Further thoughts: I think this just comes down to Blizzard not writing a game. The Battle for Azeroth primarily exists in transmedia narrative, with the game at best paying lipservice. The quality of the CGs, music, direction, acting etc is covering for reeeal basic writing.

Haven't the "For the Alliance" and "For thr Horde" been just as clumsy and repetitive over the years? I will say, it's very cheesy with the one liners and everything. But when has it not been? In the context of Warcraft story I wouldnt single out bfa for that. (1/2)

Maybe we just grew to desire more depth in our stories, which is totally fine. But too look at how they've done the story before and say bfa is worse? Idk, I dont see it. The way they're telling it, agreed, not the best. What they're telling, in line with what I'd expect. (2/2)

If you’re looking for subtlety look at the smaller picture. Look at the stories within the zones. The big picture is full of petty politics and moustache twirling, but World of Warcraft is about the hundreds of small stories your character experiences in their journey.

I dunno, drawing parallels to MoP's cinematic "[What do we fight for? For home, for family." Having Anduin deliver Chen's line, as a sincere question, that was subtle. Saurfang acknowledging Blackhand, good throwback. There was a lot of good house keeping in the writing.

Creative direction? Sure, a tad hamfisted, I agree. But even the in-game writing, the way they have more seasoned commanders point out to Anduin "Here's the trap you're walking into-" was a useful use of characters. Drawing parallels to the Gates of AQ event vs. BfA Sillithus.

i don't mind the story at all but i do agree the dialogue is a bit run of the mill/cheesy a little too often. what's sad is the catch phrases wouldn't be half bad if they didn't use them at every single opportunity they had. just build better dialogue and improve tenfold imo.

The last "for azeroth" line didn't feel right at all. If he had said "End It!!" It would have held depth. "For azeroth" just broke my focus on the cinematic. I did like when she said "I trusted you!" But that was the end of any connecting with her.
