Sorry, but what is he saying? "I am khadgar, guardian of the shit?"
You were good, kid, real good. But as long as I'm around, you'll always be second best, see?

Oh, and no comment from Xe'ra about how the assault on the black temple was being led in part by the naaru. So was hatred corrupting A'dal's mind too, you pretentious windchime?

So he was a guardian in training, then forsook his vows, all to end up succeeding him anyway.
His problem wasn't with the job, it was the rules the Kirin Tor imposes on the Guardian. The Guardian is charged with staying aloof from others in order to protect them. Similarly, the Kirin Tor isolated itself from the rest of the world. Khadgar disagreed with both ideas, which is why he left; he believed the Guardian shouldn't fight the darkness alone.
I kept thinking that if Khadgar found a ton of spells in Karazhan library, that he could learn if he had time to study them, then we are some real lazy mofos that we stay in garrison rotating missions instead of learning a few hundred more spells.
It also explains why Khadgar in game can one shot everything and we can't.
Watching the movie made me incredibly disappointed when I remembered that mages are so dull in game.
I loved the teleporting animation a lot. It was unique and brilliant.
The retcon I liked least was making Khadgar a rebel against the Kirin Tor. In The Last Guardian he had been sent by the Kirin Tor to keep tabs on Medivh, whom they already suspected was going rogue.
Personally I loved the speaking of spells in the movie and thought it was very well done. However, to have the same in-game would be a nightmare, especially in raid groups. Imagine every single spell being worded while being cast by all players...ouch my ears!
The movie is quite sick tbh
