Blizzard really put two villains with exposed pecs in one expansion, the true mark of villainy
Kil'jaeden is my favorite villain in Warcraft lore. Like, c'mon, this magnificent bastard created both the Horde and the Scourge. And he has a ton of layers for what is essentially the Devil-figure of the universe, from his hatred at his best friend's "betrayal," to his tendency to give second chances to his minions, to his resentment of Sargeras growing more and more over time. Though I do agree that Legion could have played up his cleverness more, the emotional beats they hit with him were magnificent. And his manipulation of Gul'dan in the Tomb of Sargeras audio drama, especially this line: "Every creature serves a master, even I. That is the choice we all make – serve another, or die alone." Mwah. Chef's kiss. Such perfect foreshadowing for his final moments and the flicker of regret for his loss of faith, and for the expansion's themes of defying fate. High A/low S for sure.
Also FUCK Zovaal for stealing Kil'jaeden's credit. The Deceiver did all the heavy lifting and the Jailer just put his name on the homework assignment. Even KJ's nipples are superior.
I love how straight-to-the-point you are, as well as your humour
Deathwing in C doesn't feel right to me.
i disagree with illidans placement if you havent read the book id recommend it honest s tier
As a Wrath-baby, I was INCREDIBLY let down by each and every villain after Arthas. I started with the absolute best, and it only got worse. It's unfortunate, but I can't say I didn't expect it. The story of Arthas is just superb. Yes, I'm an Arthas simp.
As someone who loves Deathwing, it hurts to see him in C. Even if his prominence in game is overshadowed, his overall lore and rise to a world shattering threat was honestly cool.
And zovaal gets a new F minus tier
I see that you ranked them based on the concept/lore. For me Gul'dan is up there with Arthas. Illidan as a villain has been trivialized because of the added context that was added by the Illidan Stormrage book. I am not sure if it is a retcon as a whole because Illidan was never someone that shared his thoughts with someone. Adding context and what was he trying to do I dont think it is a retconn.
What is a retconn is that Blizzard decided to drop "he is neither night elf, nor demon but something much more…" and just straightout made him a demon so that we can bring him back in Legion.
Gul'dan is an absolute S tier because I love Warlock. I love the fantasy. He is the quintessential Warlock. Kil'jaeden is closer to being a Demon Hunter than Warlock, if we are to force a class upon Kil'jaeden. Anyway, where Illidan = DH, Gul'dan = Warlock, as a fantasy. He is the warlock class fantasy. Frankly, I do not understand how many do not understand that out of all classes we can play Warlock is THE EVIL CLASS. You harvest souls to gain more power, to summon demons and subdue them to your will. He/she is using said souls to even heal players with the healthstone (thankfully, they removed the soulshard as a reagent). You can summon hordes of demons. The Summoning Portal is, essentially, a tunnel through the Twisting Nether…….the home world of the demons. The demonic gate is using fel magic to transport players from points A to point B.
Also, I am surprised how you left Blackhand out of the list considering how impactful he is in both AU and streamline lore. He, essentially, is the orc that did as much destruction to the Alliance as Garrosh.
So, lets see, first, we fear Sargeras, them we discover that he did what he did to stop the old gods in the whole universe, than we discover that the old gods wasnt that big of a treat, and the Jailer have discovered a greater danger, for the universe, life and death alike… Please Blizzard, dont screw in this final treat, please!
I'd put everything, even the weakest ones in at least C tier, and then put the Jailer in F, just to drive home the fact that no other character even came close to doing as much damage to WoW lore as he has.
There must always be a king! Or a warchief!
While I don’t know really how I would rate every main vilain, Azshara , Sylvanas, Gul’Dan and Denathrius are some of my favourite vilains. The smugness they all have when you interact with them is magnificent as Azshara would say. They also all have some amazing voice actors that really sells the character and their emotions.
I never tought i would end up playing in RP server but after i showed a OG Founder of Frostiis you're race videos on our preferences (undead for me, bloodelf for OG founder and female models for both) and to my surprise OG Founder said that RP seemed fun ! I never tought i could get someone to RP with me on WOW, but now i am very excited to try the WOTLK RP serves since you have shown there are funny ppl there 😀 Thank you Christian God bless you and you're family and loved ones Amen ! Be safe !
Christian Finnish Frostiis I had in vanilla a forsaken female char, i went to see Queen of the Forsaken when i was shown where Sylvanas was standing in the Undercity and i had the urge to kneel and i did… i came back another time to kneel again for Sylvanas. Quess i am more evil in my mind than Sylvanas, atleast we got the green goo in Undercity still and i plan to be as loyal to Sylvanas on WOTLK Classic RP server
Danathrius is a way more interesting villain than the Jailer
Eric Andre is the true hero of WOW
I hope they bring back N’zoth. The devs said that he’s not done, so I hope they bring him back, give him a proper expansion!
I was 100% sure that lich king would be the top villain, I was still super happy anyway when you confirmed it.
Illidan is s tier
what's the name of the animation in 9:11
I think Azshara deserves an A! she was really iconic!
besides that, I agree with the list!
I was gonna flip a table if Garrosh wasn't S tier.
Thankfully my table remains un-flipped.
It's really surprising that Hogger didn't get a S tier spot. 😁
Kael is easily a S Tier.
Garrosh was the biggest tragedy of all WoW villains. There was so much potential there. Blizzards writing staff managed to make the wrong choice every single time. Leading to kind of a mess of a character by the end. You could have covered every one of the given story beats and done a much better job showing his frustration with the state of the Horde. All without Thrall just dumping the title of Warchief on him. It would have been much more impactful if he'd taken the title himself in order to "fix" the Horde.
thx YT that we can still skip certain annoying ads made by kakios and kekiellas also shoutout to Kuzul from <Second Life>(whoever that is) you made it into kaks video
Hero or antagonist , illidan top at both
What a dumb video. Deathwing should be at least a B tier. You talked just about the final fight with him out of the box, while ignoring that it had a point – players were never supposed to fight him in the first place, because we wouldn't stand a chance against him. Dragon Soul was the only thing capable of destroying him, we were only buying time for it to charge and weakening him by taking away his plates. His fight consisted of 2 boss encounters! On top of it, you also ignored that he literally transformed entire Azeroth and the tragic depth of his story when we could see his "reward" if he was to succeed on his mission in End Time dungeon.
For a lore nut like yourself Kakio, I'm shocked you never went into how Onyxia had the biggest lore build up in Vanilla. 0_o
I don't care for garrosh…he is overhyped…i remember during the days of MoP when it was speculated that his general? Mankalrok or something was the evil mastermind…that was more compelling than a typical orc with more homicidal tendencies that even a chaos orc
No Lady Vashj?! Oof! One of Azshara's handmaidens, she partnered with Illidain and Kael, tried to drain a lake dry, she was so damn smug. Or Medivh from Kara? Evil from before his birth by the spirit of the lord of the Burning Legion, Sargeras. Under his influence, Medivh contacted the orc warlock Gul'dan, and together they opened the Dark Portal, bringing the Old Horde to Azeroth. Also no Zf or Zg bosses, poor trolls. Otherwise, a great tier list! Maybe you should do one on heroes next??
The True SSS Villain is Bobby Kotick
I assume Zoval is now a Z tier given how that shit turned out. Lol
Everything's coming up Millhouse!
Sylvanas is hard F. One of the best characters in warcraft ever, turning her into a baddie at all was fucking stupid
"Cause he might go out with a bang"
Heard of a wimper?
Lich king not high enough, nuff said
Hogger: S+++ tier
