Has anyone noticed the whole painting? We have this comic with old anduin together with velen being prepared for the "final battle between the light and the darkness", an event that is hinted in the wow's website. Time runs different down there in the maw at very least. So it seems that anduin and sylvanas will spend decades there doing the daily over and over. However, in azeroth time will go at a different pace, so after turalyon goes full light crazy dictator they will come back, and when the void strikes the alliance will have its former king again.Idk but it seems a fair punishment considering the time spent there. We all do love torghast and the maw, right? /s
She really assassin's creed jumped into the maw
How is this an analysis? You wrote what is obvious and exactly what Blizzard wants you to see.
The best ending for the mess it's trying to tie up. Killing her would be punishing a victim and letting her off scott-free would be forgiving an abuser. Since they made her both the best path they could have taken is for her to work through her issues not for herself, but for her victims. I also loved the touch of Anduin looking like he was about to speak but deciding not to. It felt like he was second-guessing himself because of his guilt - probably doesn't feel he has the right to say anything in regards to her punishment at this stage.
What's to analyze? Everything's dumb.
Quick reminder that Sylvanas has made the Maw her home base for the entire expansion, knows how it works, wields its power, etc-- this is hardly Hell for her. It's house arrest. And it's prioritizing the victims? Full punishment? Hardly. The rest of the Horde is still off scot free while the Night Elves are an endangered species, Teldrassil is a smoking ruin and Darkshore is plagued beyond recognition. Blizzard and its remaining fans seem convinced that this somehow makes things even.... The majority of the Night Elves are still dead. This isn't even punishment OR restitution for killing them, it's punishment for also redirecting their souls. That's it. That's as far as it goes.
Forced to do Maw Daylies indefinitely. Yikes.
Ugh, I'm even more annoyed with this story after reading the comments that others have posted. It's complete and total garbage. Yes, it's a "soft punishment", a phrase I never thought would be a thing but here we are. Condemnation to the Maw for eternity? Cool. But rescuing the souls--the souls that *she* condemned in the first place--one wailing wisp at a time? For years upon years? My gosh. So souls just get to wait in line and suffer while they wait on their "hero" (who is also their villain) to save them? This is just gross. Absolutely gross. Chunk a couple hundred volunteers down there to help scoop up the wandering souls and send them home. Don't force their suffering to be prolonged. And that's got to be some PTSD-inducing madness... the person who ruined your existence now being the one who is forced to save you.
I dunno why she's so pissed off elune said she made the tree burn. She wanted to send the souls to the shadow lands. Sylvanus was just her conduit to get them there.
Hold on! So Tyrande just forces her owl companion to spend the rest of eternity in the Maw as well? What a heartless @&^%$
im just happy we got this over with, the whole expansion is so bad and focused on stuff that people either simp for or absolutely hate such as sylvanas while completely breaking other points the game has had for years just to pretend that the jailer was such a threat.lets just all scrub this expansion from our minds and move on lmao
The hyper focus on Sylvanas spoiled all enjoyment I ever had with Warcraft story. And this weak excuse of a punishment only serves as an insult to injury.I just can't bring myself to play WoW ever again. Moreso because I always played Horde. Now every single time when the relationship between Alliance and Horde gets brought up in the story, ME, my character is going to be blamed by something Sylvanas did. And I hated every single of her decisions from the beginning. I hate feeling guilty for playing on the Horde side. Because of a character who was never a Horde character to begin with. Formerly Alliance, she joined just out of convenience to protect herself, and then she took over and abused the Horde.I thought that the Silver lining of Shadowlands story would be that we finally kill Sylvanas after such a long time. Yet no, we can't have that. Countless of other characters were unceremoniously killed off. Ner'zhul, Kel'Thuzad, Arthas, Even Garrosh. He did go out with a bang, but his appearance and forever disappearance was sudden. No build up, no pay off. The entire Warcraft franchise sacrificed all the story and character potential of so many stories and characters to serve one purpose - Sylvanas's arc. Everyone was pawn in her scheme after all. But the scheme was not her 4D chess. It was the writers making everything to serve plot about her. And anything that didn't contribute to the grand finale of her character was just pushed from the table. There was no other character who was being developed this entire expansion.I would hope that the next character the writers get fixated upon will not be this horrible. But there is no way their storytelling will improve after what they just demonstrated.
"Arbiter Pelagos says: There can be no true justice without compassion... and I can see your deeds bear the mark of the Jailer's influence. An influence we failed to contain."So where is the compassion for Arthas?One of the most complex WoW characters, probably the coolest boss, as Lich King. Kind of the Darth Vader of WoW. Where is the understanding and compassion for this character?He didn't get any chance for a real judgment and Blizzard just left things like this? I guess no true justice has been done in Arthas's case. All of your Shadowlands expansion is all over the place, without any bounds and rules. Just empty words that have no meaning.Oh, and btw, those judging so hasty are just a bunch of animals, there is no sign of any wisdom in these "heroes" minds, with a few minor exceptions, and even those coming a little too late to matter. I guess they only reflect their writer's own character.Poor, poor writers, that obviously don't know what they're doing.
