Well, I've never seen Frozen, but I did like Jaina's story in BfA. Sadly, Jaina came before Frozen, but Blizzard were never doing anything important with her except driving her crazy. It took Frozen to make them write her halfway decently, and now she comes off as a Disney princess ripoff. Only Blizzard, I tell ya. If that's what they have to do to tell good stories, I guess? Someone tell whoever is writing Sylvanas to start ripping off Maleficent because whatever source material they're taking inspiration from right now isn't working.
Jaina should’ve died to the horde in BoD raid.
How she has fans is beyond me, she is just a walking deux ex machina and a prime example of bad story telling
And how would you write it then? Lead a rebellion against her mother and replace her as the new ruler?
She returned to heal the rift created between her and her people. She accepted her punishment as a way to atone for her actions she felt responsible for which resulted in the death of many, including her father.
I'm amazed that this meme is still floating around. Please get some new content already.
So you're asking us if we want all characters to be written the way you think they were written (a thought that was probably derived from the bad photoshop art you decided to post)?
Its like some of you sit at your desks and actually ponder "what is the most useless shit I can post on MMO today... hmmm."
Well, OP. Soon every fictional character will be Disney's, so it's good you get your bullshit ready for that.
I thought jaina was written rather well.
Its the other expansions, where she was boring and flat, and only a bit interesting in the end cinematic of MoP.
But how about sylvanas? with her plot armor powers, she could kill the alliance and horde in og after her duel with saurfang, but she did not?
She did not kill Bolvar apparantly, too.
disney plot holes......or 4D chess?
What?
Her BfA story is like:
1. Everyone in Kul Tiras hates her.
2. Her mom sentences her to death.
3. Her mom feels bad about it.
4. ????????????
5. She's made Lord Admiral and everyone loves her.
It's barely a coherent story. How can you say it's Disney level story?
Can someone ellaborate on how exactly the writing is Disney-esque? I've noticed a bunch of references, but nothing very plot-relevant.
BfA's story (especially before the pre-patch and after Dazar'alor) has a lot of problems, but they seem to come more from a half assed attempt at repeating MoP and a rushed old god plot than from "writing like Disney."
You know they make similar ones with every franchise/movie/game under the sun, right? I'm pretty sure they post one at least once a week on average.
People mostly call it "good writing" if they enjoyed it, and bad when they didn't.
I enjoyed Jaina's storyline. Whether it qualifies as good or bad writing according to forum "experts", I couldn't care less about.
I'm pretty sure Disney doesn't have some sort of monopoly of any kind on X sort of writing. I tend to call PG13 and below ratings "Disney-ass" though, I have to admit. Not as a jab at the Disney movies I adore.
