Is she? She was established for a very specific priest spec and then she was a random quest in the next expansion. That is totally fine but I wouldn't say she's established amazingly. Iridikron is established in a better way. I wouldn't mind her being a mastermind manipulator behind the scenes but once again, it concerns past events before she was introduced in any shape or form. I'm just waiting to find out she was manipulating Jailer. The only reason why people say otherwise is because they sexualised her. She's as bad as Jailer when it comes to writing.
@@krzysztofczajka6752 Cynicism has its place, but I think you're being disingenuous here. If we condemn flavor added in one-off books as something that can't be drawn into something bigger, I think the lore would lose a lot of depth. Her quest in BfA was anything but random, it was the introductory quest for an entire raid and set up plot elements for the final boss of the expansion. And if we say that every new villain or aspect of lore must exist as an independent entity and not concern events established prior to their introduction, then every future expansion and addition to the story will look like Shadowlands. Remember, all of the Primal Incarnates were asspulled at the start of Dragonflight, and Iridikron's development as a future villain is deeply linked to Xal'atath. Also, she isn't sexualized by Blizzard. The community's perception of her has nothing to do with how Blizzard writes her.
as alwys the big bad has connections to EVERYBODY xD Starting with Wrath the main Villain is responsible for everything. That is something I liked better in BC since there sure there was the Legion as big bad but there was not that "one cellebrity" who did everything and suddenly the whole world was shaped by that villain. and everthing is connected to that villain. BC had Keal'Thas, Illidan and Kil'Jaeden and non of them were the "emperor of all" I like it better when the villain pulls the strings behind the curtains and his minions are kind of opposing forces with different interests to some extent.
Awesome vid! I love all the Lore! Great vid, liked & subbed! Keep up the good work!
Really excited for Xal'atath. She's been established so well over the years compared to a few other "mastermind manipulator" villains.
