    @People who like Jaina

    Why?

    How?

    How could you like a character who's so hopeless and indecisive she can only act after she gets (deservedly) beaten down.

    What is even remotely likeable about her?

    From "I can't watch you do this Arthas but I sure as hell aren't going to stop you because that would involve a bit of effort" to "I'M SO MAD I'M GOING TO DROWN ORGRIMMAR OH PLEASE HOLD ME TENDERLY MY DRAGON BOYFRIEND" there is nothing redeemable about Jaina's character.

    It's not even like she had interesting development to get to where she was. Like most Alliance characters she's only relevant because her daddy was a big name.

    I'm so glad she got the boot out of Dalaran, if I had to run around and answer to her for a full expansion I'd be rooting for the Legion.

    Which Alliance characters are only relevant due to their father?

    From a video game standpoint she's been through a lot, the loss of Arthas, destruction of Theramore, death of her father, etc. For a video game character some people can empathize with her, I know i do.

    I guess, like, all the Monarchs. But, like, that's the point.

    In short, I think OP is probably the kind of person who hits women. I think that about pretty much anybody who dislikes Jaina. Because I can have an unsubstantiated and irrational opinion too.

    I thought Jaina was a nice character during Warcraft. The stories around her after Wrath of the Lich King made her rather uninteresting in my opinion.

    You don't need to know why people like different characters. You just need to know they do, and you should respect that, whether you fancy the character or not.

    That's the spirit. Rant on fan forums until Blizzard changes their horrid pro-Jaina ways.

    I suppose dividing the Horde was pro-Alliance in a way.

    Jaina was cool before MoP. I liked how she stood as a bastion of peace in a world filled with war, even after everything she'd been through. Then her character was destroyed, and, well... *shrugs*

    I knew about Jaina before her father. I still don't remember his first name.

    I'd be pissed too if the people closest to me were bombed.

    Nothing is wrong with Jaina, she was the most optimistic person on Azeroth until something horrific happened, yeah she had a one moment of anger and now everyone thinks she insane now. Just read War Crimes, she pretty damn level headed now, the only thing different now is that she not so trusting and you would too if you seen your people vaporized.

    Well you see the thing is people like different things because if we didn't then we would be mindless robots.

    Give War crimes a read, she back to her normal self, just not as trusting about the horde.

    ^ this

    she tried her best to be a diplomat in a world of WARcraft and got her home vaporized for that



    plus, she's an old favorite from WC3


    I also liked her working with Thrall and Horde

    I tried, but I couldn't get more than halfway through. It just couldn't hold my attention; I'm not sure why. I liked all of the other Warcraft books I've read (including Tides of War).
