Blizzard cant do mysteries anymore

When dealing with a slapdash story like this, I think it’s a natural reaction for people to assume that an unexplained inconsistency in the story was just a Rule of Cool cop-out rather than a deliberate attempt to craft a subterfuge.

Very well said. It reminded me of something I said in an old thread, speaking on Sylvanas’s fight with Saurfang.

They didn’t show us anything of Sylvanas getting power. It didn’t feel like a reveal, because there had been no (or minimal) foreshadowing to prepare our brain to interpret it as a “reveal”. Instead of, “Oh, those are the powers we’ve been hearing about”, we all thought, “why is a dagger blocking a war axe?” Because we had no other information with which to contextualize the fight.
