Warbringers: Sylvanas
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 лип 2018
- In war, nothing is certain. In just one moment, a single action can determine victory or defeat. For Sylvanas Windrunner, warchief of the Horde, war has led her to many such moments-including one that will change the course of history on Azeroth.

If I knew Teldrassil could burn so easily, I never would've started campfires to level my cooking.
Nathan Hart lmao
This made my day :D
You'd think the Night Elves would have spells to prevent that.... Or at least put around a few fire extinguishers, or water elementals, or something... Seriously, this is not my fault. This was NOT built to code!
Yep. You'd think it'd go up in flames the first time a Panda opened a soup kitchen inthere. Seriously... highly flamable for a tree that grows out of the goddamned ocean.
Really what I thought, Like Um Why isn't there a spell or something for Teldrassil?
You notice when windrunner told nathanos to "Burn it" even he was hesitant
Yup
He was like "Dafuq, sis?"
Their explanation was that he was surveying their handywork and was kinda in lala land when she first gave the order which is why he was like wut?
That’s saying something
He had regret when he got his new body too. It is his brothers
@@Rexwar31 Not his brothers, but his cousin
"You cannot kill hope."
"Can't I...?"

Yes.
Damm that's cruel

The way she says "can't i?" is absolutely perfect. Blizzard hired purely great voice actors.
FRR
@Michael not im the gameplay
I always thought she said "dont die" as in to make her last memory her home burning
It'll be great if they stop firing great story writers. The story is sooo bad.
Anthony Defilippo ohhh boeh if only you read the spoilers for shadowlands. This all makes sense. Yes her killing these night elves and burning the tree... there was a very important reason for why she did this. A key to let you know good this is... Sylvanas is a key and essential player in helping us save all of Azeroth inhabitants. And worst/best of all, Sylvanas is not who she was thought to be, but who she was displayed to be, was very necessary.
Now it was needed for us to not see this coming. Letting you know now, there’s a lot of distractions that took place in legion and bfa. A lot of the lore for Sylvanas in those expansions were just results of what she was actually doing in secret and a little of it was personal. These all were distractions though. But there were hints placed in each cinema and in quest lines for bfa and legion to let us know what was going on.
Top 10 pranks that went too far.
HAHA xD
xDddDDdDDD
Well, Arthas isn't known to be a master prankster...
Why im laughing
omg :')
You know your orders are incredibly questionable when Nathanos even hesitates to follow through.
heheh.... im glad i wasnt the only one that actually noticed that, and considering Nathanos is quite a vile guy.... But i question Saurfang approving of this, he's honorable in magnitudes greater than anyone in WoW currently, veteran of every single previous war, veteran of the might of kalimdor, veteran of the Lich King War, Garrosh's Betrayal and single handledly, even at his age, brutalized the entire klaxxi corridor that lead to garrosh's chamber, thats one though orc, and i dont see him blindly following sylvanas anytime soon
Funny enough Saurfang doesnt blindly follow her for long... just wait til BFA
Im betting Saurfang isnt approving on it. Wouldnt surprise me if he is hoping she takes it far enough to cause her own downfall within the horde.
No, he is not approving. He didn't even want to throw that axe into Malfurions back, he even said himself it was dishonorable. And this...There's absolutely no honor in it. Saurfang would never ever do something like this.
Captain Potato I vote Saurfang to be our new Warchief.

Now I remember her in my childhood
That tree will turn into *morally gray* ashes.

what is morally gray?
This doesn't justify any of her actions at all. She saw her kind die when Arthas invades, so she does something nearly identical to the night elves? She's just become the next Arthas/Garrosh

The voice actor, no matter how badly Sylvanas is written, executed her role so perfectly!! I live for her acting!!
BURN IT!
Hah, she’s written decently. I was emotional and disappointed at first, but now, looking back, I understand, that her actions are entirely in-character for her.
@Sukuren Well not because she is Bad but because she is so salty and so normandy bad.
For her voice alone, I hope we'll have Sylvanas around us for a veeeery long time. She's sensational.
I'd love to meet her voice actress someday she is AMAZING in this part
So Sylvanas is basically a marksman hunter that decided to try and melee a frost DK?
Kind of her own fault
That's why she said I remember a fool
Arthas was Unholy as a DK before he became the Lich King.
Only have so many arrows.
In Vanilla Wow, You run out of ammo(arrows) if you dont stock up and she died before Vanilla
Before... Cataclysm I think hunters had melee options and bow options...

Sylvanas: Hold my beer.

I hope blizzard keeps her as evil as she is I don't want a moral crisis episode, EVIL ALL THE WAY !

I know everyone is busy complaining about the plot, but is no one going to mention how beautiful the animation and music are? The transition from the present to the fall of Quel'thalas, the crescendo when she's stabbed by Arthas... absolutely breathtaking!
That moment her tear burn marks were created during her death.. Beautiful small detail..
i loved that too
"Have you given any thought to what this means, Sylvanas. What difference is there between you and the Lich King now?"
"Isn't it obvious, Examus? I'm *MORALLY GREY*."
the foreshadowing no one remembers.
"The difference is that I fight for the horde"
I remember. I remember all the things slyvanas did when she was killed and raised by arthas. Honestly that dying night elf should've said as much. "You are no better than Garrosh, no better than Arthas, you are worse than them.
Examus93 a cool backstory.

The way she said, "Can't I?" is so much more chilling (and impactful) than the way she says, "Burn it!"
The rank of the Warchief is cursed it seems. Either you die, or live long enough to see yourself become the villian.
That's what you get for being Horde
Only Thrall was worthy, this demon must be purged.

"...Can't I?"
Hooly. Good voice acting.
“You’ve made life your enemy, and that is a war you’ll never win.” I love that line. It really represents how Sylvanas kinda hates her own existence and tries to destroy everything in her path to deal with it. I think she’s such an interesting character I hope they do her right in SL.
She wants death, but not yet. Because she knows what awaits her if she dies. She needs us to fix her predicament.
@@josephcole8808 i hope so!!! She's been by far my favorite. And I've played since 2 months before WoTLK came out. I hope they do her justice in shadowlands and don't just turn her into a boss

@Jackson MitchellSylvanas is the shadow hokage? Well she did say she was giving us liberation to then just go work for the Jailer lol, I hope she is a double agent.
Last time I remember someone waged war on the living,
we solo him weekly in hope for a mount...while afking in his 2 minutes roleplay.
I really hope that she won't become garrosh 2.0
garrosh actually did nothing wrong tho
She won't. She'll become Lich Queen.
She literally already is garrosh 2.0
Branwen meant Arthas I think. And she's pretty much 1 step away from being Garroshi 2.0

"She's not evil, guys, we swear." ~ Blizzard, probably
Evil is a vague term with some characters. She is leaning there, but does care for her people. Until that vanishes, she is not fully evil.
Cares for them enough to murder them.

"After all you've put me through, woman...the last thing I'll give you is the peace of death"
Let's take a moment to appreciate that as a *normal elf ranger* Sylvanas gave Arthas the Lich King such a fight that he wanted to make her suffer forever. That's why I can't understand people who doubt that as an undead banshee with nothing left but rage and fight, she could beat Bolvar Fordragon, who is, remember, a generally good guy who was certainly not going to release the Scourge to fight her.
@@amouramarie exactly, bolvar was mearly Lich King as a last ditch effort to stop the sourge from destroying Azeroth he had no intention on actually ruling the dammed the same way Arthas did or using his powers and the most key reason, he didnt have Frostmourne the blade that literally ate souls and gave its wilder more power for every sould consumed
@@darthrevan5609 The problem with that is um, he was using lich king powers in the cinematic. Throughout legion he was sitting on icecream citadel powering up. Empowering his death knight bois and finding some cool undead artifacts. Lich king is not that powerful of an entity, it's his army that is. Sylvanas should've had some of her loyalists and bolvar should've had death knights like four horseman and stuff. Big scale battle for icc with sylvanas eventually reaching the top and 1v2ing bolar and his death knight champion who both together doesn't get like totally rekted but like medium rekted.
@@amouramarie Arthas was just a Death Knight when she fought him as a ranger. Not the Lich King. So this argument's premise is flawed.

@@BansheeKing22 I'm what many consider a feminist and I didn't ask for that.
A crucial detail from the novella is left out here. Sylvanas knew that Saurfang failed to kill Malfurion, so she burned the tree as an alternative way to break the night elves’ spirits.
Maybe if Saurfang did the ONE THING he was supposed to do, we wouldn't be here.
@@marymccann3500 Maybe if Saurfang had of let them fight Malfurion would have killed her there and then and we wouldn't be here? OR, maybe if she had just finished off Malfurion herself instead of telling the orc who was BLATANTLY struggling with his morality at that moment to do it while she walked off, we wouldn't be here.
“Prepare to invade the tree”. not prepare to burn it to the whole ground. She burnt the tree because she was roasted by a night elf
@@marymccann3500 It's an important part of the story. She wants Saurfang to feel that he has dishonored the Horde and broken her trust

"You can't kill hope".
She really gave Sylvanas no choice
well. in the end, that little Nelf was right. Saurfang proved it
Bethany Alexander Saurfang proved nothing. He died a fool.
Lady Sylvanas did nothing wrong.
Benjamin Schaetzle Nope. He died a fool who betrayed his people and allies all for an antiquated, nonsensical notion of “honor.”
Players: We want Horde with a good Warchief!!
Blizzard: You think you do..but you dont...
They're never going to live that down.
we aren't allowed to be bad, blizz will just make us kill our own warchief against our will again.
The Horde can still be savage while at the same time being honorable, those are not antagonistic qualities with Sauerfang being the perfect example. Take the scenario that happens above, he effectively and savagely attacks and destroys the nightelf military forces with little restrain, yet his orders during the attack on Lor'Danel were to extract the civilians from the fight, interrogate them and then let them go unharmed.
Franco Cepeda we don't. At least I don't. I'm a pvp horde player though. Down with the Alliance
Well, to be fair, back in orcs and humans and warcraft 2 the Horde was definitely evil, the point was that players could play as the bad guys, which almost never happened in games at the time and was a welcome change from constantly playing as pure hearted heroes. The Horde has never acted like they were morally upright, they prize freedom and strength. The one thing the Horde has over the Alliance is that they don't pretend to be something they are not, the Alliance had more problems with infiltration, corruption, and betrayal. Usually when the Horde goes bad, they are honest about it and don't bother to hide or pretend to be holier than thou.
Congratulations Sylvanas, the Lich King would be proud.
No no, that doesn't hit hard enough.
_Arthas_ would be proud.
See, _now_ you've burned her.
viewernewest in a way, Sylvanas is like Magneto. She has the same views as Arthas, but she had to go against him because he killed her. Like Eric and Shaw from X-Men.
Considering that WoW died with the Lich King that is actually a rather fine compliment.
Wow. That’s actually food for thought.
True, there is part of lich king in her, when she die and jaina wow will die, even more than now
So first Blizzard ruined Darkshore and Ashenvale in Cataclysm, and now they just completely ruined Teldrassil. As someone who’s first character was a night elf, I have to say that Blizzard clearly hates night elves.
why would an archer slide into melee range of a mounted armoured knight
"I remember... a fool."
Well she didn't see the undead army in front of her when she was sliding
Dumb artistic decision. The way she originally died in WC3 is her trying to pull one last arrow to shoot at Arthas, but Arthas being too quick and slicing her.
there also wasn't only 3-4 elf archers shooting at 15 undeads with Arthas... it's for visuals. and elfs, hunters, know how to handle the close combat fights, hence the 2 daggers everyone is wearing, surprise?
@@ChoJun69 No smart elf Hunter would try to engage in melee combat with a Death Knight unless they have no other options. Death Knights outmatch Hunters by far in melee combat.
Did everyone see all that moral ambiguity that didn't exist in this video? You know, the morally grey area that Blizzard keeps claiming?
Okay, good. Neither did I.
i was just thinking that
It’s war
It's a war nd this is a tree...
The ambiguity is that the Alliance is just as bad
Saurfang has fallen just as far for listening to this command. He is supposed to be a paragon of honor amongst the Korkron. Carrying out this order makes him Garrosh, slaughtering children.
It's interesting that so far both the warbringers have been poked by Arthas in one way or another...
nice one ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
heh
Hahahahahahahah good one
Nice one
lolll
I like the part where in telling this story to the night elf Sylvanus completely left out the part where she begged for death before Arthus turned her into a banshee
Those tears... Are most likely the tears of Elune. She is the one speaking to Sylvanas
Nah, these are the tears of Blizzard fans who mourn for the death of their once favorite studio.
Can we all take a moment to realize how stupid sylvanas was to power slide into frostmourne.
Simon Dastvan lol!
She DID say "I remember.. a fool."
It wasn't quite like that in the game, but who has time for that when a dying elf is making you recount your past?
"Yeep. This sounds like a GREAT idea!" quoth Sylvanas before death, probably
This is a retelling of the story, with some artistic freedom. It is not what actually happened.
2:33 the line “you’ll soon join your loved ones” is very interesting coming from Sylvanas considering she can’t just die. She can’t ever escape her suffering, even in death. She’s envious and full of rage. I don’t disagree she’s evil.. but her character arc is tragic and harrowing.
Sylvanas, along with Illidan, and maybe Jaina, are the only characters with a somehow deep psychology. Like, they've lived through things and made conclusions out of their experiencies. They act like the characters that lived through what they have lived, and really aim a certain goal.
rosecoloredglasses ohh i never noticed that. i really appreciate that line now.
@OWA That's actually a pretty cool insight; I agree. If they hadn't used him for Legion, I think Illidan would likely have been the third Warbringers focus instead of Azshara.
I agree. I like Sylvanas I really do but this was just awful. I never thought I would see her following the path of Arthas. To see Sylvanas, the former Ranger general of Quel'thalas and the leader of a Forsaken people turn from morally gray to straight evil is sad.
Would have been much better (and added to her character) , if she said "You'll soon join your loved ones, that is a luxury that I lack."
Archimonde didn't succeed sylvanas did wow
What an entire f*cking legion of demons cant do, a smaller faction of tribal races and corpses can do at least with success. Seems legit.
LOL
KEK
BUR
HUE
Actually, archimonde tried to destroy the other tree, Nordrassil, wich was protected by 3 united factions.
Sylvanas burned Teldrassil, a tree protected by a few night elves warrior since the fleet was at Silithus.. so yeah, that was more easy
... Now that i think of it, where is alextrasza in all of this you know, the dragon aspect of LIFE ?
Well remembered
I forgot about that "little" detail ^^'
Wrong tree.
I can hear Archimonde weeping from The Twisting Nether.
"Sylvanas is morally grey" If the writers call that grey then they need to really consider a new career choice.
I'm color blind and even I can tell this aint Grey.
Man, this is new level of pitch black morale
Edward Burke sorry but grey isn't a color
If this is grey, then I'd love to see their definition of morally black.
Yeah 😕😕😕
I think a lot of people forget she's a banshee.
No, it's just that blizz never implemented any banshee-esque abilities for Sylvanas till now.
She was before she returned to her body. She only had a very short time of being a banshee
'i grieve for you', boy if that didn't struck a nerve, burning or not.
me on my period: life is pain
@Benjamin Schaetzle Blood for the Blood God, and skulls for his Skull Throne!
arthas would be so pleased to see how she turned out.
Phryne Mnesarete Or More like laugh how she is still doing exactly what he would have done, despite not being under his control
Balnazzardi yeah exactly, that's what I meant. the ultimate victory of an abuser is when their victims turn into abusers too.
inbe4 bolvar/ner'zhul dying of laughter on the frozen throne looking at sylvanas bs

a Fully powered Sylvanas would reck the strongest Arthas shape
its was a pleasure to see arthas again

The one....The True..........Lich King......
Sadly, no minor dialogue from his Warcraft 3 lines. Patrick Seitz shouldve do it
I wish they had saved him for later.
I just noticed whilst watching this video that the markings under Sylvanas' eyes were the burns that her tears made when she died defending Quel'Thalas. I had never felt more sorry for her and what she'd eventually become.
Never noticed sheesh
Man, I remember when I first played in Wrath of the Lich King and made Horde alts. I was so awestruck by the character of Thrall and his role as Warchief. I was kind of regretting having started off as Alliance. "It is your duty to aid the Horde and defend our way of life. But it is also your duty to know when quarter and compassion should be extended to friend and foe alike".
Nine years later, I'm just wondering who the next Warchief will be. Like Jaina and Azshara, Sylvanas is bound to become a raid boss. Probably in Thunder Bluff. It is unlikely that she will be able to come out of that without making too many enemies among the Horde leaders. Also worth noting is that TWO racial leaders joined forces with the Alliance in Nazjatar.
So who's it going to be? Baine? Saurfang? Some troll?
I've never understood why Thrall made Garrosh Warchief in the first place. He never seemed like he was ready for such a position at all. Just always seemed like bad writing to have Thrall make such a terrible call. It should have just been Cairne.
Soooo She wanted to take the tree...but then Miss Random Night Elf NPC made her feel bad...so she decides on a whim to burn down the whole tree.
What a great leader.
Ben L. What a great writing.
this is what happens when u let woman become leaders
It looks like she was going to do it anyway. The catapults were already in place with fire and enough range to hit the tree, she said she wanted them to lose hope before we went to darkshore too.
Ben L. Wait, haven’t we met before?
well.. its not a random NE NPC.. Thats Captain Delaryns(spelling?)
An Undead Warlord invades and destroys an Elven city, and forces one of the city's defenders to watch? Where have I seen this before?
ohh history repeated
Arthas: Yes. i am the one who is he. who did that thing to that one that was her. destroying the thing she had.
OUFFF
@Palestinian Queen ES IST EIN INTERNATIONALES CLIQUE
POETRY
"There was no honor in this they will come for us now ALL OF THEM"
The Fall of Silvermoon in Warcraft III (and being forced to destroy that which I loved) was profoundly impactful to me back in the day, even after all these years it continues to resonate and my thoughts often come back to it.
This sent chills down my.....tentacles.
N'Zoth What are you doing here? How did you get access to UA-cam?
That sent tentacles up my.....chills.
He created UA-cam to corrupt us all!
The Berserk Spoogz You know its hard to type with tentacles.
N'Zoth your doing your best buddy keep trying see you in a few patches bro
please no Garrosh 2.0.......
ToX YnEr it is already
Yeah to late
Insulting people who don't want lazily repeated lore is pretty moronic.
The difference is that she "Serves the Horde".
That moment you look into it and you realize saurfang was the one who came up with the entire plan and then screams about honour
But he never came up to commit mass genocide!
sylvanas at the start of bfa: FOR THE HORDE!
also sylvanas: THE HORDE IS NOTHING!
We are all nothing.
are we surprised though
Well, it's not like she ever believed it anyway. She always did what she had to for her and her people.
Pretty sure she's gonna turn out to be another Illidan. Misunderstood, but necessary in the end.
Sylvannas Circle : Get Some Friends-> Lead Nations -> Betray It -> Get Some Friends And Repeat :v
Sylvanas is not morally grey and I think this proves it.
People are calling her "Garrosh 2.0" but those people are wrong. Very wrong. Dead wrong. She's Arthas 2.0. She's finally become the thing that she hated the most.
What is the ethical difference between Sylvanas burning the Great Tree and Arthas burning Stratholme? At least Arthas had the excuse of "these people are poisoned and will turn into the undead". Sylvanas was told that the only people inside the Tree were innocents and non combatants...but she burned it anyway.
...Actually upon reflection this makes her WORSE than Arthas ._.
EDIT: I know that Arthas did more than burn Stratholme. I was just comparing apples to apples here since both of them wound up burning some major city.
Arthas' worst deeds were leaving soldiers to die in Northrend by destroying their ships home and then blaming hired Mercenaries for it so they are summarily executed by Arthas' soldiers.
Arthas also lusted for the power to destroy demons and dreadlords and got it with the power of Frostmourne which further corrupted him and lead him down the path of the Lich King and killed his own father.
But let's not pretend for a second that Sylvanas wouldn't sacrifice what little humanity she has left for more power or that if her parents were still alive she'd find some way to justify them.
She's a stone cold killer and war monger who's been slowly developed to be the monster she sought out to destroy all along. It's a great development for a character! She's a prime villain but she's essentially become another Arthas. I expect her to eventually retreat and come into contact with Bolvar somehow.
one of the best arguments so far
Thats a logical conclusion of Sylvanas story, don't know why people hate, she had it coming for a long time.
She understands, if you don't, you are weak. For what is coming, there is no place for weakness. She might not be the warchief you want, but she sure fkn is the warchief we need.
That's a lazy comparison, Arthas did much more things than Stratholme...
Yea, Stratholme wasn't when he turned evil, it was when he decided to kill the mercenaries that helped him reach the ships and destroy them and Teldrassil is still worse.
"You can kill us, but you cannot kill hope."

So... where's the morally gray?
Allison Cabanilla I know right?! This is down right chaotic evil
Morally grey ashes?
aliance want to anhilate us, for a long time, this is survival mode so ... although garrosh did nothing wrong, sylvannas will lead us to victory of independence
Denuhm
Lawful evil.
She summed it up "cant kill hope" take out the symbol of their hope to stop any chance of a insurrection, if the land is strategically not that important to hold why not burn it down? Its like everyone just found out medieval based warefare was abit brutal LMFAO
I feel like even Illidan would be like, woah girl, i know im edgy but fo real?
Who’s here after watching Uther and Sylvanas’ interaction cinematic?
Me
:( I'm going to miss her
