Don't be surprised if your fav doesn't get another season because of this release format. The binge format can work with HUGE shows but it is usually a death sentence for anything without a baked in audience.

I have seen a lot of folks defending the binge style of releasing shows because they enjoy it more. With respect, It doesn't really matter what you prefer - it's what's killing a lot of shows. You are free to consume media the way you want but be aware of the effects.

PRIN❌E OF DE AMANI It’s why I’m worried they’ll just have Vol’jin show up in the heritage quest, go “I’m back” and then they’ll shove the Darkspear back in the closet and ignore them thinking they’ve fixed their missteps.

PRIN❌E OF DE AMANI The fact it’s nearly been a decade and the plot hasn’t moved at all, if only regressed from BfA > Shadowlands and they’ve never bothered to give an ounce of writing to the Darkspear dealing with it is absurd.

This is what happens when you provide PROPER enrichment and STIMULATING enclosures for your animals!!! You get to see them exhibit some truly wonderful natural behaviors like this excavator here:

Like there are so many of these added in DF which look cool JUST while you're standing still....but the moment you move they go all wonky and hug your legs

My kingdom for blizzard to attach greymane/nathanos cloak physics or orc heritage kilt physics to all these coats and kilts they keep making

(the one on the far right sticks to ur legs)

I love that the much loathed Mrs. Columbo spin-off where Columbo's wife divorces him and solves murders on her own is still technically canon as the story of an insane woman who pretends to be Mrs. Columbo

Change my mind that baby manatees are not the cutest animals to see in the wild!… 🥺😍❤️

It’s crazy that before becoming a tyrannical dictator, President Snow was Eminem.

Krexxal There are people turning 20 this year that weren't even born when wow released. There are adults that weren't even conceived. The fact people say 'you should have played when it was current' is so beyond brain dead.

Pressing on from WC3 into WoW world building, I genuinely like the Darkspear colours with the teal & orange accents, almost representative of them being more aligned with Island Trolls instead of just jungle trolls.

Outside of what I've noted above, the colours just miss the mark for me. The proper brown wood colouration with the coloured trims that are either red or Darkspear representative just would have been better to me
It seems like one of the other sets is Horde themed, so we'll see?

I finally had the presence of mind to talk about this properly other than scattered posts & retweets.

I don't think this set is far from amazing, it just missed the mark trying to do too much. Will explain as the thread goes on so inc🧵

In Super Mario 64, Bob-ombs will spontaneously explode if they approach signs. However, this only applies to signs with text on them; they are completely fine with arrow signs. This can be humorously interpreted as though Bob-ombs really hate reading.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Mueh’Zala, I love the Otherside! Imo those are the only two good things to have came from SL (IMO)

Varian got an honorable death (yes I know the history of his character), but Vol’jins feels reduced to storyline plot fodder.

Never forget what who they took from us. His death had no meaning. His narrative was misguided. 8+ years and all were given is a seed of rebirth and hope.

Vol’jin, narrative wise, was done dirty in a cutscene from a punkass fel guard.

Oh also dragon riding! Jesus Christ amazing

TLDR: this expansion cooked on every major cylinder except the story- which includes (, the overall tone and vibes of the xpac, its lore lore and paper thin world building (with a few exceptions))

So that’s like 5/8th a banger xpac
