The chaos inflicted by Thanos is rooted in a noble cause, the perfect world, whereas Sylvanas chaos is rooted in revenge.
In the grand scheme of things, the goal of The Avengers and Thanos is the same, the perfect world, they’re just going about it differently, so Thanos is an anti-hero.
Sylvanas has the best character development in World of Warcraft, what she is doing now is a result of the things that happen to her in the past.
How someone goes about getting revenge shouldn’t be viewed as evil but revenge disqualifies them from being an anti-hero.

Repeat after me, a city who’s main population is civilians isn’t an enemy base, it’s a civilian capital.
Hear hear. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way:
The definition of an anti-hero is “a central character in a story, film, or drama who lacks conventional heroic attributes.”
While Sylvanas lacks heroic attributes, her actions are plain morally wrong, such as torching an entire city full of civilians. While she could been classified as an anti-hero back in the day, she isn’t one now.
Breaking Bad’s Heisenberg is a perfect example of an anti-hero, for those who have seen the show.

Too late for that. Undead can’t die. They did it already. All you can do is to bring them peace.
It was a way of entry for her enemies to secure the azerite that the alliance were already aware of when they slaughtered goblins mining it, sorry but the war of thorns was a three day or three week process anyways it didnt happen in a day malfurion and his troops faught back they had time to tell the civilians evacuate and come back if we win but they didnt, unlike undercity we evacuated every corner of it

Sylvanas has been like this since she liberated the forsaken she doesnt say we are the forsaken we will greet anyone who passes us , no she says we will slaughter anyone who stands in our way, even in cataclysm she went against garrosh’s orders and deployed the plague even when instructed not to.
The forsaken were actively hunted down and seen as monsters for the quick thinking of eww zombie not my friend they are scourge and mindless and cannot be trusted, but when the tables are turned oh you are so naughty you are troubled troubled banshee
I wish she wasnt warchief because of the big target that is on her back but everyone admit she could have wiped the alliance leaders had it not been for Jaina.
Ended an ongoing war
She’s also like “What joy is there in this curse?” while spreading the undeath curse and raising ppl lol

To be fair that scenario was stupid, The alliance (especially Genn) should have expected Sylvanas to use the Blight, and make counter masks or something to nullify it. Instead what happened we just stupidly rushed in, got blighted, and counted on Jaina’s miraculous return. Same thing happened in the throne room where they rushed in without expecting Sylvanas to have a trap and counted on Jaina to save them again.
And Sylvanas is just as stupid blighting her own soldiers then raising them and making her appear even more evil while distancing/angering Baine and Saurfang and maybe other leaders too.

That’s the problem with most of the events. They had to make the Alliance nobly stupid in order for any of the Horde points to work.

She was an anti hero in warcraft 3, she certainly behaves like a villain since cataclysm tho

She used to be an anti hero, anti heroes are characters like Illidan. Sylvanas is just an autistic screeching evil-doer these days.

I think Legion largely undid Illidan’s anti-hero status. I really liked Illidan prior to and in TBC because he was such a tragic character, but Legion acts as though he was always right. That he was some sort of prophesized child.

Well he did smash the windchime that told him he is the prophesized child
He ultimately proved the windchime right, though. I didn’t really like good guy Illidan. Too much edge for my tastes. “I am my scars!”

Well, the goblin mining operation was a military one, juts saying not to compare it to killing civilians in Teldrassil.
It is not easy to evacuate whole capital city and its closest inhabited areas, if I am not mistaken, the evacuation started (from the novels), but they did not make it in time, especially when the Horde used a lot of ships, so it wasn’t really safe to flee via sea. Someone can ask why they did not teleport them out of Teldrassil sooner, but the whole teleporting in WoW is kinda strangely used, which is logical in a way, since every possible conflict could be solved with teleportation.
Anyway the main reason for Sylvanas was to kill Malfurion to cripple Night elves. She could have hold Teldrassil civilians as hostages, but she went into extreme homicidal state instead…
As for Undercity, the main reason, why she evacuated them, was that she planned the whole Blightening of the city.

The most evil people in history don’t themselves consider themselves evil.
Her being ‘evil’ or not is an entirely meaningless accusation. The real quest is, is she interesting? and yes is she acting consistently and in character? I’d say yes, because I’m not tainted by the common fanboy/fangirl “But she’s my Undead waaaiffuuu not fair she be da cute. I don’t like her being a meanie it makes me a sad squirrel.”
Personally I’d love to see the Undead in general become much more antagonistic in general and even to their allies-of-convenience (remember that), the Horde.
