So all this time it was the banshee side only, and her other part was prisoner in the maw? Well when they started to talk about splitting soul, I knew it would happen. In the end, her ranger general side will accept to be one again with her dark self, creating a new sylvanas who will accept her crimes and her punishement. So she will remember what she have done and probably suffer for it, so not redemption arc probably. I guess the books will explain more about how her two parts will finally accept each other, that there are the same person. But Sylvanas doesnt only did bad thing during all these years. She helped the people of Lordaron to rebuild and live again. Yes, she wanted revenge but before meeting the jailer, after lich king death, she cared about the undead people and even helped the blood elves to join the horde. Even in Legion, when she was already working for the jailer, she didnt want Varina to die, and she even saved the horde, when she could just let them die for him. The worst after with the burning of teldrassil. I agree, the most part are bad things. Anyway, I really liked this cinematic, better than any I saw in game lately and im happy they didnt do, ( Oh we forgive you with everything) or she waker up and be, (oh im the ranger general and i dont remember anything). She wont probably be good or bad, because overall, she is the banshee and ranger general at the same time. What im scared is how they will do that.
The cinematic itself is really good, all the kudos to their in-engine cinematic team. Sylvanas Ranger-General look is top notch with great contrast to the banshee and gee, new models just for this? Great!But common... Jailer did all that, he is responsible, blah blah. Really? She is de facto forgiven now, let's be realistic. A redemption story in all but the name. Not everyone has to have one...
a
So who is paying for Teldrassil? Basically no one, great story blizzard.
Well done Blizzard :)
I used to like sylvanas a lot. But I am super sick of her. And this story arc.I'd rather she just died in the raid to be honest
These were the best 4 minutes of WoW of the past 5 years.
The direction they are going with the storytelling actually makes sense now. This isn't even that much of a retcon. If they are going to forgive Anduin, Arthas, and Uther, then there is no reason not to do that with Sylvanas. Her decision made much more sense and her entire journey from WC3 to SL are much more compelling than Garrosh ever was. For people who say this is dumb whitewashing. Just remember that Jailer manipulated the Burning Legion and possibly other cosmic forces to achieve his goals. Sylvanas was probably one of the lesser pawns Jailer manipulated.
Praising Bane for one sentence after being a nobody and continuing to be a nobody, I just can't, he is the worst character by far in this whole mess, worse than Sylvanas even, he should just shut up and sit down like he did for this whole train wreck of an expansion like a good boy...I am ashamed that thing is Horde honestly, maybe we really shouldn't have saved him to get a better bloke than this furry nobody... hell bring back Cairne, don't care how (since the story doesn't make sense anyway).
damn it Blizzard making me feel for Sylvanas... Just make this $%^& into a movie already
The art style seems much improved. Still dont care for the story but looks at what they can do!Blonde sylvanas tho...
The animation felt different, like a Saturday morning cartoon. Not saying it was bad, just different.I enjoyed the story.
very appropriate cinematic name.
Beautiful quality on that cinematic marred by horrendous, short-sighted story telling.
I am a staunch hater of Sylvanas, but this seems to be the best we can get. Now, if they can redeem her, they can redeem Arthas, and let's be real, more of us want that. Arthas and the Lich King are the best characters WoW has ever had, and tin foil hat: this entire expansion was made to redeem/resurrect Arthas.
omg and here comes the water out of my eyes - gg blizz. Very well-done cinematic.
