Go back as far as TFT and you'll realize she -used- the dreadlords to secure control over the undead, then, she made herself leader.
Adding insult to injury, she basically agreed to a deal with one of -the- worst titans Helya in exchange for her own immortality. It has -nothing- to do with her peoples future, it has-everything- to do with her own.
She commited suicide atop Icecrown after Arthas death, then was ressurected by the Val'kyr, she experienced true horrors in oblivion that terrified her, she resolved -never- to go back to that darkness.
She is not interested in the future of the undead, they are a means to an end, a meatshield to her as much as Garrosh. The only difference is, at least Garrosh respected the Orcs that followed him, Sylvanas has -no- qualms throwing her own men to die in the persuit of personal victory.
I had -hoped- she would be redeemed after Vol'jins death and rather moving speech, but she chose the path of faustian damnation. She made a deal with Helya, who granted, was a tragic villian in her own right, but is still a -villian- and so too is Sylvanas as it doesnt take a genious to realize what kind of deal she -made- with the titan of the underworld.
Be smart, and realize that your sanctified angel of darkness is nothing more than a devil in black feathers.
Shes -not- the good guy you think she is, shes as much a monster using a convinent war as an excuse to justify many murders and personal expansions. If you think shes so just then explain the following:
- Why did she attack the Kirin'tor in Silverpine and Hillsbrad unprovoked?
- Why did she doom the plaguelands after the Argent Dawn and Alliance tried to restore it?
- Why did she attempt to plague multiple parts of Azeroth despite being ordered not to?
- Why, did she intend to ressurect undead during the Siege of Orgrimmar?
At -what- point was Sylvanas -ever- good?
