This is really a case of having to absolutely stick the landing. I think this is going to be one of the most difficult balancing acts Blizzard can possibly perform, and while it’s wildly unfair that they have to do this at the exact moment they do, it’s also pretty unavoidable - the entire storyline of World of Warcraft over the past several years has been leading up to this moment, going all the way back to 2016 and Legion. There’s a lot riding on what happens after this Clearly nobody trusts Sylvanas and everyone blames her, and probably she herself will have a similar view. And it’s fairly clear that, whatever else happens, Sylvanas and her reunited soul are going to be a major part of how we find our way to Zereth Mortis, as based on the scenes we see in this cinematic. The way Ranger General Sylvanas goes from her to my when describing the atrocities performed by Sylvanas is something I personally find very well done - it’s a good first step for the final chapter in this storyline. Granted, having your soul ripped apart by a Death Knight is probably a lot different than getting hammered, but it was something I immediately noticed. The things I did under the influence are still the things I did - I don’t get a pass because something external was altering me. It’s something I struggle with as a long-time alcoholic. These atrocities are hers and she’s responsible for them. She doesn’t get a pass because her soul was fragmented. One thing that I thought bodes well for the future is the idea of coming to terms with what they did - that the actions of Sylvanas before her fragmented soul was reunited are still the actions of Sylvanas.

That doesn’t make me want to see more hand wringing over the destruction of Teldrassil, but there’s a lot of nuance here in the conversation between Ranger General Sylvanas and Uther.

The subtleties of the dialogue and the expressiveness of the acting, especially Patty Mattson, make this stand out for me as one of their best cinematics in recent memory. One of the things I’ve said from the very beginning is that you can dislike a story while still recognizing it isn’t bad, and that’s very much where I am with this cinematic. A big part of me - the part of me that didn’t enjoy what happened in Battle for Azeroth’s story and the whole Burning of Teldrassil plot that’s been so much a part of the game ever since - simply doesn’t really want to hear any more about Sylvanas.
