type of shit shakespeare would have cooked up if he was born in 1980
>>737666052There’s not enough tragedy for it to be truly Shakespearean. To be Shakespearean the ghost of the dead king would’ve had to appear before Anduin to incite him into taking revenge, then he would’ve ironically repeated Arthas’ mistakes into his quest for revenge, then he would kill Arthas only to fall in some sort of dramatic way at the end. But it’s semi Shakespearean. It had some hints of it. They could’ve kept going in that direction but the modern writer and the average narrative lead working at blizzard is utterly incapable of going full Shakespeare because it goes against every modern sensibility
this entire board must be Purged
>>737666308shakespeare wrote slop of his eramodern writers write slop of our eranothing has changed
my life is the type of shit shakespeare would have cooked up if he was born in 1993
>>737666052>type of shit shakespeare would have cooked up if he was born in 1980how about this shit right here>>737666308>There’s not enough tragedy for it to be truly Shakespearean.
>>737666775Hell yeah, was thinking of that series. Shame what happened to it though.
>>737666470You have brainrot
>>737666775Should I get the lok 1+2 collection or did this image ruin the game for me?
>>737668091nigger you've had like 28 years to play the game what were you waiting for
>>737668214I never cared about it until two posters described it as Shakespearean
>>737667614He is correct. Shakespeare's work was for the plebian masses, churning out one hastily cobbled together script a week to push out a new play every month
>>737668091Do it. Then you will have the context.
>>737668694For England, Anon?
>>737670657>006 answered with his life!
>>737668293a pleb in shakespeares time was 100x more intelligent than the average person in 2026
>>737671860Fair point.
thinking warcraft writing is some sort of highbrow art is how you know you're talking to a retard
Shakespeare didn't end his tragedies on cliffhangers than make you pay for an expansion that ends on another cliffhanger that then requires you to pay a monthly subscription and two more expansions to finally see the embarrassing final act.
>>737667614modern soap operas are 1:1 Shakespeare, lots of meaningless drama and ass pulls for the sake of making the retards in the audience clap at the credits I have no idea why he gets praised so highly
>>737666052It's sad that people sincerely believe this.
>>737672397What's meaningful drama? What are some examples of a Shakespearean ass pull?
>>737668293he laid the groundwork for all modern slop and for that I hate him
/v/ once again proving themselves for the retards they are
>>737666052If he did nothing EVERY single Human diesIt was inevitable
Why didn't Medivh explain what... you know... what the fuck was going on? Like he's effectively omniscient and knows the plot before it happens, but he never tells anybody and just spends the game being crpytic because... ?>My lord, you must gather all of your gorillion people and travel to the holy land...>Okay, uh, why?>Well fuck you then you stupid faggot, if you will not drink from this cup then I'll find somebody who will, cocksucker motherfuckerGenuinely what was this nigga's major malfunction?
>>737676239they kicked him out before allowing him to explain.
>>737676239I think it was said that he was under restrictions due to how he came back to life. Also there is the whole being responsible for opening the dark portal thing and everyone that knew him being aware of that.
>>737666052>literature class in 2400>When going against Arthas, why didn't Uther just say "You're not my king yet, boy"?>What's the significance of the other sentence? >I know, miss!>Because he felt others can think it's a bitch nigga thing to say and he wanted everyone to know that he wouldn't do bad things even when the king told him.>That's right, Dovahkiin! You get an A+
>>7376762391. Everyone knows medivh was a bad guy so if he tells them who he is nobody would listen2. You don't know that he's omniscient, maybe what he knows is vague or just one step ahead of everyone else. If he knew exactly what would happen why would he tell anyone? He already knows what they're going to do.
>>737672397same reasons chess and books are popular with normalfags, they give the veneer of intelligence and sophistication
>>737676456Not really. He and the king go back and forth and then he just mutters some nonsense and leaves.>>737676473Maybe, but he eventually reveals himself at the end anyway. Like what the fuck was he afraid of? Being a former bad guy with some credibility and going into very specific detail is better than being a literally who spouting ambiguous nonsense.Also I personally don't really buy the whole "they would've recognized me" excuse. Like dude, use a different name. You can literally shapeshift. What the fuck is going on? I can't take anything in Warcraft seriously. Every character is either a retard or an asshole, or a retarded asshole. Like who am I supposed to give a shit about? I don't fucking care if Lordaeron gets its shit imploded.Not to mention Legion basically retcons everything.>Uh, actually, Medivh was a good guy all along! He was actually being mindraped and that's why he opened the portal!>mfw
>>737671860what makes you think that?
>>737676239>>737677295>crazy homeless guy breaks into your house and tells you that you need to move to mongolia because it's the only way to save yourself from the apocalypseWould you listen to him?
>>737677193Effectively omniscient, in that he knows exactly whatever he needs to know whenever he needs to know in order for the plot to conveniently play out without there having to be any coordination or effort by the writers.But I'll be more specific;>He knows exactly what is going on, who is doing it, and how to fix itAnd instead of laying that shit out in great detail, he just keeps telling people to pack their shit up and sail west.
>>737666052played this earlier today :)more people should get on and play customs
>>737676239>hey guys, its me, the evil wizard that let the orcs with demon magic come into our world and start 2 world wars, you should totally just evacuate and leave your kingdoms and fuck off west, theres a continent there, trust me bro.They were never going to believe or listen to him, and who could blame them? It would be like if you listened to your local crack head that went on a shooting spree. He gave them a chance to listen and fucked off to find someone who would.
>>737677423>And instead of laying that shit out in great detail, he just keeps telling people to pack their shit up and sail west.You know people irl believed in religious prophets even vaguer than that for thousands of years right
>>737676239>My lord, you must gather all of your gorillion people and travel to the holy land...>Okay, uh, why? And who the fuck are you anyways?>oh me? You may remember when Hitler got possessed by the antichrist, opened a portal to the homeland of the demon worshipping orcs, and was killed by the heroes of the Alliance? I am that Hitler.
>>737677420No, but the devil's in the detail. He knew about the plague, he knew about the Lich King, he knew what the endgame was. Start describing that shit and offering up real solutions. Gotta meet these people halfway, not offer up extremes with no context. Weirdest part is that Medivh is supposed to be a highly intelligent, knowledgeable wizard, and instead he acts like, well, a crazy homeless guy lol.I fucking wish you got to kill his bitch ass again, as Arthas.Shit nigga he could've told Teneras, Uther, Jaina, Arthas, and everybody else from timbucktu that the grain was infected. Instead he goes Orson Welles on everybody about boarding ships to some fucking arab land.Talk about inventing a problem so you can take credit for solving it. I swear to god this dude is a supporting antagonist, again.
>>737677684>He knew about the plague, he knew about the Lich King, he knew what the endgame was.What are you basing this on
>>737677646And when they stopped believing, what do you think happened? They started getting more and more specific, because it's more convincing.Christ, just look at the New Testament. No pun intended.
>>737666480Undereataed post. Here have a (you).
>>737677684He knew that the Burning Legion was coming to fuck the planet up. There's no indication he knew the finer details of the plan. His idea was go to Kalimdor and team up with the Night Elves to prepare for Archimonde (and probably Kil'jaeden) inevitably being summoned in.
>>737677684medivh actually was just a retard stirring shit up without any actual information or a solid planthe 100% made shit worse
>>737677746>>737677904He teases multiple times that he knows what's happening, beyond the overarching plot, which eventually becomes a nothingburger in the overarching embarrassment that is World of Warcraft, which itself confirms that Medivh knew literally everything about what was happening leading up to the Third War, but that's a story for another time...>Just remember, the harder youstrive to slay your enemies, the faster you'll deliver your people right intotheir hands.Undead/Plague>Your young prince will find only death in the cold north... his passions will be his undoing.Lich King>He (Hellscream) is the key to the destiny I promised you.Mannoroth's deathNot to mention the entire prologue is about Medivh talking about him having seen the future and projecting visions onto Thrall, which along with everything else ultimately makes his ending monologue a bit ironic, but fuck it I guess.
>>737678354nta but i'd rather believe medivh is just overplaying his hand and that is why he doesn't do as much instead of just being literally fucking retarded and refusing to do shit for no reason.it just makes 0 sense how he acts if he really did know everything.
>>737676239You forget that medivh is a crazy wizard ghost
>>737672397>I have no idea why he gets praised so highlybecause he invented all that shit those TV shows do, hundreds of years ago
>>737678354>Just remember, the harder you>strive to slay your enemies, the faster you'll deliver your people right into>their hands.>Undead/Plague>>Your young prince will find only death in the cold north... his passions will be his undoing.>Lich KingAnon if he knew exactly what was going to happen why would he try to convince arthas?
