I would personally consider it worse if they went down this road now. I don’t agree with that they made Sylvanas villianous(even if I disslike the character), but its the boat we are in now.
But making her an anti-hero who was misunderstood is too far gone considering the war crimes she comitted has been on the level of wc1 burning legion/Old Horde.
tell that to Hogger RIP gnollfriend but also back in vanilla there was an orc with a death sentence waiting for execution and the guards are all “just go in there and kill him for me thanks here’s a magic sword”
Tbh I think the Stockades “riot” was staged from the inside, because the Alliance was struggling financially and couldn’t afford the cost of keeping criminals incarcerated. Effective way of executing them all while keeping the moral high ground.
I guess I should say I would be fine with her having ‘heroic’ motivations, even if she is ultimately condemned as a villain. Wasn’t so much saying we should just be buddies with her again, just that I’d prefer if she seemed to be villainous while actually having good-ish motivations.
