I agree with jaina. We can't Thrust Sylvia.
It's going to be so much fun to see my Night Elf applaud her getting off of her crimes with her remorse as her only punishment before I return to Stormwind & hope I can crash on someone's couch. You know, because someone destroyed my home & killed most of my race simply to further enhance the Jailer's power.
I honestly don't think these lines give clarity on the direction of the character. I also don't see "redemption" in the words. I do honestly believe the first two lines are regarding Arthas. She shot Arthas in WC 3 with every intent of killing him before the Frozen Throne (the deal she made with the Dread Lords, how she got her body back) but unfortunately Kel'thuzad saved Arthas. She was under control of the Lich King's power or Arthas's domination up until Arthas was losing his strength that was being funneled by the Lich King because of Illidan and the crack in ice (hence why he needed the armor..to become one). She talks again about how Justice still hasn't been served. If anything we are seeing Sylvanas revert back to her pre-Lich King end, before she impaled herself on Saronite spike. She is still Sylvanas from WC 3 before Lich King's end or the Vanilla-WOTLK Sylvanas. Not a redemption, just a reversion to her true identity before Zovaal's deal.
Good to see that Jaina is still the dumb %^&*! she ever was. Alliance "heroes" never change.
And yes, alliance fanboys, stay mad. She gets her redemption arc, the one she deserves much more than Illidan for how badly they butchered her character in Legion/BfA. From the single most interesting character in the universe, and perhaps the only relatable one, she was turned into a Scooby Doo villain. And before you talk about "answering for her crimes", let's first see any of alliance character face any lasting repercussions for what they do. Or, at the very least, let's see Blizzard and the player base acknowledge the #$%^ alliance does first.
Said back at the end of legion they were going to do a Kerrigan with sylvanas and apparently the murder-waifu trope has to return one more time.
jaina may not trust sylvanas but them two sure do make a very good team :)
fun times in world of warcraft lore xD
The only way this is going to turn out good, if Blizzard is hell-bent on redemption is going to have to come up with a way that she sacrifices herself in the end. No, I'll say this about Blizzard's story writing, and where it fails. 10 years ago, the Hour of Twilight was upon us. Deathwing was poised to destroy the entire world, and we fought it back. How that should have ended v. how it did end is proof Blizzard can't do it. Thrall should have been the one to die, because, even though he was able to handle the power of the Dragon Soul, at some point it should have consumed him and turned him into ash. Instead, it was the Dragon Aspects that sacrificed their power. It would have made a far greater impact for Aggra to go to Thrall only to find a small pile of ash, his tribal beads, and satchel where he was standing, and the Dragon Soul sitting in the ash, cracked and nearly depleted of power. A tragic sacrifice that would have made everyone see it and know, something was lost. And then, to have Alexstrasza look to Aggra, and place her hand on her belly, where Aggra tells Alexstrasza she never had a chance to tell him. Alexstrasza informs Aggra she is carrying Thrall's legacy; twin sons. THIS would have been a far greater story ending.A lot of stories pass around tropes that many of us find corny. But then, there was that one time, Blizzard hit one out of the park... the Death of Varian Wrynn. I don't care if you loved him or hated him, when he died, the entire community rallied around the death of a true Hero. That should have been Thrall's ending story, too, for the same reason. Agree or disagree all you want, the fact is, and always has been, Sylvanas is a character Blizzard is afraid to kill. The same was true of Thrall. Vol'jin, what can I say, no one really gave a &*!@ about his death. They were more concerned about the aberration that took up the mantle of the Warchief. That was Sylvanas' story, not Vol'jin's. In order for Sylvanas to be redeemed for her actions, she is going to have to die to set matters right. If, for example, she was able to draw all the remaining night elf souls from the Maw, and return them to their bodies on Azeroth, but at the cost that she would die in the process, that is a good way to do it, showing how she was completely sorry for what she did, and could prove it by setting matters right, and allowing herself to die in the process.And that said, the developers need to remove that empty, hollow echo from Sylvanas' voice in order to make her an elf again, and not a banshee.
If Uther had stayed with Arthas and Culled Stratholme a lot of suffering could have been avoided. Sylvanas Windrunner is responsible for so much crap that she did after she was free from anyone's control. Southshore? That's her. The Wratthgate? That's her. The destruction of Darnassus? That's her. The leveling of Lorderon? That's her. The massacre of innocent Forsaken trying to rekindle relationships with their living family? That's also her. I don't understand how Blzzard's storytellers expect the people to forget all of that. At least Illidan had a reason for all he did. Sylvanas just killed peopl on the whim.
I hate to jump on the hate-bandwagon ... but it's just stupid tbh. 3 addons to build up the lore, that leads to .... this.
They will "Kerrigan" her. She will become a divine vessel to one shot jailer after we weaken him and that will be her scrificial redemption.
