The Archy one I'll give you, but Cenarius is a pussy. He got pwned by Fel Orcs(one of those Fel Orcs then one shotted Mannoroth, who also=pussy).
3. Lich King for one quite possibly. Also, speculation. Hell, Illidan is one of the most powerful beings on Azeroth, he is not even close to Aspects.
4. I frankly think some aspects(like Nozdormu) would outright pwn Archy.
5. Mannoroth is a bug to a Fel Orc too. Cenarius is as well. So he's stronger than pussies.
I felt like responding to this not because I care enough, but because I'm a dick.
1. Lich King is an unknown. An unknown with a limit. The limit being that he is ONE of the most powerful on Azeroth. Archimonde walked uneffected trough the entire land. Archimonde who more or less annhiliated Malorne.
2. Pyron was beat up by a vampire. Ganondorf gets beat up by a teenager (Repeatingly). A gigantic dinosaur gets beat up by a plummer. A powerful dark magiciant gets beat up by a baby dragon. Phoenix is killed by Wolverine.
It is called plot advancement events and in a lot of the cases, the defeat of a character does not mean they have met their match.
3. Illidan has nothing to do with this discussion. When someone says "One of the most powerful beings" I think top 5, which would make Lich King aspect level. If they had said "THE most powerful being", then I would not bother arguing this point, because that means he can actually match the most powerful Burning Legion member. But since he is one of a number, he should not be assumed to be one of the most powerful beings in the universe.
4. Nozdormu could never beat Archimonde heads up. Nozdormu may be the undying one, but simply because he will more or less never die, does not mean he can kill someone of Archimonde's level. If anyone is going to stand a chance against Archimonde, it is Neltharion or possibly Malygos. Although I am not saying they would win, but if anyone would put up a fight it would be them.
5. Like I said in point 2, it is called plot advancement events. You are saying that the Pit Lord leader that slaughtered thousands, is rated a top member of the Burning Legion and walked by his own towards the front lines of the Azeroth defense (Killing thousands) is killed by a swing of an axe, simply because Grom is better? For a starter, Mannoroth is better than Grom in ALL areas. He is faster, stronger, more endurant, more bloodthirsty, more intellectual, more magical and larger than Hellscream. Mannoroth is the demon who cause earthquakes by stomping in the ground.
Mannoroth did not die because he was a garbage warrior. He died because the story of Warcraft had to move on. If Mannoroth would have been like he is in the books, Thrall and Grom would have been squished carrots (Green carrots). The horde would never have lasted, the Warsong clan would have died and World of Warcraft would have never been born. Mannoroth HAD to die.
I appreciate that you are a dick. That way I can elaborate my view better 😄
(Edited a point, because proof that I do not have would have been demanded)
