I think that Jaina is just using some kind of magic, there's no way she could be so wrinkless.

Khadgar has/had some weird aging spell on him thanks to his old master. So while he looked like Gandalf during BC, he was still pretty young. Not sure if he got it under control of he's Benjamin Button now. The others though? Who knows.

it seemed and felt kind of predictable I guess

Will be really awesome if we get to siege Orgrimmar and take the Horde back from it's Warchief.

Seriously, how this can even be considered is beyond me. Fire everyone involved in the story-telling writting departement. Give a raise to the guys at the cinematic area because they are carrying your arses, Blizzard.

Wasnt Thrall bald?

Did the whole field of grain part with Saurfang remind anyone else of Gladiator?

I'm feeling like Rise of Azshara is closer than I anticipated.

Not hiding, just living his life with his family.

How Saurfang got there?

Dark Portal.

Why Sylvanas want to kill Thrall?

To keep him from rallying the Horde against her.

But you have to admit, that cinematic was A+ top tier. Blizzard should just move on to the movie business if the current state of their games is all they can muster.

Imagine quitting a game and then keeping up to date with news so you can complain about it. Move on dude, delete her social media. It's only going to make you sad.

Ok this does not make sense, She sent assassins after Thrall? What for? The old man is retired now and no longer interested.

Aw she thinks she's being clever and insulting when she actually has "cuck" and "soy" as part of her vocabulary . How adorable.

Probably because she knew Saurfang would go to him or got wind that Rexxar wanted to send a message to Thrall after Baine got imprisoned. Of course Thrall is still a threat since he was such an iconic warchief in WC lore.

So the Horde is going to be cucked again, fun times...

Called this shit in beta.

Yes, both are very useful as far as words go. Soyboy cucks are the worst.

Often apt descriptors for the very people who use them .

Nice cinematic. Nice to Thrall has been at the gym and decided to replace Mjolnir with Stormbreaker.

I'd like to see some Lor'themar action as well. Based on what I've seen for 8.2 he's a big part of the current story and Baine in comparison has a massive amount in game.

As I and others have pointed out, there’s no evidence they were actually there to kill Thrall. Yes, they very well could have been sent by Syl with plans to stop a potential rebellion with him or even to make it look like Alli did it to rally the Horde behind her.
The flip side is that she sent them to just watch Thrall in case Saurfang showed up. Seeing as how they attacked they were there to kill Saurfang when he appeared. You know, common tactic to watch people your enemies might go to when seeking refuge or allies to help them.
I also pointed out the Rogue attacking Saurfang clearly has poison coming off their daggers, whereas Thrall’s attacker appears to be normal blades. Possibly more for keeping Thrall busy or to cause a no lethal injury while the other is trying to kill a traitor.
Either way, I hope Blizz clarifies at some point as most people seem to think she wanted to kill Thrall, which I am completely open to admit as a possibility/

It makes sense, explains why Israel is full of Nazis.

Watching the undead slip into and out of invisibility right in front of people was a bit stupid.

In WoW lore rogues use a bit of shadow magic to cloak themselves, hence Cloak of Shadows and Shadow Step. Otherwise thinking they are just hard to notice even 2 feet away is just ridiculous.

the stealthing is too sci-fi looking and not the creepy fantasy stealth that rogues and wow lore are known to use. too marvely. gross.

oh joy. more horde cinematics
