And 6 year later this Cinematic is still unprecedented, as a fan of lore every moment of this cinematic is a masterpiece whoever made this deserves an oscar.
I’m a director by trade. And this is one of the best storyboarded trailers in cinematic history. The level of nuance and storytelling in 5 minutes is better than nearly 20 years of story blizzard has ruined in one expansion
This is an alternate universe, yeah. Specifically an alternate universe and also in the past. This was the moment where Grom first drank the blood, but in this universe his son Garrosh intervened and told him that it was a trap and that he’d be enslaved by the demons.
Man, the detail in this is absolutely stunning. Almost makes you believe that the orcs are real and this is live action. The little things on Grommash and Garrosh, the hair, the cloth movement, the realistic muscle movement as Grom catches the axe, hell, even little drops of sweat tricling down Garrosh's brow from the heat. If the upcoming Warcraft movie doesn't pull off at LEAST this kind of quality for the orcs, I'll be very, very disappointed. Blizzard really sets the bar high with their cinematics.
That insane attention to detail in every Blizzard made cinematic always brings goosebumps to me, and I don't even play World of Wacraft anymore despite being a massive fan of the Warcraft series. However the fact that the game is going back to on the lore and even changing it slightly just means they want Warcraft to take a closer look at the original past and ask the all mighty "what if". Splendid idea I say. By insane detail I mean look at how that orc when he takes off his hood. You can see individual sweat drops move and pile up in strains. All those damn pores and single strands of hair. That damn explosion and the dance that the flames do each time. Much effort has gone into just a couple of minutes but damn, these are some juicy couple of minutes.
Nick Santillo Every day WoD drives me closer to unsubscribing. All I do daily is pet battle dailies and weekly raids. Got all my chars to 100 ffs. Can't be bothered to do Tanaan on all of them.
***** Yeah, I've not played in 2-3 months now, it just lost all interest for me... it basically turned into Apex farming, Garrison bullshit and *insert your other interest of pvp, pet battles or w/e* I've been playing WoW for 10 years and while I burned out, or became bored or needed a break, it was because I had been playing TOO much of it...with WOD, i stopped 3 times in it's 4 month period and this time is the last. Legion doesn't look like it's gonna fix any or the real problems imo. I personally recommend you save your money and just play other games
WoD got so much hate from the majority of players but the soundtrack, questing and zones are all so great imho. Very memorable. My favorite place to level all these years later and just crank the music and ambiance.
Ya, people need to take off there rose colored glasses. WOD is definitely not the best expansion, but the effort that went into this trailer trumps all others except maybe Battle for Azeroth.
There's tons of people here saying the cinematic is great. Do we really need to go through every line and say if its good or not? That's some pretty stupid thinking.
It's a cool line, but the most underrated line from a Blizzard game, for me, still goes to Diablo from Diablo 2. "Not even death can save you from me."
For those who dont know the exact meaning of this cinematic, Garrosh travles back in time( With a homie bronze dragon guy) after escaping prison, Garrosh brings future technologi( as seen when they attack the big green fucker) The main character of the trailer is Garroshes Father "Grommash Hellscream" The axe is "Gorehowl". The guy who has a hood on in the begining and saves grommash is Garrosh. The drink is actually drunk in the main storyline that we know, but not here. The drink gives sick powers, but ur skin turns green and you will be easily mainuplated by the demon fkers. As Grommash says " What do we have to give in return" Gul`Dan is seen with red eyes and green skin as he is already possesed. Gul`dan knows this, but he only wants power for himself as he will be gifted with an even greater power if he makes them drink. The Dark portal will make them appear in our real timeline, even tho it seems the dreanor/outlands is in the past. Garrosh liked the old horde much more then the "new one" with alliances with tauren, troll ect.
"Big green fucker" is Mannoroth, lol. He's the #1 Pit Lord in the Burning Legion who enslaved the orcs, who originally come from Draenor, and used them to invade Azeroth, and he shows up prominently in Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos. What's funny is that in both realities, this one and the original, he gets killed by Grom Hellscream with a critical strike from his ax. I like how they referenced the cinematic in WC3 where Hellscream dies due to Mannoroth's body exploding, but only this time it's different because Garrosh saves him. Nice little tidbit for lore fans, especially those who enjoyed the WC3 campaign.
I don't remember Grom being so... huge. -Or... brown.- Never mind about the color. I forgot that was... apparently?... due to drinking Mannaroth's blood in the first place. And I just realized something. Blizzard Entertainment... is pulling a full-on _Star Trek_-style reboot here. Seriously. They are undoing a *major* event in the timeline and splitting things off from the original. Granted, the _Warlords of Draenor_ content is completely isolated in its own "time pocket", just like all the other retellings of major events (Black Morass, The Culling, Archimonde...), but still... So I guess it's not a blatant ret-con so much as a "what if?" sort of thing.
Yeah, well, I think every male character became huge after WoW started :P And I'd say the only thing they've signifcantly retconned was the Draenei's origins, and even then, they don't talk much about that except in the WC3 user's manual. Everything else, including the Pandaren, were always there since WC3 at least.
Marksman230591 If i didnt say green fucker and added all the thing u said no one would read and yes i know who he is :P Thx for adding the content for others tho
3:19-3:28 I don't know how many dollars were put into these 10 seconds in particular but they were worth every penny. Garrosh in these 10 seconds is to this day the best and most realistic orc ever depicted.
That slam dunk head cleave was so perfect and the sound it made when it went deep into mannoroth's was so satisfying. Props to the Animators and sound designer - 6 years later and it's still perfect!
Plot was terrible. If you tell a time travel story, then have only one character from current time interact with the old timeline (and he gets killed off about 5 hours in), you don't understand what time travel stories are for. They may as well have just called this World of "Warcraft II". A transparent excuse to bring back Gul'dan as a villain, since apparently their ability to think up new ones is so bad they have to go back to 20 year old greatest hits.
"And what Gul'dan, must we give in return?" "Everything." Gul'dan, master of lies and manipulation chooses in that very moment out of all moments to be honest. Talk about a bad time to be honest for once. He would have been better off just lying and giving a more pleasant answer like saying "nothing Grom, its a gift," instead of saying "everything." idiot moment +1 for Gul'dan right there.
Yeah, that little chat was just a formality (or rule of cool). Gul'dan was probably already convinced that it's a done deal, and Grom was already planning on not doing it anyway.
I disagree. I feel like Garrosh would have done it anyway, he'd be like "Why would I drink this elixir?" "It will give you the power to conquer all!" "Downsides?" "You'll be my BDSM slave until you die, then I'll resurrect your corpse and you'll continue for eternity." "Will I glow red?" "...yes..." "Deal."
THAT SCENE WHERE MANNOROTH DIES!!!! Grom made the same movements as in the WC3 cinematic but got saved by Garrosh OH MY GOD IT'S SO WELL MADE!! IT INVOKED NOSTALGIA SINCE I LOVE WC3 AND HYPED ME UP EVEN MORE ABOUT THE EXPANSION!! THIS IS GONNA BE SO AWESOME I'M FANGIRL-ING LIKE CRAZY!
@@laughingraven it's more about the symbolism of it all rather than what's actually going on; garrosh has yet to succumb to the torture and no amount of it will change that. he still has the iron will from his father and thus will never be a slave
This doesn't erase history. It's an alternate timeline and even that, as we see at the end, the portal is still being made and so the invasion still continues, just without the demonic blood in the orcs.
aljosa raketic Grommash was alive for the first invasion anyhow. He didn't die until Warcraft 3; Warcraft 1&2 happened before Mannoroth was properly finished off, and Grom didn't die until the explosion from Mannoroth killed him like what nearly happened in this scene.
i Believe that it doesn't erase history its because this is not on azeroth its going to be on Draenor so maybe its erases history on that planet but for some reason the bronze dragons have managed to save the timeline of burning crusade that is what i believe
BountyFlamor Well, it sure was convincing to old Kilrogg a few months later, along with the rest of the Iron Horde. That's what happens when you don't kill Gul'dan once you have the chance.
@@Arturhorn But..but Legion? We needed Gul'dan for Legion which was one of my favourite expansions, the last expansion when WoW actually felt like WoW.
This cinematic was the ultimate illusion, I bought the expansion because of it! It sounded perfect, an enemy so badass you don't really want to fight him...
Because of this trailer i started to work out almost everyday at the gym. By the end of the exp (lfr hellfire citadel raid) i got my shape of my life at my late 20s, bulky and rather defined. Tyvm blizzard for giving me the best inspirational workout video ever!
they half assed everything like they do with every expansion. They rather milk out another expansion soon enough instead of completing the previous one
"The conflict coming will be the Alliance's finest hour" - Chris Metzen, senior VP of Story and Franchise Development. Not a single Alliance shown in the expansion unveiling.
Rist F.G. Villains or not, it's still all Horde lore. I'd rather have more Alliance lore characters become villains than not seeing any Alliance at all. At least Horde get that (in addition to their heroes always hogging the spotlight).
Marty Blois Blizzard will never make a Alliance a villan because they are supposed to be the heros and many alliance players would be mad at Blizzard when an Allaince guy became evil
Alliance were shown, King Varien at the beginning of the lore video, also, this is NOT the horde. This is the IRON HORDE, which is just a bunch of rogue orcs who want to conquer Azeroth in our current timeline because of Garrosh.
now THIS is WARCRAFT! Chains and spikes! orcs and chaos! No more stinky undeads, fluffy pandas or glowy elves! Just the war of orcs! humans! and the burning legion as we know it!
tanto hermanus He does actualy, you can see him a few times, though he has no lines in the movie :) (also, it's the green version we know, after he drank the blood of Mannoroth)
tanto hermanus Yeah Emma is right, he does and you can recognize him in some scenes, but sadly he has no dialog, hope this is fixed in extended edition
zain gelous it doesn’t matter if it is not out yet. Both have the same flaw as both have dummy conflict story, dummy antagonist, made up reasons, etc. I see that Blizzard lost somehow the ability to properly tell a story and make players part of it, and to make matters worse, it is also happening outside the MMORPG genre and even outside of gaming. I only hope this view is flawed because I am getting too old
Blizzard Employee: Give me subs WoW player, claim your destiny. Blizzard Employee: You will all be pros. WoW player: And what, Blizzard? Must we give in return? Blizzard: Everything in your wallet... **WoW player doesnt make subscribtion** Chris Metzen: Hahahaha.... You would reject this gift. Chris metzen: And did you rant on the forums there, just to become a failure?! Another WoW player: NOOO!!! **Christ metzen/Blizzard gets attacked by WoW Community** **WoW player deals final blow to Chris Metzen** **Another WoW player saves him from being banned** Blizzard Employee: This was not suppose to happen! Another WoW player: Times have changed since Wotlk. WoW player: WE WILL NEVER SUBSCRIBE!!!!! **WoW Community cheers** WoW Player: But we will always be pros.
I too am glad so I can share with my friends, though they probably uploaded it yesterday (or earlier) and simply unlocked it as soon as the live event's cinematic was done. To quote Doc Brown "you're not thinking 4th dimensionally!"
Wrath of the Lich King cinematic is still the greatest, right behind Warlords of Draenor, which is probably the best cinematic of all time. Wrath and Draenor are very different cinematics. They are BOTH a 10/10, but TIMES CHANGE......

Legendary0202
Gul'dan told him in the patch 6.1 cutscene.
Yes, but first that was to late, second he was already dead, third Garrosh didnt tell him, Gul dan did
That slam dunk head cleave was so perfect and the sound it made when it went deep into mannoroth's was so satisfying. Props to the Animators and sound designer - 6 years later and it's still perfect!
It's the best part of the cinematic
Best gaming cinematic I've ever seen.The story,music and details are just genius.
Appearance: 10/10
Plot: 7/10
Gameplay: 2/10
Wasted Potential: 9999/10
5/10 plot might have worked if they didn’t butcher garroshs character in MOP
Gameplay was waaaaay higher than 2/10. The content we actually *did* get was very good. Problem was there wasn't nearly enough of it.
@@sheetinthestreet5903 should have had Warcraft 3 style of army for your Garrison so you could send ur army off to fight from ur holdup
The gameplay was great, the endgame was trash
Plot was terrible. If you tell a time travel story, then have only one character from current time interact with the old timeline (and he gets killed off about 5 hours in), you don't understand what time travel stories are for. They may as well have just called this World of "Warcraft II". A transparent excuse to bring back Gul'dan as a villain, since apparently their ability to think up new ones is so bad they have to go back to 20 year old greatest hits.
This has to be the best cinematic of all the cinematics
thats a lie this one is certainly the best
So far from all Blizzard's work, the Heart of the Swarm intro is still their greatest work imo ~
"And what Gul'dan, must we give in return?"
"Everything."
Gul'dan, master of lies and manipulation chooses in that very moment out of all moments to be honest. Talk about a bad time to be honest for once. He would have been better off just lying and giving a more pleasant answer like saying "nothing Grom, its a gift," instead of saying "everything."
idiot moment +1 for Gul'dan right there.
Grommash was already well aware, so it wouldn't change much.
Yeah, that little chat was just a formality (or rule of cool). Gul'dan was probably already convinced that it's a done deal, and Grom was already planning on not doing it anyway.
Hurr Durr But Gul'dan doesn't know he knows that.
I disagree. I feel like Garrosh would have done it anyway, he'd be like
"Why would I drink this elixir?"
"It will give you the power to conquer all!"
"Downsides?"
"You'll be my BDSM slave until you die, then I'll resurrect your corpse and you'll continue for eternity."
"Will I glow red?"
"...yes..."
"Deal."
nicholas grom knew all of this what he would say because garrosh told him about everything .........
Still got chills. Everytime.
WOD still has the best cinematic
That was so epic, the way they added the Warcraft 3 one into WoW. :D
Doronsmovies .
This cinematic alone can make anyone start playing an orc toon and feel proud about it.
weren't they already corrupted when Grom Hellscream killed Mannoroth in Warcraft 3?
DeadRussel yes, this trailer is basically garrosh traveling back in time to stop the corruption before it began.
H X what really? time travel?
why blizz don''t make the warcraft movie them self i don't get it
They did ;)
See the world though their eyes, we know what’s happens in the WOW 3 game is much like Lord of the Rings got modernize.
They were one of the three production companies who worked on the film. It was obvious they lent their cinematic animators to the movie.
THAT SCENE WHERE MANNOROTH DIES!!!! Grom made the same movements as in the WC3 cinematic but got saved by Garrosh OH MY GOD IT'S SO WELL MADE!! IT INVOKED NOSTALGIA SINCE I LOVE WC3 AND HYPED ME UP EVEN MORE ABOUT THE EXPANSION!! THIS IS GONNA BE SO AWESOME I'M FANGIRL-ING LIKE CRAZY!
"We will never be slaves!"
Denathrius: Heh, Garrosh anima machine go brrr
still not a slave
@@herechickens1809 cow mode
Slave is also a state of mind... Garrosh will indeed never be a slave.
@@herechickens1809 Yeah, massive difference between a tortured prisoner and a slave
@@laughingraven it's more about the symbolism of it all rather than what's actually going on; garrosh has yet to succumb to the torture and no amount of it will change that. he still has the iron will from his father and thus will never be a slave
This doesn't erase history. It's an alternate timeline and even that, as we see at the end, the portal is still being made and so the invasion still continues, just without the demonic blood in the orcs.
and with Gromash alive. that is huge difference. I hope to see Rexxar,he was with them aswell as much as I remember :D
aljosa raketic
Grommash was alive for the first invasion anyhow. He didn't die until Warcraft 3; Warcraft 1&2 happened before Mannoroth was properly finished off, and Grom didn't die until the explosion from Mannoroth killed him like what nearly happened in this scene.
aljosa raketic Rexxar was still alive in Classic bro^^, Desolace in Kalimdor.
i Believe that it doesn't erase history its because this is not on azeroth its going to be on Draenor so maybe its erases history on that planet but for some reason the bronze dragons have managed to save the timeline of burning crusade that is what i believe
who said Rexxar is dead ? xD
An understandable reaction from Grom:
Cost: 'Everything'
Return on Investment: I get to be a conqueror
Not convincing
BountyFlamor seems legit to me don't you think so Dread'Master Mephistroth
BountyFlamor Well, it sure was convincing to old Kilrogg a few months later, along with the rest of the Iron Horde. That's what happens when you don't kill Gul'dan once you have the chance.
BountyFlamor Well, now it worked out differently.
Cost: 'Everything'
Return on Investment: Our whole planet was destroyed
Hardcore WoW players: This was not our destiny.
Blizzard: Times change.
Disabled Unicorn 😂😂😂😂
LOL nice one
Do you guys not have phones?
Times change :(
aaahahahhahah
Even though its considered the worst expansion, this is my favorite cinematic in all of WoW history.
Guldan should have die in this expansion though.
EASILY
Shadowlands was worse in my opinion.
@@tschriv BFA too.
@@Arturhorn But..but Legion? We needed Gul'dan for Legion which was one of my favourite expansions, the last expansion when WoW actually felt like WoW.
Cue Huey Lewis and the News. The best cinematic yet!
See that Thor? that's how you go for the HEAD!
haahahahahahah
Lmaoooo
Ath polich
lol
Big mistake of thor.
The WarCraft movie would be much more epic if it would be a CGI like this and not with real actors...
Coming back after TWW's abysmal cinematic
Same man
This cinematic was the ultimate illusion, I bought the expansion because of it!
It sounded perfect, an enemy so badass you don't really want to fight him...
Players: WE WILL NEVER BE SLAVES
Blizz: yeah you will, your subscription ran out.
+Dcoolest my sub ran out like a year ago.
Because of this trailer i started to work out almost everyday at the gym. By the end of the exp (lfr hellfire citadel raid) i got my shape of my life at my late 20s, bulky and rather defined. Tyvm blizzard for giving me the best inspirational workout video ever!
orc power friend 💪🏼
Such a strange comment but I love it. Did you also get a nose ring and grow a Grom hair style?
@@BigManJay69 that would be cool if dude did get a nose ring and grew his hair out
This expansion would've been the best expansion ever made both storywise and gameplay wise if it weren't for the fact that it was neglected!
they half assed everything like they do with every expansion. They rather milk out another expansion soon enough instead of completing the previous one
They have interesting ideas but they dont know how to use them
Gameplay, the world, pvp was amazing.
Only thing WoD needed was more content.
@@ziudra91 pvp was garbage since pandaria brah
"The conflict coming will be the Alliance's finest hour" - Chris Metzen, senior VP of Story and Franchise Development.
Not a single Alliance shown in the expansion unveiling.
They are showing the villains. This is not our Horde. This is the enemy for both factions. Educate yourself good sir.
Pfft Alliance are boring.
Rist F.G. Villains or not, it's still all Horde lore. I'd rather have more Alliance lore characters become villains than not seeing any Alliance at all. At least Horde get that (in addition to their heroes always hogging the spotlight).
Marty Blois Blizzard will never make a Alliance a villan because they are supposed to be the heros and many alliance players would be mad at Blizzard when an Allaince guy became evil
Alliance were shown, King Varien at the beginning of the lore video, also, this is NOT the horde. This is the IRON HORDE, which is just a bunch of rogue orcs who want to conquer Azeroth in our current timeline because of Garrosh.
It had so much potential :'(
eh
+YaB0iJake lol
Minimeister317 Atleast the stuff in cataclysm was fun
everything in wod was just ew
+Alexander Eliasson opinions,people are allowed to have different views than you.
and then blizzard gave up
This could've been the BEST expansion ever hands down
well after that expansion for Chinese, that's what everybody wanted
@@Avrelivs_Gold MOP was pretty decent in content
@@J10005 Still... PANDAS. ):
def the best wow cinematic ever cant convince me otherwise
now THIS is WARCRAFT! Chains and spikes! orcs and chaos! No more stinky undeads, fluffy pandas or glowy elves! Just the war of orcs! humans! and the burning legion as we know it!
This is unironically probably the best cutscene that has ever been made
nah, bro, look Diablo 2 or WarCraft cinematics
@@philipp5142still better than
I ALWAYS come back to watch the epicness of this cinematic. =D
I'm Alliance at heart, but this definitely gets me all pumped for the Horde.
Me 2, For The Horde
who is here after watching that BS War Within trailer to remember when trailers were good.
everyone
But not gonna lie, CGI Anduin is had good touch in that trailer.
@@paulandreig.sahagun34 but its just more of the same, everything anduin related is just him crying or talking about his feelings
Whoop! On a cinematic watching spree after seeing Warcraft! :D
Its awesome how they did Grommash in the movie, exactly like he looks here in this cinematic.
wtf Grommash didnt even exist in the movie
tanto hermanus He does actualy, you can see him a few times, though he has no lines in the movie :) (also, it's the green version we know, after he drank the blood of Mannoroth)
tanto hermanus Yeah Emma is right, he does and you can recognize him in some scenes, but sadly he has no dialog, hope this is fixed in extended edition
+Emma don't forget bladefist
This is my second favorite cinematic, and this expansion's soundtrack is my third favorite. But this expansion was a clustercluck.
Clusterfuck*
Dogfartface profanity
Which is your most favourite cinematic?
Which is the first?
I think we can safely assume its Wrath of the Lich King
Probably, one of the best cinematics in videogames history.
And probably, one of the worst expansions in WoW history.
To be fair, the leveling was rad.
Nah, there is MoP and now Shadowlands and BfA.
@@i93sme shadow lands isn't even out yet/isn't finished and bfa was wayyyy over hated. The wow community just likes to complain.
zain gelous it doesn’t matter if it is not out yet. Both have the same flaw as both have dummy conflict story, dummy antagonist, made up reasons, etc. I see that Blizzard lost somehow the ability to properly tell a story and make players part of it, and to make matters worse, it is also happening outside the MMORPG genre and even outside of gaming. I only hope this view is flawed because I am getting too old
MoP is a underrated expact, as for BFA, it sucked.
Looks at Garrosh and Grommash, looks at my biceps, okay back to workout
LOL-
My arms are sticks
if the expansion was as good as this Cinematric...
It was and is.
maybe if it was your first xpac
you start in mop?
+Bladeofwar94 I started in cata, not gonna lie, and I find wotlk to be the best xpac. Especially with the dks.
I started playing in cats so I wouldn't know
2:54 Every Reign of Chaos player are in love with this scene
They really did it well. The nostalgia playing the orc campaign and rewarded with the cinematic.
😢😢😢man good old times
Quality of the expansion itself aside.
This was a badass cinematic.
Best cinematic of any expansion. Period.
2019 and I still love watching this, especially the scene where Hellscream says "WE WILL NEVER BE SLAVES! But we we will be conquerors."
Sion Eltnam Atlasia its even cooler when you figure out why he says it and kinda sad
We're all here again for the same reason. 😂
my beard grows every time i see this
Well...
My tusks grow everytime I see this.
My Tusks of Mannaroth never drop everytime I watch this.
My balls grow every time I see this.
Now that's a fitting comment, considering that in this cinematic, the only dude with a beard is Gul'dan. Def the manriest character kek.
Coming here after The War Within cinematic to comment tha this was the best WoW cinematic ever
The quality is still there, but WoD level of hype will never be achieved again.
@@ripitoshaby4576never say never

aged like milk would have over 7 years 🤣🤣🤢🤢
how are you feeling man?
epic cinematic as always, then comes the game................
Best cinematic ever. That moment when Grom shouted "WE WILL NEVER BE SLAVES!" chills
I really fucking hope the music that plays from 3:00 to 3:51 is featured on the OST...
After doing some research, I've discovered that the music DOES feature on the OST - it's Grom's theme song. Fucking kickass.
Leland Walker Can you send a link to the music please, I can't find this track :/
Nyutek /watch?v=BQEDzNzh7Tg
Nyutek The track is called simply "Grommash Hellscream" and is available in MMO Champion and Adriacraft's OST playlists here on youtube.
Thanks but it's not really what I want to find, the interressant part for me is the same as you want to find (3:00 to 3.51)
But thanks, it's cool :)
Just missed the cinematic on the stream.
Thank you for uploading so fast :-)
Same here, watched the livestream from the start, soon as cinematic starts, livestream decided it wasn't going to play for me and cut out
I too am glad so I can share with my friends, though they probably uploaded it yesterday (or earlier) and simply unlocked it as soon as the live event's cinematic was done. To quote Doc Brown "you're not thinking 4th dimensionally!"
very nice touch with Garrosh pushing Grom out of that explosion at 2:55. If you're a lore fanatic like me, you know exactly what I'm talking about :)
I secretly like this more than The Wrath of The Lich King cinematic.. Gromm is an absolute badman.
For The Horde!!
Chimp Scape Lok'tar Ogar!
Wrath of the Lich King cinematic is still the greatest, right behind Warlords of Draenor, which is probably the best cinematic of all time. Wrath and Draenor are very different cinematics. They are BOTH a 10/10, but TIMES CHANGE......
this trailer shows what true power and determination look like
I can't stop watching this lol. :D
Again, same
I cant stop watching an its almost 2018
