I'm so glad to see Anduin again, looking for adventure not because he has to, but because he's interested. Like in Pandaria. I'm also glad that he hasn't changed much: still an altruist, still doesn't listen warnings, still feels responsible for others. Yes, he is depressed, unsure of himself, and sometimes began to lose his temper. But Anduin is still Anduin. I hope he keeps his smart ass diplomacy. By the way, the music is divine.
@@MrBlancify really? Because he's alive? Because it would change him completely and a lot of people would be disappointed? They did the same thing to Sylvanas, completely changed her character, and what happened to her now?
@Ryno2094 you don't think she might say something like, huh this light they're using seems different, or maybe get some red flags from the rhetoric? It's what I get for expecting consistency in the story
It'd be great if he could go back to not being loser-ified (as WoW tends to do to it's characters if it doesn't kill them off), and hopefully ditch the generic AAA protagonist look while they're at it.
@@GrotesqueN that's not what I meant. I wanted to say that now PCs have almost no role in story progression, and everything is done by lore characters.
true sometimes you gotta ask yourself ''why is our character even here? these lore ppl can just handle this by themselves, guess ill go kick rocks and touch peacebloom or whatever''
@@GrotesqueNehhh not necessarily. Classic WoW the world felt massive and big because we were nobodies, the world was new, and we all went our own path like real adventurers. Nobody told you to go to Westfall, you traveled on your own, when you decided you were strong enough and left when you thought you were strong enough for the next zone. To top it off, no lore characters held your hand, nor did you travel with npcs for the story. Now? Yes its a new world but it still feels small because its going to feel like a ride rather than an adventure, going place to place like a planned route. You travel with lore important characters that talk talk talk but never show anything. I promise you this girl with the lost arm with badass armor is going to do NOTHING except get hit once or be like “we will hold this front adventurer go to xyz” so the inclusion of the character is worthless filler dump just to include lore in the world instead of us creating / discovering it ourselves. Take Westfall for example no NPC needed a voice actor or story to tell us the farmers’ crop machines were going crazy and killing people. Or how Vancleef had his base set in the Deadmines. It was in quests yeah but i didn’t need to waste probably 10 mins listening to a characters story and why xyz is happening, it happened naturally through quests and *gasp* adventuring on our own. Thats what made the world big. This again felt like just a small info dump ride on rails A defias mage felt more dangerous than the giant sword. What sword? Who cares about the sword? How does it effect the gameplay, the game feel? My character? It doesn’t. Vs the defias pillager mage. We FEARED that npc and we have fond memories of it because it was memorable, a challenge, a threat, and served a purpose to show that deadmines wasn’t your average zone. I promise you these new “titan monsters” or void creatures we will kill in a few hits in the outside world i’m sure.
ugh they're going to couple them together arent they , so cheap just some random character out of nowhere, so many other characters that would make a better wife for anduin.
its just an expansion on the lore, not necessarily a retcon. All humans are descendants of Vrykul. The humans we know of are, a part of what "we" call the Arathor Empire. These Arathi we see in TWW are an earlier splinter of the human tribes. They are led by a Light Emperor. The name Lothar is just that, a name. Our proximity to what we know as the Lothars makes us think characters have to be closely related. It's fully plausible the earlier splinter of the human tribes had Lothars who may or may not be related to who "we" know as Lothars. Also have to keep in mind this is a huge powerful empire. I won't spoil beta but I'm sure they are trying to help set up WoW post world soul saga. In dragon flight there's a text that basically explains there's a whole nother side of Azeroth we don't know about because the Titans hide certain things from us for their own reasons. ( I don't recall the text but I'll come back and link it) Further goes to show we will encounter this Arathi empire of half human, half elf, light driven peoples soon.
They already flirted with this idea of Anduin having some sort of Dark powers and It was very appreciated. Why taking so much time to implement this idea? And also, what happened with that dark form that Alleria had? That form was cool.
Dont forget about the blood elves from silvermoon they too have high numbers of paladins and priests there. To be honest for me this is just the expedinationary force and later send reinforcements once relationship between undergrounder and uptowner is good.
How would they sell the new leader of the Alliance if we just solved this issue for them? No we need to be helped by someone who's entire way of life went to H a few years ago because we have never dealt with the void before naturally.
Then Calia takes over the Horde. Next expansion - the menstrual war. We will be removing all men from the game because they bad. :'( pls buy our DEI product
The intro exposition of how these Arathi came to be under Azeroth sounds like what would come out if I asked ChatGPT to write me a short fanfiction within the Warcraft universe.
Oh lords, this story line with Anduin is going to kill me yet. It hurts my heart to hear him still living in that tower, even if it's just in his head, or soul.
She is from another branch of the Lothar family who went to a another continent thousands of years ago. They founded the Arathi Empire there. She's a VERY distant relative to Anduid Lothar, we're talking 20th cousin. That's why she is black, your IRL 20th cousins are also probably a different race from you.
Faerin’s voice actor fits a child or a high elf character. Faerin looks like she should be a bold voiceed character like one of the orc female warriors in MoP. Her character design made me think she’d sound like a warrior.
Okay, since when are warriors are supposed to have the same booming voice? I honestly like the voice, it's rich in emotion it wants to convey and clear to understand
@@dande-lion did I say warriors need to have the same booming voice? No, read. I said it doesn’t fit her character design because it’s a soft-toned voice. Her design looks like she’s seen a war or 2.
Why? You're expecting that everyone with the name Lothar is of the ruling family? It's like the name Kennedy, not everyone is in JFK's family line, John Kennedy of Louisiana isn't, but he's a Kennedy. Maybe somewhere in the distant past, but not anywhere near now. Lothar has to be the same way, it's got some other family histories out there somewhere, she's never said she was kin to Anduin Lothar, she didn't even know the name. I don't think it's confusing at all, she's Arathi, and the Lothar name is Arathian in the distant past. I don't find it weird, confusing, or retconing anything.
It’s not weird or confusing to anyone who knows how families and basic genealogy work. And the “woke backlash” is as always manufactured outrage from a vocal minority who are motivated by politics. They are not genuine and do not deserve to be treated as legitimate critics.
@@charlayned She's literally some kind of elf human hybrid from thousands of years ago who somehow survived till now making her part of the original Arathor line who left the Empire. Why are you applying modern concepts of governing to a medieval kingdom? She totally has the right to the throne of humanity itself even above that of Anduin solely because of that name she carries. I don't really care where they go with the story since its been all over the place ever since the "original" trilogy ended with the death of Lich King but your exactly the same as people calling this woke. Everyone knows why they made this character and why they are destroying all the old ones. Every single male in the story is either gone or useless and every male still around is either replaced or will be replaced with a woman. F hypocrites seriously calling out "lOUd mINorITy" while ignoring the obvious focus on identity politics over actual story...
sigh - Is this entire expansion going to be listening to Anduin whine and bitch about how worthless and unworthy he is and being genreally worthless - yet at the same time trying to demand things like a king? That shit's gonna get real old, real quick.
Yes it is anything that has to do with Anduin is like this always has been he's to much of a reactive character Him being anything like his father the true king would be to much to ask for.
This is why I hate modern wow story. They massacred old characters to shove in the narrative how they are useless and strong female champs will save the day. Its riddicilous.
Women will boss him around and be generally better than him, also. Preferably not white. Because of course there are dark skinned people living underground.
lmao i cant with blizzard i fkn cant Faerin in game > Feminine sounding VA(nice choice btw), sounds like a cleric of justice , hope and light Faerin in blizz cinematic trailer > ''AYO HOMEBOY! CMERE AND GIB ME KISS ON MY HOT MOUTH! IM FEELING ROMANTICAL!!!''
Tbf it makes sense to give her a simple haircut (this coming from someone who would have loved to see an intricate hairstyle on a black character). From her characterization so far she's someone who's quick to jump into the fray (and having long hair can be really annoying/inconvenient on a battlefield full of dust, bugs, blood & gore), she's missing an arm so maintenance would be more difficult, and it actually goes well with the scars on her face (one on her right side, just below her haircut; makes sense she'd make it symmetrical). I get why some people were anxious about her character before alpha started (what with the girlboss trend that literally has women just be assholes 24/7 with no character progression and claims it's empowering) but she's been awesome from the first quest we see her in up until now (waiting to see how the expansion goes, we've yet to get to see her at her lowest since that's the one thing she's missing right now)
It's because blizzard are closet racists. They always go for the most stereotypical depiction of people of color. Just look at the artwork for her and see how they paint her with exaggerated racial characteristics.
Iam Faerin..iam the token black amputee chick that ticks two boxes at once. I know it makes no sense that the let someone with just one arm fight in a war at the dfront lines and not in a position that wozuld not endanger other there..but hey for some reason i am better then other fighter with both arms that are fighting as long as i do.
It's High Fantasy man, the least crazy thing in this universe is that an amputee can be a good fighter. She's a Paladin, she doesn't need 2 arms to be better than most magic-less fighters.
@@viastephtop when the king has fallen and their soldiers sacrifice their very own lives to protect what they love, women take arms in a last ditch effort to protect what they cherish and hold dearest.
Making Anduin miserable after Shadowlands is pathetic. Blizzard should start making Anduin a proper King again. Stop making anduin full of doubt and make him grow up. I understand to develop a character but how long is anduin going to be like this. Make Anduin a King again, Find him a Bride, and give him a successor. probably not this expansion probably in the future. Stormwind is not complete without it's rightful King.
He's not going to do anything while he's still so messed up. Bed her, maybe, but not a marriage, not without things being calmed down. There's a lot more to come, and not all of it good, I'm afraid.
I don't know if this is a dumb question or not, but will this be exclusive to the Alliance? I'm a Horde player, didn't the Beta the actually "judge" but the quests looks way more centered around the alliance than the horde. I always read every single dialogue and do every quest while leveling and if this is just for the alliance, guess I'll be doing loremaster twice for this one.
Think this expansion will focus on the alliance and the next the horde. The third if I'm correct will then bring the two sides together either for just the expansion or permanently (till whenever that changes in the lore). Although it's my own opinion so take it with a grain of salt.
The deep state has poisoned every kind of entertainment there is with their agenda. They would bring Bliz down at this point if they didn't follow through, I'm sure of it.
When I saw the trailer For the War Within I didn't expect that Faerin would be such a kind and good and lovely person as she is here Im so happy that she is so good and again kind and likeable Like I was worried that from the way she looked in the trailer they would maker her to be this tipical holywood "strong female character" and not actually make her an actually good and kind and caring character. This is a suprise but a welcome one and since from the trailer seems like she will be a big deal Im happy to adventure with her throughout the expansion
Beledar. not azerite but close enough? it doesn't seem to be the cradle where azeroth could be lying. it looks and acts like a naaru. has elune made the naruu be made azerite and gave them her imbalance nature? or the lifeforce of azeroth? the whole expansion aside, the mystery of that goddamn dormant naruu is waaay more interesting.
too many spoilers from this guy, you could say don't watch it but his video does show up in my TH-cam thumbnails when I turn on TH-cam so I can see it and read it whether I want to or not so I'm going to block his pop ups so I can't see them
Huh? Where? When?? If anything, Faerin is the target, Alleria's married, and he knows it. Heck, her husband his holding down Anduin's throne right now while he "finds himself."
Not sure if is a good idea to replace every single notable character in WoW with females when 90 % + of your playerbase is male boomers and we already had some badass female characters is not like wow is lacking that but this is getting ridiculous and annoying ,i guess ill continue playing SoD .
as far as i know anduin only had 1 child and it was a human male, this one is supposed to be half elf half human, but i never heard of Anduin Lothar having an adventure with an afro elf... are afro elfs even a thing in medieval fantasy?..
I haven't kept up with the wow story in many years. They probably wrote him out of the story because a Guardian is powerful enough to solve almost any problem, which makes it increasingly more difficult to come up with reasons not to include him in conflicts, and the writing becomes repetitive.
She doesn't look ugly at all. She looks like a seasoned warrior/paladin, but she doesn't look ugly. But I agree that somehow her voice doesn't match her looks.
@@Solo_Travelingperhaps beauty is subjective but generally she is considered ugly, mad ugly in my opinion, plus she lost an arm and an eye and has that haircut, she just needs a wheelchair to tick all the inclusion boxes
evemtually i do believe it is a tip of a sword. I mean it looks like it's a tip of a sword right ? Also i agree that it is covered in smth which could explain why sometimes there is a darkness and sometimes not. It could be some kind of mother earth protection but getting weaker due to some circumstances. It make sense.
I'll at least give them that too. From the cinematic, she looked angry. So I almost thought the in-game version was someone else entirely. Still not going to buy the game though.
After Mists of Pandaria and Legion World of Warcraft isn't worth the cost. Mists of Pandaria introduced a brand new part of that world and Legion had a legitimate threat which lead to the death of two leaders. After that this claim of the world ending is stupid like in Shadowlands especially given the the fact that the jailor obtained all the sigils and still lost as well as the fact that Azeroth is fine after there is no more lich king even though Uther claimed the scourge would annihilate the world if there was no lich king. Now it's just a bland story. There are two other points I will make in separate comments as well.

Why are you applying modern concepts of governing to a medieval kingdom? She totally has the right to the throne of humanity itself even above that of Anduin solely because of that name she carries. I don't really care where they go with the story since its been all over the place ever since the "original" trilogy ended with the death of Lich King but your exactly the same as people calling this woke. Everyone knows why they made this character and why they are destroying all the old ones. Every single male in the story is either gone or useless and every male still around is either replaced or will be replaced with a woman. F hypocrites seriously calling out "lOUd mINorITy" while ignoring the obvious focus on identity politics over actual story...
sigh - Is this entire expansion going to be listening to Anduin whine and bitch about how worthless and unworthy he is and being genreally worthless - yet at the same time trying to demand things like a king?
That shit's gonna get real old, real quick.
Yes it is anything that has to do with Anduin is like this always has been he's to much of a reactive character Him being anything like his father the true king would be to much to ask for.
This is why I hate modern wow story. They massacred old characters to shove in the narrative how they are useless and strong female champs will save the day. Its riddicilous.
Women will boss him around and be generally better than him, also. Preferably not white. Because of course there are dark skinned people living underground.

Bruh "Is this your king?" ahhh cinematic
lmao i cant with blizzard i fkn cant
Faerin in game > Feminine sounding VA(nice choice btw), sounds like a cleric of justice , hope and light
Faerin in blizz cinematic trailer > ''AYO HOMEBOY! CMERE AND GIB ME KISS ON MY HOT MOUTH! IM FEELING ROMANTICAL!!!''
Without knowing anything, I bet khad isn't dead but is in the void, probably on the ethereal homeworld, considering their heavy use recently.
I'm mad they gave Faerun that basic yee yee ahh haircut they gave every black person on T.V in the 80s and 90s
Tbf it makes sense to give her a simple haircut (this coming from someone who would have loved to see an intricate hairstyle on a black character). From her characterization so far she's someone who's quick to jump into the fray (and having long hair can be really annoying/inconvenient on a battlefield full of dust, bugs, blood & gore), she's missing an arm so maintenance would be more difficult, and it actually goes well with the scars on her face (one on her right side, just below her haircut; makes sense she'd make it symmetrical). I get why some people were anxious about her character before alpha started (what with the girlboss trend that literally has women just be assholes 24/7 with no character progression and claims it's empowering) but she's been awesome from the first quest we see her in up until now (waiting to see how the expansion goes, we've yet to get to see her at her lowest since that's the one thing she's missing right now)
It's because blizzard are closet racists. They always go for the most stereotypical depiction of people of color. Just look at the artwork for her and see how they paint her with exaggerated racial characteristics.
Iam Faerin..iam the token black amputee chick that ticks two boxes at once. I know it makes no sense that the let someone with just one arm fight in a war at the dfront lines and not in a position that wozuld not endanger other there..but hey for some reason i am better then other fighter with both arms that are fighting as long as i do.
They did something similar with Dragon Age Inquisition. It’s quite obnoxious.
It's High Fantasy man, the least crazy thing in this universe is that an amputee can be a good fighter. She's a Paladin, she doesn't need 2 arms to be better than most magic-less fighters.
This is some netflix + disney sh....stuff, the characters I mean....If you know what I mean.
This is perfect.. can't wait to play! Nice to see other sides Of Azeroth, or underground Azeroth! :D
So the women of Azeroth are running the show now.
Misogyny is pretty wasteful when the name of the game somewhere is survival. What would you have them do? Make sandwiches and knit sweaters? Grow up.
@@viastephtop Yes, who is keeping the Home safe? Who is Nuturing?
@@viastephtop every time you force wmn into a mle role, you claim Fmnnity as wrthless.
@@viastephtop when the king has fallen and their soldiers sacrifice their very own lives to protect what they love, women take arms in a last ditch effort to protect what they cherish and hold dearest.
@@HunnysPlaylists maybe it isnt about roles but what needs to be done, in a game or irl
Making Anduin miserable after Shadowlands is pathetic. Blizzard should start making Anduin a proper King again. Stop making anduin full of doubt and make him grow up. I understand to develop a character but how long is anduin going to be like this. Make Anduin a King again, Find him a Bride, and give him a successor. probably not this expansion probably in the future. Stormwind is not complete without it's rightful King.
you cant have strong men in the new woke world..all strong characters must be female
i swear to god if they have Anduin marry this Lothar woman instead of Taelia......
They probably will
@@Mafalenano please 😂
if Faerin and Anduin are a couple, i am giving up on the lore atp
And thus the shipping war commences once again.....
He's not going to do anything while he's still so messed up. Bed her, maybe, but not a marriage, not without things being calmed down. There's a lot more to come, and not all of it good, I'm afraid.
Hey,you!You are finally awake!
This doesnt even feel like warcraft anymore
It isn't...Wish everyone would just cancel their subs and just let it die
I don't know if this is a dumb question or not, but will this be exclusive to the Alliance? I'm a Horde player, didn't the Beta the actually "judge" but the quests looks way more centered around the alliance than the horde. I always read every single dialogue and do every quest while leveling and if this is just for the alliance, guess I'll be doing loremaster twice for this one.
So???
@@ananyamukherjee6944 so it's boring as hell because Alliance sucks
Think this expansion will focus on the alliance and the next the horde. The third if I'm correct will then bring the two sides together either for just the expansion or permanently (till whenever that changes in the lore). Although it's my own opinion so take it with a grain of salt.
The Horde is barn animals, primitives, dead people, and addicts. Their lives and views aren't interesting.
thumbnail looks like will smith xD
metzen's return made no difference, WoW is still going down the mandated DEI route. sad to see really the trash fire that it has become.
Ya, there's no way one man can fix all that.
So go away if you’re this unhappy about diversity. The less of you white supremacists infesting the fandom, the better.
@@Ultimaton100 Mental illness is real. You're a prime example of what's wrong with the modern human.
The deep state has poisoned every kind of entertainment there is with their agenda. They would bring Bliz down at this point if they didn't follow through, I'm sure of it.
When I saw the trailer For the War Within I didn't expect that Faerin would be such a kind and good and lovely person as she is here Im so happy that she is so good and again kind and likeable
Like I was worried that from the way she looked in the trailer they would maker her to be this tipical holywood "strong female character" and not actually make her an actually good and kind and caring character.
This is a suprise but a welcome one and since from the trailer seems like she will be a big deal Im happy to adventure with her throughout the expansion
Can we upload game cutscene clip in our channel and make our channel monitized?
Another surprise voice role from Cam Clarke!
So Khadgar is really dead L
That or he's just knocked out, hostage of Xal/Nerubians.
what weapon illusion are you using?
Beledar. not azerite but close enough? it doesn't seem to be the cradle where azeroth could be lying. it looks and acts like a naaru. has elune made the naruu be made azerite and gave them her imbalance nature? or the lifeforce of azeroth? the whole expansion aside, the mystery of that goddamn dormant naruu is waaay more interesting.
Bring our warchief back #bringbacksylvanas
Oh my Sargeras! A little bit of Fel would be nice!
I feel like the dialog has gotten better..
too many spoilers from this guy, you could say don't watch it but his video does show up in my TH-cam thumbnails when I turn on TH-cam so I can see it and read it whether I want to or not so I'm going to block his pop ups so I can't see them
LIQUID SNAKE VOICE ACTOR *runs in circles*
Thank you for this comment, it was driving me crazy trying to place the voice lol
he voices half the characters in wow.
This music is... WOW
WE WUZ LOTHARS N SHIET
lmao this. exactly
No audio?
Lamplighter? I kept thinking about The Boys!
RIP WOW :(
They really need to let this game just end and create a new IP lol. .
The fun of the game and characters is insignificant. The MESSAGE is the point of everything.
Anduin crying all expansion? Thats new!
the irony of Faerin being a lamp lighter ;)
Faerin is such a shit character...they kill off all the old cool characters with bad writing and the new ones are just DEI clown fiesta.
Exactly. This "Lothar" hits all the checkboxes… Black, woman, crippled, strong, masculine and feminine at the same time.
Sword? what sword?
what the hell happened to khadgar? I havent played in a few years
He may have been crippled by Xal'atath (remember the void knaifu?)
I was expecting the one handed lady to be tough instead we got a pookie
AWWWW ANDUIN MAKING A PLAY FOR ALLERIA…
First Sylvanas now her.. DUDES A PLAYER
Huh? Elaborate
Huh? Where? When?? If anything, Faerin is the target, Alleria's married, and he knows it. Heck, her husband his holding down Anduin's throne right now while he "finds himself."
@@charlayned Ye exactly they Anduin and Faerin are softly flirting with each other especially later
@@Pigraider268 ewe wtf
Faerin too preachy
ever spoke to someone in emotional need?
@@nataschajordan6053 yeah I don’t talk like a Disney character, this is not how real ppl talk. Way to thumbs up your own comment btw
Not sure if is a good idea to replace every single notable character in WoW with females when 90 % + of your playerbase is male boomers and we already had some badass female characters is not like wow is lacking that but this is getting ridiculous and annoying ,i guess ill continue playing SoD .
actually most of the player base is LGBTQ alphabet people now. Most of the male boomers quit.
Alleria voice, is so hot
Why is Anduin Ltohar's child a black woman?
as far as i know anduin only had 1 child and it was a human male, this one is supposed to be half elf half human, but i never heard of Anduin Lothar having an adventure with an afro elf... are afro elfs even a thing in medieval fantasy?..
She was in the oven for more than 9 months... don't ask questions, just consume product, and be excited for next product.
Because she's not his child.
Because of the crystal 🤣 Free Solarium
Distant cousin
One of many DEI characters that will break the lore and make no sense. Anything for the message tho....
Lothar? Riiiight lol
The more it goes the more the story is turning to bullshit…
Faerin is the worst character WoW has ever written, and that's saying a lot.
Wait did Khadgar die?
Yes got rocked by a rogue before he could ice block
@@JermaineMorgan Please someone actually tell me what really happened to mi boi
@@TheItalianiancommenter Nothing. He's just too old to travel.
Dally was destroyed, so it seems. Not sure about Khadgar's statues, but I hope not.
I haven't kept up with the wow story in many years. They probably wrote him out of the story because a Guardian is powerful enough to solve almost any problem, which makes it increasingly more difficult to come up with reasons not to include him in conflicts, and the writing becomes repetitive.
Holy crap. The black woman says she’s not a cat person? WOW black racial stereotypes.
At least she didn't twerk on a horse and carriage while her friends looted the general goods shop.
Faerin does not sound as ugly as she looks lol she sounds like a blood elf
She doesn't look ugly at all. She looks like a seasoned warrior/paladin, but she doesn't look ugly. But I agree that somehow her voice doesn't match her looks.
@@Solo_Travelingperhaps beauty is subjective but generally she is considered ugly, mad ugly in my opinion, plus she lost an arm and an eye and has that haircut, she just needs a wheelchair to tick all the inclusion boxes
@@Solo_TravelingI was expecting Samuel L Jackson’s voice
@@Solo_Traveling Bruh, it's an Orc
@@VegetoStevieD No she most definitely is not an orc lol.
a Lothar....really? lol
Anduin be tapping Faerin fr
so it's the tip of the sword covered in azerite?
Nop, it's another thing that was here before the sword
Yeah, no. That crystal has been there since before the Arathi arrived according to Blizzard.
evemtually i do believe it is a tip of a sword. I mean it looks like it's a tip of a sword right ? Also i agree that it is covered in smth which could explain why sometimes there is a darkness and sometimes not. It could be some kind of mother earth protection but getting weaker due to some circumstances. It make sense.
what hapent to captain falric
Kackgar wouldn't know a thing
The music is so beautiful!
World of Vagcraft
At least they gave the Angry Black Woman™ character a soft, feminine voice. Would've been very annoying otherwise.
They dub our voices over theirs for TV commercials too, so they sound more human
It isnt now?
I'll at least give them that too. From the cinematic, she looked angry. So I almost thought the in-game version was someone else entirely. Still not going to buy the game though.
Did Khadgar die?
After Mists of Pandaria and Legion World of Warcraft isn't worth the cost. Mists of Pandaria introduced a brand new part of that world and Legion had a legitimate threat which lead to the death of two leaders. After that this claim of the world ending is stupid like in Shadowlands especially given the the fact that the jailor obtained all the sigils and still lost as well as the fact that Azeroth is fine after there is no more lich king even though Uther claimed the scourge would annihilate the world if there was no lich king. Now it's just a bland story. There are two other points I will make in separate comments as well.
Im really sad about Khadgar I knew it was coming but still :(
Classic legion hype
