I’m sorry, I know that line is supposed to be poignant, but all I can think is “He’s da bomb!”

When i head Jaina scream “is he the bomb?”, my mind went straight to Diane from Bojack Horseman. I would look for a link, but i can’t post them though.

So, there is an exchange between Tandred and Jaina that you can catch every now and again near the foot of Proudmoore Keep.
Their banter is touching, filled with sibling bonding as they talk about how much they’ve missed one another. Jaina even refers to Tandred as her baby brother and that she had missed his teasing.
My mind immediately went back to that one lingering shot during this cinematic where the camera dwells on Derek’s back and the dagger there, moments after Jaina asks if he is the “bomb” this time…
If those theories about it being too late for Derek prove true, I’m going to put gold on Tandred being the one he stabs.
doubt it, derek cant return home and tandred is on the front lines captaining the tiffins melody

Our only regret is that there was only one tree to burn
Then, I’m sorry for you, on both a gameplay and personal level.
I matched your overly dramatic statement with an equally over dramatic reply. Baine is as about as good a good guy character you can get and you’re acting like he personally fired the catapults your payback moment is coming in the story chill out and enjoy the video

Angry Jaina who does something stupid, such as how she almost attacked Baine in the cinematic, in retaliation that lets Slyvanas go “See I told you the Alliance are a threat to our long term survival” however is a more interesting story.
Well considering we have the dialog for her after Baine gets arrested, we have some idea of that. Seems she is somewhat bothered by Sylvanas’s actions.

She also mentions that she owe’s a lot to Sylvanas. She believe that Baine should answer to these “supposed crime”, which we know that his charges were all true.
Talanji:
- We owe much to de warchief... but we will not follow her blindly.
Baine Bloodhoof has shown honor and respect to de Zandalari. He must be given a chance to face his accusers and answer for dis supposed crime.
“Supposed” indeed. Sounds like Talaji is questioning if this is a crime at all.
Ah yes, Baine has shown great respect to the Zandalari by helping out the person who assisted in invading their city and murdered their king.

Was Jaina in the Rastakhan fight? I don’t remember her being in the throne room, but I might have missed her.
The cutscene for the faction switch has Jaina coming out of the throne room and smirking at us while Talanji screams. Horde side there’s no NPCs in the room for the Rasta fight though I don’t think. Like I know Genn is the one who speaks to Rastakhan but… I don’t recall actually seeing him in there? It’s obviously a little fuzzy doing it Horde side because of unreliable narrator so maybe someone who has done it Alliance side can confirm.
No, she was not, and Greymane gives Rastakhan the chance to surrender, to which he refuses and talks about how the zandalari are superior to everyone else.
Genn Greymane: King Rastakhan of Zandalar… On behalf of the Alliance, and in the name of King Anduin Wrynn, I hereby request your surrender.
King Rastakhan: You…an exile without a homeland…you dare invade dese sacred halls and demand dat I turn my kingdom over to you?
King Rastakhan: De Zandalari built an empire dat would endure for over ten-thousand years…while your barbaric ancestors scuffled in de dirt.
King Rastakhan: WE conquered this world. WE brought it glory. You…you are nothing. Merely de latest in a long line of savages seeking to undermine our greatness.
King Rastakhan: No, I will not surrender. Because no matter what happens here today…Zandalar will stand long after your Alliance has crumbled to dust.
King Rastakhan: But if you are so eager to meet Bwonsamdi…den step forward. De Loa of Death awaits!
King Rastakhan: Zandalar forever!
Genn Greymane: So be it. Heroes… you know what must be done.

Yeah, I just did the fight. The “Alliance adventurers” kill Rastakhan, not Jaina. Only Genn and Shaw are with them in the throne room. I suppose Jaina and Gelbin are off preparing to slow down the approaching Horde?

Okay I’ll change the wording to “part of the force that invaded their city and killed their King”. Sentiment is still basically the same since Jaina acts as the main antagonist for the Horde throughout BoD but thank you for clarifying the events Alliance side for me.
Technically the Alliance doesn’t kill him, either. They leave with him alive. It’s Bwonsamdi’s power that actually consumes him while in Talanji’s arms.
After the Alliance was wailing on him. One doesn’t happen without the other.
My whole point anyway is about Baine sucking though, not the Alliance.
