Please Blizzard, we need an animated series that retells the story of Warcraft, starting from the First War. The fandom will love it!
Then on to Second War to Third War of the Arthas timeline.
Please only do it if the people making the series LOVE the source material. Do the story justice, not an "update" for "modern" audiences. We have seen what happens when they do that.
The day that happens, is the day HE stops protecting them
We need it now more than ever. And the franchise is turning 30.
WE WANT THE FULL STORY, FROM THE BEGINNING
Illidan watching this be like “She is now prepared”
You say he would ask her to follow him into the Abyss, problem is she stared into the Abyss, and didn't flinch.
From the Seat of the Pantheon, the one soilder of Azeroth that understands sacrifice, he too, if he new what his choices would cost him, would make the same choices
Said the same thing lol
That's why he produced this biopic.
what? when did he show up and say that? can you time stamp that
Very cool but man it's gotta be rough on Vereesa being the "normal" sister.
who knows what blizzard has in store for her
Rip ronan
None of these three are even borderline normal.
No doubt some darkness taking her like sylvannas . @@Sekire1
Yea and look what that got her: Barely having any relevance in the story. Her biggest role was in in Legion and _all_ the important elves according to lore were relevant in Legion.
Sylvanas -
Alleria -
Vereesa, please stop "protecting the family"
But their family was sworn to protect it.
So they got you beat there.
Ewe need to stop rejecting it and come home
5:05 Arator's face being half in the light and half in the shadow is really chef's kiss, blizzard. Bravo
good spotting
Got your IP shill lover. Any last words
Please. PLEASE. Give us an animated series
This
This x2
Netflix and HBO have talked to Blizzard about making series out of the Warcraft stories. Could happen.
This x3
This x4
Turalyon weeping over no longer being able to embrace the woman he loves hit me hard
In the shadowlands novel they can touch now. Only when she isn’t in her void form.
@@aerydk So you're saying they have to use protection?
@@zeroner777 Shadow magic resistance potion!
@@zeroner777 George Takei: "Ooh mmmy!"
@@Manson1990 GSPP
this went unfathomably hard
this is generic corporate entertainment slop. The hardest it will get is day-old yoghurt.
@@umngyr cope.
@@umngyr Better than everything they've put out since the cinematics in BFA
@@umngyr go back to ff14, none cares about you and none ever will
@@umngyr Man get some air
Oh thank god, the new writers actually understand who Sylvanas is.
Sylvanas did nothing wrong
Jeez that void part REALLY makes the audio drama come to life; for those who listened to it. That's insane
Blizzard, if there are any smart people left in the company, turn this into an animated series.
After the success of Arcane and Edgerunners it seems ridiculous that warcraft hasn't announced any plans. But bring back Joey Ray Hall for oversight.
@@karlbrown9112 What about Studio Powerhouse, the one behind Castlevania animated series?
It is needed now more than ever.
If there are*
Since you ask so nicely. No. - Blizzard probably
She's going the Illidan route
the BASED route, if ideals lead you to complete ruin, what good where the ideals?
@@keithfilibeck2390 This is complete nonsense.
@@keithfilibeck2390perhaps they do perhaps you die or worse but if you die knowing the people you care about are safe will that not fill you with joy even when you are about to die.
She's too strong and independent for that
@@keithfilibeck2390 ideals meaning loved ones like your siblings, children and mate? 😭
Thousands of Shadow Priests saving the world throughout many years and no one bats an eye. Alleria does something similar and everyone loses their minds.
@@tworadon Alleria became the Legendary Super Void Elf.
Too bad there isn't a void based hunter.
What about warlocks?
Did they?
that's not canon.
Blizzard needs to start animating this fantastic universe, imagine the possibilities, with the story of wow you can release 10 or more seasons, animated in 12 chapters or 8. The public would love to see this universe being open to all kinds of audiences.
Might draw people to the game aswell
Poor Alleria. She lost her family, she lost the chance to see her son grow up, she metaphorically lost Turalyon, she lost the light.
And now she lost her drip.
Rip to the drip 😢
and everything was her fault.
She chose to left behind, she didn't lost it.
yo that new drip tho
? She actually has drip now
Now we know why she looks so different. Her first Breakup…
Her rebound outfit
Gym sis
Theyre still married.
@@kaelmic7476 but not sleeping together 🤣🤣
fr. breakup armor with glam makeup.
The animation is amazing
Showing silvermoon in its full glory is just amazing
Alleria dawning her new armor
Elves fighting orcs and trolls
Everything about it is just beautiful to watch.
And Alleria went Legendary Super Void Elf to save Turalyon.
how is that full glory ? it was even more empty than in the game itself
The orcs and trolls look interesting here imo.
It was Quel'Talas, but yeah
Paid actor
Those classic Warcraft 2 Troll axethrowers! "Say hello to my little friend!"
The castlevania-Style is just on point *chefkiss*
Vengeance for Zul'jin
We need an animated series like this.
no we dont
@@amvlabs5339 preach. Hate this anime garbage.
@@AlanMaxey Womp womp
@@AlanMaxey Your reply has been noted and filed into the proper recepticle.
Yes we do. Something that will make warcraft amazing.
This is beautiful. An animated series, 1 season per expansion, would be amazing. One of the main issues with new players right now is that the story is so convoluted in-game, and there isn't any good canonical material that people can easily consume to experience everything that has happened so far.
For real! Imagine if, in conjunction with each new expansion, they also worked on an animated series that was released in step with content or something. What an undertaking but if they pulled it off it would be epic.
consoom
You do realize that would only be every other year
Going through each of the characters one faction lore to the next.
100% this is what the game needs,
Yep, that was sick. That felt like warcraft!
Of course, it's the ilidans history retold...
@@alarydavidnin There was no love triangle though. Just Alleria and Turalyon. Unless you count their son Arator they loved and had to leave him behind.
Because it has Orcs in it
Good old warcraft 2 vibes.
@@alarydavidnin ehhhh not really lol.
Thats it Blizz. We need more stories like this. Show, dont tell guys. You got some gifted people working for you. Just give them the freedom and the resources to go all out
So.......... We're not gonna talk about how Turalyon LOVES Alleria unconditionally and yet she always acts like he hates her??
Dramalleria queen bro, jk.
It's not that she thinks he hates her, but he openly rejects the path she's chosen and she acknowledges that rejection.
Women🤷🏻♂️🌚
@@meganjohnstone3458 Not to mention, the void isn't exactly known for keeping people clear headed
@@meganjohnstone3458. It he really hasn’t rejected her path. He is shown to really try and accept it
Windrunner sisters forever
well this was his initial reaction, he toned down his stance later, its more that she thinks he doesn't love her for it.
@@keithfilibeck2390 Plus the Void and Light repels the two apart when they touch.
Vereesa is still the best sister imo..
anyone else miss Rhonin?
they were amazing the the books, but used very little in game.
Sounds like my Holy Priest busting them Holy Fires on peoples' heads while throwing Shadow Word: Pain on everyone.
retcon to make her cool even though we all know this is an Illidan rehash
Less than two minutes in and it's already more darker and Warcraft-y then anything we've gotten over the last two years
the last two decades*
And there already was timelinewise impossible scenes and bad retcons that it isn't even funny.
@@Teheleri The Lich King and Wrath Gate were pretty dang dark, mate...
@@Gebirges The books are pretty dark. Especially Illidan and Lord of the clans
Shallow darkness.
Tell me Chris Metzen is back without actually telling me.
Hearing the exact same story for the 89th time does have its **je ne sais quoi**
@@ham.strings Surprised he is not making more of Green Jesus Thrall.
@@ham.strings Do not change, what is not broken.
@@TheTimsx It's braindead boring what are you talking about 😂
@@ham.strings You do know Alleria's origin story was from the Second War, long before Nerzhul got turned into Lich King right?
The spider queen, Alleria, Xalatath... where are my big muscle dudes... give me the feels of wod and legion cinematics
We've had decades of that. I'm OK with this balance restoration.
@@scw55 right? whining for what?
Nah, muscle mommy ftw
@@moch.farisdzulfiqar6123 ah fair
What's up with this video? It ends after 5:24..? Where's the rest? 😭😭😭
Love this video, especially the great voice over by Alleria and Sylvanas.
this is what makes WARcraft what it is
anime?
@@azzymasterus8616 hot elfs
@@azzymasterus8616 Castlevania animated series, the one with Trevor Belmont.
@@azzymasterus8616 This isn't anime lol
Sylvanas?
WHERE HAS THIS WARCRAFT BEEN?!?!?!?
its always been here? do you not remember harbingers? the ones about the orc war chiefs?
@@soulcleave2386 Yeh but those were 10 years ago now
The orc ones anyway
@@digs1304 10 years ago, that hit hard
Been ever since arthas did nothing
Finally something that looks like Warcraft hope to see more of this
Where's my power of friendship : ( ( ( ( ( (
The coloured hairs are malding
@@Frawt Bruh. Have you listened to the text in any way?
@@Frawt Only you, buddy.
@@Frawt brother they literally made her to be girlboss because the man cant keep up and split the couple. this is exactly what the colored hairs like to see
@@betelgeux6010 Isn't because Alleria's void power literally repels Turalyon whose power is the Light?
Easily the best piece of media work that the franchise has seen since Old Soldier in my opinion.
Absolutely amazing and brilliant piece of work right here. Well done Blizzard!
Scenes from the original Horde war, who would have thought
Second war
@@ub3rfr3nzy94 Yea that runestone from act3 mission 1 of orcs
This isn't the original one...
it's all they have left, nostalgia, they can make nothing new
@@amvlabs5339 Just like Final Fantasy in your profile pic? Just asking.
Yessss!!!! This is perfect! The animation style, the story -- God, you guys are cooking this expansion!!!
cooking what? rice?
@@marz_mitzi you are here for crying?
@@marz_mitzi Metaphor.
Cooking phrase means the animators went crazy with the fight scenes straight outta Castlevania animated show.
@@marz_mitzi cry more classic andy
Already turning out to be the best expansion so far.
YES! YES! YES! More of this PLEASE!! We need an entire anime series with the Warcraft setting. Please BLIZZARD!!! This was SOOO GOOD!!!
Love the Windrunner sisters story. Sylvanas, my queen!
I'm having an episode of TreeTSD
TREESD😂😂😂
4:07 Guess that means no more cuddling time between Alleria and Turalyon anymore.
It only happens when she's in void form, they are fine. 😁
Best from War Within till now! Felt like real warcraft again, nice.
WoD cinematic still goat.
@@Soulessdeeds Warlords of Draenor?
@@TheWarmachine375yes
Probably because it contained nothing new since legion
@@Danjerous781 Cool
not gonna lie... this short paired with that "get back in the fight" message reallllly gets me where it counts XD
Metzin is back, Lets hope He can save the series!
the animation when she went void mode was frickin fantastic
windrunner family is kind of cursed 😅...still is kind of interesting to see her son will react to an entire kingdom of beings just like him
This kind of epicness only happens when you fully embrace your inner Metzen.
More of this!!!
Alleria misses the part where the elfes came to this land, called holy by the trolls and stole it.
American lore.
And the whole reason the Amani trolls allied with the Old Horde was to reclaim their stolen lands.
So? They're trolls, they shrink heads and worship sticks with faces carved into them. They deserved far worse then what they got.
Illidan and Alleria, two of the characters who know what sacrifice is.
Alleria, Ranger-General that never was.
Alleria, Veressa & Sylvanas 💚💙❤️
This had no business being this good. Awesome job Blizz
Blizzard, after showing us this. You have to make an animated Warcraft series. This looks amazing.
Man I'm so glad Metzin is back, this would never have been this good without His direction.
it's not that good... it's an illidan rehash... but "you are not prepared" for that conversation
@@kingnothing007War never changes.
@@kingnothing007 All art is inspired from something else, how it's delivered is still great.
"The light will abandon you, just like it did to me"
Illidari:I sacrificed everyting,what have you given!!Alleria same she knows war and have no fear.
Xalatath next please!!!
Sylvanas coming back for sure if not in War within in Midnight expansion for sure....
Nah hopefully she is rotting in the Maw, they used her for more than enough in lore
please no
Yes!
When I've played through the prologue questline with my Paladin and we landed on Argus, my legion companion joined---
It was Arathor.
Everyone else: *Talking about Alleria and how cool the animation is*
Me: Sylvanas sounds younger... Nice.
Oh my God this is sooooo good! More Warcraft animated series please!
1:14 very well done
Wow I'm a wow lore newbie but that actually moved me. More of this Bliz
absolute shivers in the scene where alleria embraced the void
3:30 was pretty dam cool
THIS GAVE US GOOSEBUMPS!! omg we are eating SO good, the warcraft team is doing amazing 😭💕
That is peak animation and epicness right there, please more of those, pleaseee!
Illidan and the Illidari sacrificed everything, not you.
0:25 Silvermoon theme 😍😍
The Amount of Traction this video is getting is insane! Amazing video Blizzard! MORE PLEASE !!!
MORE OF THIS, WE LIKE IT!
Windrunner Sisters! Leeeeeets goooo!
This was awesome
3:39 gives me Gojo in the subway during his domain vibes
Animated show would bring so many new players into the game who dont know about the lore and think its just some rpg. WoW has so deep and insane lore it would bring some people who have thougt differently about the game would change their mind
Can we please get an animated series soon? This looks amazing
Keeping up with the Windrunners: Season 10
Best part? Where Sylvanas is on.
The new Hammer and Bolter episode looks sick.
So did the 4th Armageddon War with Eldari fighting for Imperium
I'm amazed how good this was. It really makes me want more fast paced lore entries like this.
the retcon is real
Windrunner sisters destroying their lifes left and right.
Illidan would be proud. She is prepared.
So basically illidan 2.0 and the spider people is arthas 2.0... so original so inspiring...
brave and stunning
Just nice. Develop characters is good. Thank you for this.
This was perfect, the music the dialogue
Thank you Blizzard
Uffff it is so good to see this. Blizzard come on... WTH are you waiting for. Jesus, this is ART!
WE NEED THE ANIMATED SERIES ASAP.
It needs to be announced in November.
Holy... this is soooo good! Alleria truly is the best Windrunner.
The animation is WILD!
Super Awesome!!! War Within Hype Train!
Well THAT was one of the coolest things I've ever seen
Fav game + 80s fantasy animations style + epic soundtrack = formula for the best game animated series
Blizzard, please!!
You need to make an animated show...
Blizzard really needs to make an animated series like Critical Role now has, showcasing everything in the lore. Would also be great for new players who don't know much of the lore.
This made me more excited than the official cinematic.
Soilders of Azeroth!! Drums of War are calling!!!!
Goosebumps from 1:48
unironically good stuff from Warcraft in 2024? AYO
WoW has been doing pretty good since about season 3 of Shadowlands.
@@eodyn7 certainly not the lore
The art style needs to lean more into the 80s dark fantasy if they do this again but it's in the right direction.
This does remind me of the Illidan animation they did before the release of Legion. Where the Illidari would sacrifice everything for Azeroth.
This is awesome. We need an animated series.
Great job with portraying Alleria! now we just need an animated series!
This is the world of warcraft we wanted
