WOTLK:>Arthas killing the strongest heroes in one attack, something he could have done from the beginning >loses because one literal who paladin prayed hard enough
>>750613562>>loses because one literal who paladin prayed hard enoughwell u cant beat god nigga

>>750613562Arthas should have just killed him from the start. Even then it took the paladin a whole ten seconds to build up the strength to break out of his containment which was enough time for Arthas to react.
>>750613247>grabs good guy and tosses him instead of just breaking his spine in halfAvengers was full of this. In fact, all super hero movies are. One of the big reasons I hate capeshit
Whenever an RPG has me fight some FAGGOT and it's a very long fight and I soundly DEFEAT HIM and the following cutscene my party looks beat up and he's just saying "Haha waht a pathetic effort... nice sparring session kiddo" and leaves unscathed
>>750613562I still maintain that WotLK should have ended with Arthas winning Final event of the expansion shouldn't have been ICC, it should have been "Evacuating Northrend" with both regular quests about the evacuation and various raid wings where you act as Arthas's elite enforces after the events of ICC taking out various places, starting with a raid wing of Dalaran Still room for the paladin who prays hard enough, but have it be at the very end of this where the prayer cuts the players loose from Arthas's control, resurrects them and lets them evacuate on the last ship out of Northrend with a victorious Lich King in control over everything and still available as a recurring big bad

>>750618467That’s how you write a shitty fucking Saturday morning cartoon. Arthas dying was a satisfying conclusion to his story and the franchise as a whole. There’s a reason people quit WoW in droves after Wrath of the Lich King.
>>750613247How do you write an antagonist that can easily snap everyone's neck, including the hero's, and can still be defeated without feeling like a cop-out or plot-armor?
>>750618646it really wasn't satisfying in the slightest, the Lich King did literally fucking nothing and then died in the xpac that finally had him awaken, his death was at the hands of a nobody and he's just immediately replaced by a progression of increasingly shitty villains that constantly have to one-up each other having the Lich King as an overarching villain who actually managed to get a WIN against the players would have anchored and grounded the setting

>>750618658Easy, you give hima neck snap instakill move, and give the hero a way to cut his arm off

>>750618347Terminator Salvation does it constantly and in every fight scene, it's jarring as shit.>oh shit here's John Connor, the one guy that Skynet programs us to kill above all other priorities, i'm literally holding him by the neck right now>haha whoops threw him across the room again, better chase him wheeee this is fun
