How about a Zandalari helping Jaina? A Kul Tiran helping Thrall? It's a mess. Sylvanas is the scapegoat they use to move this "plot" along. It's always her fault. She did this, done that, killed those, plotted that... I love how this "writing" still gets greenlighted at Blizz. They prolly don't even care anymore. Maybe next time we'll see Thrall with a dagger-inflicted wound? To keep the MoP experience legit, of course.
What's that? An interesting, not expected and very possible storyline? Nah, can't have those around here. Saurfang would never lie, he's too HONORED to do that. Evil Sylvanas is at fault always.
Yeah originally it seemed like Rogues were meant to be a no-magic class. That's no longer the case though. So I guess Vanish is a spell or magical device related ability.

I dunno, originally in Vanilla you had to craft the vanish bombs from physical reagents.
The beginning of wisdom is the statement 'I do not know.' The person who cannot make that statement is one who will never learn anything. And I have prided myself on my ability to learn

Why don't they make a wow movie with these graphics? This trailer alone is better than the wow movie.
Yeah, and you said that after I said named. Which makes it your attempt at shifting the goalposts. And what? Finklestein is present in what, two quests and a daily repeat of one of them? Rupert has three quests and appears in some dailies. And then appears in short event in ICC, which was so meaningless that to this day we don't know which NPCs in it died in canon and which (if any) survived. Darkmar was in one short quest. Grell appeared in one short story that Blizzard most likely forgot by now.
But there's no way in hell she could have succeeded given how half-assed of an attempt this was.
Is Voss the god-emperor of Forsaken now for her opinions to be authoritative statements about the Forsaken? What's that? She isn't? Instead she only joined the Forsaken in BfA, which means she had little time to ingrate herself into their culture? OK then, you can wave your non-argument bye bye. Never mind that her meaningless musings expressed only wonder if Sylvanas still takes pride in free will of the Forsaken, not any actual claims of it being violated. Meaning you have less than nothing here. A new record!
Short cinematics are different from writing full length. Short movie directors don't necessarily do well for full length. They can focus more on details while full length rather have a broader picture. One of these scenes probably take longer to make than one movie scene.
I think they even said so themselves that they don't want to make a complete movie like that because of above reasons.
I want them to make one, but let's take suicide squad as an example. The trailer was amazingly done. They even thought so and thus hired them to do the rest of the movie... Which didn't work, because they knew how to make trailers.. Not full length movies.
Some thoughts that occurred to me while watching the cinematic a few times again^^
First, undead rogues smell and cause unease. I don't think they actually left footprints or something like that, but in a place like Nagrand, where there's no demon stench or anything undead around someone might notice them nonetheless and then follow the hints their passing left behind. If they were heading in the general direction of Thrall, you don't need to know exactly where they are at any given moment to at least suspect what is happening.
Then... when Saurfang walks into the yard. past the fence and Thrall goes to greet him very reluctantly I had to think of the 'Son of Durotan' questline. The first time I saw it, someone else had triggered it. I saw Thrall walk into Garadar and didn't know what exactly was going on, because I had not gotten to that point in the storyline yet. I watched the whole scene play, Garrosh being depressed, Thrall telling him about his father and getting him out of it. The way Saurfang walked in reminded me so much of that. And then when Thrall says 'I'm noone's saviour' with shame and sadness in his voice, like he thinks he disappointed his father (who gave him the name Go'el-'saviour'), being kind of depressed and not wanting to fight... a bit like Garrosh back then, I thought, though maybe not as deeply depressed or just not showing it as much... but similar. It made me appreciate the cinematic even more for that parallel, even though the similarities are only subtle. Thrall back then arrived with much fanfare and a lot of Kor'kron warriors, Saurfang arrives alone and quite silently, but still the way he walked and well, the surroundings (duh^^) reminded me of the questline and I liked it.
Except we just had an interview about how common folk in the Horde are rejecting Thrall for Sylvanas because she offers something new. Which is precisely why even at the very end of 8.2 Sylvanas has the loyalty of the people while Thrall has Saurfang, Baine and Lor'themar. So where are you seeing this "Thrall is still seen as an important figure" exactly? Which means you did get the right in bold right, but for completely different reasons.
He already says Thrall and Saurfang bailing Baine out of prison is part of the plan and that obviously happens later, so yeah.
"We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see." ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
Where do you get the "Undead rogues are smelly and cause unease" from? Not saying it isn't so... Just curious. Because that in of itself would make them awful rogues to begin with if their aura can be detected. So why would anyone, let alone an undead, employ them for recon or stealth missions?
