You mean like how Blizzard famously has Illidan as a genocidal, enslaving maniac doing it all to confront the Legion?
My post was mainly sarcastic, but this is Blizzard we are discussing, and while I like their story for the most part, some things are like Robot Chicken’s portrayal of Shyamalan (didn’t look up how to spell it) going “what a twist!”
not really, jailer will most definitely be bad guy of expansion with sylvanas beeing his lackey. At the end sylvanas will be forced to replace jailer (by us, united coventants, w/e) as jailer after we will kill him

We already got the twist.
The twist was Sylvanas was evil and working with an evil entity, not for the good of the Horde.
It was a shitty twist everybody but her most ardent fanboys saw coming a decade away, but that was the twist.
The Jailer is evil and the villain of the expansion. Blizzard isn't subtle about storytelling whatsoever, there isn't some grand epic deep storyline happening, its one rule of cool moment to another while telling the most generic good vs evil storyline possible.
I donno why people keep expecting it to be different when its been this way for 25 years.

I have seen the Jailer ... He is surprising
I don't think there is any good or bad here. I think they each have a role to play. But somewhere something broke and jailer is doing something about it by doing something that is no allowed for beings like him and arbiter.
Warcraft 3 Reign of Chaos was the game that brought me into gaming. I was 17 years old then, I abhorred gaming before this game. From then on, I became a fan of Warcraft and Blizzard. To see it all go down the drain like this is truly sad for me. No king rules forever but at least some of them went down in history as real badasses. I hoped Blizzard and Warcraft would be one of them but it is no longer possible.
You think the Arbiter has a grimatongue(bad adviser) in his ear or some other corruption in it? Could be. Now that every soul belongs to the Jailer I can imagine his programming is going haywire thinking he's the one that's supposed to be in charge of the place.
If you knew the candle was fire then the meal was cooked a long time ago.
I am sure an entity that feeds of the souls of the damned and subsequently wrecked the "machine of death" by overfeeding, while starving the rest of the Shadowlands must be more evil then an entity that judges peoples souls depending on their deeds in life.
At best the Jailer is neutral as he is so old that he existed before words such as "good and evil" even existed, but since he at least condoned if not even supported Sylvanas murder spree through Azeroth for years I doubt he can be considered anything but evil now.
