    • @Frozen_Death_Knight
      @Frozen_Death_Knight 3 ปีที่แล้ว +126

      Velen is a pretty complicated character all things considered. He had to deal with the knowledge that having his people take refuge on various planets would turn those planets into big targets for the Legion, specifically Kil'jaeden, to attack. He used his faith in the Light and "destiny" to deal with his increasingly guilty conscience, somehow trying to justify all the deaths that happened by following the path of fate.
      That's also why in Legion Illidan heavily berates and criticises Velen since he unlike Velen was someone who constantly defied his destiny, i.e. by carving out his golden eyes (a sign of greatness in Night Elven culture) and refusing to become the saviour by killing the Naaru. Interestingly enough, Velen completes his character arc by taking Illidan's advice by becoming proactive and trying to defy the path he had foreseen in his visions.
      The Legion expansion really did a good job showing off the complexity of the character. Highly recommend questing through the entire expansion on an alt, since a lot of it is shown in game.

      Realistically he only _seems_ somewhat bland compared to the others because... Well really, what do the Draenei care about the stupid factions wars of the Horde and Alliance? Like, obviously the Draenei are pretty pledged to the Alliance and will do what they can to help and such, but Velen himself tends to stay out of it. And the other leaders know that, Liadrin especially seems to be the main Blood Elf to vouch for not waging war on the Draenei.
      And lets be real... after Legion, when the Light Forged joined in and the Vindicaar was their little temporary home before they could settle properly on Azeroth (which is still yet to really be established in them doing that ingame), the Vindicaar was _basically_ an Orbital Defense Platform with the power of pure light. If Velen and the majority of the Draenei were really super into allying hard with the Alliance, _what the actual hell_ would've stopped them from raining Holy Destruction upon Lordaeron and Sylvanas' Undead forces at the start of Battle for Azeroth?
      Velen and his followers probably could've easily stopped majority of BFA, or at least the Horde/Alliance fighting part of it, but why should he pick a side? He's probably in the camp of characters thinking _"Lightforged Jesus, are they fighting again? Why?! Fuck it, I'm staying out of it. Exodar for some reason still needs attention in fixing up."_
      Velen is a 'bigger picture' sort of guy, as we saw with Burning Crusade and Legion. He'll step up when everyone is under threat from something that's not their own stupid decisions.

    Fun fact, the Eredar were potrayed as an unimaginable evil demon race that was one of the causes of Sargeras going mad, because Titans had no concept of evil or ability to comprehend somebody doing bad things. They were imprisoned and later freed by the gone mad Sargeras - before they retconned it in TBC.
    Didn't disappear from the original creation story however, which was online on the WoW website until at least... I think Cataclysm? Or MoP.

      That's actually makes the most sense out of anything. If they were creatures from their own home world that developed naturally into a concept of free thinking life like the races on Azeroth then it kind of seems obvious that they all be different inclinations of personality and opinion. Someone probably see the burning Legion is the best thing ever others would see siding with the afterlife as they're guarantee have a free out no matter what goes down. And some are probably out there just doing their own thing for their own sake because screw everyone else I'm a dreadlord.

  • @domidium
    @domidium 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    You know, I keep hearing some fans say that the "draenei retcon" was one of the worst retcons in Warcraft history. By making it that Sargeras was corrupted by the (demonic) dreadlords, or his own observations on the possibilities of the whole universe being already corrupted by the void; instead of Sargeras being corrupted by the Eredar. But, in all honesty, what did this retcon really hurt? Not all that much detail was elaborated on/established about the eredar beforehand, and the story Blizzard came up with the coming of the Burning Crusade (or possibly before) was a hell of a lot more interesting than what they had before. It gave the eredar, and by extension, the draenei, a much more detailed and storied history. Now, this is different than what's going on with Shadowlands right now, because in Shadowlands, Blizzard has been upheaving DECADES of clearly and explicitly established lore that we've experienced in game for ourselves! There have been characters in game that have TOLD us that certain things are the way they are, and then in Shadowlands, we're expected to just forget about all that. Yeah, don't think so. So it's for this reason that I'm actually perfectly alright with the "draenei retcon">

    • @HYPNOPOSSUM
      @HYPNOPOSSUM 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      the draenei retcon is genius because it makes both sargeras and the eredar much more complicated and interesting than they were before. sargeras choosing the path of destruction willingly for what he perceives as the greater good makes him so much more compelling than just being corrupted by the eredar
