I'd like to go deeper into this. On a cinematic scale, this new intro looks great. Stormwind looks vibrant and alive even with such minimalistic NPC touches, much like Lion's Rest on an RP server. It's nice to see! However... it's a little troublesome in its implications.https://twitter.com/valarynn/status/1273068501092179968 …

One of the greatest things BFA suffered from was racial gentrification. WoW is such a diverse world with so many different races and cultures, yet it feels like the narrative is scared to capitalize on them. The Alliance many times ends up boiling down to "Stormwind & Friends."

It's understandable that it's difficult to juggle different racial narratives all at once, but at times it feels as though it wasn't even attempted. Every race was often shoved into generic 7th Legion armor and treated the same as your average Stormwind Guard.pic.twitter.com/plm3kIF4nM

Setting apart that the intro replaces all cities with simply Stormwind, this trend continues with this guard - a Draenei in generic Stormwind armor. Why? It's unnecessary, there's already human guards in the intro. Why not diversify it by putting her in Vindicator gear?pic.twitter.com/4p1luyk1oH

The issue was persistent even before BFA started - the war was kicked off by an event that most greatly affected the Kaldorei, yet it most seemed to be used as a catalyst for human protagonists' conflict. Reclaiming a human kingdom didn't even seem like a response to Teldrassil.

Was it reclaiming Lordaeron though? I thought it was more, this is a major Horde hub, also Sylvanas hangs out here a lot?

I will give it that, yeah. Were I to go for the person responsible, that's where I'd go too. I'm just not entirely sure if it felt enough like "this is for Teldrassil" over "you've had this for too long and it's ours." Maybe it's just me.

Maybe I'm just easy to please and stupidly bias towards shiny kings, but Anduin's "You put the torch to Teldrassil, but I failed those who burned, f u Sylvanas" seemed to put it in enough perspective for me

Yeah, that's the line I keep going back to too. I'm tentative about the whole situation, it just felt a little strange for me to gauge what the driving motivation was. I can't tell if mentioning Teldrassil was that or just a placating reference. I might be splitting hairs.

It's fine to dissect it though! I would like to see a tad more race identity in this new opening, I'm just always super wary of the first iteration of anything on the alpha setting any precedents (lest we forget, Temp Audio Lorthemar). One of the downsides of seeing it early.
