And see, I don’t mind that she won its how she is doing it. Instead of being tactical, instead of using the “arrows in her quiver”, IE what she has called the people she uses for her own benefit before, she instead goes in like an Anime Character and uses brute strength and powers she got out of nowhere taking on not only an army of undead AND Bolvar at the same time.
I commented on the intro cinematic and how she could have won and it would have been believable, using Dark Rangers and Nathanos as well as a repaired lantern from Legion instead of manifesting chains from nowhere. Instead it just feels absurd.
Sylvanas’ greatest strengths should be how tactical and manipulative she is, she is at her best when working from the shadows and using others to her benefit.
This new Sylvanas spits in the face of everything leading up to her in a way that makes Garrosh’s absurd approval of old god powers seem logical by comparison.
Of course not, its how she won the fight that I take issue with. I won’t speak for others but I honestly feel like the biggest problem is HOW she is winning not that she is winning her fights.
Again, she now randomly has physical strength that puts Baine and even strong Warrior’s like Saurfang to shame? That she gets hit with a literal bus sized chunk of Saronite and not even a scratch?
I get they are hyping her up being like “OOoooooh~ Look at all this power the Jailer has given her!” but its too much out of nowhere all for this whole “Rule of Cool” thing. It does not come off as cool, it comes off as over the top and unearned.
