Protection paladins with Avengers shield is literally the prime example for this.
However, that being said. Do you think the Tyrande fight against Sylvanas poked a bit too much? That stuff came right out of a DBZ episode. It's like some guy high at Blizzard said "well Marvel, superhero stuff is popular right now so why not integrate that into the game?".
Did you like the Tyrande cinematic? I thought it was literally fanfiction/fanservice tier.
