Her story has been technically done since wotlk/cata. Should of killed her back then when you had the chance to have a great death for her. Now what are you gonna do? Keep telling this horrible story of her or kill her off meaninglessly?
Jaina’s story is just starting to get good.
At the very least, the ha-whooping we give her in Zuldazar should knock some of the crazy out of her.
Yeah, maybe next expansion she’ll have two floating boats.
Not likely, since the ship she raised was her father’s only ship.
After reading this I for some reason pictured Jaina riding on two tiny little floating boats, one foot on each one. I don’t know why, but it made me laugh.
Remember the conversation we had about this exact topic in another thread?
I remind you: Sylvanas literally killed herself after Arthas’ death. That was the natural end of her arc. She should’ve stayed dead.
Next.
I don’t know. We will have to wait and see how they finish off Sylvanas first. I mean her story arch finished, and they killed her off. Now here we are.
I swear! Get out of my head!
I say burn her… then later raise her as forsaken… then tied to a donkey and have her dragged back into SW.
I said it first! Weeks ago.
Time traveling head witch!
The Void has granted me great power. I am more powerful now than I ever was as a night elf.
I have found Jaina to be about the only character to receive constant, meaningful development throughout the expansions.
Until WotLK, she was completely pro-peace and a Horde sympathizer. She was one of the most willing to work with them during WC3 because of the bigger picture.
She suffered great trauma in Cata due to Garrosh and turned anti Horde to the extreme, which gave some off-screen development on her reflecting on basically betraying her people for nothing.
They kept her in an I hate the Horde rampage until BfA, and now they have brought her back around by confronting the demons and mistakes of her past.
So objectively speaking, she is a strong character with more to offer now that she is a recognized military leader within the Alliance.
Edit: Jaina would also serve as a very strong foil if they ever wanted to bring Thrall back into the story and move the narrative back toward a truce / peace arc.
Jaina’s seriously the best developed character in the game at this point. Still living, that is.
She’s cray cray af lol. I’m not a big fan. Poor girl is slightly unhinged. I’d probably dig it more if she wasn’t human. Unhinged nelf would be cool.
As for killing people off… Lord please can Thrall go once and for all? He ruined the Horde by abandoning it and popping in when he feels to save the day. No thank you Green Jesus, please take your first exit. Also #GarroshDidNothingWrong
I’m hoping she just realizes that Dazar’alor is a port city and just wipes it off the face of the planet with a massive tidal wave, just like she should’ve done with Orgrimmar.
I think her genocidal tendencies have been tempered, sadly. We’re Alliance, we can’t go doing to the Horde what they do to us.
Well there was that time in Vanilla where Sylvanas was going through a Nelf phase. But like all angsty teens, she grew out of it.
Tbh, don’t understand the Jaina hate. Her story is one of the best.
