You do know Anachronos was in vanilla right? He was the leader of the brood of Nozdormu, he also recently helped the horde recruit the Mag'har. There is no way he'll be a boss in a Murozong raid, Nozdormu knows when he will die, he appointed Anachronos as his successor to take over when the time comes, that's the lore, so unless they retcon it, which they might, it is Danuser after all, he won't be a boss in a raid.
In fact he probably won't show up at all because Danuser and friends probably forgot he exists after BFA again.
I know he's been there since vanilla, but chromie has been involved heavily since vanilla, anachronous hasn't except a few quests here and there.
I mean chromie has an entire game mode based on her
So if anyone is going to be the new bronze aspect, it's gonna be her. Plus it'd give blizz LGBTQ brownie points and they'd be all over that.
He's trying to answer questions nobody asked so he can feel special.
Nobody seriously cares about what's next when an expansion is about to be released. People can hardly guess what's going to happen in the current expansion. And if you think saying once "Wow I'd love someday to ..." is a theory then of course, everyone can easily guess that we'll fight Sargeras, a void god and some shit from other Zereth. Doesn't make this theory the "Everyone theory". Yikes.
Arthas would have been nothing in Wrath without the MASSIVE buildup from WC3. The buildup he got during the actual xpac was quite crappy tbh, with all his appearances making him look like the stereotypical Saturday morning cartoon "I will get you the next time!" villain.
Even the final scene was complete BS, with that ridiculous "there must always be a LK" meme. Don't get me wrong, I loved Wrath, but it frankly was pure, unadulterated diarrhea from a storytelling PoV.
I told you where the proof is. You don't wanna find it, its not my problem.

What? I'm predicting what the next expansion is after DF, something that people have always done for every expansion. Except that I'm actually correct since I'm nice like that
What exactly offends you? My superior chad like personality?

Again, with my brother...
You want his address so you can send him love letters? You obsessed with him.

No, that was my brother who stole my account. As the guy I just quoted like to bring up.
Unlike him I've actually been write about 9.0 and 10.0 and soon to be 11.0.
1. Yes, I believe it's coincidence. And what facts are we talking about? I look at the same "pattern" as you do - you name it a fact, and I call it confirmation bias and reaching. Just because you state it as if it was a legitimate pattern Blizzard follows, doesn't make it more true. Once Blizzard admits it, I will give you that.
Not to mention that the pattern is broken on the very second instance: Legion corresponds to TBC; but then you have BfA, and because it doesn't fit the pattern, you just call it "a filler". Cataclysm = DF? Because of what? Deathwing and Aspects appearing in the final raid tier? Aspects were there in Dragonblight in WotLK, with Malygos, Sartharion, Sapphiron, Sindragosa and Helion as boss fights. What are we even talking about? There were more dragon-themed storylines in WotLK than in Cataclysm.
Also, devs clearly said DF is MoP inspired - thus you break the pattern again so that Dragonflight does not correspond Cataclysm alone now, but Cata and MoP combined.
This pattern is clearly a classic example of reaching. Some random chinese guy "made predicitions" and created a "pattern", and here we go.
2. Well, there's nothing that tells you can't have space mages. It just doesn't fit into this IP well. You don't need to be a genius to get it. Warcraft theme has been already established as a high-fantasy 25 years ago, not a fantasy combined with sci-fi elements.
Once a citizen of Azerothian city, you grew up to some weird interplanetary-savior rank that wields the power to cut titans in half. Also, because the stakes have to be risen constantly, you need to come up with that lame overarching narratives of villains that are greater than their predecessors.
3. Why would I want them to repeat BfA as you already mentioned yourself it's a low-fantasy, while I opt for it's high counterpart? I don't expect much from Blizzard anyway, as their storywriting has never good, but now it's an abberation. So I keep that bar low.
He's probably not wrong about Chromie taking over after Noz tho, despite the current lore saying it's Anachronos, the story team especially Danuser into pushing their favourite characters to the forefront regardless of the lore and retcons are almost certain with these guys.
He's also probably not wrong about them doing it to please the LGBT crowd.
