The cloth physics reminds me of when you go down an elevator in swtor with a cloak or Twi’lek Lekku and everything just stands up.

Was it flaps?
The correct technical term has to do with bones behaving like jello.
Big, floppy brainsocks.

Get rid of Sylvanas for good and may she won’t be ever seen again after the end of this expac, her story is completely ruined since Legion.

…I thought they were just flesh, not housing parts of their brains.
…Do they in lore? If they do, wow, that’s dumb, even by Star Wars standards.
Yeah they do.
Specifically, “parts” of their brains are in the lekku and they work as sensory organs. Like having brain tissue in your ears.
(headdesk)
How does that make any sense? Brains are squishy and vulnerable to damage, that’s part of the reason animals evolved skulls — to protect them. Having parts of them flopping around without protective shells is just asking for trouble. It raises questions like — do Twi’lek skulls have holes at the back where the lekku are attached? There don’t seem to be evolutionary advantages to that, seeing how Twi’leks aren’t shown to be smarter or otherwise needing more brain mass than Humans, and every evolutionary disadvantage—
Excuse me while I get out and contemplate how stupid this is
While not great that they didn’t tell her much about 9.2 the blurb for the novel indicates to me it’s likely to end around the same point as the 9.1 raid. Since she’s not part of the WoW team she wouldn’t need to know what’s happening in 9.2, this isn’t much of a smoking gun tbh. To put down the plotpoints she gets told to write, she needs to know the past, not the future.
Granted, this lack of knowledge has lead to previous shenanigans like her actively lying in her own internal monologue (“I’m proud to be Warchief, even though I never wanted to be one”. “Oh, actually this was the Jailer’s plan all along.”), but still.
Okay but unironically they should have forsaken [any race], really. Except Worgen I guess.

I actually think they should too. At the very least the Alliance of Lordaeron races and Nelves.

My headcanon says the brain tissue in quesion are just thin strands like an optical nerve rather than something akin to filling a pair of tights with minced meat.
They’re also demonstrably mobile so there’s some muscle in there.

Huwhatnow?
Lets star with Alliance of Lordaeron and night elf races.
Lor’themar has already forbidden the Forsaken (Sylvanas specifically) from raising the death and I assume the other Horde races (except the Gobos) would mostly think the same.
Why not the goblins? If you die without repaying your debt? Ohboi get back here.
Big agree, Brianna Saren (or whatshername) lost (large) parts of one Lekku and still functions fine without it. Also, togruta also have brains in their lekku (Ahsoka Tano and Shaak Ti’s race).
Also, per the X-wing series of books, space in Star Wars is not a vacuum. Wedge describes in one of his pages that he experiences drag when turning his X-wing and iirc if you shut down your engine you lose speed while in space. (Which also apparently happens in that new star wars fighter game from EA).
starting to think “space samurai western film with wizards” might not be the hardest and most scientific of sci-fi

Oh, it’s not sci-fi. It’s space fantasy. But I still expect it to pay at least lip service to the laws of nature as we understand them when it doesn’t involve the Force or fictional physics like hyperspace.
I’m only rooting for him to put an end to this circus. The game has suffered enough.
A part of me hopes that Blizzard pulls of something crazy with the Jailer for the lore to somehow make sense again, I think Asmon said something like this in his recap of the 9.2 video where he unmakes reality and some crazy stuff happens with N’Zoth and then we realize we didn’t actually defeat N’Zoth, etc. etc.
But knowing Blizzard, they don’t have the gut to do something like this. Nor do they have capable writers that could possibly write something that will absolutely blown our (even this weathered doomsayer) minds.
Proper humans. Not withered ones.
I still find those who have just died and been risen turning into some withered entity weird.
Can I make a addition to my Frostborne and Leper gnome idea then to compensate the Alliance for the loss of their core races?
Horde gets proper undead humans, Alliance gets Ulduar mechagnome customisations and skinny humans alongside the Leper and Frostborne and Earthen?
Same

Idk if it’s still canon but necromantic magic had a tendancy of mutating people; hence ghouls and all their variations.
With that said, I honestly think the Scourge is peak Warcraft. Honestly beyond irate that Shadowlands has done a big poo on Arthas’s entire story.

It only mutates humans that serve Sylvanas. I shall not take further questions.
