We’re in a loop! In the new teaser trailer Blizzard just released for the 11.2 patch “Ghosts of K’aresh,” Alleria, Locus-Walker, and Xal’atath have an exchange almost word for word from a cutscene from Shadowlands. In both scenes, one character says “We can’t trust her!” First it was Jaina, now it’s Alleria. Another character responds “I’m not asking you to trust her, I’m asking you to trust me!” First it was Uther, now it’s Locus-Walker.
Who is writing this?
“I’m asking you to trust me…after I lied to you for years and kept it hidden from you that I helped the Ravel shatter K’aresh!”
Clearly it’s a time loop. They had one on Star Trek TNG where they keep crashing into Frasier.
There were several of them on the old Twilight Zone.
This is the Legion story again with Illidan
“alleria” aka fake alleria.
Nothing says hype like a poorly written dialogue cinematic
“Trust no one!” - random Undead female NPC.
As I recall this was also something Locus Walker said right before he said trust him… “Trust no one Alleria, not even ME.” followed a few minutes later by: “I’m not asking you to trust her, I’m asking you to trust me!”
I thought you were always supposed to listen to the voices in your head when it came to the void
SL isn’t even the first time they used that idea.
We seem to always team up with the bad guys now.
Bellular made a video where he called this a unique twist. Its not unique because it happens all the time now. There is redemption or justification for most of the major villians now and we work with them in some way.
I pretty distinctly remember Xal’atath telling Alleria something like they were more similar than she realizes
I wonder if there’s something there to that 
Xal’atath is actually the void revenant of Alleria 
That would be neat but then it would beg the question, what was Alleria doing back in the times of the Black Empire and why was she put in the dagger?
IDK, the whole thousand years time travel thing confuses me still
It’s a pretty common trope.
“I’m not asking you to trust [insert name here], I’m asking you to trust me” is often used in any situation where there’s a trust issue between reluctant and tenuous allies. Shadowlands was hardly the first time it’s been used in story telling.
Not only that, but motifs are also a very common story telling tool. This isn’t the first, or only, motif that Blizzard has employed in their writing. Patterns exist, sometimes accidentally and sometimes on purpose, in any story that has been going for as long as WoW has.
When is Alleria going to do something other than chasing after people she never catches? First she ran through the Dark Portal to pursue the Horde, then she run pursue Gallywix, then she run pursue after Sylvanas, and then she pursue Xalatha… She is taking the windRUNNER of the family very seriously.
In the span of 3 expansions, Sylvanas had already challenged the Keepers, started a world war, committed genocide, breaking the sky of Northrend and had the arch of redemption.
So this isn’t accurate at all.
In the cinematic where Uther and the others are talking about Sylvanas with regard to trust, at no point does Jaina or Uther ask the others to trust her/him with regard to Sylvanas. Thrall raises the point of trust in that cinematic. Saying, “How can we possibly trust her?”
No one argues that she should be trusted. No one argues to trust them instead of her.
I don’t think you’re remembering the right cutscene. This is the one I was referring to: https://youtu.be/T9iXfwHjVXs?si=LlRJXlzrdyhnSVLB
I’ll say it again.
Every single person on WoW’s writing team should be fired.
Delete the entire department.
