They did Ysera good and Wonsamdi as well, at least theres that. At least wow doesnt trash all their characters. :sigh: I really, truly love this game, but I am about to cut myself over the sloppy writing. I love how we establish in the Venthyr campaign that greed was not Kael's sin, then his sin-stone reads that he is greedy anyway. The writing teams have really shat on Kael'thas and I am thankful they have tried to inject him back in to try to wrap up and resolve that sloppy writing, but they either need to stop or actually give him justice, this half-attempt where he's emasculated is killing me. Maybe its just me - i feel like they even emasculate Thrall in this expansion. The retconned Kael from a shy, humble, benevolent prince to a mustachioed tyrant the moment he touched Outland, and now they-ve retconned him again as a petulant snob and spoiled brat in SL. For those that don't know the history, Kael'thas is a hero. He was studying in Dalaran when Arthas killed his father. He is a shy, benevolent, caring prince. He raced home and blew up the Sunwell to stop the scourge from pouring through, saving the Eastern Kingdoms but sentencing his own people to mana starvation. Boats of fleeing belf children were sunk and 90% of his people were slaughtered. He moved to strike back at the scourge with his last handful of fighters and Garithos, the epic racist who hates all who are non-human, sent him alone to face impending doom knowing he would be overwhelmed and perish. The Naga Vashj shows up and offers aide and together, Vashj and Kael'thas forces are successful against the scourge. Garithos is displeased by this and now has the excuse he's needed to eradicate Kael. He deems Kael a traitor for working with the Naga, of course he despises the Naga also, and uses this a justification to throw Kael and his men in prison to rot for the next thousand or so years, or however long belfs live. Luckily Vashj breaks Kael out of jail, but at this point his people are dying without their sunwell. He writes of his hesitation to make a pact with Illidan to save his people, considering it a necessary evil, but then he and his people are considered traitors for that and that's how belfs joined the Horde. Then we got the Retcon. The moment Kael sets a toe in Outland he is suddenly a mustachioed villian who turns on his people and is fully corrupted. Even though we have Void elves and Illidari demon hunters who are totally okay with demonic energy now, even though we have Illidan who is a legend now, even though Illidan had a castle of slaves and concubines and we sat through a whole expansion getting lectured by holy characters for going after Illidan with hate in our hearts, Illidan who blows up a Naaru and even the high prophet himself doesn't blink an eye. Thats all fine, but Kael? Nope, he has to go to hell and get spanked and emasculated for who knows how many eons. He doesn't even get to see Vashj. Mind you she doesn't get spanked for eons, she goes straight to Maldraxxus to have some fun. We even have Sylvanas now saying no one had freedom or a choice in life so why is Kael being the only one punished for what he couldn-t control? This writing is awful. (Blood elves without their sunwell are wretched. Nightborne without their nightwell are withered. There was even a Nightborne boss we had to fight in a raid who thought she had to side with the legion to save her people, sound familiar? Rinse and repeat. Don't get me wrong, I love the universe, but the writing team needs to consist of people who care about the warcraft universe and its characters and who have the talent and creativity to handle it) The Retcon of Kael'thas the moment he touched Outland was sloppy, he was used as a prop to make a quick dramatic story. If you get the Artifact weapon, Felo'melorn, you get to read 1 page about how Kael reforged it (his father's sword) and how he fought Arthas with it over and over and over, countless times, and neither could best the other, but in the entire wrath of the lich king we don't get a glimpse of that, only that Sylvanas is the brave hero that dare go after Arthas. At least the teams at Blizzard cared enough to bring him back in the blood elf heritage armor quest to give you a glimpse of who he really was. And I'm thankful they tried to incorporate him into the new story in Shadowlands, but all they've done is deny his justice and torment him for the retconning while everyone else is skipping around like its a Disney story. I'm afraid at this point the next thing we will see is that Sylvanas is a hero who just had to kill her own to give us freedom from fate and everyone will be happy and good is evil and evil is good, but still fcvk Kael right? He alone will still magically just have to pay for crap he had no choice in and awful writing with no resolution, no justice, nothing. They couldnt even let him play a hand in taking out Kel'Thuzad. He doesn-t even get to launch a single fireball at that lich, who we-ve killed what 4 times? He just has to forgo everything and sit there and be sorry. Tyrande pops up out of nowhere and is totes fine. Ysera gets a whole redemption story but Kael is spanked like a petulant child, an uttery mockery of who he is before the retcon. I am sticking with my head cannon that he made a humunculous of himself and actually peaced out from WoW years ago and went on to Dota2 as the Invoker (who is based off Carl / Kael) to do something more sensible with his eons of knowledge and time. I love WoW and will probably always play it, but I will never stop calling out this horsecrap.

While the story itself has enough bitter (read: meh writing) to counter all its sweetness, one thing I can't deny about Shadowlands is that, artistic direction aside, in its quieter moments it manages to tell its parts of the story in a beautifully and impactfully soft, elegant, and meaningful way not seen in very many of the past couple expansions, and does so with a finesse to border mastery. If it keeps it up, I may yet fully accept the glaringly rapid Giant Space Flea from Nowhere developments and vibes its shoved our way into the lore like silk laced in a tapestry. Also more Bwonsamdi never hurts.

Did they just confirm the Old Gods of Azeroth being alive? or at least, not completely dead, their essence remaining in something? Because the lore justification for us losing our corruption effects is now that N'Zoth is gone, there is no source that this corruption comes from, so it must cease to exist. But these Twilight Dragons? 'Give in to the whispers? ' what whispers remain, then? It would be amazing if they didn't kill the Old Gods off for good.

Bwonsamdi becomes funnier and funnier, sillier and sillier with a touch of more Disney in every damn line.
Typical Blizzard to make everything so Disney like that it feels like I'm watching a kids show.
And when the action strikes in, it feel like the cheesy department of Marvel stepped in.
No tragedy, no drama, little emotion, only funny stuff and cheesy action.
This games used to be a theatre long ago.
Now it's a circus fiesta.

-Athelarius 1: 03 _Dat mask be lookin' good on ya, mon! Ya remind me of. me! _ That's a (troll/zandalari) transmog item right? Pretty cool voice interaction. Or is that a quest thingy related to the scene? Edit: ah nvm, looked it up on Wowhead probably related to the scene/quest.

Blizzards gone so cheap, they cant even hire a guy with a decent accent to do Bwonsamdi voiceovers anymore.
Blizzard: what do we care? we're filthy rich, and now that Activision is our new master, we really dont care how shitty of work we do anymore.

I'm starting to get pissed off how all the Covenants get to have cool returning character moments in their campaigns except Venthyr. Like ffs I thought Kaelthas would be Venthyr but he's actually in the Necrolords campaign lol. Damn Venthyr suck.

I dream of an mmo with correct chit chat and not just models standing making 5 times the speech animation when it's their time to speak. Always found it awkward. Also never like the tone the actors take when the dragons are in dragon form.

I really wish you would stop mixing in old vids with new content vids. Would be best if you made a separate video for character lore and just link to it if ppl want to know. Thx.

The Winter Queen completely abhors Bwonsamdi. My characters abhor him too, Alliance and Horde. They-ll only help him if it benefits the Shadowlands.
