Sylvanas’ whole life is a loss. A living hell. She can’t even look to death as a release. So even when she’s winning her world still sucks.

being killed doesnt remove your mary sue status, being killed and coming back constantly makes you a mary sue.
losing undercity is probably within her plans, she wants to separate the alliance and the horde by entire continents because maybe she thinks that will somehow stop the faction war in the long run.
all her "losses" always net her some sort of win as well. she never straight up loses anything.

Just to say, if Malfurion has to be killed. It will require both factions. If he goes down the path of needing to be killed. He is going to require alot more than a hero or two to be brought down.

Now my living room center piece and open case HTPC.
Forsaken Death Knights. And all other DKs have been brought back at least once. Revival isn’t that uncommon in the WoW universe.
And I’d argue that super powerful “immortal” characters like Velen are far more on the Mary Sue scale than a miserable elf that’s been killed and revived a few times. The term is way overused at this point though.

Why is WoW in clown colours on that video?!
Sylvanas isn't even slightly a Mary Sue. I'm not keen on her but anyone saying she is just has no idea what that term means. Me'dan was a Mary Sue, Rhonin was a Mary Sue (or Gary Stu but why complicate thing with another term?), Thrall has sort of edged up to it but was pulled back before it got completely out of hand.
Sylvanas, though, is just a powerful anti-heroic character, quite typical for WoW. She's having her "day in the sun", and soon she'll be as dead as any other leader of the Horde.
How is Malfurion lorewise that much stronger than Sylvanas?
He's an Archdruid, but he's also been sleeping for fucking ten thousand years. He got fucked by the Shade of Xavius, not even the real thing, a goddamn dungeon boss. Sure he can beat a Warrior, but a Banshee/Dark Ranger/the ex leader of Silvermoon's rangers?
Also, as for the "Mary Sue" thing, did you miss the part where Malfurion can just control a fucking tornado in Darkshore for an indefinite amount of time?
Anyway, Malfurion's powers depend on nature, and Sylvanas has a blight that can kill living things in moments. Not much of a matchup

That doesn't confirm anything, we get visions of the future in WoW all the time and 80% of them are wrong. We've got Murozond, who was created when Nozdormu watched us lose to Deathwing in an AU; we obviously have the deaths of Chromie; we went to a future where all the faction leaders had gone mad. None of those things actually happened. Hell, Xe'ra prophesied that Illidan would become some magical Light user and save the world with his Mary Sue powers and that sure didn't come through either
But that's just resurrected into undeath, if you count that Sylvanas has died 3 times (Arthas, Swan dive from the top of Ice Crown, shot by Godfrey), at what point do we just accept she's a bit of a Mary Sue? Sure Velen is immortal but when he dies he stays dead like that time au Velen died.
Sylvanas is one of my favourite characters but the direction they are taking her makes me sad. The cinematic from the start of legion made me feel she was one of the more tolerant faction leaders when she helped Varian and then in the broken shore scenario where she agreed to work with the alliance, but it's like that's all gone now.
Malfurion is so powerful that the mighty Shade of Xavius didn't have any trouble capturing him, hopefully a small group of us was able to free him
Malfurion was also so powerful he solved the Legion's invasion by himself. Oh wait, is he still taking care of squirrels in Val'sharah ?
