Imagine going to a party and the white suburban stay at home mom with two overachiever kids and white dad who barbeques but doesn’t know how to barbeque and yet is always surrounded by other white Dads who compliment his barbqeuing even though they’re just store bought preshaped frozen patties from Ralph’s or Food 4 Less and while he’s cooking those the white mom comes out and says “okay kids, here’s some pizza!” And she pulls this out and starts telling the kids why its a “fun pizza” and then cries in her master bedroom when no one likes it or finishes it and the white dad is then consoling her why she sobs that she’s a terrible mother and ruined her fourth grade straight B+ sons birthday and thinks her kids hate her but they don’t care but she continues crying softly into her pillow while the children eat poorly cooked burgers with unmelted kraft singles and too much mayonnaise and the only other condiments are two pickles and pepper because the dad calls it his special burger with a secret spice but the spice was just pepper and the kids just keep playing E rated games on their Nintendo Wii while the 17 year old older sister starts cleaning the tragedy up and throwing away uneaten “fun pizza” and whole burgers dejected from the start while she dials Pizza Hut to get these kids an actual birthday lunch and the mother then throws a fit because the daughter did something the kids liked and she didn’t and was the only one making a huge deal out of it and the daughter was then grounded from her TV in her room for only two days and the son went to blow out the candles in his standard birthday cake from food 4 less the mom added strawberries to so she could feel she did something but was still slightly teary and sad because her day was ruined by no one wanting to eat her “fun pizza”

im terrified at how spot on this was…………………………………………………….

I feel like the reason Warlords is also falling so flat (story-wise) is b/c there’s no risk or emotion? Especially considering characters, at least. Velen dies? Oh, okay – it’s just AU Velen, no big. Doomhammer’s dead? Eh, so is ours. Etc.
Sure, it’d really blow if this Draenor got destroyed, but our Draenor is already destroyed, so what does it matter? It’s not “ours.”

Whereas the emotional significance of the Vale – our Vale – was devestating when Garrosh destroyed it. SoO ran on for too long – that’s hardly inarguable – but it had emotional significance. Nazgrim, the Klaxxi, the end-cutscene, etc… not to mention, in general, Pandaria was a new place that we ended up destroying, with new, “real" characters: the mantid, Chen Stormstout, the Golden Lotus (who all pretty much died!), Taran Zhu, etc. Then we had Anduin and his story arc, and Wrathion’s, too. We got connected to them, and I think it’s difficult to get connected to the WoD characters because they just don’t matter as much because they’re AUs. MoP was risky and it was emotional.

And Warlords just isn’t. Because it’s a repeat of history. We know what’s going to happen, more or less, and it doesn’t matter if AU Draenor, or its AU versions of character, dies.

Khadgar is fun, but there’s only so much of this story he can hold on his shoulders. Idk.
