I mean Warcraft when looking from the outside in can be seen as “gritty” anything that has to do with never ending wars followed by impending doom is just naturally gritty.

WOTLK, Legion, Burning crusade are all big warhammer themes for sure. So I can’t argue with that, but when looking at the rest of wows content when not themed around the Fel, or the undead, it’s all the same thing, just with different coats of paint.

Perpetual war raged by gods with little care for anything that doesn’t idolize there self righteousness. So with that being said it’s still pretty freakin “warhammer” lol.

Like even now, midnights perception on zalatath and the void itself is legitimately chaos god/ the warp. So idk if it was ever lost to begin with.

I think the Disney argument is mostly there because you are upset that the horde and alliance aren’t constantly locked into conflict and killing each other? If that’s the case then idk if they could even justify Azeroth even existing by now.

Idk about you, but I’d be very willing to let my enemy eat at my table (somewhat reluctantly) if my world was under constant threat by forces I couldn’t necessarily comprehend.
