[SPOILERS] Baine rescue cinematic

[Gladwell-wyrmrest-accord (Gladwell)]

I had a whole post about this in the other thread about the same subject.

To specify why I say this is beyond absurd;

1. What sort of justification is ‘Thunderbluff is the enemy if Baine escaped custody!!!’? How could anyone be so naive to think that the Tauren aligned with the Horde would ever side with them if the Warchief set fire to it? Is this some Deus Vult “God will know his own” bit they’re trying to pitch to further add onto the Horde “ArE We ThE BaDdIeS?!” bull(profanity) that the Horde audience has gotten this entire expansion? Why would Sylvanas even do something so hilariously shortsighted? Sylvanas’ character assassination is ridiculously out of whack. Sylvanas, as a character true to her design, would never do something to insanely stupid that’d sacrifice both a key to power and all the assets it provides.
2. How would they put the assets forward for assaulting a city built atop a plateau? There is an entire war that has to be fought still, even if they didn’t move on the city and instead elected to try and starve them out (a failing effort, given that they’re so steeped in druidic and shamanistic heritage that famine in a bountiful place like Mulgore seems unlikely to work). The Horde’s currently on the backfoot, it has to deliver a win so devastating that they can see to internal political affairs and settle other issues without an outside party taking advantage of the Horde’s discombobulated state (chiefly, the Alliance, who has every reason to dismantle the Horde after Teldrassil.)

Like… seriously? What the (profanity) is this? Who thought this was a good idea? Who nodded their heads and said; ‘this would be a great story :)’.

Granted, Thrall could be full of (profanity) and would be wrong to assume Thunderbluff is a target, but everything else we’ve gotten turned out to be exactly as bad as initially thought, so, like, I’m not inclined to believe they’re just writing Thrall to not be the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Now, more than ever, we need dialogue between the writing team and the community.
