No, watch videos of how bows actually work and with how much force an arrow impacts its target.

Unless Tyrande’s bow is a literal ballista, It won’t knock anybody back several dozen feet.

Say hello to an equivalent of the Welsh/English War longbow, upsized for a Night Warrior (have another look at the size of that arrow’s shaft and fletchings) at relatively close range (in the fog) and the force of impact as it hit Nathanos’ armour.
While it is possible to argue the distance might be slightly exaggerated for dramatic purposes, there is absolutely no doubt that a projectile that size, travelling at great velocity, is capable of lifting an undead human, clean off his feet and hurling him backwards.

I-Illidan-senpai~

At [BlizzCon 2016 Alex_Afrasiabi stated: " *Certain fiction exists outside the World of Warcraft that we love, but is it necessarily what we would consider canon? So Med’an as Guardian, isn’t considered canon in Warcraft lore, which is why in the last five years you haven’t seen a reference to him. Um, so, that doesn’t mean that there can’t be a story for Med’an, it’s just not like it was laid out in the comics. Afrasiabi later clarified that the character himself and the comic series are still canon, but him being Guardian isn’t.

Thats the equivalent of saying “ye hes canon because we created him. Afaik he will most certainly never show up because there is no need for him and hes also generally disliked”. Otherwise they would have taken him for Legion instead of having Khadgar completely replacing him as Medivhs successor (including the WCIII opening mimic)

Multiclass incoming to wow soon

if tyrande can be a priesthunterDH we can too

Dead or not, Nathanos has his entire body still and if you go by the average weight of a man between 40-60 years old would be 85-90kg. You will NEVER knock a person of that weight back 10+ meters like how what happened to Nathanos in the cinematic, especially not if you don’t even hit him center mass which means that the entire force of the shot isn’t directly impacting his body.

Video for a fairly decent comparison of what it’d look like to get hit by an arrow like that.

Plate armor or not; Clearly the force to send people flying just isn’t there.

Edit: Despite the risk of having people calling me sexist, I will still have to mention that there’s also the question of whether or not a woman such as Tyrande, who has been a PRIESTESS her entire life, is even remotely capable of shooting a 200-pound longbow (That accurately, too) in the first place.

There have been NPCs with multiclasses for ages tho

Excellent educational vid, I enjoyed it.
:+1:

However, Nathanos was not strapped to a post.

This vid does not prove that a Fantasy War Bow in the hands of the Night Warrior, could not knock a man violently off his feet and backwards.

19.46: ‘
it definitely knocks our guy back’
I accept your point about center mass.

I did point out that there was an argument for the result of the impact being exaggerated for dramatic effect.

Except
 she is not. She did not take up a power taboo to her people and get exiled for it. She dealt with the massacre of her people, not just a blow to her ego. She is not a petulant child unable to deal with the consequences of her alliances and the powers she chooses to pick up. Illidan never had a right to claim he was fighting for Azeroth, when he was actively antagonistic to everyone. Tyrande’s power is part of her Elune worship, whereas Illidan broke the laws of his people’s religion.

Just choosing recourse to a power source for the sake of vengeance/retribution does not make an Illidan. But I guess surface-level comparisons are all that matter.

She strikes me as being more similar to Phoenix in X-Men.

Or jinchuriki in Naruto.

Something where the power eventually takes hold, consuming the host.

Wouldn’t say it’s like Illidan.

She did however break another taboo. Killing a lot of Wardens and freeing someone that was according to them rightfully imprisoned. If not for Malfurion she would have been either A: Exiled or more likely B: Executed.

He simply didnt bow down to the idiotic rules of the nelfs.
