Letā€™s be honest.

If we were doing a play for play of any JoJo season weā€™d all be happy.

Iā€™d pay money for Sylvanas to drop an Azerite Extractor on Anduin.

It is frightening and exciting how well her screaming ā€œMudaā€ repeatedly as she does so fits.

Anduin: Sylvanas!

Sylavanas: Oh? Youā€™re approaching me? Instead of running away, youā€™re coming right to me? Even though your father figure, Genn, told you the secret of Xalā€™atath?

Anduin: I canā€™t end this war without getting closer.

Sylvanas: Oh ho! Then come as close as you like!

The more I think about it, the more I want it.

Sylvanas and Anduin start a fight in the Frozen Throne with Bolvar observing everything.

Sylv: We will finish this where it all started
Anduin: This time there will be no Valkyr to save you, Banshee Queen.
Sylv: I need no salvation, boy king.

They clash in combat, Sylvanas using her dark magics and Anduin trying to reach out for the light. When heā€™s about to take the final blow, he tries as hard as he can to Lay on Hands himself, but without effect.

Bolvar: You Light cannot reach you here, Anduin Wrynn
Anduin: As long as the Light shines strong [lawful good speech and last words]. I fought with honor, I deserve a clean death.
Sylvanas: After all youā€™ve put me through, boy, the last I will give you is the peace of death.

She assumes her banshee form and screams atop of her lungs
O MAE WA MOUā€¦SHINDEIRU!

As she trepasses Anduinā€™s body, his soul come back to unlife, but the power of the Light is too strong in him. He returns as the first Lightbound male Banshee

Bolvar: NANI??

Good grief I need to stop.

Iā€™m conflicted. On one hand, logically I know itā€™s tiresome for almost everyone, myself included, that this is the potential third Saurfang-focused cinematic weā€™ve gotten this expansion.

On the other hand, the cinematics are the only time that Horde-aligned characters are allowed to be shown doing something other than killing other Horde members, so I find it more acceptable than I should.

Tyrande: Bastardā€¦ How many Night Elves did you kill to get that much plot?!

Sylvanas: Do you remember how many plot holes BfA has intruced?

Tyrande::angry:

Not my best work I admit

Custer was still considered an American hero despite genocide being his favorite activity. (Or perhaps because of it.) Dude was even considered a contender for the Presidency.

See, this is why ā€œHorde Civil Warā€ plot lines are bad for both factions. The Horde player base resists being made into villains, so Blizzard winds up putting a ton of resources into trying to convince us that, no, we really do want to raid our own capital or whatever. And the Alliance story gets sidelined because Blizzard is trying so hard to put lipstick on a pig for the Horde players.

Itā€™s robot cats all over again.

Edit: Also, I called this back when BfA was in beta. I even started a thread about why this sort of story conflict was bad for players in both factions. So if people on the forums could see it comingā€¦why canā€™t Blizzard?

Because Blizzard is actually PROUD of this. In their minds their work is flawless and the whole playerbase is wrong

I mean Iā€™m sure it will look and sound gorgeous. So, the art and music teams absolutely should be proud (for the whole of BFA, really) but the story devsā€¦

So it got removed. What exactly were we supposed to look at?

Some images of a CGI picturing Sadfang and Daddy Thrall

I donā€™t know who I feel worse for.

The Horde players who are fed up with this whole thing having to deal with another cinematic of Sadfang telling us how bad we are.

Or Alliance players who get to watch another cinematic that focuses on the Horde.
