Literally brings me to tears, the detail, the music, Anduins anguish… Thralls pained eyes as he looks at a man he cares for and respects brought down to such a low point. It’s just beautiful written, animated and acted. Love it!
I love how Chris came back and he instantly took it back to right after Legion. You can tell he had this whole arc planned and when he left they kind of just tossed it to the side.
Because right, this is the first time ever a story arc has been left unfinished for a couple of extensions ever in the history of WoW. I love Metzen, but the dickriding when BFA and even DF kept on adding on the Old Gods, Titans and the Void. Yeah, you can scrub SL for sure. But then again, we know Blizzard and especialy Metzen plan way ahead in advance, at the very least the main red string, to pretend they just scapped his work (because you dont like the current story/writting/or whatever) is insane cope and peak "source: dude trust me bro", when he could just be responsible for BFA (since he left in late 2016, BFA wouldve been fully written by then) Also, the man's been back for less than a year, i'm sure they got the expac ready for Beta in 6 months and a high quality cinematic done in less than a year. Jesus, do you people even think?
@@Obantrash In truth most people don't, you can see how many people are shocked and amazed that Blizzard is announcing 3 expansions in a row and treating this like some kind of crazy farseeing thing - when anyone that knows anything about MMO game development knows they're already at least that many expansions ahead internally. Or do people think the transition from Pandaria to Warlords to Legion (and then to BFA and Shadowlands) was all some kind of random chance? The storylines are planned out many years in advance of any actual coding, let alone announcements or trailers.
That's because for a presentation stream the focus is more on the stage personnel, not the audience microphones for ambience. All we heard on Stream was just low-loudness input on the mix board. It was just toggled down
because in recent years the crowd hasn't been exactly excited about some of their announcements. Same reason they hide their subscription numbers, to control the narrative.
I don't know. It's neat when the cinematic is all bombastic and full of cool shit to hear the audience's reaction. Like with BFA and Sylvanas yelling "for the horde" the audience going apeshit was just amazing. But this cinematic is a *lot* more delicate. First of all the crowd didn't even really react in any significant way that would have reached the mics outside of Thrall appearing and the sword. Second of all, the crowd going mad in the audio track wouldn't have added much. Like yeah with the sword the crowd going mad is just reflecting how everyone else is thinking, but with this cinematic it just isn't really as relevant as it might be with others.
Hopefully they are starting to realize that passion for the universe matters the most. Everything else can be figured out later. Looking forward to Anduin growing into a badass.
@@balls433 Yes and no. They have just made things easier to understand and the story is finally getting to a solid point. Leveling and endgame content will keep you pretty busy and all the new classes are really enjoyable. Mythic key runs are really addicting lol
My Theory: Spirit broad embodying the heart of Azeroth calls out to Anduin/Thrall/Anyone who can listen, for them to save her from the Narubians who are planning a massive invasion. Anduin can't summon the light anymore, he's extinguished, Thrall is going to die, and when he calls to the Heavens to battle rez him it doesn't work....... until it does.... When Varian shows up. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
My only issue with this is did they all forget legion?? Like we did a ton of shit for the world soul, via magni of course but still, it’s not like we didn’t know who was behind magni lol, seems a bit stupid.
he was controlled by jailer. He killed alot of his friends and once he broke semi free from the jailer he went into hiding.. this cinematic picks up during his time in hiding
You know the cinematics really helo make an expansion great no ine really liked or was hyped about dragonflight and wow is struggling now but i believe with this cinematic this could be an amazing expansion if they do it right!
I was there....they didnt care that much. SoD reaction is being underplayed....it was all I heard people talking about after it was announced. I heard more about this sword and Asmon being trolled by blizz than any excitement for it.
I know, I love RS! 😃 But WoW's fidelity can't keep up with its gorgeous lore and cinematic anymore. Hard to attract new players with that, or make old ones return. Wish they'd revamped the whole thing as WoW 2.0 @@thewunk
Honestly the 2 last cinematics are the worst of all. There is a bit of emotion but ZERO action and ZERO hype. IMO the rating is : - Battle for Azeroth - Shadowlands - WOD - Cataclysm - WOTLK - Legion - BC - Vanilla - MOP - Dragonflight - The war within
DragonFlight cinematic is probably my least favorite but idk The War Within finally made me feel for these characters again which was a nice surprise. Love the ratings though for all the trailers! Thanks for sharing!
Blizz, just make feature long Warcraft movies with your cinematic team.. they are a million times better than your actual game ever is. I would legit pay to watch full length movies, but I couldn't give a shit if I ever played another minute of your game.
@@Kyriae if you want. The dev used this boring guy to remind something in this WW cinematic so i supposed the wotlk cinematic was not so boring for wow community.
Oh look, they're copying Final Fantasy 14 again. Not only have we been to the heart of our planet - we have been to the heart of 2 different moons too. I recently started playing WoW = and seeing this has really turned me off from the game. Completely unoriginal, and what little I did of the Shadowlands, I could tell it was a very horrible rehash of our expansion Shadowbringers. Sigh....
This is one of the most underwhelming reactions given how people reacted to previous expansions, but I cant blame them with this CGI in game npc talking, one of the most boring trailers
The best part of a new WoW expansion is honestly seeing the crowd reaction for it
It’s a good feeling!
The best part of a new WoW expansion is honestly seeing the cinematic trailer
Crowd = two guys lol
I agree. I love watching their reactions.
Bout time someone uploaded a crowd reaction
I’ve been looking for one for days lol surprised their aren’t more

@@Fowoxirawr I sadly only played Legion at the end of the Xpack. Loved what I played though
This is what I missed about live Blizzcon
What you missed another sensitive femboy protagonist? You a freaking king you should be a rock for your kingdom not a depressed little girl
As you can see, you missed nothing
Hopefully you can make it out next year! Such a magical experience
Thank you, I have no idea why the official blizzcon feed cut the mics to the audience this year. The crowd reaction to trailers is fucking everything.
I thought that too, although maybe they were scared of what the reaction might be?

The Arthas pose was daunting.
This is one of the best trailers I’ve seen. Short and very detailed and emotional.That sword at the end gave chills.
It’s by far the best out of all of the trailers. At least I think so. You really feel the emotional damage from Anduin
I love how it looks like Anduin has PTSD. They showed it so well. He's just..broken.
I know right?! I love it as well, such an emotional trailer
That’s Stephen Amell
@@StephenRozasholy shit. Incredible acting performance.
Love how everyone is completely captivated. They really outdid themselves with this one. Exceptional quality all around.
It was a wonderful time. Loved it. Thanks for watching!
This is one of if not the best cinematics. The detail on Anduin is amazing. Whoever did his voice hit it spot on.
I totally agree. I’ve never felt this way with a WoW cinematic and it’s just simply incredible.
It’s the same actor as before. Josh Keaton (the voice actor for Spider-Man in Spectacular Spider-Man) voices him
At first I thought they asked Stephen Amell to play Anduin. Visually speaking the cinematic is absolutely amazing.
It’s breathtaking on how well the cinematic team did on this. It’s absolutely crazy
Actually, Anduin looks remarkably like Dustin Milligan from Schitt's Creek here!
@@voxymandias441 In the battle for azeroth trailer, when he casts the AoE heal, he kinda looks like a young Brad Pitt, lol.
This cinematic trailer actually had me purchasing the new expansion. LF newbie-friendly guild!
Oh heck yeah! Thats awesome. I currently don’t have a guild right now but I play with my viewers all the time when I stream:)
Hopefully they are starting to realize that passion for the universe matters the most. Everything else can be figured out later. Looking forward to Anduin growing into a badass.
I couldn’t agree more!
I wonder how the game mechanics will be. I miss the old wow, with simple UI, detailed talent tree, easy to understand dungeon system
@@balls433 Have you checked out Dragonflight? Latest season feels pretty solid even though I'm not a huge fan of Dragonflight. I'm having a good time
@@thewunk has it gone back to its roots like vanilla WoW? I stopped playing after cataclysm

I totally agree! I can’t wait to dive into this story
Thanks for the great Raction...please give us more....👍👍👍👍👍
Will do! :)
come brothers and sisters, it is time to bring our swords, staves, glaives, daggers, hammers back to the fight. Rise up and fight for Azeroth.
sheep
💥🛡️🗡️🛡️💥
Love the graphics vibe and cinematic music. Felt like an actual movie
Right ?!?!? That’s what I’m saying lol
I love how it starts with a focus on Anduin's face just for us to say "bruh these details on that beard are so well made"
Right?! The details are insane and I love it lol
The bond between these two is epic
So do I ! 🥲
Don't ever let it end@@thewunk
Everybody love Thrall
Even we are in Alliance 😂
It’s so good!
You can see the sword in Anduin's and Thrall's eyes as a reflection right from the beggining of the video. How about that detail?
The detail is just insane. Blizzard always goes over the top when it comes to the trailer reveals
Broken Anduin is way more interesting than any character so far in the last 8 years
For sure! It’s about time they bring something like this into the game lol
Two questions.
One, who hit Anduin with the Man Stick?
Two, why did they make him look like Stephen Amell?
I thought he looked like Zac Efron. He looks great, the new and improved Chaduin. Many ovaries exploded.
@@Yusheesanmine sure did and i got none 😅
I suppose jailer hit him very hard during the last shadowlands raid
post malone
@@Yusheesan Look at the face shape and the scruff. That's Amell, early Arrow era. First season Flash, I think.
the trailer looked amazing but it wouldve been nice if they had shown the sword they were talking about at the end of the cinematic.
What sword?
What sword?
of course they were talking about the sword Anduin was twisting into the sand for some unknown, sinister purpose.
Anduin turned at least a handful of lads gay in that room I'm sure
He sure did me
@@ademordwhat is it that Anduin has that makes you wanna go gay?
Oh of course. I’m starting to question myself actually
it's like Thrall/Metzen talk to Anduin/Blizzard in this cinematic.
For real though lol
I LOVE THRALL, AND I HAVE TO SAY ANDUIN LOOKS LIKE A REAL OLD MAN !
It’s true!!
It's MANDUIN!!! xD
Boom!!
anduin just cant escape the paralels between him and arthas
He can not! We still love the guy though
@@thewunk true.
But i think somewhere in the next 3 expansions we'll see if he can pull himself back from the brink
No reaction on the Arthas move Anduin did?
Honestly, didn’t even think about when it happened until after I saw the trailer lol… oops
World of Warcraft - The Re-Cataclysmicing
Everyone in hall C started laughing their ass off when they showed the sword.
My Theory: Spirit broad embodying the heart of Azeroth calls out to Anduin/Thrall/Anyone who can listen, for them to save her from the Narubians who are planning a massive invasion. Anduin can't summon the light anymore, he's extinguished, Thrall is going to die, and when he calls to the Heavens to battle rez him it doesn't work....... until it does.... When Varian shows up. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
I like it!
Blizzard phenomenon - the cooler the cinematic, the crappier the add-on. The budget is only enough for cinematics.
My only issue with this is did they all forget legion?? Like we did a ton of shit for the world soul, via magni of course but still, it’s not like we didn’t know who was behind magni lol, seems a bit stupid.
Wow. You are starting to get more popular! :D But I think it will be good, don't you think?
Oh yes. I agree :)
from ANDUIN to MANDUIN, then CHADUIN
whats next , Olduin ?:/
Wait a second... What sword?
FOR THE SWORD?
Absolutely!
I am completely lost here. What did it happen to Anduin? Why is he so so sad? I stopped playing WoW in 2020.
Shadowlands really took a turn on him. He basically has PTSD now which is crazy.
@@thewunk Bit was he exiled? Or did he just go away? What did he do, he says he's done something...
@@LuBre He basically got corrupted within the shadowlands and caused a good amount of death & pain to a lot of different people.
he was controlled by jailer. He killed alot of his friends and once he broke semi free from the jailer he went into hiding.. this cinematic picks up during his time in hiding
Zac Efron is Anduin.
Basically lol
What sword?
Theeee sword!!😂✌️
Their cinematics never fail
So true!
why is anduin getting carried by shreks always?
Bahaha great question!
You know the cinematics really helo make an expansion great no ine really liked or was hyped about dragonflight and wow is struggling now but i believe with this cinematic this could be an amazing expansion if they do it right!
What the fuck did you just say?
I agree. This really makes me want to dive back into WoW dramatically lol
A blizzard poderia fazer um filme assim para compensar aquela porcaria de live action. Ela tem todo potencial para isso, é uma obra de arte.
Cool cinematic but makes no sense lore wise. How does Anduin or Thrall not know who the titans are?

🍻🫣
i want to hate blizzard... really but this ioncredible hype trailers bring me back every time.... i hope they treat the art team well.
I was so hyped up after this trailer. Actually, I still am! Lol thanks for watching
I was there....they didnt care that much. SoD reaction is being underplayed....it was all I heard people talking about after it was announced. I heard more about this sword and Asmon being trolled by blizz than any excitement for it.
Neat

Dude, what the fuck happened to Anduin?
The shadowlands did some damage to the guy 😬
Stephen Amell
Is
Anduin

This entire city must be purged
Battle for Azeroth 2.0.... nothing new, just mixed together and warmed up
I had a fun time within BFA. Im' glad they are finally continuing the story line of this sword. Hopefully it'll be good! Thanks for watching :)
All former wow players must defend Azeroth again it seems. Or is it just another island we go to.
Why do losers like you insist on hate watching stuff?
I’ll be defending Azeroth for sure :)
One of the best cinematics ever. Unfortunately game looks like Runescape and can't keep up anymoore.
It’s such a good cinematic. Also, RuneScape is badass 😬
I know, I love RS! 😃 But WoW's fidelity can't keep up with its gorgeous lore and cinematic anymore. Hard to attract new players with that, or make old ones return. Wish they'd revamped the whole thing as WoW 2.0 @@thewunk
For sure. Hopefully showing off the next 3 Xpacks will get people excited. I know I am !@@teresmajor7956
Not all games need to be detailed next gen. Also, World of Warcraft looks nothing like RuneScape...
Honestly the 2 last cinematics are the worst of all. There is a bit of emotion but ZERO action and ZERO hype.
IMO the rating is :
- Battle for Azeroth
- Shadowlands
- WOD
- Cataclysm
- WOTLK
- Legion
- BC
- Vanilla
- MOP
- Dragonflight
- The war within
DragonFlight cinematic is probably my least favorite but idk The War Within finally made me feel for these characters again which was a nice surprise. Love the ratings though for all the trailers! Thanks for sharing!
cash grab compagny , all the nerds are gonna find out soon
I didn't like Anduin until this trailer. FINALLY he has personality.
Totally. I love it!

hehe wow copying endwalker story.. i can tell from just watching the trailer
It’s more: wow cinematic :crowd no réaction. I Hope it’s not the war within intro cinematic cause it’s as emotionnaly flat as it’s technically good.
Explosions aren't emotions. This is the most emotionally cvharged intro cinematic hey have ever done.
