So does she have all of her soul? If so, is she going to do some big sacrifice thing so that her soul passes through the jailer guy/maw and she does some plot stuff and weakens him?

The only positive thing about this is that Alleria is finally, at long last, undoubtedly the most powerful Windrunner in the franchise. Since Sylvanas is back to being some basic average ranger.
The next time Alleria and Sylvanas meet, Alleria will put her in her place.
Oh but what am I saying, Blizzard forgot Alleria exists!!
The Void. A force of infinite hunger. Its whispers have broken the will of dragons... and lured even the titans' own children into madness. Sages and scholars fear the Void. But we understand a truth they do not. That the Void is a power to be harnessed... to be bent by a will strong enough to command it. The Void has shaped us... changed us. But you will become its master. Wield the shadows as a weapon to save our world... and defend the Alliance!

Why no, people don't just like Sylvie for T&A: https://www.mmo-champion.com/threads...ery-Cinematic/
Because it's fantasy, and a videogame. You want your major characters to stand out, not blend in. Stormtroopers could be uniformed after Darth Vader, it could make sense in the story, but it would make him seem unimportant, so they chose to make a unique and memorable design for him.
If they want us to care for a character without personality or known motivation, at the very, very least, he has to be interesting to look at. He wasn't before, and certainly isn't now.
But she was never in a position to match Alleria. Apart from Saurfang and the Bolvar she didn't manage to beat any significant powerhouse and Alleria in terms of power is leagues above Bolvar.
In any case I am curious to see what's gonna happen to her now that she is in custody and with her full soul back. I wonder if the Ranger General Soul knew what her bad part did.
I agree that Alleria was always stronger than her, but before this cinematic it could be argued Sylvanas would win depending on how much power the Jailer gave her (if he gave 20% of his power it would be different than if he gave her 99%), but now? Alleria is without a doubt far more powerful than Sylvanas.

The absolute state of Warcraft lore in 2021:
Kyrians: We need to keep chucking people into the Maw because it's our job.
Also Kyrians: Why is the Maw growing stronger despite all our efforts?
The crooked shitposter with no eyes is watching from the endless thread.
From the space that is everywhere and nowhere, the crooked shitposter feasts on memes.
He has no eyes to see, but he dreams of infinite memeing and trolling.
Tbh the core idea is not terrible, but the execution 100% is... as has often been the case with Blizz over the past 13 or so years since wotlk ended.
If they had the heroes retrieve it previously and used the fusion to end the bossfight her turn would be much more organic tbh. As is the people who don't read the extended media see it as a contrived asspull, which it kind of still is, but yeah. They're just trying to dig themselves out of a hole they made by a crapton of retcons and bad writing.
