At first I was like “Hell yeah Shadowlands!”
…
Now I’m like “Hell yeah Mists of Pandaria!”
Expansion’s stories have been like a build up. Hell even WoD had me wondering what was gonna happen.
But Shadowlands… So predictable.
Sylvanas helps kill/defeat the Jailor and gets redeemed.
Honestly not even interested in the story anymore. Because we all know she gets a redemption arc.
nah, they’re gonna pull some victim-complex bullcrap about her soul being split by arthas with frostmourne, and gonna be all ‘she only did bad things cause bad things happened to her!’ nonsense.
or like, ‘it was’nt her, it was the half of her ripped out by frostmourne, like blue-uther!’. i’m bettin it’s gonna be one of those two.
Make Sylvanas a Gnome or an Elmo and then we’ll talk!
I honestly never expected Anduin to kill off his own lineage by dying a Virgin…
(Points to pregnant gnome belly)
I’m still holding out that the real antagonist will be reveled and Lady Moonberry will be unmasked as Chromie in a moth suit and the tyranny of quests that turn us into a moths will finally be over.
i did’nt expect to get mental images like this from a thread… but, it’s 11:56-ish here, so… it’s probably sunday somewhere…
The pinnacle was Wotlk. Anything after that is just something to do.
Basing that on…? Sounds like a plan. We don’t know though, no one knows. It’s unknown. 
I think the SL has done a great job of being mysterious and unpredictable. But Sylvanas is very unlikely to get redeemed. 95% chance she’s going to die, 1% chance of redemption. 4% we start a dance off contest with her.
This is being painted as her finale and endgame in every way. Even if she survived or did one decent act in the last moment her character still has no future anymore on Azeroth. All bridges have been burned.
I hope we lose,a figth for a change.
I am tired of winning. Let the jailer win and fullfil his purpuse, then defeated abd tired we find a form to stop him.
That is 50% more interesting that winning
If you make the brush strokes broad enough everything is easy to predict; this reads like you’re just another person mad about Sylvanas. Which is fine, you’re entitled to your opinion- but lets not pretend.
Keep Anduin “evil” and making him the new leader for the Forsaken and then Warchief would be a delicious twist. Then everything would get undone in next expact with him getting saved because the Horde losing warchiefs is a predictable thing.
Unfortunately this has been pretty much confirmed, and man do I wish it was not the case.
Indeed. Big dumb bad guy with no back story is big dumb meatheaded bad guy.
It’s symptomatic of the times, it seems to be the norm these days to write generic garbage with the mentality that it is pure genius
The curse of Californification, I’m afraid. all of it.
Soon to be Queen of Stormwind as a Night Elf.
Certainly a Wild development.
Light preserve us
I don’t expect anything amazing from the ending; here’s to next xpac, I guess 
This is absolutely cursed. I hate this so much.
Me reacting to the story by now : 
i slep
I’m hoping Sylvanas gets redeemed and THEN Tyrande straight murders her and chucks her redeemed soul into one of those bottomless pits in Torghast. Alliance has been needing to do something straight evil again for awhile, and this would be one of the few evil things that they could do that would make sense and have the Alliance playerbase (and the Horde playerbase, tbh) cheering.
