When I saw Garona's picture in the WC1 manual, I disliked her character right there.
If you look closly, you can see right through her cloths, which made me think she was the "naked bad-ass rogue chick" of WoW, somthing to the effect of various movies.Perfectly acceptable reason there. And no, I'm not kidding. That's a genuine reason to not like a character. You only get one first impression.
I also hated her plain bastard-race. The manual clearly says she came from Dreanor, which makes no sence how she could age to where she was, even if a orc raped a human at the start of the invasion. Dreanor and Azeroth had zero links to each other.Well, originally there was like 16 years between the opening of the Dark Portal and the First War.
Sorry, Adams, but this is my diffenition of a poorly drawn character.Except that those loose ends were actually tied up.
She is part Dreanei, ruining all that "he made me feel human" and "The only human who listened to me when I talked, I have to kill... no."Well, when the Last Guardian was written, she
was
half-human canonically... :P And post-retcon, she still believed she was half-human growing up.
And now Blizzard is retconing everything about her to make her feel more sympitical is going on.
She could not control her self when she killed Llane.
She was born of rape and abused every day of her life.
She had absoluly no one to look up to.
She gave birth to the person who will save the world.
Sorry, but... no.Fine to dislike a character for retcon reasons, I suppose. That's most of the reason I hated Med'an. (Although he's growing on me, I think... :P)
The thing that bug me about your hating of Garona is how much you want Varian to kill her. She doesn't deserve to be killed if you take the new information into account.

Sorry Adams, I have a lot of respect for you, just not this little punk.Your opinion man, and no one asks you to love every warcraft hero. Just to consider things is all.
But I've been wondering, even more so now; Med'an, the protector of the World.... or the Destroyer? Or at least, the Destroyer if Sargeras hadn't been killed in the body of Medivh. We know he's powerful, but if Medivh had never died, how long until he would have killed Garona and raised the boy to be the next vessel of the Demon lord?

No, he's talking about Garona.

I just had a thought, about Med'an. It seems possible to me that Med'an's birth was orchestrated by Sargeras through Medhiv. After all, he's descendant from 3 of the most powerfull mortal races, all adept at magic of any kind and his father was/is argueably the most powerfull mortal to have ever lived.
If you were Sargeras and needed a new body as a host, wouldn't you try to obtain or, if necessary, arrange a host that holds the power of some of the more notable races that thwarted your plans in the past?
Just throwing it out there, but it seems possible to me and I really want Sargeras to step back into the spotlight.

It's possible, but I think he needs to pull the same kind of trick he did on Agewynn; forcing them to kill him when he's prepared for it so that he'll be able to travel into the new body. I think Khadgar and Lothar killing the body caught Sargeras off by guard, and he didn't have time for a final spell.

Aye that's what I think too, but I had just thought about it and hadn't worked out the details yet. :)
Eventhough things didn't go exactly as he planned, the idea that Med'an exists because of Sargeras opens the way to an epic final confrontation.

This is actually something I'd love to see. But, I think that in killing Med'an(possessed by Sargeras) you may not actually be killing Sargeras, but only the host body.
I'm on the bandwagon of "we'll never see the end of Sargeras", but I could definitely see him possessing Med'an for a final confrontation for WoW's lifetime.

I'd rather see a chaotic neutral Med'an than a chaotic/lawful evil one.

Not true lore as such... but /happy dance. Series 5 of the WoW Figures is out in Dec and one of those are Lo'gosh! Oh happy day! No King Chin for me, but the true Spirit Wolf heh. Anyways, there's also Illidan in Demon Form, a Night Elf huntress and a Ghoul.

You know... this might be my bias showing, but I'm a little miffed that Varian was named Lo'Gosh by the Orc, Troll, and Tauren audience of the Crimson Ring.
I just don't see members of the Horde giving that name to a Human.
It sort of makes me wonder why they didn't call Rexxar Lo'Gosh...

Because the comics were poorly written and full of quite frankly, ridiculous ideas and titles.

Also:
Oh I forgot to add. You can't kill Saurfang. When he reaches a certain point, he just lays the smacksdown on the entire raid. We found that out the hard way by pouring massive DPS on him. Nope, didn't work.

I think I like Saurfang more than Thrall, actually... :P Just by a little.

Wait a minute, the aim is to destroy the enemy ship = Explosion.
Saurfang,
PLEASE ESCAPE

Saurfang survived the Death Star explosion. As a matter of fact, he cause the Death Star explosion. None of this "two proton torpedos into their exhaust pipe" bull$%^&.

I think Saurfang killed 2pac and Biggie

And Archduke Ferdinand, of course.
He's a hardass.
Hogger and Mr. Smite are the only ones said to have survived one of his cleaves.
Post by

Only because of Smite's prone use of improvisation. He used Cookie as a meat shield.
