Well... I mean.. to someone like J Allen Brack that shamelessly chugs the Chinese jizzhose, makes non-apologies, and told fans "you think you want classic, but you really don't" this is probably morally grey from where he is standing.

[@cmdrblade2485]

At 4:20 they did make Sylvanas sympathetic in a way. Everyone acts like they know loss to the extent she does, but they didn’t have their soul absorbed and twisted by Frostmourne. Then come back and have your sanity again, knowing you could never go back. In this war, her tactics..... is to reproduce the pain she felt from Arthas and show the rest of the world on how she actually lost more than they have. Cuz even Aduin acted like her equal... knowing her pain. When in reality he hasn’t even scratched the surface of her loss.

"Sylvanus wasn't an asshole" from some one who didn't bother to read her standard response or listen to the Undead liading screen.

[@chase5436]

Sylvanas' motives should have been so clear and easy. "I can never protect you from dying while you are living. Eternal life in death." No Jailer, no Shadowlands, could have just made her a tragic character that showed the insidious nature of undeath in a different form than Arthas.

Lich queen sylvanas and remake Northernd

[@eldenringpvpenthusiast1710]

she took revenge of the sunwell on the wrong people, and made them suffer something similar as herself

[@Fardragon]

The whole point was to obliterate the Alliance foothold on Kalimdor. Initially she wanted to invade and conquer Teldrassil, but upon realizing that if she didn't burn it, the Alliance would try to retake it, because there was still hope, she had to change her plan... She thought they would march against the Undercity first and move on to besiege Silvermoon. But she remembered how foolish she was, to think she could save her home against the Scourge, realizing the moment her soul was ripped out of her body by Frostmourne, that she couldn't save anything... She wanted to destroy that hope, that led Sylvanas down her path, so Kalimdor would fall to the Horde alone without any more bloodshed cauz' mages and stuff and so would Silithus. She could take the Undercity and Silvermoon back later... first priority falls to the Azerite... for the sake of the Horde...

[@Vinzenzx]

good, someone that know their shit =D

[@rarewock]

I agree it was a bad but nescessary decision to make due to teldrassil being to difficult to conquer itself so she had to change the plan to fully eliminating the alliance prescense on Kalimdor itself by burning the tree

[@Nightshroud20]

Are we really supposed to believe the Horde demolishers can fire their payload from the coast of Darkshore across the sea and hit Teldrassil? Srsly?

[@Fardragon]

Well, someone has to... I feel there is too much hate going on right now towards Sylvanas... I mean come on... that is a totally rational decision from a chess players pov...

Man, I miss Garrosh. If this cinematic showed Garrosh instead of her it would be so much better just cause it would make much more sense with him. So sad they didn't do much with Voljin either. Imagine if Voljin was the good guy with the Horde and the Alliance were the bad ones for once. Oh well, at least Sylvanas loses her precious Undercity and all of Lordaeron to Anduin.

Famothas in other comment you don't even know the story of this expansion

[@Kaleestraza]

It was Metzen that wrote Sylvanas kidnapping humans to experiment on them and make them her slaves since Vanilla, torturing citizens like Koltira into compliance, and unnecessarily using the Blight to obliterate the men, women, and children of the neutral nation of Gilneas, lmao.

[@jamiejones412]

My take on Sylvanas is that she used to fight for her people, to protect them from their enemies, but when she was killed by The Lich King and she saw how she couldn't protect anyone she ended up falling into a depraved and hopeless state and thus becoming an embodiment of that. Now all she lives for is to bring that same pain and lose of hope that she once felt to the people she once used to protect, as a sort of twisted revenge for how they indirectly made her feel that intense pain. Which is a bit of a stretch but I can see how it manifested that way due to the vulnerable state she was in that allowed such a drastic change of morals to take effect.

sylvanas has always been bad,the problem are the other leaders of the horde you cant see saurfang standing still while sylvanas kills unarmed civilians and children, he put honor in front of everything. this is lazy and bad writing with all the money blizzard have they can't make a good story by lore point. sry for bad eng

I don't mind her i hate night elf so im ok with the burning, but by a lore point the other horde leader will never be ok whit such an action , garrosh was well written by the lore point and the others in the horde dont agree with him, instead here they are ok whit everything Sylvanas does

Sylvanas has always commited this type of war crimes... She fooled Garithos and the dreadlords, she never stopped the the plague from being experimented, she almost took the val'kyr's queen as a hostage, she was to poison Garrosh in prison... She killed her own followers in the dead/living meeting. She was never gray. We all know Sylvanas is mad because Arthas raised her as an undead. All because she reminded him of Jaina... And not to mantion, she planned an ambush to kill her sisters in order to raise them. I like her as a baddy though, always have...

[@rssiya2601]

lich queen

[@BLsurprise]

I find this scene very Ironic, from what I remember back in War 3 where she tried to make a haven for the lost and tortured undead souls to bring comfort or some happiness, now taking the very steps of her killer and the one who twisted her to become this. She is no benevolent ruler, she aint no great tactician or leader,there are no motives or goals to justify this stupidity. There is nothing that truly helps her become anything else then pathetic, not even evil and it goes to show how shit the writing is. Its not even someone as evil as Arthas, just a wanna be, a very bootleg wanna be.

Right so I know the latest book covers this part. So to any book readers, why did she do what she did?

[@jelledesmet7086]

Book doesn't cover the Burning

[@Neluv]

The "explanation" is that the Alliance was using that island as port to send Azerite to Stormwind and Sylvannas wanted to stop that at any cost. Still didn't think that is a good explanation and to be honest, as an Horde druid player since BC, for the first time I'm thinking of going Alliance just because I can't relate with following Sylvannas in any ways. I really wanted to get anything to hold on to the Horde, but tomorrow I'll start playing again and atm I'm thinking of going Alliance to be honest.

[@Vinzenzx]

Famothas just said in this comment section why, you should read it ^^

[@jelledesmet7086]

To be fair, the stopping of Darnassus as an Alliance port was explained, but her reasons for the actual burning seem to be 'triggered by dying night elf' if we are to believe this video.

[@Fardragon]

jelle de smet The point is, that the Alliance would try to retake Darnassus, as long as there is still hope... she remembers how foolish she tried to stop the Scourge marching upon Silvermoon, because she had the same hope to save someone, just to be slaughtered and forced to realize, that she couldn't save anything... The whole point of that war is to get the Alliance off Kalimdor... to get the Azerite for the Horde alone and force the Alliance into submission under the Horde Hegemony. Sylvanas is a General and doesn't play the battle but the war.
