I touch on my surgery stuff in the beginning as well.

The ability of the art team to show the deep emotions and pain in Anduin with his eyes alone was so good. That first view of him with that haunted look on his face caused me to hold my breath.
Right? Almost that "Thousand yard stare" like he was trapped in the past of the ghosts that haunt him.
I loved the whole thing. I've been a huge Anduin fan since the beginning (BC-2008) and I did all of Shadowlands (never took a break). I knew from what was going on that there was going to have to be PTSD in there and omg, yes, that thousand yard stare. The CGI was flawless, watch how the lips sync with the words being said. Even with Thrall, around the tusks, just like an orc would. Anduin needed Thrall's trust, he felt so untrustworthy and you could see that little glimmer of hope as he took the sword down. Thrall stepped into the sword, the shaking stops. It's an invitation for Anduin to do what he though he might have to do and the "I trust you." broke that tension. Then, as he offers to stand by Thrall, no matter what, the slight nod and sad smile that the orc gives is a sign that he got the first step in helping the boy recover. So yeah, CGI was perfect, script was awesome (Chris Metzen is a genius) and I can't wait to see what happens.
100%
The amount of details that went into this are amazing. Easily one of their best (if not their best) cinematic to date. Purely from a nuanced storytelling perspective. This is how you build your lore. It doesn't always have to be flashy and loud.
Thrall was easily the best choice for this after WoD. “You don’t get to hide”, I love that they used that line again. If anyone can come close to understanding Anduin, other than maybe Sylvanas, it’s Thrall.
The pain and suffering he endured. The fact that he was made to suffer the presence of Arthas from the jailer as well as the hatred that had control of Sylvanas was very hard to comprehend.
His father and Saurfang coming to him spiritually to aid him in overcoming the dark evil force of the jailer and at the same time helping Sylvanas to overcome the hold that Arthas’s actions had on her served as a reminder that light can overcome the darkness.
Yet the pain and remorse Anduin is still enduring tells me that he is someone worthy of the light.
My hope is that it will be returned to him.
The moment that Saurfang and his father show up, and you see the first hand on his shoulder, and hear "my son..."
UGH. So good. One of the few bright spots in the lore of Shadowlands.
This was all hand animated, according to Metzen. Unreal.
WOW! That makes it even more impressive.
Hi! Thank you for your reaction.
I have some words I would like to say.
I’ve beaten depression, I was diagnosed with PTSD which I battled and won it but then you still battle after it. War within have two meanings , it’s about the world but yet gives the message inner you(anduin), same for thrall finding his place in the horde. However, trailer..
Trailer captured everything I battled.
1: you see someone coming back after time and tried to heal but “time itself heals nothing”. That’s super strong sadly. It’s true. It fix you to come together with inner peace.
2: Sorry to say but disgusting details, my heart broke and does every re watching. You see a broken man, and here we have Thrall giving his hand but, the memories is coming back hence the PTSD. You fought that battle and trying to scream for help, im not anymore..
Hands treble but the other pert stabilized it. “I trust you”
Strongest meaning and forgiveness there is. That’s what we all need, in the end. A helping hand that doesn’t reject you. Friends and family or random. We trust you. The forgiveness is so powerful and that’s why Anduin gave such “thank you” message via his face with tears cause… after you done something bad you are always judged by that but never have forgiveness.
Strong message captured perfectly in emotions and I thought it was real for a second. Sorry for this huge post for anyone that read but this is truly a huge message people forget what some of us are battling.
Thank you ❤
In the end 4:48 is the best moment. The relief and breath showing signs of thank you but never in words. Only feelings. Best moment
Thanks for sharing that. I commend the cinematic team for how well they portrayed it.
It didn't feel forced, or corny, Anduin genuinely feels broken, but at the end maybe a glimmer of hope with Thrall being at his side.
In Legion, Magni says that when Azeroth spoke to him, it wasn't actually a voice, but sort of like a feminine hum. In the features trailer, Alleria doesn't receive Azeroth visions, but instead, Void visions. I'm curious if the Illusive Man star look in the visions is just a front, and Xal'atath is actually the one sending out visions to talk to people. For what reason, no idea.
I thought Alleria seeing the void visions was super odd as well.
It wouldn't surprise me if it was Xal'atath given Nobbel's (possiby spoilery) video of his theory.
I quit in BFA, then quit Shadow Lands. Didn't play Dragon Flight. I will play this, just for the sword. And Metzen. You should watch Blizzcon, there are a lot of quality of life changes coming.
I watched Blizzcon today! And holy smokes am I tempted to jump back in.
Chris Metzen is SO GOOD at public speaking. I think he could sell anything to anyone.
Plus the changes coming to WoW Classic as well, it's nice to see Blizzard actually put some thought into what the players might want. I was hoping the purchase by Microsoft would start to mend things.
Firstly : I wish you a speedy recovery, i'm new on this channel, but eh!
I love how this cinemtic speaks to anduin, but also us, the player.
Shadowlands has been a rough time for Wow, both in game, and in the studio.
Thrall words, Metzen words for us is saying we can trust blizzard again, and after that blizzcon, i want to believe them.
On a side note, Blizzard get back its independance fro Activision, it has been confirmed by microsoft, i want to believe, this saga, i want to look forward to it.
As for Dragonflight, it has this feeling of blizzard trying to build new fundations, some works, some don't, it was like a sandbox to try out and propose many different activities, i give credit to the dev team for that.
It's been my hope as well that not having to answer to the horrible entity that is Activision would mean things could start to be better both behind the scenes and with the game itself. Hearing how Microsoft has been good to other studios in giving them time and leeway has kept me optimistic.
And thanks for the well wishes, I appreciate it :)
Hope you feel better. Favorite part? "I have no light.." "I trust you.."
Slow and steady Aven, thanks :)
And yeah, even his sword wasn't lit up. Just good stuff.
Dragonflight is a solid expansion, man.
An epic job from the Blizz as always, I've been playing through DF and still loving it. The emotions and detail are just incredible. So glad Anduin is back, he's one of my favourite characters.
Shadowlands was a shit show but with Metzen back in charge I have hope that it will be great again. I have to say dragonriding is a blast!
I would love a movie done like this or even a tv series. That would be so awesome, so long as they start from the beginning so non-players can follow along.
Update: I've been playing DF. I reinstalled WoW over the weekend, and gave in to the urge.
Stupid Chris Metzen and his amazing "I can sell you anything" voice :D
Dragon Riding has been tough for me to grasp, and the first night I did get motion sickness, but since then I've gotten a bit better. Been trying to collect those Dragon Emblem things. But hey getting flying this early?! I won't complain.
And YES to a full on movie. I would love full movies in between expansions bridging gaps, or if they had the resources give us the "Story of Warcraft" but in this style. It would be so good.
@@WhyOhWhyPhifortunately in the next expansion normal and dynamic flying will be available from the rip as it should be. I really cant wait for all the account wide features to come
Not having to do reps a second time? Sign me up lol
@@WhyOhWhyPhi Dragonriding does take practice. I crashed A LOT when I was first learning. LOL If you have Handy notes they have a special part of their addon for finding all the dragon glyphs, it helped me immensely. Some of them are VERY high up and it will take a few tries to get to them. One tip for putting in your glyph points, when you get to the last row go from right to left putting them in, you get better boosts sooner that way.
Is it just me or does Anduin kinda look like Stephen Amell from Arrow?
Oh my god....he does...
@@WhyOhWhyPhi if you bopther to look up video footage of the voice actor Josh Keaton, you will see the clear reflection of HIM in this; I spoke with him on discord and twitch - Been hanging around with im and a whole crew for old raids etc -- at least back when he had the time! - and he said they came and filmed him (presumably talking thru the scriopt_ in order to have a detailed video of him for reference, but no Mo-cap was used. When the scene opens with just the sideye view I saw IMMEDIATELY that those were Josh's eyes.
I also quit during shadowlands. But i always return for the sake of story been doing that since classic and all 9 expansions.
I also play for the lore. I'll take micro breaks at the end of an expansion (since I'm not in a guild I don't get to run raids outside of LFR, haven't since Cata) but Shadowlands was the first time I just walked away. Didn't even go back to Classic after TBC Classic went over like a wet fart (and it was the one I was most excited for). So yeah haven't touched anything WoW since summer of 2020. WIth Metzen back, and the stuff I saw from Blizzcon I'm tempted.
@WhyOhWhyPhi hands down.... Shadowlands is the worst expansion I have ever played. 🤧
I dont ever want to go back to classics either.
I've been playing dragonflight for one week now. I hope it's good. Seems more promising than Shadowlands so far, hehheh.
never quit, never walked away, but i remained hopeful that this dark age of Warcraft had an end, on Dragonflight launch, i was hopeful, after Blizzcon i'm elated, hyped and wanting time to move a little bit faster, just so that i can play the Worldsoul Saga sooner.@@WhyOhWhyPhi
I think Thrall saying Anduin is not his past is Metzen low key speaking to the players that WoW will not be its past (6 years), lol. Metzen did say it was a heartfelt moment, maybe he also meant, his return to WoW is heartfelt, and he wants to earn the faith of the players again.
Yeah, I've heard a few different people say that Thrall was Metzen talking to us in the beginning bits.
I played for the lore, and I hope that they have figured that out (seems like it with announcing like...what....6 years worth of content in advance), but we'll see.
Just going to say i have played every ex pac since wraith, Dragon Fight is the best expac i have ever played and legion was my favourite, but can understand those who walked away after or during Shadow Lands i almost did as well, you all missed a wonderful expac that is all I am saying shhing now
I keep hearing great things about Dragonflight, especially from a 'player experience' perspective. That and the new season of Classic coming up has me very tempted to reinstall everything.
nobody can touch blizzard on cinematics...they are out of this world
Metzen: "NOW is the time, to come Home."
Me: "i never left man, but i am relieved that you're back."
i know how you feel though, WoW was a mess the past few expansions, still is a bit of a mess narratively. but at the point of Dragonflight, it's my only grievance at this point. it's become my 2nd fave expansion, (my 1st is Legion and my 3rd is MoP) there's never a list of chores thanks to borrowed power being gone, i can feel like i am done for the day/week as far as progression and there's stuff being provided for the casuals. and best of all, the talent trees are better than ever!
my morale was very low, thanks to Shadowlands, the gameplay, music and art teams were on their A-game as usual but story and borrowed power was definitely a huge problem overall. now my morale is at an all time high, Dragonflight and what has yet to come, got me hyped.
Azeroth calls it defenders home, what say you?
Everyone talking about how great Dragonflight is is continuing to tempt me to come back.
My favorite expansion was also Legion, my second was Cata (the only time I've ever been in a raiding guild, it was a family guild, and it was a BLAST). I didn't appreciate MoP at the time, but in hindsight it might be my 3rd as well.
Cata wasnt as bad as a lot of people think it was, they claimed that there was so little content, but in reality, most of those people didnt even go back to the Old World and do anything, probably just flew over each zone after they finished the expansion. i myself leveled toons in Vanilla and in Cata i went back to those zones to see what changed. i'll give Cata the Honorable Mention for that.
as for Dragonflight like i said you being a lore guy you may not like it as much, as Blizzard was very experimental with it. lotta evergreen and QoL, but gameplay wise, flying on a Dragon that you can customize the looks of on a per character basis and no chores to complete, the Chains of Shadowlands are no longer present.@@WhyOhWhyPhi
I think dragonflight has been a great filler expansion, for what is has been. We needed some time away from all the awful shadowlands systems.
Time for metzen to join and make less shyamalan twists and more straight forward storytelling.
