Personally, I really really – REAAALLY hope, that it’s not Alleria to take down Xal’atath.
Having a hunter take out the priest’s artifact weapon just feels … I don’t know, kind of insulting? lol
Having Anduin play a major role I probably wouldn’t mind, but he’s had quite a lot of screen time … Personally I’d love for Velen to make a reprisal return and be the one to do it, however I know peeps will have a sook “He got to shine in Legion!”
So honestly I think the best person to take down Xal’atath would be:
Queen-Regent Moira Thaurissan
Give the Dwarves some more shine
Whilst giving the priests a token nod too.
Perhaps with a Horde character who gets some beef with Xal’atath, to throw in some faction-equality (I’m guessing if she void-nukes the Sunwell, there’s gonna be a Blood Elf somewhere who wants to choke her – and not in the erotic way).
But yeah
I’d be welcomingly happy with Alleria gaining intel & helping the other prime character overcome void obstacles though.
I never went all googoo over Xalatath. Everyone else in Legion was like “AMG! Knaifu!” , before she even got her Elf body in BfA. And Alleria is competing with Vareesa for most boring Windrunner - even Lirath is more interesting. At least he could play music.
That made me burst out laughing. I didn’t think “dude” when I first saw the picture. But it is not the best portrayal of Xalatath, to be sure.
Yeah, I’m not a fan of the composition much in the same way you’re describing. I think if they didn’t want to the blend the faces more for thematic reasons they could’ve had them in profile, back to back, and still had a really cool composition.
I’m not talking about unique though. What I mean is that this new model of Alleria has pretty much nothing that would tell me it’s Alleria without someone else telling me it’s Alleria.
