One of the better comments I've seen:
The Night King: Welcome to the club.
Snoke: Welcome to the club.
N'zoth: * sigh *

So I wonder, will they unlist it? Or are the dislikes too much? xD
Wrathion's cinematic is rated way higher that the ending one, that alone says it all.
Honestly? A fit ending for an overplayed character like N'zoth. There is a reason why he was the underling of the Black Empire, he was a fart of an Old God that took control of the plans because we killed all the others.
At least I like the conclusion of all titanic plots left since Ulduar.
The Void. A force of infinite hunger. Its whispers have broken the will of dragons... and lured even the titans' own children into madness. Sages and scholars fear the Void. But we understand a truth they do not. That the Void is a power to be harnessed... to be bent by a will strong enough to command it. The Void has shaped us... changed us. But you will become its master. Wield the shadows as a weapon to save our world... and defend the Alliance!
This ending is perfect. It managed to completely encapsulate the spirit of BfA's quality.
N'Zoth was probably supposed to be carried over to the next expansion, but decided to seize the opportunity and let himself be killed so he could nope out of the plot. It's the wise thing to do.
btw, thank god we got 3 "Saurfang being sad"-cinematics. That is making this expansion worth it.
"We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see." ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
I lost reason for that optimism long ago, but let's hope you're right.
Since giving N'Zoth a good treatment now is out of the cards, I at least hope they're smart enough to end up spinning this as N'Zoth purposefully losing in order to fool the player character and the rest of Azeroth, giving him time to brew something up between now and Shadowlands. Visions of N'Zoth and all.
Why should we have any optimism regarding WoWs story? It's been an major let down for quite some time now. I have more faith in Blizz making the gameplay system more enjoyable again than writing a compelling story. Nobody is expecting top level writing here, but nowadays the story is less compelling than at the time Metzen was ripping off 80s Warhammer.
Better than legion's ending where the super hyped up big bad of the entire warcraft universe is randomly a fart cloud for some reason and he stabs Azeroth before being imprisoned by a perpetually emo elf. Anyone expecting Blizzard to come up with a great story hasn't been paying attention for the last ... oh ... since the 90s.

We know Mythic has a secret phase third phase while skipping the Normal/Heroic first phase which may take place in a different environment with new mechanics, but I strongly doubt it has a completely different ending cinematic. Those are just too expensive and time-consuming to create just for one difficulty.
I understand Blizzard trying to shift more resources to Shadowlands, but being this blatant about it is quite silly. Even WoD, which was obviously an expansion cut in half, had better closure than BFA, setting aside the ever-moronic DRAENOR IZ FREE nonsense.
Don't ask me. I just hope Aucald is right because I want to stop being disappointed, but personally speaking, I don't believe Shadowlands will be much better. Blizzard's team is filled with too many people who want to write third-rate capeshit shlock for them to write a coherent story not based around splintered fragments of shock and/or cool moments without substance.
N'zoth deserved to get a trial in Pandaria!
There was just a lot of hype around him because he was the last one and the one we knew the least about. That said, there has been a noticeable shift in direction, probably since they realized that in terms of enemies, we were running out of them. So they introduced the chart and to me it seems like the new direction is us going around toppling these new gods.
