As asmongold always says, WoW’s success is always just one banger cinematic away. And that right there boys, was a banger.
Yep see you next season when all tha apathy kicks in and majorit of players gonna quit.
Anyone else notice the Thrall steps in the sand, is Arthas walking the snow.
Then Thrall kneels down and touch the sand like Arthas kneel down and touch the snow.
You hear Anduins father "My son" like Arthas hears "My child"
Anduin stands up and draw his sword in a pointing stance like Arthas.
Then you see the sword in the planet, like the sword in the ice that was also aimed at someone.
Oh, I've forgot about the touching of ice by Arthas 🤦♂As I said at a previous video it is also similar to the Scourge ending cinematic in WC3 where Archimonde kneels down and touches the sand.
BTW The music is so much like the music in the new Dune movie. Anduin plus the setting also have a little bit of Star Wars Tatooine vibe for me.
And also, when Arthas died he said. "i see, only darkness for me". And Anduin says "i have no light." Is Anduin going to betray us? :D
I think we all picked up the curated Anduin vs Arthas vibes in SLs.
It’s absolutely brilliant writing, as it will make Arthas’ story all the more poignant. It’s well-timed, too, since WotLK Classic has been out for sufficient time for newbies to get onboard.
An karanhir thanagor!
@@ericmats4662 There is an obvious link between Arthas and Anduin, since Arthas corrupted, broken soul was used to dominate Anduin, so it is clearly made on purpose and as artistic choice to raise this question in the viewer, as it is also what is tormenting Anduin: as he said to Sylvanas, a part of him had felt joy about this power and violence, that's the real issue, not what he was forced to do, but the doubt about himself, if he failed to resists the domination in the first place, because he was weak... or worse.
He didn't really do much (likely because Zovaal wanted to keep Sylvanas in the shadow of his true plan to free mortals by getting rid of them and of course there was overall no need to much more anyway, it was all about getting the keys and his full power back) and in the end even mangaged to break free, what is far more than Arthas was ever able too or tried and that without such level of control (very likely that Light helped him there and that the images of his father and Saurfang were created by the light to remind Anduin who he really is and by that give him the will to break free).
But the fact that he had such feelings inside him, that's what haunts him. The fear that he could become such a danger again, that he could be corrupted, like so many others - including that other human prince, who had served the light...
But he shivers. When he raises his sword against Thrall, it's not in hate or rage, but in fear. And Thrall isn't confronting Anduin's blade with his body. He stabilizes it. He makes it and by that Andruin stop trembling, giving him hold..
He's doing what Uther and Jaina didn't do and scolding themselves for: he doesn't leave, doesn't let Anduin fall, what likely could indeed happen without that.
Anduin isn't Arthas, but you can be sure that Uther and Jaina think about it over and over again: if they could have saved him from falling, Uther likely even more, because he indeed not only failed to stop Arthas first fall but he LITERALLY let him fall a second time, where he had all the power and Arthas soul in his hand.
@@clogs4956 Sad enoug, no, many didn't pick that up. Sad as it is, but good writing is often too subtil for people, especially for those who are used to bad writing = characters just explain everything via exposition and even the antagonists just tells his whole plan.
That's why people also think that Zovaal was a bad antagonists. He was simply too realistic. He was exactly what a manipulator would be and he of course didn't tell people his plan or speak with those he does not care about. What was the main thing that made him the villain: he didn't care for mortals, he saw them as a waste of needed energy. That's the whole point of him. It simply would have made zero sense that he would talk to mortals all the time.
SL also managed to use the long WoW story to show how manipulation works. Many stories can't even do that well by their limited time alone. SL upgraded all the manipulation in WoW massily, because before SL the dread lords seems like stupid idiots who pretty much always fail with all what they are doing, since every time you see them, they of course kind of have to lose for the game to go on. To show, how they got this giant network running and how all these little plans weren't even that important, but just part of pushing everything furthe and further, step by step in their direction, that's exactly how it works.
People rant about "omg, everything was a plan of the Jailor". No, it wasn't. He simply hid in the back and pushed and pulled here and there, to get closer to his goal, little by little. And that wasn't ONE plan, but thousands of little things, here and there cummulating into bigger things, but in the end it was a giant war with thousand of little battles and it didn't matter how well the single battles worked out for him, as long as the overall war went in the wanted direction.
It was well done showing that - but most peopel don't understand it. What is by the way the same reason why so many people fall for real manipuation. They don't get it.
That look on Anduins face when he hears i trust you. Holy crap.
Dude what if azeroth cares to the point she doesnt want to be born cuz she doesnt want to destroy the life on azeroth and the titans want to force her to be born destroying the planet? daaannggg
hey thats actually a pretty good theory
The whole destroying all life when Azeroth is born is kind silly given that Argus being born didn't kill all life on Argus
@@epicbeing1565 if u look at argus its completely destroyed granted we are led to believe it was the fel but what if its because there is no world soul anymore supporting it like a world core.
@@epicbeing1565have you seen Argus, lately? Kinda broken and all the life is fel/demonic
@@TheArcaneBagel Yeah, as opposed to LITERALLY NOTHING.
Did anyone notice that Shalamayne core didn't glow ?
When Varian had it, Shalamayne's core was orange, when Anduin wielded it it was yellow, now it's nothing, like it's disabled or he's no longer worthy of it.
I think it represents how Anduin feels lightless, and perhaps represents a lack of identity after the ordeal he went through.
In the Legion cinematic where Anduin visits the place where Varian died, he finds Shalamayne in its non-powered state. Then he has a vision of his father and during that vision the sword gets a glow from Andiun's determination.
So I think Anduin just needs to find his worth, selfconfidence and determination again. Find himself, as it were.
It will be a glow of shadow. Anduin will use shadow because he lost the light.
I think Anduin, as Everyman, will master both Light and Shadow. Technically, he’s already mastered Life and Death. All that’s left is for him to bring Order and Disorder back into balance. Remember da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man? A bit like that, but with cabalistic intentions.
I also think there might be Naaru incoming…
anduin is wow this cinematic is so top
I feel like this is more talking about our feelings and togetherness, but with hype around it
With Anduin being so powerful with the light. I feel he there for also had to know what it's like to be with out it.
Dude, are you having a stroke? Should we call 911?
@@gilante_v No but you obviously have no life. If you have to Troll the way you are.
@@gilante_v probably ESL an meant "he, therefore"
Or that he refuses to wield the Light because he feels he's no longer worthy.
@@jameschristophercirujano6650 He CAN'T, because he lost faith.
Anduin looks like Jesse Pinkman from breaking bad after a bad binge.
Maybe it’s gonna be a new titan of the void so that they can finally tame it. If sargeras was a titan who fell because he went crazy then why not a titan of the void? Plus if you put all the new expats together you get “ A war within midnight, the last titan” maybe midnight is the name of a new titan representing the void to join the pantheon and can’t be born without azeroths help.
I was always interested in the lore of the game even tho i have no interest in playing it. The last few xpacs killed it and the lore theory channels. Glad to see it might be making a comeback!
Gotta love the "sigmas" in chat calling it soy shit, like veterans of war never face PTSD. Shows they have no idea what a real warrior actually looks like.
one hell of a cinematic!!!! LET"S GOO!!!!
Okay man good reaction video, well reserved and appreciated in a respectable way.
God damn streamers cannot do reaction videos without interrupting all of it with something stupid to say, smfh
You’re a proper reaction streamer, mature if you will, thank you man
Thanks for the great Reaction....👍👍👍👍👍....please give us more!!!!
Hype!!!!
Damn, after missing for 5 years since shadowlands, Anduin is like war weary PTSD survivor or something
I like Anduin's new look.
I find it funny the first thing I thought watching this is 'Oh Star Wars, that's totally something I could see Anakin saying. Wait they have the echo now, when did this become final fantasy?" not to undercut a cinematic that isn't bad on it's own but it really takes a lot directly from other things. Not that it is nessisarily a bad thing (wow very much did that from the start) but blizzard really does seem to be leaning into taking ideas from other things and putting it in their own work.
Imagine thinking ff did that first
@@OhNoTheFace It's another MMO so the same genre? Not to mention why the FF point and ignoring star wars? Do you just have a hate boner for FF or do you want to get pedantic about how almost everything is unoriginal listed? People aren't allowed to find something shares a LOT of similarity to popular media?
Not to mention the FF14 comparison is even more apt given the headache they get distracting them and the first thing said was "Hear" which happens in 14.
Hopefully with anduin back shit can get serious again
What if The War Within is about a war within the Pantheon or within The Alliance... or both
Gets you in the feels if you think about a ruin as blizzard and thrall is the player base.
Is he the voice of Thrall?
How did he get out of the maw?
Through the waygates that have been active for quite some time. Either near Ve'nari's Refuge or in Korthia. Take your pick.
@@ThomasHolbrookII was it seen in game though? I don’t remember seeing anything of him getting out
It's no problem anymore to get out of the Maw. It actually never was that impossible as the other death gods mad it look like. Zovaals biggest probelm was, that with so much power lost, the other death gods would just defeat him again. He had already lost once. Of course the anima drain his partner has caused weaked them and empowered him instead with the war Sylvanas had pushed to get the energy for the change of the Shadowlands she wanted to reach further enhancing it.
Chat must feel super edgy
Why?
@@TheAccolonn Idiots whining when it was not all war during the breakdown part
yeah. some of the comments i cant XD
classic players probably
Anduin's new look is great. However I still don't like the style of the Orcs in the cinematics. They should return to the orc style of Samwise. There shouldn't be human lips. Normally no double fangs. No human-like skull / shape of the head.
Is this a new expansion??
Yes the expansion where everyone just talks and talks and talks some more.
@@Uouttooo Imagine having a story in your RPG, thats so crazy.
@@Uouttooo Watch out, we have an edgy kid here
oof
Stephen Amell should sue Blizz for putting him in their game.
Just rename this video "Accolonn don't reacts to the War Within Cinematic" and it will be perfect
How do I not react to it when I literally react to it.
