      It only lasted 30 days with the storm tiger guy because he has lightning immunity and lei shen had to beat him into submission with just his fists. The other 3 weren’t mentioned because lei shen just used lightning to clap them in like 2 seconds, so they weren’t worth talking about.

    Actually, the Thunder King was foreshadowed and hinted at throughout the expansion, when finally he was revealed to have been revived in one patch. I seriously wonder why the Thunder King didn’t try to use his power to unite all of Azeroth instead of just ruling Pandarea. The guy could have armed the entire planet against all the external threats, or at least bolster its defenses, but I guess that would have not made him look much like a villain. Would actually have been cooler if the Mogu were playable with the the Thunder King being their leader, their race being wholly neutral with the players serving as mercenaries or something. But that would have been way too cool, right? Ugh, why does this game have to fall so short of everything it could be.

While yes there are examples of weak titan watcher as you fight some of them as trash mobs (although players were not only powerful themselves but also had the strongest weapons in lore and they were empowered), some titan watchers are actually really strong. Remember titan watchers fought equally and eventually defeated the elemental lords, are you implying that Lich King could fight Ragnaros in a 1v1 and win ?
      Especially when you consider the fact that wild gods, althought vary in strength there are some good examples. Malorne who fought archimonde and Sethralis who fought Mythrax, and her own self destruction, annihilated the entire Vol'Dun area similar to what happened to Uldum.

      @@karerabbe7829 Lei Shen may not be able to beat ragnaros but he is for sure on a tier of the strongest beings in azeroth. He beat 4 wild gods. There are examples where wild gods are actually pretty strong considering the many characters warcraft has. Sethralis as i mentioned blasted the entire zone of vol'dun. Pretty much the same things that happened with Uldum. So Lei Shen fought 4 wild gods who should be on that level of strength more or less. Lich King never did anything close to that.
      If you think LK would beat Archimonde, you are so wrong. Based on what exactly ? Archimonde and Kil'jaeden never feared the LK himself. Its his army that is a problem. To give you an idea how strong Archimonde and Kil'jaeden is. Only they could defeatt Azshara pre-N'zoth power up. She shielded her palace during the Sundering for quite some time, and thats insane considering the sundering had enough force to split continents. You realise how big that feat is ? And Malorne fought Archimonde who is superior to that level of power ? Yeah Lei Shen is an absolute beast and LK is no where near close to that level. Dont confuse powerscaling with how much better character he is
      Another thing to note. If you think Ra-Den is weak you have no idea, he together with Helya forged the 4 elemental planes and sealed, the elements (including Ragnaros and the others) in those pocket dimensions. So Lei-Shen also has enough power to create a pocket dimension at least a small one (not saying that he could make another elemental plane by himself but since it was only Ra and Helya he should have at least half the power required to create one)
      You also avoided the question : Could LK beat Ragnaros ? You just responded with another question about Lei-Shen if he could beat Ragnaros. The answer is simple if Lei-Shen cant, LK definetely cant do shit against any of the elemental Lords. Atleast Lei-Shen can fight for some time considering he has powers of a titan watcher who fought these elemental lords

      Might be conflicting sources. Pandaria had a lot of stories like that where there were many legends about certain events went. I recall the Thundering Mountain-scenario being how the tale was told in-game before the Chronicles.

    Michael Stackpole wrote some TERRIFIC novels for BATTLETECH back 30 years ago.
    They certainly took the universe in a decided direction that was overpowering to the entire genres storyline.
    But never the less stories were great reads. Combined with William Keiths novels, wich you should read first as they are smaller in scope, and you have great stories to read.

    Thunder King story is both in books and in game just talk to Lorewalker Cho, lore like this and chronicles actually make sense being in a book since they happen long before the story of the playable game, current one is the one that should be all in game but adding cutscenes for everything isn't a good solution, instead the story can be told by the npc in game as things happen preferably with voice acting, this way people can know the story without breaking the flow of the game.
    Also it perfectly normal for it to be anima both in Azeroth and SL since races in Azeroth didn't had access or much knowledge about SL.

    I might be a history nerd but I think, Lei Shen story is basically based on Emperor of Qin Shi Huang, founder of the Qin dynasty who unified all independent kingdoms in the present area, China to Da Qin (Qin Dynasty) much like constant state at war with each other Mogus. Even serpent spine, is Great Wall of China and the end of Lei Shen at forge of origination that led Mogu Empire never recovered again, much like fall of Qin dynasty after Emperor Qin Shi died.
    Don't get me wrong, I love Lei Shen story so much.

    • @EmperorPylades
      @EmperorPylades 2 года назад

      I thought the same thing back during MoP. If you're going to base a villain for a China themed expansion on anyone, then go for one of the best.
      Qin Shi Huang is a historic figure I find fascinating, as an example of how sometimes, you need a monster to get things done. Nobody but a maniacal tyrant would have been willing to bust heads and conquer by force to end the Warring States period.

      No. I think the only physical duck reference is the Legion fishing bobber. Other than that, it's possible that there's a cooked duck food item, or a duck float that goblins use in their pools.
      I think you're talking about the shore birds in Legion and BfA. Sandpipers, not ducks.
