Jeez man, how long has this story thread been going on? WOTLK? At this point, we might as well just make all the titans raid bosses and be done with it. I just finished another of the “Archive” quests and it’s just more, “Titans did this evil stuff blah blah blah” and I’m like… why are you all acting so surprised? No, legitimately. Why are all the characters constantly surprised when they hear about evil stuff the titans did?
We are reminded of it every expansion since WOTLK, finding some screw up of the titans and how they used us as pawns or did some heinous experiments etc. Then every time the characters are like, “ThE TitANS Did ThIS!? HoW cOuLD tHey!?” I mean do we not have any other story threads to play around with? How about some new demon pantheon? More void lords? Anything else?
A bit off tangent, but were the titans ever referenced in the Warcraft RTS games?
I know there are tons of references to them in WoW, and I’m wondering if that’s where they were introduced. Back on tangent though, I can’t say I’ve ever been into the titan stuff outside of Sargeras.
Still Algolon was part of a rather impartial system and the characters that mainly got screwed by the actions of the Titans were the Elemental Lords like Ragnaros and Al’akir, and the Old Gods and their creations. The next big was the Reorigination Engine in Uldum which was mainly there as insurance against the A’qir.
So we’ve mostly benefitted from their actions until Dragonflight came along to heavy-handed the “Titans Bad” plot thread
I’m callin it now. The Titans are the actual evil ones (no surprise to any of us here), BUT, Illidan brings Sargeras back as they had a bro down pow wow and are now friends. So they come back to help us defeat the bad Titans (Illidan becomes a new Titan and he spends the rest of his time protecting Azeroth).
I for one, look forward to burying Eonar’s face in the sand after what she did to me in the Antorus raid.
Plot twist, the “Last Titan” isnt referring to Azeroth, but Sargeras returns to wiping out all other Titans with our help. Lets Azeroth Soul choose its own path and conclude that story. Newly reformed Burning Legion returns with a different objective that we support.
I’m just picturing some ordeal going down which requires Illidan to drive the form of Sargeras like a mech-suit and ends up becoming a titan that way, along with punching Aman’Thul in the face shortly afterwards.
Yep, their lore is that they were created by a robot now.
Oh and apparently souls there aren’t actually eternal, the “Afterlives” are 3D printed by a machine – and are also nihilistic in their design …
Eh Dreadlords being spies of the Shadowlands imo was a cool concept. It added more into their sneaky side and had us fooled the entire time. If it makes you feel better, they are too big, bigger than Tauren, to be made playable anyway.
People just wanted them to be good guys because they viewed them as creator gods when the story was always that they came to planets that already had life and tried to force their will on it.
Wait, what I recall is that they went to worlds that had Titans in them. They intervened on Azeroth because was infested with the Void and saw one of their own being attacked. At that point, any being of Order would not want to be corrupted.
And on Outland they saw the planet being destroyed by the lack of balance the overgrowth caused and the elements were not even present due to that.
In both cases, what they did seemed logical and for the benefit of the planet’s balance (Outland). We never heard of them going to a good planet and just erasing everything. And being fair, the part of the Void that went to Azeroth is not the good Void, but beings that still wanted a Titan to corrupt and make it to this reality to cause even more destruction. Unless that was retconned and I do not know.
I do not think the Titans are evil, I think the point Blizz wants to make is that each power sees to their own agenda acting based on their nature. For the Titans, being order, woul be acting just like that, which is why they wanted to keep the Earthen in order. Albeit that part is not exactly good.
Based on what TWW has been telling us, Azeroth is not a Titan and the Titans were trying to influence her towards Order the same way the Old Gods were toward the Shadow.
The Chronicles are canonically Titan propaganda, so anything in there is questionable. Which includes the ordering of both Azeroth and Draenor.
