I think it tells a lot abt the last 5 years of wow story when the most memorable moment is when garrosh told everyone in superhell he did not regret anything and that he would do it all again and then told everyone (including thrall) to go rope themselves.
Also it was animated by an intern on a coffee break. Still got more likes than all the other SL cinematics combined.
it looked like there might be one with the night elves going rogue at one point but it never amounted to anything.
if there was going to be an alliance civil war it would definitely be the different races being tired of only human interests being taken into account. tyrande storming off to retake darkshore while anduin told her not to was a great moment and we need more
Hitting Sylvanas with the villain bat, and not making Alliance the aggressors in BFA, with a focus on Genn being consumed by his quest for vengeance, was a huge missed opportunity.
(Ignoring the mess of ‘justification’ that was SL)
I mean that was literally set up perfectly in Stormheim. I think you could legitimately make an arguement that Genn going at the forsaken in that zone is/would be the straw that breaks Sylvanas’ back.
It was also hilariously amended before launch I believe where Blizzard added a cookie crumb quest that conveniently had alliance find a military document from a crashed Forsaken ship that detailed all evil deeds Sylvanas wanted to commit, thus making Genn’s attack righteous.
i’m not advocating that wow dwarves need to be warhammer dwarves. but i feel like an angry dwarven march from ironforge south to stormwind when moira has had enough “human potential” and wants to enforce demands
the demand being that ironforge is reinstated as capital of the alliance because it won’t catch fire when the horde infiltrate it
Kinda, but they botched that because the timeline doesn’t work and also the Horde can get the identical quest to return the same documents to the Forsaken, so its canonicity is a big ???
Last time Moira tried to act up, Varian entered her city under cover of darkness with SI:7 to assassinate her.
moira is exactly the kind of person who holds a grudge and also knows that she could step on anduin really easily.
also how are none of the alliance leaders annoyed that turalyon has stepped into that role when they’ve all been putting in hard graft for years with no recognition
Yeah, Genn outright tried to assassinate the sitting warchief, against his own king’s orders, and was never punished for it. Of course the immediate follow-up to that is the place where Genn’s people are hanging out getting nuked.
because anduin is a bad king and should never have been made leader of the alliance. he gets to be king of stormwind by birth right, fine, but he is not a war leader
