    Of course, in that very same story-line, the author is killing off the characters, and mostly the beloved ones, in order to shock the audience as well as glue it to the series. 'Oh, but now that this character I love has died, how will that influence that faction which I really like?'
    Basically, excessive killing is pretty much poor development as well.

    Malfurion, Jaina, Thrall, there are so many powerful characters in the story its just poor logic. Hell, Thrall couldn't even hold his own against Jaina in tides of war, so by such logic she should be killed off to.

    Exactly. Killing off all major characters leaves the story with nothing to develop upon.

    Did killing Cairne and replacing him with Baine do anything? no, people don't even know who Baine is or care about his story.

    Yet he was the Chosen Shaman of Everything Good!!!1!!11.
    If he was just one fish in a large school, we'd be having a different conversation. But he isn't. He's pretty much the Chosen One.

    Oh if you want to talk about 'chosen one', you ever looked at Varian lately? Yeah, the guy with the massive chin used as the wolf gods avatar.

    No, Thrall is a badass. Thrall took Deathwing's place as Earth Warden so he could fire a lazer that destroyed Deathwing. Thrall is the world shaman, responsible for uniting the orcs and breathing life into a Horde stronger than any before. Jaina mediates because she wants the safety of the Alliance. Thrall mediates because he's currently allowing the Alliance to live on his Azeroth.

    Thrall shouldn't die. He is not even a marry sue. He barely helped save azeroth, and now hes superman? If Thrall has to die then everyone as powerful or more powerful has to die. Have fun killing Bimble Longberry Fruit vender next xpansion. I here shes a toughy.

    You're really just reiterating his point though. In real life, it doesn't matter how likable you are. You have just the same chance of tragedy falling on you as the unlikable ones.

    I understand that's not everyone's cup of tea, but understand protecting a character just for the sake that the reader likes them leads to its own slew of problems as well.

    I get it now. Thrall is the Chuck Noriss of Azeroth. Hes not THAT powerful, but everyone hates him now because people think hes a god.

    Nobody hates Thrall. We all love our supreme God Emperor. Praise be to Thrall!
    If you are particularly bold, you could use a Shiny Ditto. Do keep in mind though, this will infuriate your opponents due to Ditto's beauty. Please do not use Shiny Ditto. You have been warned.

    this is an example of where the community have a bad opinion of how events transpired regarding Thrall in cataclysm. you refer to him like he's some god like powerful being, and yet he is no more powerful then Malfurion or Jaina, who characters who are held with the alliance right now.

    If anything, the alliance has vastly more powerful leaders them then the horde has, so accusing Thrall of being to powerful? If you actully read Tides of War, you'd know that Jaina faught against Thrall, and he couldn't stand against her power, stopping her from destorying orgrimmar and keeping her held off at the same time, she could have killed him if not for Kelecgos coming into it.

    Because people are morons and don't follow the story. They ride on the back of half baked opinions by trolls and think there clever when they don't even read the lore.

    The man just had a child! You people want to leave a poor child fatherless. We already see what that did to thrall.

    Yeah a guy who got a boost in stamina and a bit faster totally compares to a guy who was chosen to save the entire world and held it together with some other shamans, who is totally this magical Warchief who is the only one to steer the Horde in the right direction blah blah blah.

    You're incredibly biased, it's actually sickening to watch.

    Because lessons aren't learned from the past by people unwilling to listen to them.

    Its not biased, its fact of the matter, The alliance has with it the worlds most powerful sorceress, the worlds most powerful druid who's thousends of years old, the worlds most powerful prophet whos even older, and a defacto ruler whos the avatar of a god, and yet you think you make sense labeling Thrall as so powerful he should be killed off for that reason? Half the Dam Alliance Leaders Are Super Heroes, you Don't have an argument.

    Thats just it.. there were other shamans as well including some very powerful ones who taught him. If you think Thrall needs to die for being the most powerful shaman then the most powerful character of every class needs to die as well. Garrosh Varian Jaina Malfurion Sylvanas (because she totally held off the Lich king right /sarcasm....) need to die. Lets kill everyone but the fruit venders. What a fantastic story and game we have now huh?

    You completely missed my post about Thrall AND Varian earlier, didn't you?
    Varian/Lo'gosh was a mistake that needs to be dealt with ASAP.

    I'd actually be pretty happy to see them all thrown under the bus. Not because they're the most powerful characters, but because I think they're kinda ehhhh with their development.

    Sylvanas actually plays a role as antagonist and it's not her current plot so she shouldn't die- She should die when the camera is actually focused on her. Jaina is serving as an antagonist, but MoP's plot directly affects her, so her dying would be okay(provided it's well written etc blah blah blah).

    Why is that a bloody issue for you? This is a FANSTASY STORY, Characters with remarkable powers in a fantasy universe. The Writers of Warcraft are confessed comic book readers, and so many characters have comic book hero undertones.

    This isn't a mistake, its how the writers have it, you don't anything to stand on here.

    Sylvanas is pretty cool though, maybe she can live. Sylvanas kills worgen and doesnt afraid of anything
    Stop posting here then. Stop playing warcraft (or being one of those posters who doesn't play wow anymore but just hangs around threads for creeping sake), go read game of thrones, where characters die out all though it. If you get a jolly fro seeing major characters die then find a franchise that does that for you.
