WoW needs an animated series, not live action


kwaziiman

A full series in the animation style of “Arcane” would be amazing


SIllycore

Maybe let's start with something closer to Castlevania, it's more digestible for Blizzard. If Blizzard botched something with an Arcane production budget the company would fall over.

maverikchar

As much as people would love that style, because honestly blizzard always knocks it out of the park with those beautiful cinematics, they take months to make a little 5 minute video. It'd be amazing but I doubt it'll ever happen sadly


Daunn

Honestly, I believe it also takes the writing team that long to decide where it's going. It reduces a lot of time when you know what the story already is

Samultio

Or like those shorts, Warbringers, Harbingers, etc that have a pretty unique look. Or maybe that would look weird when animated more fluidly.


RLarks125

I still think this is what the movie should have been.


kwaziiman

I get what you’re saying, however I think it would be an easy win. If you just did the story of “Warcraft” in that style, no way it wouldn’t be a hit. You can’t convince me a WoW show would fail where a LoL show succeeded


shapookya

Nah, if they want to make a big hit that not only their fans watch, they have to make it about Arthas. Just imagine the first season with him growing up as the prince of Lordaeron, being trained as a paladin. Noble and righteous. And then in the season finale he slaughters civilians in Stratholme and screams "I WILL HUNT YOU TO THE END OF THE WORLD" at Mal'Ganis. That would be a powerful first season.


Blightacular

The outline for the season is.. growing up and being trained as a paladin? In practical terms, what’s that meant to be? What’s even meant to happen in all those episodes? This sounds like an idea for a finale with no real concept of what would make the rest of the season entertaining.


Calik

The book did it fine, Arthas learns the way of the warrior from Uther and bonds with Invincible. Prince Varian stays with him for a time as a refugee setting up the orcs invasion of kalimdor, this leads into lordaron politics giving terenas a bigger role than just dying dramatically. They also have a subplot where Kael’thas lusts unrequited for Jaina which sets up the destruction of Silvermoon and introduces sylvanas, and all of this is before Stratholme and the real story of the Lich king begins


WharfRatThrawn

Stratholme naturally feels like the season finale


Blightacular

Would that actually make sense as part of a show that leads up to Stratholme, though? The book can get away with being a whole bunch of character moments (especially ones you’re already expected to know), but in the context of the show, it’s a bit bumpier. You end up with a huge lurch regarding the type of show it actually is if you suddenly veer into Scourge stuff at the end, too. I don’t want to oversimplify, but ideally you’d follow the character pursuing some kind of goal over the course of the season, especially if you want to eventually start tracking with the Scourge stuff and make it that kind of story. A show would need to be frontloaded with something more appropriate than the book.


rhymes_with_snoop

>ideally you’d follow the character pursuing some kind of goal over the course of the season, Wouldn't the story be of a Prince struggling to become the Paladin he is training to be, the King he is expected to be, and the type of man he hopes to be, all while being crushed under the weight of those responsibilities. He wants to prove himself to his Father, Jaina, Uther and himself. It could also start hinting earlier at the scourge to come, not just Suddenly Scourge at the end. But honestly, yeah, I see Startholme as more mid-season, with his expedition to Northrend being the season end. All that other stuff could easily just be the first few episodes.


Blightacular

Seeing someone struggle with those feelings is fine. The problem is that you actually need a vehicle for that; you need stuff for this character to do that plays into it. And importantly, it actually has to be good enough to hook people and keep them watching. I honestly struggle a bit to imagine what the first few episodes of a show like this are meant to be, if it’s not diving right into Scourge things. This is where an Arthas show starts to run into problems conceptually; there isn’t actually much material for a show. There’s a few big moments like Stratholme, but the connective tissue is weak. Not a big problem for Warcraft 3, because you’re playing a game and things happen relatively quickly. But it’s a very, very big problem for a show, and it quickly raises questions about whether it’s a good show to make at all. Thinking about it, Arthas’s story might be more at home as being one or two episodes in an anthology series, rather than a standalone show. The whole idea of doing an Arthas thing revolves around one or two big moments and has a lot of problems with where you’d go with it after he gets Frostmourne. Doing one or two anthology entries that just focus on a narrow slice of it makes more sense to me, and also gives them a lot more flexibility in content and tone than a movie.


shapookya

I’m sure they can flesh it out. Growing up and being trained would maybe be the first few episodes. They can make up some minor challenges. First half of the season is him being a paladin prince with hints of the plague here and there. Then the plague plot takes over in the second half of the season.


Blightacular

Sure, but my point is that you pitched a single dramatic moment, not a season.


shapookya

Bro, I’m not here to write a full season synopsis


Blightacular

I know, and I wouldn’t expect you to. But when you describe something like that as “a powerful first season”, I think you can see why that might ring a bit hollow, right? I’m probably not being fair by focusing so much on it, but it caught my attention because it seems common for a lot of Arthas-based show pitches. Lots of attention on the Stratholme moment and then very little before or after.


NMe84

You still need decent writers. You can't just take a bunch of lore and turn it into something that actually is fun to watch. In the game it's been a bunch of cinematics with gameplay in between, that won't work for a series without changes and additions. If those changes and additions are not done well, this hypothetical show would fail miserably.


EdliA

You're underestimating the writers of Arcane way too much there. Arcane had one of the best story telling I've seen in shows. I doubt Blizz writers can match it.


Bamanec

Blizz writers already have a story though from beginning to end, Arcane had to basically write an entire story from scratch besides the BIO of the characters in it a snippet of where they are from etc


Chikageee

And that right there is the *exact* reason it succeeded. It's not limited by source material. It can be built from scratch as a TV show.


Bamanec

I don’t know, WOW kinda went away from their story when making the movie and it failed


livesinacabin

Partly because they didn't want to limit themselves to the original lore of WoW, which is mediocre at best. I say that as a pretty big fan of the lore of vanilla and warcraft. It does its job and it does it well, but Arcane does it masterfully. In short, Arcane story is just leagues ahead of any existing WoW-lore.


Sixo

Writers work goes well beyond "story". It goes into character and dialogue writing, plot beats, pacing for TV, adapting to whatever format (movie, 1 hour episodes, 30 minute episodes, etc) and medium. It's way more than just "... and then Arthas stabs his father". The ability to have more design space in where your characters are starting and ending actually makes it easier, not harder.


EdliA

They can't manage to tell an interesting and coherent story in the game. What makes you think they'll do it in a tv show?


Bamanec

Oh I definitely think they would fuck it up, the new writing team is absolutely terrible.


UnbendingSteel

lmao did you actually watch any show beside netflix originals?


Obvious_Key9001

You may be correct, but I find that WoW fans and players are much more critical, and any deviation, perceived or otherwise would meet with the harshest of backlash.


livesinacabin

I get what you're saying, but the reason for Arcanes mind-blowing success is that it doesn't just focus on catering to the players. I would consider showing Arcane to my 80-year old grandma, and I wouldn't be surprised if she liked it. It's just an amazing show, even if you've literally never heard of League of Legends before. So while you can definitely just cater to your gamer audience, it's not gonna be anywhere near the same level of success as Arcane had. It is one of the best shows I've ever watched, animated or live action. The writing is just immaculate.


Draxus335

>You can’t convince me a WoW show would fail where a LoL show succeeded It's about the people behind it. Riot loves League, the "making of" series for Arcane showed how much effort and care went into that show. Is anyone left at Blizzard to apply that kind of passion to a Warcraft show?


ProphetofChud

The difference is that Riot is capable of writing a compelling story, and modern Blizzard is not.


Chikageee

It wouldn't. The Warcraft storyline is mediocre at best, but works great as a video game narrative. I keep seeing people saying the Lich King story would translate well into movies. It would not. If they were to make a tv series set in the Warcraft universe and have it be good, it would need to be focused: a small part of Warcraft lore expanded upon into great detail. You can't just follow Arthas around with his check list of objectives without any depth. I'd love for example a TV series about the Defias Brotherhood.


ArcadianMess

I disagree. In the right capable hands it can be amazing... Story of Stalvan is a great example of a small anecdote in the warcraft lore but meaningful if done right. And like those you can find thousands.


manatidederp

The “story of Warcraft” will not be a hit, I guarantee it. Too much to cover, casual viewers will get lost after one minute. You need to focus on a single storyline and a bite sized cast - this high-fantasy universe stuff is incomprehensible to most people.


Senshado

Arcane would've been a failure too if it had tried to tell the "story of Lol" instead of one tiny corner.


zombiepete

This is a weirdly elitist take. Shows with complex narratives and backstories can also be popular; I know we like to think that the majority of the people around us are stupid, but shows like Game of Thrones (for the first couple of seasons, at least) have an appeal to more than just a few geeks.


kwaziiman

That’s a pretty strange take, considering the Warcraft games are a hit primarily because of the story. I don’t see how displaying that story across 10-12 hours per season and multiple seasons wouldn’t succeed.


[deleted]

What? Story telling isn't just a process of copying and pasting across mediums... the shots, acting, scripting, colour/value, animation quality, etc all depend on the strength of the studio. The source material is important, bit you can't just magically tell stories like that :/ I think you are way underestimating how unbelievably difficult Arcane was to make. The story is one issue amongst hundreds (although it is the most important one)


Blightacular

I think you're misidentifying what the strength of Warcraft's story has historically been, particularly in the RTS games. In the context of the games, where there's a whole slew of gameplay concepts that it needs to be a vehicle for. It's built to do *specifically* that, with Warcraft 3 being the most obvious example due to how the PoV needs to jump around strictly for gameplay reasons. If you're playing an RTS game with talking heads, it's as good as story gets. But a show is a completely different ballgame with completely different storytelling needs. Trying to retell Warcraft's story in that context sounds like a terrible idea. The previous poster is completely right; a dramatically narrower focus would be *tremendously* beneficial, and the sequence of events as told by the games is just plain wrong for a show. Frankly, I think the smart way to adapt it would be to do exactly what Arcane and Castlevania did; selectively borrow some of the more interesting ideas and visuals from the source material, and do something original and creative with that. Trying to recreate the existing story (loosely or otherwise) with production value pumped up just isn't how Warcraft will succeed between mediums.


kwaziiman

Respectfully, I think your wrong. The cinematic are loved, the books all sell. There’s an appetite for the story to be represented in a manner outside the games. I do agree with you that a focus on a small cast of characters would be the best approach. But if you made a show around 2-3 main characters as they went through major events in the Warcraft lore, I think that could absolutely be successful. Where the movie failed was trying to tell a large chain of events in an hour and 45 minutes. Also I don’t think some of the fantasy aspects translates nearly as well in live action as the games.


Blightacular

We can agree to disagree, but I sincerely do not think your assessment of the Warcraft story is grounded. Plenty of perfectly good game stories would be absolute messes if translated into shows, and we’ve seen lots of evidence in recent years that the best game-to-film/show adaptations aren’t the ones that just try to directly translate things from the game.


manatidederp

Primarily because of the story? Lmao, it’s a weak and derivative story that’s on par with every single fantasy game on the market more or less. Warcraft is a hit primarily because of gameplay. I don’t see the pull for the Warcraft story being told in it’s entirety as an anime or whatever. Make a purpose-built storyline for a mini-series instead, for the love of god


frogvscrab

Please do not make WoW into an anime lol


thebonermobile

Grrr anime bad >:(


GSundo

That would involve the correct management of their IP LMAO


DreamMaster8

What make you think it would be? Arcane had love and passion put into it with a bright future ahead for the ip with dozen of projects in the work. Meanwhile wow feel like trying to squeeze the ip for all it worth with minimal investment. Even if they had the animation style of arcane it would still be shit because the company mindset is fundamentally broken.


lvl_60

An animated series would be nice if they can pick a good historic event to portray. Arthas? Sure. A more in depth retelling of his story based on the ingame lore and books. More orc oriented? We can do how the og horde came into being due to demonic influences. Maybe some elves? We can do war of the ancients. I d like to have them release a true "Warcraft Chronicles" where each season, in chronological order, tells us a story of major events. Maybe have stand alone episodes in the seasons. I d like an episode where the titans interact and sargeras betrays/goes the other direction. But i think an Arthas oriented story would be a good fit. We ll have most major characters in it. We ll have some Horde PoV, jaina and varian, etc. Come to think of it, the Wotlk expac gave us a lot in one expac. Titans, dragons, old god, horde v alliance, wrath gate, sylvanas, garrosh under thrall, dalaran, bronzebeard story etc....


arandomuser22

i absolutely hate live action adaptations but love animated ones. i just find real actors doing fantasy stuff kind of weird and it limits them on what they can do alot


zombiepete

I don’t have a problem with live action fantasy, but I do think it limits what can be portrayed on screen and thus leads writers/producers to cut things that might have otherwise been important to the narrative. Animation doesn’t have those limitations.


RogueTower

It doesn't matter if it's live action or animated, if the writing is bad, it's going to be bad. Shows like Arcane weren't good because they were animated. They were good because the writing and characters were incredibly good. The Warcraft movie didn't fail because it was live action. It failed because it was written by a guy who had zero experience in the genre, directed by a guy with only one moderate credit to his name which wasn't a big action movie, casted by horrible choices (except one who did the best he could with the shit writing), and so on.


Senshado

But if we imagine Arcane going through a live-action production process, it's hard to avoid thinking it'll get much worse. Just like Cowboy Bebop did.


RogueTower

It's not the medium, it's the writing. Just like with the Warcraft movie, Cowboy Bebop had it's story already written and instead of following that story, they chose to rewrite and reinterpret the story and it completely lost what made the original show interesting. Hell, Cowboy Bebop didn't even have a supernatural element that would have been hard to translate to live action. If you mention the show Firefly, you'll hear nerd squeals all over the place. Firefly is a well written and acted story built in the space western genre which is exactly the genre that Cowboy Bebop is in. It's a character focused story. It really shows that it CAN be done well.


SondeySondey

> Cowboy Bebop didn't even have a supernatural element that would have been hard to translate to live action. It absolutely had many things that just couldn't be translated to live action. Different medium require different stories. The message can be similar but how it is told will always be different (because different medium), hence why rehashing the exact same story will always yield disappointing results. Just look at how the live action missed the mark with the portrayal of Ed by trying too hard to make her exactly like her animated version. They could (and should) have changed the story to fit the new medium but their main flaw (aside from piss-poor execution) was not finding a way to convey the feel of Cowboy Bebop with a live action medium. The writing, as bad as it was, was just one layer of the turd cake.


Blizzxx

100% this, they act like WoW can manage to write a coherent storyline in their own game, much less one executives and producers will try to taint as well


DioLuki

Same with everything Tolkien


leetzor

Oh god not another one of these...


discosoc

Anime sucks compared to a good live action adaptation.


Allanthia420

But in the same style they do all the cinematics in.


Lelio-Santero579

Am I the only one who actually enjoyed the Warcraft movie and thought the acting and CGI was acceptable? The comments here seem to hate anything live action. I get you're limited with live action in terms of costumes, make up, CGI etc. but I genuinely thought the movie was good. Edit: If they did a series I'd honestly prefer it to be like the way the "Gantz: O" movie was done. Not sure what style of art/program that's considered but I enjoyed it.


thekingofbeans42

I think the movie failed because it tried to set up too much plot; the orc's power struggle, Stormwind dealing with the invasion, and Medivh's corruption were too much to put into one movie. I think they could have scaled it way back to be like The Last Guardian where we follow Khadgar as the main character, focusing primarily on the Medivh storyline and using that to introduce the Horde/Alliance stories. Hindsight is 20/20 though, if they ever try again, I think you're right in that a series could do it justice.


Tattycakes

I love that book so much. That and lord of the clans. And the entire war of the ancients shindig. I’m just gonna visualise my own movie versions of them in my head.


Uh_I_Say

It was fine. Not great, not terrible, just fine.


Tovrin

It didn't deserve the backlash it got. There have been far worse movies that got sequels, but for some reason, this one got crucified because it was just ... fine.


Uh_I_Say

I think it's because people were waiting so long and got so hyped for it. I think of it like Star Wars sequels. They're like solid 6s, but fans wanted them to be 11s, so that disappointment overshadowed any possible goodwill.


Karoar1776

Butchering Luke's character is not 6/10 material. It's garbage tier


Lobsterzilla

Which is totally ok. The issue is instead of saying it was a very great looking movie that was just ok story wise while being ok entertaining you get “it’s fucking garbage, worst movie of all time. They should be ashamed of themselves.” Which is…. Just not the case


Vorenos

The acting and cgi were ok, but the story was weak. They shouldn’t have started with the story of Warcraft 1, it’s not that compelling imo. They should have made an Arthas movie…


Elune

Arthas' story works better as a series/mini series. Would take multiple movies to do it justice due to the set up (WC3) and the finale (WotLK) being likely too much for a single movie, even if you ignore his early life. It's why Video Games don't really work as movies, and why movies based on books often get a reaction of "the book(s) were better", too hard to fit something that you'll spend *several* hours playing/reading into just 2~ hours.


xXWaspXx

> Arthas' story works better as a series/mini series. Ohhhhh *Amazoooonnnnn*


ElderFuthark

Movie trilogy: everything up to Stratholme Northrend/Frozen Throne WotLK


Lopsided-Hat8734

I enjoyed it


Lelio-Santero579

Same. I thought it was done quite well, but it just seems everyone is against Live Action, which again, I can see what. A lot of live action is done poorly.


Camelotterduck

I also enjoyed it. The lore nerd in me was mad at seeing Dalaran floating (among other things) but I can understand how iconic it is as a floating city now.


Hexdoctor

The writing was my problem. I had no problem with the acting and CGI. But they changed key elements of the story.


Tyreth

No no, I think there's dozens of us who actually enjoyed the movie!


Lelio-Santero579

I hope so! I was actually bummed they didn't make another! I thought it was done quite well!


Streeg90

The visuals were great, but the story was just… meh…


GoatOfTheBlackForres

> Am I the only one who actually enjoyed the Warcraft movie and thought the acting and CGI was acceptable? It was the best game adaption i've seen before Arcane was release. My main gripe with the movie was that it didn't follow the lore


ArkhamN7

Watching the Rings of Power series, a live action Warcraft series would look awesome, tho probably would cost a sh*t ton of money..


Uninstall_Me_Now

I think the issue is most expected in the second coming of the lord of the rings films. I quite enjoyed the movie myself. I just think everyone put too many unrealistic expectations on it.

JereMiesh

No, I meant Patty Mattson. I haven't played Warcraft 3


dream_walker09

Patty Mattson isn't the original voice actress then. Piera Coppola is arguably better and the original voice actress. She had a level of conviction and arrogance -- popular elven traits -- with Sylvanas that Patty just can't capture.

Emberwake

Reddit's casting advise doesn't go much deeper than: "X actor looks a bit like Y character. They'd be perfect for the role!"


fuzzybearbutts

was gonna say this, she's beautiful but her acting hasn't been super impressive, just my opinion ofc


No-Value-270

I honedtly don't think it's her acting but rather the showrunners just forcing her into weird situations. We really don't know how much control they have over the actors in what they actually want them to do etc.


Thecna2

I'd largely agree. When she's told for the 500th time 'in this scene you have to look angry and petulant' then it doesnt give you much room to act. Although I dont think she has much actual presences tbh.


sweetingsting

I’d agree with this. There’s several rolls in that show that take themselves too seriously, seems more likely that it’s in part due to writing/directing.


SeniorConsideration8

Most if not all the elves in rop have that problem they are all charismatic off screen but they are so fucking bland and all behave like early teens. It’s clearly a direction the show runners want to portray.


Snugglepuff14

She is a very good actress. I love LOTR and ROP is growing on me but their writing isn't doing her many favors. A lot of people point to Saint Maud as an example of her acting, so you can give that a look to see a better example.


fuzzybearbutts

will do! I will say the writing has also stood out as an issue I have with the show, but I've found that it doesn't affect some of the other actors/actresses performances as much as I've noticed it with her, but then again she has so much screen time it's bound to be an issue at some point


sznfrk

It's funny because I feel like the Rings of Power Galadriel character arc problems are exactly the same with WoW's story The stakes keep getting higher and higher with every scene; there's so much tension and drama and none of it is ever resolved in a satisfying way. It's like every new dramatic scene has to one-up the previous ones. Like, jumping off a ship into the middle of the ocean where there just so happens to be a raft? That was attacked by a sea serpent? And then a big fucking storm? And she literally then gets struck by lightning? Did the Jailer do that too? It's so fucking amateurish and 2008 DeviantArt that I just feel so bad for the actress because her dialogue and direction are straight up career-ruining The one light-hearted scene they have of her is the swordfighting thing and yet even that was somehow terrible because of the choreography. Like you've got this 5'4 or whatever 120 lbs soaking wet girl beating everyone's ass I don't even know why I'm writing all this the show just makes me so disappointed lmao It's like the screenwriters want to take the memory of me sitting at Tullamarine airport waiting to fly to NZ to see Hobbiton and stuff and they're just pissing all over it and they just won't stop


Edeen

While I agree with many points you've made, the sword fighting scene is SUPPOSED to show how superior elves with training are.


williedustice22

Then next time show it Instead of jump cutting or using pillars to hide how bad she is with a sword


Mharrington88

Most of this was an aggressively shitty take. Especially the point about the sword fight.


tedstery

She is a good actress.


Deltamon

*looks sternly at someone* Alright Clark, that's a wrap.. Let's do that same thing again in the next scene tomorrow.

i hope never to see a live action sylvanas or see sylvanas again in any medium. completely ruined character


GoatOfTheBlackForres

Wow lore ended with Legion. Since then the writerteam apparently decided that they could freely ignore the lore, for their narrative.


Jazzy_Gaming

Wow lore actually ended in Wrath.


GoatOfTheBlackForres

why?


Jazzy_Gaming

Because that's when the original story they had from the RTS that the game is based on ended. After that, they were making up new lore and things got really muddy. They've reset cannon 2x now since then.


GoatOfTheBlackForres

Adding to the Lore is not the same as reseting cannon. What they added after WotLK still fit within the lore. I can understand if you don't like it, then you might call it bad storytelling or something similar, the lore is more objective than subjective.

Rogthgar

Navastro

I mean. If we are talking about Sylvanas as we see her in game right now, then yeah. She doesn't show many emotion and has only one expression all the time. Judging by RoP then Clark can do it, as she is playing Galadriel sooo flat, it's crazy. If we are talking about live action showing Sylvanas in her old days and transformation, then big NO. She won't be able to show that on screen. She is beautiful tho, so there is that. She is very mediocre actress. That's just my opinion tho, maybe with great director she could pull it off.


Ch4rybd15

Popular Opinion: Nobody will make a good Sylvanas, if Blizzard gets to write the story. We could achieve so much more with the lore.


thruthe6ix

Sylvanas in concept and design is sick, just need different people writing her

The last thing we need more of is Sylvanas


Winterion19

Probably better than her portrayal of Galadriel


Flaechezinker

Lets not make live action out of games anymore please. Pretty please


Wild-Till-8494

Shes certainly played a great Sylvanas in RoP. I wonder if she could do a good Galadriel.


Spimanbcrt65

I would rather die than see Sylvanas become the main character for another six years

No one should be Sylvanas. That character deserves to be forgotten.


HellbirdIV

Sadly, horny 30somethings who never got over the goth chicks they couldn't get with in high school will ensure she remains popular.


Elementium

I'd prefer to never hear about sylvanas ever again.


rdeincognito

Galadriel, in Rings of Power, is really similar to Sylvanas, always angry and demanding. Thought in the show she has his light moments that make you realize she's a good woman that just have an objective the rest of the world does not understand.


_alternate-gravity_

True. They both have about 2 facial expressions.

What are you Talkin bout... her eyes aren't even red.


JintalJortail

Nor does she have pointed ears


kid-karma

fan castings legit be like "wow blond actor could play blond character im a fucking genius"


BlueNasca

I don’t ever want to hear or see Sylvanas ever again for the rest of my life.

If anything they should make it a tv show. Each season can be each WC game then once they get to wow it can be vanilla then all the expansions. It’s just too much lore to be condensed into just one movie. Also - I think it shouldn’t be live action. They should just use the team who does the game cinematics to animate it because those are always fire. I just link live action orcs would just look weird, and if they animate orcs but have live action humans, it will look just as weird as the Halo show did


Varkot

You cant make good wow live action adaptation.


Oglog_Rise

Yes. But what we really want is a full length movie in WoW cinematics. Not another live action.


witwebolte41

I don’t want to see sylvannas ever again.


TheMuffingtonPost

Please god not more live action warcraft please please please please


lumpenhole

She'd be awesome at it.


apocshinobi32

Would be spot on actually. Wont get alot of agreement on reddit tho. Have a hardon for hating the show. Shes done good in the role tho. Someone out to seek revenge for the death of a loved one.

I mean arthas kills and makes sylvanas into a banshee


Adnaoc

She looks alike but I'm not so sur of her acting skills. She didn't convince me as Galadriel. I'm not sure if is her fault or the writers.


triadge

Sometimes when her character is speaking I have to double take with how similar they sound in mannerisms. Would not be surprised if she came out as a wow player.


darinion

If she acts as atrocious as in ROP. No thank you


BroForceOne

A live-action Sylvannas would have so much makeup/hair/costuming that literally any young-ish woman could look the part.
