do the heroes haev personalities in Dragonflight?

lets compare to ... Rick and Morty

Rick - intelligent, jaded, but at the heart of his being, he still cares
Morty - wimpy at first blush but bold as hell deep down.
Summer - insecure, jealous
Beth - intelligent, ambitious, but also will sacrifice all of that just to be loved.
Jerry - super insecure, petty, inept, dumb, but loves Beth.

what do we have for the heroes in Dragonflight as written by Danuser?

Alexstrasza - stoic, boring, contemplative
Kalecgos - stoic, boring, contemplative
Wrathion - used to be interesting when he was younger, but now danuser is writing him as stoic, boring, contemplative
Nozdormu - stoic, boring, contemplative
Khadgar - stoic, boring, contemplative
Turalyon - stoic, boring, contemplative

This writing is so bad. NONE of the heroes have personalities at this point. Danuser needs to be fired.

Only if you go with him then deal.

[Lorgar Aurelian]

Alexstrasza is caring/compassionate to a fault.

Kalecgos is worried about things before his time.

Wrathion is trying to prove his worth and live up to his father's orginal role while also trying to come off better then his brother.

Nozdormu is a doomer waiting to die or turn infinate.

Khadgar is well khadgar hell be making jokes and keeping things upbeat.

they all have very clear personality's that differ from each other

Khadgar jokes are the best... I still remember him asking for a very specific number of crystals... no more or less:
"Don't look at me like that. I'm a mage. I did the math. I need exactly 4986 crystals. 4985 is inadequate. 4987 is of course absurd."

[Le Conceptuel]

stoic, contemplative

Are these inherently bad personality traits for a character?

[Mysterymask]

Today on wow's entire lore is based on outside materials cause half the events that would give them personalities doesn't translate well to a video game

[Kyphael]

From the new cinematic videos I've seen, I like the writing for the Aspects and Kalecgos and Wrathion so far. Dialogue isn't vomit-inducing. It's the overarching story they usually ruin, and the first major villain they're facing is underdeveloped as shit and looks worse to boot.

Literally the only one that's stoic in their list even is Turaylon. Noz comes close but I still wouldn't say stoic about him.

So there's really only one way to respond to this thread.

Yes.

Yes.

Tripple quote because I feel OP needs to see the two others more clearly, as well, the most stoic is Turalyon indeed. Lorgar made a very good list.

I would never use a trashy American cartoon as a standard for storytelling. Read good books like Narnia or Lord of the Rings.

Also this. Stoicism and reflection are good. Enough of this juvenile quipping and sarcasm that plagues modern entertainment.

[Cheezits]

I think Alex is the only really boring one.

Wrathion is NOT stoic, he's arrogant and cocky. When Ebyssian shows up he's also blindsided and has to fight for his title to the Black Flight, which is interesting.

Nozdormu WAS stoic, but now that he knows he's approaching his turn to Murozond and his time visions are failing (likely because he can't see beyond his turning point) he's getting scared and worried. He probably will have the most interesting arc.

Kalecgos is insecure and brooding for good reasons because the Blues historically keep getting fucked over. He should come into his own this expac.

No comment on Ysera and Merithra as their stuff is mostly encrypted. Merithra seemed more interesting on the Beta questlines at least.

Alex... is nice, and that's mostly it. She has a horribly sad and messy backstory but her personality is incredibly boring. She's the "good one" even in Wrath.

Alexstrasza - stoic, boring, contemplative
Kalecgos - stoic, boring, contemplative
Wrathion - used to be interesting when he was younger, but now danuser is writing him as stoic, boring, contemplative
Nozdormu - stoic, boring, contemplative
Khadgar - stoic, boring, contemplative
Turalyon - stoic, boring, contemplative

This is such a surface read that I would have to consider it a parody for its own sake as opposed to an actual takeaway of the characters themselves, all of whom have different personalities and nuances to their characterization.

Alexstrasza - maternal, loving, roughened by trauma yet still possessing an intrinsic desire to believe in others.
Kalecgos - unsure, unsteady, ambitious, and yet not confident about his place among his peers.
Wrathion - gives the impression of arrogance and flippancy, yet deep down cares both deeply about the world and his role in its protection.
Nozdormu - haunted, introspective, and often aloof; possesses secret knowledge no one else can hope to understand, perhaps including himself.
Khadgar - a happy-go-lucky attitude masking a deep and abiding weariness as well as a profound sense of survivor's guilt
Turalyon - grizzled and forged by conflict, yet still retaining the intrinsic faith and optimism that drove him in his younger days

Almost none of these characters are either stoic or contemplative, save for perhaps Nozdormu, they run the gamut of personality types, goals, and outward traits.

lets compare to ... Rick and Morty

No incest in WoW.

As opposed to every season of R&M.
