Posted 2021/08/10 at 2:31 PM by Neryssa

WARNING: Story spoilers below! Do not continue scrolling if you don't want to be spoiled!

Uther: By the Light! Jaina Proudmoore, is that you?
Jaina: Uther? Uther! A... Kyrian?! Of course. It... it suits you.
Uther: I barely recognized you, my lady. The last time we spoke was at...
Jaina: Stratholme. After the culling.
Uther: I remember. You still think of him too, don't you? Even after all these years.
Jaina: I've tried to put the past behind me. Now, with what's been done to Anduin... all those painful memories have flooded back again.
Uther: Memories are like mirrors. They show us parts of ourselves, sometimes parts we'd like to forget. But you can choose what lessons to carry forward, and what to leave behind.
Jaina: I loved him, you know.
Uther: As did I. Take that love with you, Jaina. Let it lend you strength in dark times.
Jaina: Thank you, Uther. Can you stay a while and talk? There's so much I'd like to share...

Comment by LeafstaggerNeat and isolated character moments like this is where they excel. It's just that they fail at storytelling with their grand reveals and cinematics.Comment by Dejo93Subtle, BlizzComment by ablockGood to see that Blizzard remembered characters that interacted in WC3.

Unlike tyrande and Illidan at the end of the Nighthold.Comment by CrypticedgeRemovedComment by Rising447No mention of Jaina's talks with the spirit of uther near the end of wrath. Both in halls of reflection as well as at the end of the ICC raid (okay they didn't talk there but they were 10ft away from each other)Comment by WillowwhispNeat and isolated character moments like this is where they excel. It's just that they fail at storytelling with their grand reveals and cinematics.Comment by khaldronThis is cool and all but its so little, the Anduin cinematic is so short, why cant these characters have long conversations? Think of what they've been through, all they have to say to each other is like 11 lines of text? Thats the problem with WoW, they don't let us spend enough time with these characters, we play an expansion for 2 years or more and we get like 5 minutes of reading from each of them at max except for the 2-3 main characters.Comment by OartholomewThe 'deeper' (I use that term loosely) we get into Shadowlands lore, the more inconsistencies I can think of. Blizzard opening the "afterlife" door is just so messy. Why is Warcraft becoming Star Wars?Comment by KarigalUther being twice Jaina's size feels a little bizarre, nglComment by Frozencat12 weeks of time-gated content to have the same conversation they had last time, with worse writing than S2 of Heroes during the WGA strike.Comment by Munzta"Buy the book to learn more of their conversation."

I feel like this is being done way too much by now. Same story with Thrall and Draka, Mograine Jr. and his father.Comment by SabrielNovakNeat and isolated character moments like this is where they excel.

The strong female charcter still in love wiht the bad guy and her love will save him. because the bad guy was just a kid who was suffering, and not a adult man doing what exactly he wanted to...
it was his girlfriend fault he turned a bad guy.
..duh.
XDComment by HadesilloI don't remember Jaina's and Uther friendship to had ever been explored. But of course, being Arthas paladin teacher and girlfriend respectively, they must have met often in around Capital City.Comment by AxildurUther was split into two parts: one sent into Frostmourne that we see throughout WotLK and one sent to the afterlife that we see throughout the Kyrian campaign. Same story as with Sylvanas: each part knows nothing of the other.
I agree it's surprising Jaina would deduce this so fast as to not discuss the WotLK part with him right then, also how quickly she's to accept Kyrian Uther after seeing Anduin dominated - unless of course the Jaina we liberated is also dominated by the Jailer or is a Dreadlord serving Denathrius :))
