On a serious know, I won't white knight about this, but I will say that the lore team are perhaps one of the more competent writers I've seen in an MMO in recent history, they're created a very thorough and details mythos without overly referencing pop culture or borrowing from popular fantasy settings (besides the obvious ones taken from the franchise). Sure there is a lot of fan service, but in most cases they do a good job of explaining it. Even Minions will have a canon lore explanation. So with that in mind I have high hopes that there will be a fitting story for this, so long as you keep an open mind.
If you come into this with the mentality that it's stupid or will suck, no explanation they give will ever be good enough.
