Sylvanas has reached her peak

[Life-Binder]

Yeah. Come to find out, she was chosen by the Arbiter to save the Shadowlands. The Arbiter is in fact the Jailer’s boss, for some reason the Arbiter can’t do something about whatever’s happening in the Shadowlands and needed mortals.

assuming this is true and assuming "Saving" SL means killing millions in Azeroth first - Sylvanas is actually a good choice lol, since she is the only faction leader that would actually do it and not blink

She blocks the Lich King's attacks with her bare hand, she tears open portals between worlds, she casts magical death-purple-poison chains that anchor the Lich King and she destroys the Helm of Domination her with strong female grasp.

Strong writing straight outta deviantart.

At no point did she block the Lich King's attack with her bare hand. And it's kinda obvious that it's the destruction of the Helm of Domination that destroyed the veil, not Sylvanas pesonally.

So in the panel Ion said the souls going to the Maw thing happened in recent years, which means it wasn't Sylvanas' doing.

Which begs the question when did it begin? Is it something Arthas has done (we know he breached into the Shadowlands and was doing something there, Alliance players spied on him there)? The shocks of Cataclysm reaching all the way to the Shadowlands? Garrosh's idiotic trial was so idiotic it lobotomized the Arbiter and made her forget her duties? Some Legion fuckery (perhaps the reason Archimonde had a branch from the Emerald Dream is because he was corrupting the Emerald Dreams' mirror death dimension through it)?

She's the one who destroyed it, in the most silly approach and breach of ICC ever seen in the game, with the silliest fight against the Lich King to date.

And yeah, not bare hands, but with her super strong death chain that she spawns out of thin air by waving her hand. If Tyrion had a couple of those, they would've come in real handy.

You're questioning a character that has been getting power ups since she started her undead journey but you don't bat an eye for a guy that doesn't have Frostmourne nor the souls of the dead empowering him, only the Helm of Domination controlling gravity and summoning huge chunks of rock/ice out of thin air?
How come people question Sylvanas' power but not Bolvar's? Is it because he has a helm? Is it because he was brooding and cool during Legion and think that him holding an undead army back is being powerful?
I mean, if people are gonna bitch about powers, they should bitch about all the powers both have, or none at all.

Instead of trying to understand that the problem in that cinematic are the powers that Sylvanas has, you're talking about the powers that Bolvar doesn't have. There's no arc, no buildup; she simply gets new overwhelming powers from a new, overhwhelmingly powerful being, out of nowhere even after we had clear insight into her intentions and plans through out of character means (ie Before the Storm, War of Thorns).

To put it into perspective, this is akin to Bolvar spitting dragonfire out of his mouth and trapping her in a magical lamp he spawned thanks to an unknown deity that produces magical lamps. This scenario would have equal lore value.

If she defeated him in ways known to be available to her, then that's fine, but to have us witness this Warcraft Rambo trailer is attrocious.

I agree that she has reached her peak, her highest point of power. Nothing comes close to what she's done or even her powers so far with the exception of Sargeras. But I don't think she has total control of death itself because in 8.25. She said something about everything eventually serving something so this makes me think she still considers herself below someone.
