    Why is not X in cibematics? [Spoilers]

    We can see almost all leaders in Broken Shore cinematics.
    But where is Jaina? In Beta videos she is present alongside Genn and joins Gelbin and Varian.
    She is one of the most powerful mages ever
    And we cant see her in cinematics
    She can teleport away entire armies and she isnot there when Alliance needs her. Wtf?
    Wc3 - Jaina teleports away human forces when Legion makes final push and repeats same with Horde forces. We can see it in Hyjal summit.
    In books she xan twleport away entire herds of Lizards
    She teleports away alliance army at tge end od Battle of Undercity. Etc
    She coukd have done same in Broken Shore

    Where is she?

    maybe because she was busy...? also it takes along time to teleport a large group... she would not have the time to prep for teleportation them out of there... also the power of fel surrounding them makes magic dificult to focus

    She didn't want to run into any of her dreadlord friends :3

    She may not have been in the cinematics (I haven't watched the Alliance ones) but she was there at the Broken Shore. When Tirion died, she screamed out.

    She doesn't appear in the cinematics (most likely in the background killing demons somewhere) but she is part of the Broken Shore event

    I do know that she is in Broken Shore, but why cant we see her in Cinematic?
    also she could save at least Varian...

    She uses teleportation only to assist in killing Alliance leaders. If she needs to teleport Rexxar so he can have a chance of killing her father later on, she will do it. If her teleportation by any chance saves a human, then she is strictly against it.

    He actually doesn't die there; the light does keep him around for a while. But Jaina doesn't know that ofc.

    Jaina is in the Broken Shore. She is just not shown in the cinematic.

    During the battle for the undercity, she mass-freezes and ports out the entire Alliance strike force (including Varian) before they can start fighting the Horde.

    The "Jaina is a dreadlord" meme is gaining more consistency.

    I pretty much take it as a fact now.

    I mean anyone who played the Alliance intro should at least rise an eyebrow.

    Also, how super convenient that she leaves the throne room JUST when the Demon Hunters make their appearance to Spectral Sight the shit out of everyone and everything

    It would make 0 sense for her to leave Dalaran as a dreadlord. What kind of dreadlord would abandon all the political ties they could abuse?

    She wasn't in the video because they wanted to focus on the other characters that simple.

    She left as jaina but remained as someone else. It could you. It could be me. It could even be the cake vendor girl. And now she is here to fuck us.

    I'm surprisingly okay with this.
    The reports of my death were surprisingly well-sourced and accurate.

    She wouldn't really have added anything to the cinematic that Genn didn't. She'd have had the same reaction to the Horde's retreat and the same response to Varian's death.

    But yeah, I imagine her story-breaking powers like mass teleportation are troublesome to write around. So instead they're not a factor at all.

    Jaina is taking a little break in Legion as a main alliance character, while Genn is taking over. In the WoW cinematics, it is very often the current central characters of the wow story, which is in focus during these "movies".
    May the lore be great and the stories interesting. A game without a story, is a game without a soul. Value the lore and it will reward you with fun!

    Don't let yourself be satisfied with what you expect and what you seem as obvious. Ask for something good, surprising and better. Your own standards ends up being other peoples standard.

    omg this Jaina = dreadlord bullshit is getting more and more retarded...

Why did only the Gnome, Human, and Worgen leaders make a "final stand" for the Alliance? Everyone from the Horde showed up, got their asses kicked, and retreated to fight another day. So much Sylvanas/Horde hate and people aren't even curious why over half the Alliance's racial leaders didn't play significant roles. Hell, if they were there, did they just leave Varian to die? That's far worse than your sworn enemy retreating in terms of who's to blame for Varian's abandonment and ultimate death.
    "hey everyone lets put all the faction leaders in the enemy base of operations, what a great idea"
