign logistics and trying to use that as a forum bludgeoning tool against the other faction, lest we all forget “Lets try to force a king to surrender after murdering our way through and ransacking the place when there is an army that can come back and fight us when we could have just blown up his ships and some other places and just make them not that useful to the Horde anymore. We also expect them to not join the Horde after we murder their king but put little effort in assassinating the princess that wanted their help to begin with”.

I can’t envision a strategic mind that would have formed a plan with an idea in mind of an omnipotent malevolent god changing anything and everything there was to change in order to force a certain outcome.
Including physics. Recall that the fire did not simply catch. The thing went up like a dead tree in the middle of death valley after it had been soaked in gasoline - and given the scale of Teldrassil, even that doesn’t describe the speed with which fires - somehow spread from burning rocks as they impacted perpendicularly with walls of bark - went from the impact point to engulfing the whole tree.

I mean I agree. I’ve rambled at length about how absurd it is. I literally had trouble starting a fire two nights ago because just being in the general vicinity of Lake Michigan makes the air wet sometimes. So the idea a tree the size of Massachusetts got lit as fast as a college freshman is ridiculous claptrap.
Yes.
Which makes it just as ridiculous to blame the Night Elves for not predicting Blizzard’s crap.
I mean I’m just having fun here. That’s like lecturing poor Daffy here for not being able to predict the pencil or brush.

My favorite is portraying Jaina as so powerful as to be able to have her magic ship to take down city walls, but somehow not just winning tons of battles singlehandedly with such power after that. Its almost like there is a spaceship that was used to put a huge hole in a fortified wall that could have been used there. Then they could have used the fact that Blood Elves can apparently bring such things down to say that a bunch of Horde mages that know its coming requires being careful with it, also azerite enhanced Goblin rockets posing a threat.

Seriously why do we even bother? Just have Jania sort this ish out with the SS Disbelief.
Like I couldn’t even be mad. Girl turned up with the literal flying Dutchman and purple magic cannons. I ain’t supposed to take this seriously.

Again wondering why they tried to write us some War and Peace rather than King Kong vs. Godzilla.
Half the fun of fantasy war stories is the ridiculous nonsense both sides come up with. It’s almost like they don’t want anybody to be happy with their race or faction with the exception of MHPs.

Fun movie BTW.

That’s the idea. Should it matter if Tauren shamans vying against the Wildhammer for control of the weather makes sense? Or should everyone just get to enjoy the fact that the battle is happening in a crushing thunderstorm? Should we be engaged in a nitty-gritty debate about whether Worgen have tails or how delicate the Forsaken are, or should we enjoy them having a fang-and-claw battle in a forest in a downpour? You get the idea.
Blizzard sucks at writing Broadway, so, don’t ask them to write Broadway. Let them write WWE instead.
