    Well, Sargeras was better for me because you could read about him in the tomes and other clues in game since vanilla, he was the big bad dude and I feel that he was way better enemy "far far away" than when we actually saw him. Stories about Broxigar, Medivg, artefacts from Warcraft RTS games. Even if the end of him was not that good and they actually made him seem like a stupid giant because he was fooled by Dreadlords and sucked into a ghostbusters trap, while he was unknown dude who was always there - it felt "nice".
    Now we have Jailer, supposedly working against us since Titans corruption and so one but it just feels like very cheap "haha this was him all along" trick after pulling out some new character. It's DBZ levels of building

    Kel'thuzad literally was just evil and willingly gave his life to become an all powerful Lich. The Sha are Evil incarnate, The Old Gods are Evil beings. The Lich King is bent on destroying the everyone. The Eredar willingly joined Sargeras then murdered their own kin then went on a rampage across the galaxy.

    How are these not evil for evils sake..

    I hate to invoke Godwin's law, but Hitler was once Time Person of the year. Would you say he wasn't evil?

    Having a "reason" to end up Evil, doesn't mean they aren't evil.

When an Old God encounters a planet without a World-Soul it corrupts it regardless and without real purpose. Corruption is what they are.
    Definitely not Evil's sake. They're still forces of nature doing what they do as it's the will of the Void.

    As blizzard got very trained in announcing lies, I wouldn't be surprised if the "this was the old design" is actually a lie too.
    If not... I don't know. I probably lost faith in them creating a proper villian. Mr. proper is definitely extremely unfrightening

    Sargeras was doing his own show of "order", which is evil to us. But it's what he thinks is just tampering with the nature law to set things right. The Eredar are evil, yes. The Sha and the Old Gods are flesh beings made from the Void Lords, and only serve to extend their will of spreading corruption and Shadow across all existence, which is just them doing their purpose, since the Light and other foes do the exact same fucking thing but in their own ways, and so forth.

    Arthas and Kel'Thuzad were evil, however. Arthas had his own reasons for doing shit, so did Ner'zhul (Which Arthas kinda expanded upon a bit, hence why he needed us), but Arthas overall was genuinely an evil dick. Same with Kel'thuzad. But Kel'thuzad's just the perfect goon. If he were in Mario. He'd be a BIG Goomba. A boss Goomba. A KING GOOMBA!

    That too. Sargeras' build up was imo far greater, but I don't think I saw him as extremely too intimidating in old lore, especially since the WoTA had him as "supposedly weaker than the Old Gods" by Krasus, tho he was some random lmao.

    "Even if the end of him was not that good and they actually made him seem like a stupid giant because he was fooled by Dreadlords and sucked into a ghostbusters trap,"

    Are you talking about the Old Lore or New Lore here? Cause the Dreadlords fucked with Sargeras in the old Tomes in Classic, and they fucked with him in the recent lore too. It's actually consistent, which is funny lmaooo

    Yea, the Jailer is kinda whack, ngl.

    The Will of the Void (Lords) in this case being the creation of a Dark Titan so that they can start making a ruckus in the physical universe - and that definitely falls under the aegis of "evil" in most senses. Just look at what the Old Gods do to a world absent a World-Soul, after all.

    Yeah, but the Void's natural ideals is to see Infinite Possibilities and use them in order to claim Existence for themselves, and the Light exists to counteract that and do their own method of conquering Existence also.

    To us, it's Evil. To the Void, it's just their shit, they're doing whatever they want to do in order to see the Void's will done.

    Also, what's with this "Ordering of Light and Shadow" thing regarding Elune? I wonder...who are the First Ones? I think they came before Light and Shadow, but idk...

    I don't think they came before them, but I do think they had a hand in separating them, and also ordering the other primal forces like Death, Disorder, Order, and Life. They created the metacosm we currently deal with, in other words.

    I think Elune is one of the First Ones. In Legion we find out that Elune is the mother to the Naaru and in Chronicle we find out that the Naaru were created at the beginning of the Universe... so put two and two together.

    I guess? But that would go against the ideas that they are essentially the clockmakers and the architects of the Cosmic framework, which Light and Shadow are apart of.

    And Light and Shadow being before them kinda goes against the idea that they are the FIRST ones. Meaning, they came First.

    Besides, Light and Shadow were, TO THE TITANS, the fundamental forces of existence, even tho all we know is that they made the Physical Universe, and (kind of, but it's now debatable) the Nether. They don't know of everything regarding the Cosmic Powers, and neither do we.

    Also, the "Ordering of Light and Shadow" can mean many things. Maybe Elune is a creation of the First Ones, in a similar way the Arbiter was, and her mission was to provide structure to their designs, their cosmic "influences", ya know?

    Would be, imo, a better way of explaining Elune than just flatout calling her a "First One", since if she were a First One, I would assume the Jailer or someone else would know by now.

    After thinking about it, maybe not. Maybe she's but a creation of theirs, and her duty was to provide a cosmic structure of the Cosmic Influences.

    Also, a reminder that the "great ordering of Light and Shadow" can mean anything. The "great ordering" likely meaning the clash and the creation of the Great Dark. I actually totally missed the fact that the "great order" was talked about in Legion, and not SL, which is actually my fault. Ahaha.

    So, who knows wtf Elune even is anymore.

    Because they didn't build him up like Arthas. We spent time with Arthas and got to know him as a character and see his journey to becoming LK.

    The Jailer is just some character they pulled out of their ass and expect us to care about. It is my main issue with WoW and them not trying to build up characters really. Villains especially because 9/10 of them just become loot piñatas because they need raid bosses. Imagine if the Jailer had even been teased back in Wrath. And no not just the idea of a big bad but like actually hearing a name or something. Then we could have had them build toward him. But nope. Lets just retcon a ton of shit and throw this guy at you. Lol

    Though, THIS part is what gets me:

    ""Your stoneborn will never find us and your precious Elune has no power here.""

    Considering the First Ones are above the Cosmic Pantheons, and are straight up confirmed to have essentially created the Shadowlands, this line should NOT be a factor if Elune was a First One. So...I'm going to assume she's probably a Light Lord, or a top of the line being of Life, or even a being made by the First Ones themselves.

    That would actually be the best thing ever.

    If I had to guess I think early on in development there was one character that combined Zovaal and the Primus/RC. Then for some reasons, story or gameplay or both, they wanted to split him into 2 different characters "brothers". Sort of like during OW development they had 1 'ninja' character and it eventually became Hanzo and Genji.

    the only thing i know about the jailer is that he has this impregnable fortess called torghast and no one can leave the maw but we come and go as we please slaughtering everything. once a villain stops feeling threatening, you really cant get that back. no matter what he does in the future, i already know i dunked on his ass a billion times.
    TO FIX WOW:1. smaller server sizes & server-only LFG awarding satchels, so elite players help others. 2. "helper builds" with loom powers - talent trees so elite players cast buffs on low level players XP gain, HP/mana, regen, damage, etc. 3. "helper ilvl" scoring how much you help others. 4. observer games like in SC to watch/chat (like twitch but with MORE DETAILS & inside the wow UI) 5. guild leagues to compete with rival guilds for progression (with observer mode).6. jackpot world mobs.

    You can't really say it's in the last 30 mins of a 2 hour movie when we are currently in the first quarter of the movie, so really it's the first 30 mins with a trailer for the start of the next 30 mins. We are 9.0. I'm sure we will learn a lot by end of 9.1 which is half way. It's chapter 1 of the shadowlands from our perspective so calm down and as I say, let the story unravel.

    i see you are ignoring me, so let me say again: this story has been going on since 2016.
    if we keep this "movie" comparison, then we are in the middle of the third movie of a trilogy, and we still dont know what the first 2 movies were all about. which means ur entire point about people needing "patience" and watever is straight up bs, bc people had patience for 5 years now.
