[Spoilers]: Rastakhan Cinematic

[Aeula]

Anyone else notice how thin Rastakhan is? And how his hand is nothing but bone?

Looks like Bwomsandi’s power has a much more physical cost than first suspected.

I think it has to do with him finally aging to his TRUE age. He's like 250 years old, and he only became THAT old because of the loa.

[Kwento]

Absolutely love this one.
You can just feel Talanji’s pain at her father’s death and rage as she commands to pursue the Alliance.
Also Jaina is shown in a darker light, staring at Nathanos after her durty deed is done.
Perfect!

[Grazrug]

Talanji has all the emotions and Nathanos is even more angry than usual when he looks at jaina. Amazing.

[Kralljin]

Gonk mentions that Rastakhan will now age super fast after Rezan has been killed, as he was the only Loa powerful enough to keep Bwonsamdi at bay.

Guess that happens once Bwonsamdi's bargain jumps over to his daughter.

[Grazrug]

Pretty much. I don't think Bwonsamdi purposefully kills or weakens Rastakhan, it's simply his age catching up with him at the moment of his death.

RIP Rastakhan, you deserved better than this.

Vengeance for Rastakhan!

Considering their interaction during the raid, I'd say Bwonsamdi did let him die at the end

Really? What makes you say that?

[Varodoc]

Jaina looks badass on that pyramid. I am sure that Daelin would be proud. It looks like poor Rastakhan messed with the wrong people. Better luck next time. Bye Rastakhan!

That makes me wonder now, had Rezan not been killed in Atal'dazor, would the Alliance have been able to take on a fully-empowered Rastakhan backed up by Rezan? I'm sure game-wise yes, but lore-wise would they be able to?

Yeah he sure could've used some of that plot armour Jaina has had for some decades. He got what he deserved for... uhm... what exactly was it he did to the Alliance again?

Right, nothing. Thanks for reminding me.

Ooooh... Well, fuck...

Highly doubtful tbh.

Alliance bias and hypocrisy from biased writers got in his way. RIP god king. We will avengce him.

It would have been harder, but it would have happened.

He didn’t really age though, he just decayed. The rest of his features remained the same and his body is still in tact during his funeral.

[aceperson]

It would have been harder, but it would have happened.

that makes me wonder if there if a hidden mythic only phase where rastakhan realizes he can't win with bwonsamdi and tries with all his might to call upon rezans power again. would be neat.

[Dalheim]

He decayed because he shouldn't have been that old.

And about his funeral, probably Blizzard not feeling a need to make a proper model for him, even thoug they could've just used King Dazars' model with Rastakhans armor.

[Dagoth Ur]

Ah, we knew it'll happen but still sucks. Rastakhan was one amongst few who had a good run from start to finish.

Bwonsamdi awesome as always.

Also, have to say I'm really liking Nathanos too. Seeing him nearly trembling with anger when he spots Jaina was cool little detail.
