Sylvanas would be a forgotten shade in a 5-man heroic dungeon and all life on the planet would have ceased to exist if Thrall hadn’t stopped Deathwing from performing his final Cataclysm.
No, it can’t.
Wait, wait, let me just take a wild guess at how you’ll respond: “Personally, Sylvanas’s actions served my interests more than Thralls’ did, therefore from my perspective, Sylvanas’s actions are heavier.”
Right? Because from your PoV if it doesn’t serve you, particularly, then the impact is diminished.
I chose to diminish that which didn’t exist in the narrative not too long ago is now all of a sudden in the narrative with very little to no context leading up to it. I could say the same about you expanding and exaggerating the importance of her actions to support your argument as well.
Did Sylvanas fund the orphanage in Orgrimmar? Did she commend the soldiers who died to protect her city?
What has she done to garner such immense respect from Horde races that they would choose her over their own racial leaders?
Ill say it again, cuz apparently you think I’m just making this up on the fly due to my great dissatisfaction with the sorry.
The narrative does not support the fact that Sylvanas has the favor of the people.
A funeral in which she vowed to avenge him, which is what got the crowd cheering? A vow which she neglected in favor of furthering her own personal agenda. A vow she failed to follow through on.
- A parade she barely wanted to host in the first place because it reminded her of something that Garrosh would do.
- That parade was “Sourpuss’s” idea in the first place and she likely wouldn’t have thrown if he didn’t advise her to do so.
A feast that she walked off in the middle of to scheme behind the backs of the other Horde leaders with Gallywix.
It was flattery at best, and it’s that same Baine who is now at the executioners axe beneath Orgrimmar because he undermined Sylvanas’s honorless methods.
Look where all those “good” deeds got her, absolutely nowhere.
