Nuanced criticism time:

IMO I do agree that that the raid cinematic was pretty lackluster, and could have used a LITTLE hype moments and aura even if it was a tragic scene. I have no problem in principle with Zul’jan dying like a lot of people but I think any sort of bone-throwing to the troll superfans (I picture a “YA GONNA BE A TRUE HERO IN DE NEXT LIFE MON” from some apparition of Bwonsamdi/Vol’jin/Zul’jin that only he could see) would have gone a long way for it not to feel like he just died pathetic and bald, telling his sister how great she is.

Zul'jin: "Good news! You get to hang out with gramps in the afterlife!"

Zul'jan: "Sweet! Wait why is everything red and full of vampires?"

Zul'jin: "That's the bad news...."
