Honestly the thing that impresses me the most about the Elune cinematic is the fact that I just genuinely don’t care about it, no feelings
Within a year I’ve gone from really being into certain story threads etc into just complete apathy towards the entire setting, takes a special kind of writing to get there
We already have a tear for whatever maguffin purpose this may be, sitting safe in Dalaran unless someone butterfingered it into enemy hands á la tidestone.
Is the video so bad? It seems to be that Elune is just doing deity stuff. Not worse than the other videos we’ve had so far - dare I say, a little better?
My only complaint is the part in which Elune [claims/confirms] she could have actually saved all these souls but instead just went “you know what? you can all die my fave babies, go feed my sister, see you in the afterlife”-thing.
Or worse, she actually orchestrated BFA’s biggest genocide by pulling the strings through some god-like special power, somehow influencing Sylvanas (?), but this sounds implausible.
Night elf souls becoming wisps somehow tied to the magical forest they inhabit is lore that’s more explored lately. Charitably interpreted in want of further context, she let the souls pass from one magic forest to another to help her sister, not knowing they were actually being flushed.
Good thing my character likely won’t ever learn about this IC, otherwise she’d be left completely heartbroken and wrecked and maybe even denounce Elune out of spite accuse whoever brought her the news of lying and keep thinking that this whole “hole in the sky” thing doesn’t concern her.
And discovered that unlike every single other monthly payment platform I’ve encountered, making a monthy payment on Patreon doesn’t give you benefits that last for a month since your payment, but rather until the 1st of next month, at which point you’ll be charged again.
