How close was she to her ...Ah, you do have a point. How close was she to her father really? That's a real question, I don't know the story all that well. It's hard for me to compare the weight of those losses for her, and maybe that's when it's good to just let things go in a storyline. Everything doesn't always make sense but sometimes you just gotta let things slide to not worry over it. Who knows, maybe Blizzard was banking on the large majority of players at that time to not be well versed in the Proudmoore family history. It is kind of a blip in the bigger storylines after all (much like Falric and Marwin or however you call them.) I'd really love to pick some brains over at Blizzard! ;)Gladlyhttp://www.thereadycheck.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920837058430405198.post-24992060828748641372012-01-22T10:03:47.066-08:002012-01-22T10:03:47.066-08:00Thanks!
I still have yet to read any of the novel...Thanks!<br /><br />I still have yet to read any of the novels (for shameeee, I know.) So I'm working off what the game shows, with some WoWpedia thrown in. I can't blame Jaina for being conflicted. It's just...this is the girl who killed her own father (albeit not by her own hand) for the greater good, but she's struggling with the decision on Arthas, who has turned into a much, much bigger bad than Admiral Proudmoore was. <br /><br />Or, as my roommate constantly reminds me, I have no stomach for mushy things. I run out of the room screaming every time there's a romantic comedy on. So maybe I'm just not the target audience. Ahaha. <br /><br />And you're right about emotionally tying us to the characters. If Blizzard hadn't done such a good job I probably wouldn't care about Jaina, love or hate her.<br /><br />As for Turalyon - there's a blue post vaguely promising we might see him again. There's still hope!Kaezholhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07558517799537833938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920837058430405198.post-25169721547577002612012-01-22T06:33:51.257-08:002012-01-22T06:33:51.257-08:00Such a great write-up Kae!
I definitely agree wit...Such a great write-up Kae!<br /><br />I definitely agree with you that the new DS dungeons are much more immersive than the ICC ones, with the exception of HoR of course. I loved the idea of Falwic and Marwin (?) still trying to protect Arthas even now (then?). I don't begrudge Jaina her emotions though, poor girl has been through a lot with her brother and father and KT, and I think she carries an enormous amount of guilt in her heart still for Arthas. Such a tragic story, I can definitely say Arthas was one of the best books I ever read!<br /><br />And I feel much the same way about Tyrande in regards to her relationships with Malfurion and Illidan. It's easy to forget jusy how much of a past they all have together, back to their childhood, and everything they experienced together in the first Burning Legion invasion. <br /><br />I guess strong female characters aren't as important to me as real ones, vulnerabilities and all. I'm far from being any form of a feminist--and bad costume choices aside--and I tend to be very forgiving of Blizzard in all their storyline low points (Aggra excluded, gawd I hate her), but I think they've really done an amazing job of tying us emotionally to so many characters, those ladies included. Of course the novels do help a great deal. And while I am rambling off the topic: Turalyon, can we haz him back pweeeeeease???Gladlyhttp://www.thereadycheck.comnoreply@blogger.com
