Awesome cutscene but if you want to become overly analytical and draw a ton of complaints from it, thatâs very easily done.
Just like the thread originator cutscene.

As much as I love Stormheim and Greymane , it really doesnât make up for everything else. No resolution for Gilneas and all that. Ivar showing up in Darkshore was neat, not gonna lie 
Which I think was the point, hence the pancakes.
Genn literally body slams her to the ground and then takes her future from her.
Then he walks off like a boss.
Why arenât you satisfied? Genn accomplished in one cutscene what Night Elves and Tyrande hasnât been able to in whatâŚ? 3? 4?
I donât think that was the point, I think heâs just being glib and the pancakes is a reference to that guy who posts on the troll Hunter.
@Smalloiz - I thought my conclusion was pretty obvious - would you mind settling this?
Thanks.
I didnât say I wasnât satisfied. I talk often about how the Stormheim cinematic makes me happy. I do appreciate the small moments.
I was merely pointing out there are races who do have it a lot worse than the NE shrug
Thereâs no confusion. I merely lack an unrealistic expectation when it comes to the portrayal of my favorite race. I recognize that the narrative flaws in the franchiseâs media are neither unique or disproportionately unfavorable to the night elves through any form of intentional malice or inadvertent bias.
Unless you can apply a sociological methodology to those observations, or find a source that establishes explicit intent, then you are forever limited to the realm of correlation, not causation.

Nah.
Because you seem to think that I thoroughly enjoyed the Burning Teldrassil. This is a poor assumption on your part considering I have stated numerous times that I quit BfA about a month in.
You tried derailing a thread about rebuilding the Horde numerous times with a bunch of whining and offering suggestions that attempted to alleviate Alliance player concerns with no regard to actually rebuilding the Horde.

Thinking arrows should do damage isnât an âunrealistic expectationâ, I just think itâs a pointless portray and there is no reason to lift it up. I donât think Iâve asked for anything unrealistic either, this is likely contributing to your confusion.
What you personally choose to enjoy is up to you. I am not going to stop you but what I have said doesnât change. 
Well mister if you arenât here to find a compromise or discuss what would work best for an âalliance winâ then I donât see what you are doing here. I have the same information you do and my subjective interpretation of this art is different than yours. Learn to live in a world where people have different interpretations and opinions. 
Me, Ganth, Baal, Ariel and others have had honest conversation about fixing the problems facing both sides and while we sometimes disagree, Ganthâs a cool dude with good takes most of the time. 
In short, keep up the good work Ganth

Thinking that the night elves are being disproportionately portrayed as weak or incompetent because of that plot armor is an irrational perception.
Now if we want to discuss how the franchise as a whole could benefit from a greater application of realism and an abandonment of plot armor because it creates these dissonances, thatâs an entirely different point, and one in which we would likely find a lot of common ground on.

Itâs actually pretty unrealistic. Hunting animals with arrows is discouraged in lots of places because unless youâre very good and land a lethal shot on the heart or brain it wonât really do much to the animal and will just make them hurt. And Saurfang is bigger and tougher than a deer.
The fact that a few arrows put him on his knees for a few minutes but didnât mortally wound him or anything tracks pretty well if you know how arrows work. Expecting them to take him out of the fight or knock him back or something is unrealistic both from a real world perspective of what arrows actually do, as well as a WoW perspective of how tough orcs are.

Feel free to correct me if Iâm wrong, Micah.
Re; Stormheim.
From earlier in this thread, this cutscene was brought up to share a comparison to the current one.
We both came to the conclusion that the cutscene has issues, but overall portrays the conflict as the story intends and Genn is a badass in that cutscene.
Does it address Gilneas? Does it fix everything that came before? Are the Worgen issues magically addressed? No, but itâs still a positive Worgen portrayal. Itâs something that a Worgen could point at and go âthis is badass.â
Just like this current cutscene with Tyrande. Very similar cutscene in structure and organization, also ends very similarly with someone getting away when in reality someone could go âWait, huh. That shouldnât happen, why isnât X finishing them off?â
It leads to future plot threads and remains a good cutscene regardless of what came before, and remains a good cutscene still despite the Worgen narrative not having progressed since.
You can have an issue with X and still appreciate the good things rather than being so tainted by bitterness that everything is garbage, at which point youâre not looking to be satisfied but reasons to be upset.

Baal wants to turn Alliance into Garithos - The faction.
Ganth refuses any resolution to come to alliance at the cost of the Horde.
Ariel is just rude so 
And you just want Gilneas back and anything else the Worgen do isnât enough as reperation for Cataclysm.
You often troll threads with nonsense and rarely add anything to a conversation. And I didnât realize me wanting the worgen to get some actual attention in game was such a threat to your fragile ego.
