Seems quite likely they’ll stick to form as they roll on Kerrigan 2.0, so isn’t a totally off base assumption they’ll do something.
Already there myself.

This will probably be quoted out of context.
But i really love Afrasiabi.
Guy singlehandedly killed blizzard. Thank you.
Where was this written?
Did you… even remotely watch the cinematic?

Did you pay attention? The Jailer got the souls, they are gone, obliterated.

Why not wait to see if they’re actually going to do it before being upset about it in what is basically an unrelated cutscene?
No, and I don’t have to.
At the end of the day, War happened to the Night elves. Teldrassil sucks but your bloodlust is demanding reparations in ways that nobody alliance side has ever had to come close to paying.

Come on, this is not bloodthirstiness. Just kill all the natural gods of the Horde and destroy the souls of their dead druids, hunters and trolls.
Nothing serious.
Whether it’s the case when I suggested drowning Orgrimmar in acid, infecting Mulgore with Nightmare, and destroying Stormgradrad with a violent flowering …
Or at least the mass execution of the entire older generation of the Horde in front of the younger generation.
They were already doing that with the Wild Gods, and it was not enough. Don’t you remember the cinematic from the start of the expansion?
They are trying to preserve the spirits in their care - deleting them whole-sale for their anima would actually hasten Ardenwields demise, not restore it.
Under current circumstances the souls would have still gone to the Maw. Under prior circumstances the Arbiter would still judge each soul and send them to their appropriate afterlife, so there would be no guarantee that Ardenweild would get their anima. It wouldn’t do you any good.
Believe you me, the Horde is already had to suffer through the same story you have, just with the word villain plastered over their forehead by the same uninspired writers that glued victim to yours.
Rooting for more suffering is just rooting for more of the terrible writing I think we would all rather get away from.

Are you trying to insinuate that the Night Elves lost any Wild Gods?
Because… ya didnt.

I am not “upset”, just displeased with it. And they said “Wait and see” back in BFA as well, so. It’s fun to speculate and adjust expectations - like being an Arsenal fan, for example.
I’m telling you elves, humanistic force philosophy is where it’s at. Can’t put your faith in specific deities in this universe.
Consider discussing it more with your local branch of the Church of the Holy Light.

That Elune didn’t bother to check where the souls would end up, or why there was an Anima shortage in the first place before sending her favorite souls to the afterlife?
Thought that was pretty evident…
If these are indeed your favorite children, you think you’d do a little research as to why the giant vortex of Souls is feeding only to the Maw…
How is that not incompetence? Only thing I can think of, is Elune knew where the souls were going and did it on purpose.

Shouldn’t be making “rope” jokes like that.
They lost Ursoc.
That’s it.
And it’s not like the Tauren druids didn’t worship him as well.

I enjoyed the music, and it was a very good looking cutscene, at least. But it does seem like they’re working to fix what was slacked off on in BfA. Again, it seems haphazard to an extent, and there’s a lot of cut material that the Shadowlands stuff is acting as if it’s there.
I think the implication is less that Elune didn’t know souls were going to the Maw, but was unable to intervene enough to save the Burning victims and instead tried to intercept them and send them to Ardenweald, but failed. So it could be that they were snatched en-route and she didn’t know, which isn’t good but is slightly better.
This cutscene, and the one where Tyrande fights Sylvanas, both seem to be written and designed around the idea of there having been a far more active Night Warrior arc, in BfA, and more showcasing of the kaldorei fighting the Horde and taking vengeance. Essentially the last expansion is like a ball and chain holding the current stuff back.
