So…she was afraid of losing them, so she killed them herself? Yea, that makes sense.
She was shown to be an authoritarian dictator. She did what any authoritarian dictator would do, and silenced anyone who she thought might even consider a different way of life.
She’s a bit all over the place. Garrosh sort of had the same problem, having different writers for Stonetalon than in other places, for instance. That said, Garrosh was at least… consistently “pro-Horde”. His Horde, but pro-Horde.
If they try to kill Tyrande off by making her a villian. Yet leaving Sylvannas around still. Would kinda show favoritism. Unless there just rehashing horde story into alliance story. By having Tyrande become the alliance version of Sylvannas. Means Danuser and the rest of the narrative team can’t come up with a compelling story. Activ should really consider find a replacement for him. After the garbage that was darkshore.
I’m sure in a few years we’ll all be asking ourselves whats a night elf hehe heh…sad sigh that poor tree…
Not sure I could live with that. We’ll see I guess.
I see absolutely nothing that proves this.
Owait. Clark thread. Nevermind.
walks out
They did say a tearful moment for Tyrande in Shadowlands though
Is that not what journalists do?
I feel this is a disconnect between the author of the book and the game writers. And yes I know that for Before the Storm it was Christie Golden who is also a game writer, but she had only been a permanent empoyee at blizz for a little over a year when BtS came out and we don’t know when she started or what info she had for the future of the character. (not to mention you have more control over a novel vs a game with a whole team of writers).
The biggest reason I think Christie didn’t know blizz’s intentions for Sylvanas at the time she was writing was because of her inner conversation with herself about becoming warchief.
While completely alone (so she had no reason to “fake” anything) she had a short conversation in her head (so even if she was being spied on no one could have overheard, so again no reason to fake/lie about anything). She “cursed” vol’jin and his Loa for putting her in the position of warchief.
A very weird conversation to have with yourself if you in fact it was part of you plan to be in power so you could fulfill the wishes of the powers of the shadowland who you had made a deal with.
IMO the problem is that she’s the victim of having too many writers with their own ideas of who sylvanas is, was, or should be. So we end up with all knowing, power hungry, unstoppable villain who still technically has the chance of a “for the greater good” situation that’s basically illidan’s whole story turned up to 11.
Can’t we just retcon the entirety of BFA into just a bad dream? From N’Zoth, who’s still chilling at the beach?
The stretch is people taking some rewritten quest text as "Oh God, they’re retconning the War of Thorns! WAAAAGH!
Considering blizz’s prvious attempts at “writing” lore, I’m quite fine with them ignoring us.
Well… portraying the Forsaken as “protectors of the living” is, if not a straight retcon, a development that needs far more time in the oven.
