Lile Kael’thas, Blizzard did the Zandalari Empire (and trolls in general) a dirty!
But they needed to beat them down because the Horde was already winning the Fourth War, as Genn and Anduin state in one of the cinematics the Alliance was so desperate they were on the verge of conscripting the farmers to fight, and we all know how that is really, really bad.
Then later we see the Horde Loyalists are still strong enough to defeat the Grand Alliance and Horde Rebels prompting Saurfang to call for a mak’gora as a desperate last measure.
If the Horde got the Zandalari Empire at full strength? Humanity and night elves would be extinct by this point.
For once, I agree with you.
It was very anoying to see Jaina Proudmoore and Genn Greymane take centerstage in Nazjatar, instead of Tyrande Whisperwind, Malfurion Stormrage or Mordent Evenshade.
Atleast the Horde got Lor’themar Theron and Thalyssra Theron, which were appropriate.
I’m not an Alliance fanboy either. Please ignore my entire posts that show that I am.
I say I am not after all
Point in case, Thrall showing up everywhere in Cataclysm. Hamuul Runetotem bieng inserted in Cenarion (thus night elf) stories.
That’s true. Where’s the gnomes? Dwarves? Draenei??
Those were the Gurubashi tribe, and if Medivh didn’t go nuclear, they would have won.
Also, Llane was to blame for that, cuz his dad didn’t wanna fight with Jok’non, or later Zon’non, exactly because he knew how dangerous trolls were.
The problem is the Alliance is too squeeky clean, and even if the Alliance is the aggressor somewhere, it’s later retconned to have them be right.
The other problem is the Horde is too evil, whenever they invade somewhere they gleefully go on mass-murdering killing sprees that doesn’t spare civilians, children, or the innocent. And the few that go “hey, we might be going to far” are treated as outliers, and if they band together in a rebellion, they are still the smaller of two Hordes.
While technically correct that was not the intended outcome for the Alliance.
Now ofcourse we’re going with two contradicting scenarios, but in the Alliance raid Rastakhan was praised for the fight they gave the Alliance and offered that he could formally surrender without having to abdicate his throne, but he chose to fight to the death.
In the Horde scenario, the Alliance gleefully invaded, mocked the God-King and than laughed over his corpse.
We don’t know which one is true tho.
