    Oof...can't wait. I loved the ones for Warlords and Legion. :) Given that these are three of my favorite characters, it's a win-win.

    all these pre expansion lore audio book, comics & short vids i nearly find even better than actually playing the expansion. I just love the warcraft universe, and I do like the game. but it's just a bit of a lost potential at this point.

    These animated shorts are amazing. I love Blizzard's 2d animations. Not just in WoW. Their doomfist trailer and some of their 2d hots trailers were awesome too. Man I can't wait...

    My hype meter is off the charts. I can't wait for tomorrow and it's only the pre-patch :)

    I really hope they don't make Jaina into a monster like the Banshee Queen...retain your humanity, we're better than them.

    Anyone else wondering why it's only one gender in the series? I mean there's so many characters on both sides of the gender divide and yet we get only 3 women.. I really hope they arn't doing this for progressive points and actually have proper stories for all 3 that can stand on their own within the current canon.

    All of the Legion and Warlords videos were about males. Did anyone wonder or think anything odd? All three have prominent roles in BfA so it makes sense. There doesn't have to be a boogeyman under everything done in today's world. ;)

    Only male or only female warlord stories... It doesn't matter. The only important thing is that it isn't about sex but the characters and if they're interesting and watchable. Draenor warlords were all male so it made sense. Here we have the 3 most influential characters relevant to the expansion and they happen to be female. It's not as if it's a remake where the story/characters are the same but gender reversed for no apparent reason except SJW antics.

    Personally I think this looks promising. I'll withhold any praise until we see a full version

    This is beyond cool. Waiting with baited breath.

     The play on 'bated' and 'baited' was deliberate.

    For me its not about gender but i do find all three of them extremely boring as do i find the king of stormwind a bore. As someone who has played since launch i would MUCH rather see bosses we have fought over the years be brought to life than these "heroes".

    If they happened to be 3 males would anyone be posting why there are three males? Does the gender matter only when it's female?

    They're not "heroes". They are literally "warbringers". 

    Azshara absolutely should be included. We haven't heard anything much about her in ages, there's never been a story told of what happened to her and what transformed her into a naga and she's the 2nd raid end boss. Duh...natural inclusion.

    I'd have like have seen Katherine Proudmoore instead of Jaina and Talanji featured in the shorts instead of Jaina or Sylvanas but it is what it is.

    Welcome to the boards! I haven't played WoW in years but I was told all the men were down the pub when the bard started the story write up. :)

    As a multi racial African  American i don't go into anything i enjoy for entertainment like comics or video games and have the first thought of OMG where are all the black folks!!! RAGE!

    I'm still amazed how people do this unless they have an agenda that is... My roommate and I really enjoyed the lords of war series and became fans of Durotan because of it. given my roommate is female and enjoys female chars in comics and games i'm excited for her,i think she will love this and we are far from huge WoW fans.

    You say tomato i say tomahto.

    I don care if they are "GODS" according to the lore. I find them boring , its my opinion. The only reason i felt the need to share what i shared was because i wanted to present a side as someone who is not interested in these characters because they are boring not because they are female. 

     I'm not debating if they should be included or not, Im sure majority of Warcraft fans will LOVE this. For me personally i no have interest in them, Then again im someone who barely follows the in game story, I dont play WOW for that.

    While definitely excited, I have to admit the main reason I clicked was to see how long it took someone to take up the plight of men everywhere and equate the female characters to a progressive agenda. It wasn't long.
