Orgrim and Maraad: Discussion (Sppilers)

[purebalance]

I agree about Maraad. If they HAD to kill him they could have at least done his story arc justice. It felt very rushed and forced and never really paid off. Doomhammer I have a hard time caring about because I don't really care about the duplicate characters to begin with.

There's a LOT of stuff in WoD that was phoned in.

For example if you take the talent for the permafernal/doomguard etc all 4 pets play the felguard voiceover when summoned. Really? Those talents have been around for a while. They couldn't just put in 4 more sounds?

I don't know about you, but I felt all sorts of feels in the Talador cinematic... "In the light... We... are... one..."

I do agree though, with Maraad, not with Orgrim. Maraad is one of OUR heroes, from OUR Azeroth, he deserved much more. However, Orgrim is from this AU, after WoD, I doubt any of the characters will be important again.

Amen, As someone who has read all about Maarad beforehand, I felt his death was very heroic and shared a slight tear at his death. Altohugh I am loving Yrel right now!

I thought that line was from an early version of the game where Yrel and Maraad were supposed to be a couple, before it got cut. I just figured it was too late to change the cinematic so they just went with it anyway. The line doesnt make much sense either. We are one? Who is we?

Fuck you Blizzard. Sure Maraad's death was a good death but it was sudden, and I'm not sure it was needed.

As long as Yrel makes it back to our Universe and works with both factions in the next expansion, I won't care about how or why Maraad or Orgrim died.

[corebit]

Orgrim's death didn't do him any justice. He basically got one-shot by Blackhand, whereas in the original timeline he whooped Blackhand's ass.

[Flutterguy]

Maraad had a story arc? Barely noticed the guy after Tanaan.

If by 'arc' you mean he was suddenly really super angry in some flavor text in Talador, with Yrel being worried about his anger, and then out of nowhere he sacrifices himself to save the others and is at peace then yes. He had an 'arc.'

What ever happened to Alt. Maraad?

Also, I've heard some "conspiracy" theories that Yrel is the AU version of Maraad. Not figuratively, but literally.

Meh, both were taken out so they wouldn't steal the spotlight from other characters like Thrall or Yrel. Mind you I felt that Maraad's death was indeed very heroic, redeeming himself for his past mistake. Orgrim could have definitely used more face time, I hear he was supposed to have a part to play in Gorgrond but that was scrapped for some reason. I'm still wondering about the Doomhammer he left behind. I just hope Thrall won't go full green Jesus again and pick that one up as well to end up dual wielding Doomhammers.

Goes for Alt-everyone, who already have MU-versions visiting Draenor. Blades of grass and all that. I'm enjoying the shit out of this expansion, but the holes are there and they are decorated with signs and neon lights. Hopefully Blizzard will be more considerate for the integrity of the lore in the future.

Yrel being Alt-Maraad would be too internet for Warcraft.

[Lolretadin]

Man, I love Sppliers.

OT:
I detested the scene, if only for the fact that they killed Maraad off far too quickly.

That'd be very interesting and wrong and curious and horrible at same time, combined
