palpatine: i am exterminating the jedi and turning the republic into an empire

obi-wan and anakin for two hours and twenty minutes:

-pulled gilneas out of the alliance because “helping people” and “taxes” are for losers

- decided to go one step further and build a giant wall around his kingdom, except it also was going to go right through some people’s land and wall them off from the country they lived in and also leave them way vulnerable to the giant undead army currently ravaging that part of the continent.

-This singlehandedly caused a civil war led by the dude whose lands got cut in half by the wall.  The rebellion was very successful until it wasn’t for Reasons (blizzard r monarchists)

-Then he realized that the scourge currently ravaging the continent that he had done nothing about were going to be a problem and immediately had the perfect solution: release a bunch of worgen into the woods. This immediately went bad because they started eating people.

- “ah shit” he thought. “the best solution is to go on Secret Gentlemen’s Hunts with my boys to get rid of the worgen” He immediately got bit. Sad!

-Cue like the whole Gilneas storyline in which Genn Nobly Rescues His People from the problem he created. 

-THIS FUCKING PANEL FROM THE COMICS WHEN HIS SON TELLS HIM HE LOVES HIM. HES SUCH A HORRIBLE DAD

-jump to like now, when he spends all his time being sad about his son dying and like adopting anduin as a replacement son when he still has a kid left (but warcraft is about fathers and sons so whatever tess)

And then

And THEN

After getting bitten and becoming a worgen himself he had the royal physician developing an experimental cure in secret for YEARS which, while it was not perfect and did not lift the curse nor give the same level of stability as the Scythe of Elune does, was still FUNCTIONAL and prevented him from totally succumbing to the druidic magic

AND THEN

HE DIDN’T DISSEMINATE THIS. AT NO POINT DID HE MAKE THIS TREATMENT AVAILABLE TO THE CITIZENS OF GILNEAS.
