I loved the reaction from the crowd when she LOOKED like she was gonna put the helm on. Then everyone had a WTF moment right after haha I've had a couple questions about the narrative cinematics and I've had no idea who to direct them to. If you had the time could you pls dm? :)

Sure fire away. I’ll answer what I can.

Awesome! So BFA seemed to be a real turning point in how blizzard wanted to convey narrative. I'm not sure of exact minutes but it seems like we got more high quality cinematics in the saurfang arc than the entire history of wow put together, which is amazing. (1)

Is this something that is likely to continue, considering how successful it seems to be at getting players hyped and also being able to really tell an important plotline, and convey so much character growth/emotion etc? (2)

Personally, I would love that and I know a lot of folks here would too. It's all up to the powers at be. Fingers crossed!

Fingers crossed then! There's just something. About blizz cinematics coupled with the music that get a really emotional rise out of me, I'm sure I'm not alone haha I have a technical question, but don't know what I'm talking about if for example, (1)

A model/asset (scourge) or an environment with materials, lighting, colour pallete etc (ICC environment/structures) is made, does it make it significantly easier to re-purpose them in future for another cinematic, making a series of cinematics more viable than random ones? (2)

Great question! The answer is yes, it does...mostly. It depends on what level fidelity the asset was first created. So if it was originally a background character, it will need some more love if it’s suddenly a “hero” character.
