Looks like a series I need to invest some time into checking out. Thanks for the heads up, OP!

Yup the non cheesy in game cut scenes aside, the cinematics team has been pretty solid all around thus far and that ‘‘announce’’ trailer for 11.0 was top notch.
Not always.
Dragons are sentient beings and have feelings etc. They had to check om granny and if she wasnt ok well they go savage on the people hurting granny.

I’m just annoyed with the way they speak. Alexstrasza is the worst. She always sounds like she’s making some epic anime speech.
Long pauses, overly dramatic emphasis on everything…. And she’s just talking about random quests or something.

bad writing doesn’t bother you if you stop reading the quest text 
I haven’t cared about it in years.
You all just made up a bunch of lore in your head after not reading quest text when you were 15, went “oh, cool, dragon!!!”

Then she can lament over all those lost lives and there should have been a better way but it was necessary. 
Sure the Red Flight was “powerless”, but there still a good number to Burninate their foes.
But the Alexstraza would probably feel guilty that her Flight could be so destructive.
This isn’t even what the young generation wants 
Idk who they’re targeting at all

Isn’t it Fortnite, COD, and other FPS looter shooters with Gacha mechanics and sweet skins that can be traded for RL cash?
I think Blizz has tried that and somehow flubbed it. So if they bonked that who knows what would happen if they tried to apply that to WoW. Besides funny compilations of people raging in voice chat.
it has been a painful storyline.
the only exception being Sindragosa holding back so we kill her to end the pain. That little flash in the Blue storyline was epic to me.

I was thinking more like LoL and Arcane which doesn’t seem that light and fluffy in terms of the story. The quick-hit dopamine thing is definitely something that’s more characteristic of that generation, but I don’t see how light & fluffy correlates to that. I usually think of them as jaded and quick to insult people so I’d imagine they’d be into things that are more edgy and got an attitude.

This has happened in…like…every WoW story.
There are beings stronger than the player that either dont act to their power, disappear for whatever reason, etc.
I don’t think they all need to be fierce and savage. It’d be nice if they were different from each other, though. Right now they all come off as the same flavor of soft and weepy.
Paw Patrol! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
(I hate that I know the theme song and call to action themes, but that’s what happens when you babysit for a few years lol)

I’m doing the legendary staff quest from the Firelands and at one point you need to go to the Caldera and infiltrate The Nexus.
The blue dragons are like “lesser creatures are forbidden here!”
And well, one. Rude. Second I remembered that dragons used to be kind of scary and at least a little mysterious.
Bellular gave you your opinion.
To me, it is that rehashing of “I’m a god/elemental/dragon but alas need you mortals help” that causes a few cutscenes to be exited in a blink of an eye and more interested in side quests and those NPCs then the Main quest and those NPCs. (Unless Khadgar or Wrathion’s involved.)

the speech isnt the problem, its the fact that its an epic end fight speech that has nothing solid backing it up. you are just supposed to stand up and clap like its Avengers Endgame but without the first wave or two of Marvel movies to give it purpose. They keep trying to pull a MCU but end up pulling a DC, making unearned gravitas moments that fall flat and feel ultra shallow.
Its like they pull a power of friendship moment with a bunch of characters that have barely spent 5 minutes in the same room over the last 10 years. Hard to pull the power of friendship when the player cant really see them as barely acquaintances let alone actual friends.

I think the bigger issue is that they are trying to capture that epic feeling without doing it the Warcraft way. WoD sucked, sure, but the questing experience was full of those Warcrafty moments that made you feel something. Legion had its fair share of those moments as well.
