@@bovverification I feel like we would've gotten a Varian-esque shot if that was the case, seeing his face as he got deleted. But this cinematic didn't read like the death of a character as important as Khadgar...
I think rather void sends anyone to... void of infinite suffering and madness or something like that. So Khadgar will not have a pleasant afterlife... if he died.
khadgars so willy he probably will come back with some cool magic robot arm and pull off vibes or that scene from invader zim where dibs dad shoots all the robots with his laser robot arms.
Its not just the villains, its everyone. I actually think Xal is one of the faster talkers. Meanwhile Khadgar dying of old age while saying something vaguely badass.
Noticed how after she teleports the power core with the void bubble, the city starts to fall. This is because the power core, or the center of the city is where the majority of the lay lines converged to, and when they moved it into the sky, they built a sort of battery to absorb all of those energies to keep the city afloat. She stole this battery, or power core along with Khadgar because only he knows how to control it. Xal is trying to build a mana bomb, but instead with a small mana core, it'll have the Dalaran Power Core at its center and the dark heart supplying it's fuse. She's going to blow something massive up, I think it's the Titans. Why do you think we went to MoP in remix prior to this expansion? Blizzard is trying to foreshadow something and get it in the front of our minds.

This is what shold've happened in Legion though, I mean they teleported Dalaran right to the center of Demon power after bewing overwhelmed by like 3 ships at Karazhan.

I think it's a limitation of teleportation magic. You can only really open a portal big enough for one or two people at a time and it takes a lot of effort to keep that maintained for a long period of time.

Funny how Blizzard turns SS Tier Heroes into wimpy jobbers everytime the plot requires it. Vol'jin, Saurfang, Bolvar, Alextrazsa and now Khadgar. Often they don't land a single hit before falling to their knees.

I genuinely teared up when Dalaran blew up. Even when general chat spoiled it, it still hit hard when I saw the cinematic myself. All those years spent there… And chat spoiling it made it worse. Going around helping the folks knowing about the impending doom.. it just adds to that sense of dread.
I don’t think he is dead, tell we have it confirmed by the game, or see his body he is dead he isn’t. He didn’t have a death line Tirion, Vol’jin, or Varian. It just looked like he was being pulled in.
Big ball of purple also took Xal'atath, so I figure it's a teleport spell not a disintegration effect. There's a plausible way out if the writers want an exit instead of killing him with finality.
Honestly this would be even worse then letting him die right now and big injustice to his character to degrade him to a status of some corrupted raid boss. Khadgar is the OG character, as he was here since Wacraft 1. Even this cinematic looks like a cheap end for such a long-lasting and popular character, which is why I hope, it is not the end of him..
I think khadgar should've been much more powerful given how he is in lore, this made him look so stupid. And the villain should've had more buildup, she just appear. I guess it builds the mystery of how she is so powerful, but i think this pales in comparison to the buildup warcraft3 destruction of dalaran had. (Knowing the quest context as well, it's a sudden assault and she just shows up) (Characters talking about the legion making you wonder what it's going to happen, then they speak of conquering the city, they make a ritual and after much effort the legion lord Is summoned and you get to view their power for the first time). I don't want to be negative for the sake of it, i hate seeing negativity, but i think this could've been much better of an intro, and it feels like shock value because they needed to have it, without any care about making it a meaningful event. There's not even (meaningful) dialogue, it could've been much better :( (i feel like this wasted dalaran, and khadgar) - EDIT: I just watched the dalaran teleport cutscene and it was so good. It makes us expect her appearence, and expect her to be strong. But peraphs she did not need to be here yet. I just wish dalaran destruction was handled in a better way, you don't need to explode a city randomly to show that she's powerful, archimonde himself needed summoning+ a ritual for it. I think it should've been a bigger deal that a 10s segment in a cutscene. In general i warmed up to the expansion (from the quests/cutscenes), the theme seem to be done well, and other xal'atath appearences are MUCH better.
@@mrmister5609 In this context, in this quest, she just appear. We know Little of the "new" her, it's pretty much the first time. I don't think having a character being in jail and then coming to just randomly destroy a city is that compelling. I don't feel bad for dalaran, i don't feel anything about her appearence, i think the good guys aren't doing anything meaningful or trying, i just leave saying "oh ok". (I know she's been there and it was kinda hinted she was strong, but there's a difference between kinda hinted and archimonde++++ level strong. It just needed a bit of buildup for the event to be good, like they did with so many other times when the new power-level was sudden) I'm evaluating the event as a whole in the story, this is nothing when compared to even bfa undercity scenario. The scene does nothing apart from saying "the villain is strong, dalaran is gone". Then again, i liked the zones story, i liked her in the cutscene with the spider queen, i'll like her in the future, but here i don't think the event is well executed.
To be fair, using magic takes quite a lot of effort for a Mage, and Khadgar basically used the Mage version of a particle cannon on Xal'atath. He was probably exhausted after that, using what mana he had left to ensure that Alleria, one of his old friends and comrades-in-arms, could get out. I do admit, I wish he did get to at least punch Xal in the throat, but I'll accept this as canon.
I really appreciate this! My cinematic glitched out then shut down in-game today... probably due to lag caused by so many people playing on the same server/realm. The game's now running smoothly; however, obviously, I didn't get the chance to rewatch this pivotal moment in Dalaran history. My archmage was dying along with Kadgar ~ she just viewed the destruction of her second home and the death of the man that helped her become the archmage she is today. Thank the WOW Gods she can rez! :')
Maybe khagdar used alter time and he is safe, the spell return after 10 seconds to the activation location and then he used slow fall and invisibility.
After all those years Dalaran was destroyed once again. But I don't suppose we will be able to rebuilt it. I can say one thing: Xal'atath will suffer for what she's done with Khadgar!😡
Bro.... Khadgar better not be dead. If they killed him like this, its worse than Bovlar vs Sylvanas. Just one attack, and he's OOM and then disenchanted?
The strongest mage on Azeroth armed with Atiesh and not a single scratch with an attack that left him breathless... I hope that there's a good excuse for that happening in game
@@moisesgabrielriostorres1368I love when Vereesa has this plot armor in the sense she was never where danger is. In Warcraft 3, she was neither in Quel'Thalas nor in Dalaran.
No... Khadgar.. Dalaran..:( i'm not playing anymore and not planning to, but It was painful to watch. He was the best and the last lore character i was still care about. Rest in peace, Khadgar, thank you for everything.. :(
He's not dead. Either in the Void or if he's in the Shadowlands he bumps into you know who informs her of the situation and out she comes to nuke everything in sight. Redemption arc complete.
finaly now that khadgar is dead there is a chance for players to get atiesh again. my gues it that with the explosion its been splintered like it was in original vanilla and players will one day be able to collect the splinters and fix the staff
Oh, piss off. Atiesh got destroyed with just a bit of blue pew pew magic, when it got used by Aegwynn to defeat the Avatar of Sargeras. Is Xal'atath just Sylvanas 2.0? Does she get empowered by the big baddie who will somehow mention that he manipulated her and even the Jailer? Will he be even balder?
Why Khadgar, he was from the beginning of Warcraft Lore, this is SAD AF it would have been different if Khadgar had the power of Medivh? A truely power of a guardian?
Maybe, but right now this is possibly the best interpretation that we have since the third death of Dalaran bring the new war against the Void. Which is the ennemy of this Saga.
Not gonna lie, but Khadgar's death has a lesser impact compared to Varian's death by Gul'dan in Legion. Perhaps it's because WoW players have spent more time and interacting with Varian compared to Khadgar.
1:14 Dang it.. Not again with Atiesh. Ok.. Who wants to go and find those pieces again? Also this should've been called the "'Literal' Fall of Dalaran"
I don't think he's 'truly' gone, in other instances of major character death say Varian or Tirion, we've seen them physically annihilated by either Gul'dan or the Legion creature. We only saw his arm being well disintegrated/thanos snapped. I think it was implied that it seems like Khadgar died with the destruction of Dalaran but was teleported away elsewhere. Or it could all just be copium, who knows?
I have a feeling since Xal is basically absorbing all of Dalaran's magic into the Dark Heart, and Kadgar still had some magic left in him since he teleported Alleria away, maybe he did survive, but just his powers being absorbed into the Dark Heart. Also, feel free to correct me if my theory is wrong, I've only played WoW since either WoD, Legion, or Bfa.
Time to collect the staff's splinters again. Dammit.
Can’t believe she smashed Atiesh, does she not respect how much we grinded?!
The rarity
smashed it, then vaporized it along with the rest of Dalaran. I don't think It could even be repaired at this point.

To make a point and to deprive the Kirin Tor and their allies of their capital city.

Funny how Blizzard turns SS Tier Heroes into wimpy jobbers everytime the plot requires it. Vol'jin, Saurfang, Bolvar, Alextrazsa and now Khadgar. Often they don't land a single hit before falling to their knees.
This is like the third time Dalaran has been destroyed. I wonder how the rebuilt Dalaran will look like.
the road to hell is paved with good intentions. fur reel destroying dalaran and khadgar and the staff of medivh. to set up another elf to be the big boss mommy. ya know what else did something similar, with killing off voljin to set up sylvanas. and then she went on to burn teldrassil... just saying its so on the nose simialr that i worry 😾
Yeah when you reduce a story to such degree, everything will seem similar
@@Havrank i wouldnt call it a reduction im open to it working but its also blizzard so i dont trust em to mess it up again. five bucks alleria either becomes a big bad or we fight a corrupted version of her and seperate her from the void in a reversal way of how we attached sylvanas to her good side 😾
well the expansion that happened in is widely accepted to be one of the best ones of all time?? so even if you wanna be pessimistic and reductionist about it, this is more legion 2.0 than bfa 2.0 lol
@@aceynator people are factually wrong with legion being a good expansion. there was nothing good about a expansion where rando leggos could make ur class, where 1 trinket was bis all expansion but it was a pain to get and where to do good u had to farm mos 100000000000000 times. let alone the expansion of mplus which was just blizz way of just reusing the same dungeon but adding like a percentage and little mechanic buff that gets figured out after a few tries and isnt challanging once u over gear and get to the point of doing the lv that will just guarantee u good weekly loot. let alone how they made frostmourne a frost dual weidl weapon when that should of been the unholy weapon being the literal iconic deathknight sword of the lich king himself. meaning u would need a more unholy necromancer type dk to fully utilize its power. 😾
As franklin would say - aww here we go again
I genuinely teared up when Dalaran blew up. Even when general chat spoiled it, it still hit hard when I saw the cinematic myself. All those years spent there…
And chat spoiling it made it worse. Going around helping the folks knowing about the impending doom.. it just adds to that sense of dread.
RIP Khadgar. Forever Chadgar!
I don’t think he is dead, tell we have it confirmed by the game, or see his body he is dead he isn’t. He didn’t have a death line Tirion, Vol’jin, or Varian. It just looked like he was being pulled in.
Big ball of purple also took Xal'atath, so I figure it's a teleport spell not a disintegration effect. There's a plausible way out if the writers want an exit instead of killing him with finality.
Yeah Khadgar is definitely in a pocket realm. He’s gonna be #damaged just like Anduin after this
Well N'zoth was right. Only he could save our world.
Calling it now - they will bring back Khadgar as a raid boss later on - might say he was "teleported and corrupted, etc.".
But he is teleported lol
Honestly this would be even worse then letting him die right now and big injustice to his character to degrade him to a status of some corrupted raid boss. Khadgar is the OG character, as he was here since Wacraft 1. Even this cinematic looks like a cheap end for such a long-lasting and popular character, which is why I hope, it is not the end of him..
My dad works for Blizzard and he said Khadgar got turned into an ethereal and he'll return later
I think khadgar should've been much more powerful given how he is in lore, this made him look so stupid. And the villain should've had more buildup, she just appear.
I guess it builds the mystery of how she is so powerful, but i think this pales in comparison to the buildup warcraft3 destruction of dalaran had.
(Knowing the quest context as well, it's a sudden assault and she just shows up)
(Characters talking about the legion making you wonder what it's going to happen, then they speak of conquering the city, they make a ritual and after much effort the legion lord Is summoned and you get to view their power for the first time).
I don't want to be negative for the sake of it, i hate seeing negativity, but i think this could've been much better of an intro, and it feels like shock value because they needed to have it, without any care about making it a meaningful event.
There's not even (meaningful) dialogue, it could've been much better :( (i feel like this wasted dalaran, and khadgar)

EDIT: I just watched the dalaran teleport cutscene and it was so good. It makes us expect her appearence, and expect her to be strong. But peraphs she did not need to be here yet. I just wish dalaran destruction was handled in a better way, you don't need to explode a city randomly to show that she's powerful, archimonde himself needed summoning+ a ritual for it. I think it should've been a bigger deal that a 10s segment in a cutscene.
In general i warmed up to the expansion (from the quests/cutscenes), the theme seem to be done well, and other xal'atath appearences are MUCH better.
the villain was build up for 8 years, what do you mean she just appeared?
The villain did not just appear? She has been in the game since Legion?
@@mrmister5609 In this context, in this quest, she just appear. We know Little of the "new" her, it's pretty much the first time.
I don't think having a character being in jail and then coming to just randomly destroy a city is that compelling. I don't feel bad for dalaran, i don't feel anything about her appearence, i think the good guys aren't doing anything meaningful or trying, i just leave saying "oh ok".
(I know she's been there and it was kinda hinted she was strong, but there's a difference between kinda hinted and archimonde++++ level strong. It just needed a bit of buildup for the event to be good, like they did with so many other times when the new power-level was sudden)
I'm evaluating the event as a whole in the story, this is nothing when compared to even bfa undercity scenario.
The scene does nothing apart from saying "the villain is strong, dalaran is gone".
Then again, i liked the zones story, i liked her in the cutscene with the spider queen, i'll like her in the future, but here i don't think the event is well executed.
@@mrmister5609 She was not built up for 8 years stop this nonsense.
To be fair, using magic takes quite a lot of effort for a Mage, and Khadgar basically used the Mage version of a particle cannon on Xal'atath. He was probably exhausted after that, using what mana he had left to ensure that Alleria, one of his old friends and comrades-in-arms, could get out. I do admit, I wish he did get to at least punch Xal in the throat, but I'll accept this as canon.
Not fair we need Dadgar :( ok I need him he's my favorite character
Me too!
Thanks for the spoiler title goddamnit. I'm not even subbed and this shows up in my feed.
I really appreciate this! My cinematic glitched out then shut down in-game today... probably due to lag caused by so many people playing on the same server/realm. The game's now running smoothly; however, obviously, I didn't get the chance to rewatch this pivotal moment in Dalaran history. My archmage was dying along with Kadgar ~ she just viewed the destruction of her second home and the death of the man that helped her become the archmage she is today. Thank the WOW Gods she can rez! :')
Maybe khagdar used alter time and he is safe, the spell return after 10 seconds to the activation location and then he used slow fall and invisibility.
Omg r I p my mage we will miss you !!!
Where is Lord Khadgar, the Archmage who destroyed the Dark Portal with powerful magic in Warcraft 2?
1) He's become older since then. 2) OOM)
No Book of Medivh to save him now.
2:11 They’ve been watching too much DB Super because Khadgar got full on Hakai’d there 😂
After all those years Dalaran was destroyed once again. But I don't suppose we will be able to rebuilt it.
I can say one thing: Xal'atath will suffer for what she's done with Khadgar!😡
Bro.... Khadgar better not be dead. If they killed him like this, its worse than Bovlar vs Sylvanas. Just one attack, and he's OOM and then disenchanted?
oh man, i liked dalaran, why couldnt she blow up stormwind instead?
Khadgar's "fly you fools" moment
o7
I'm leaning towards him still being alive, and Dalaran will eventually rebuild (again), but they just broke Atiesh (also again).
She put Khadgar and Dalaran in the Dark Hearth, calling it.
This evening was already dark for me, and now/then they kill Khadgar...
Lol, I love how incompetent they made Khadgar look. Some Guardian... basically walked in took a dump and got sleepy.
KHADGAR DESERVE REALLY CINEMATIC!!!!!
A cgi at last, for one of the ancient characters of Warcraft
The strongest mage on Azeroth armed with Atiesh and not a single scratch with an attack that left him breathless... I hope that there's a good excuse for that happening in game
The excuse is shitty Blizz writing as usual.
Khadgar lost because he didn't have enough wyrm crests to upgrade atiesh.
What about Veressa ? Isnt she living in dalaran?
No. She moved away from Dalaran a few years prior, and Alleria can visit her in her new place.
Ah, thanks for clearing things up@@moisesgabrielriostorres1368
@@moisesgabrielriostorres1368I love when Vereesa has this plot armor in the sense she was never where danger is.
In Warcraft 3, she was neither in Quel'Thalas nor in Dalaran.
@@moisesgabrielriostorres1368 Yeah, for anyone wondering I think the dialogue mentioned is during the Hallowfall questline.
No... Khadgar.. Dalaran..:( i'm not playing anymore and not planning to, but It was painful to watch. He was the best and the last lore character i was still care about. Rest in peace, Khadgar, thank you for everything.. :(
He's not dead. Either in the Void or if he's in the Shadowlands he bumps into you know who
informs her of the situation and out she comes to nuke everything in sight. Redemption arc complete.
Lame
Khadgar deserved better
Maybe Khadgar will join Medivh as a ghost in Karazhan
Maybe put a spoiler tag considering the game isn't even out yet for the non whales lol
1:57
Look, here me out bros...
finaly now that khadgar is dead there is a chance for players to get atiesh again. my gues it that with the explosion its been splintered like it was in original vanilla and players will one day be able to collect the splinters and fix the staff
It's a bit more than splintered, it was basically vaporized, you are gonna need a microscope.
@@noshotz5955 as powerfull the staff is it probably protected itself wity its magic. Like it was the first time it was splitered
Oh, piss off. Atiesh got destroyed with just a bit of blue pew pew magic, when it got used by Aegwynn to defeat the Avatar of Sargeras.
Is Xal'atath just Sylvanas 2.0? Does she get empowered by the big baddie who will somehow mention that he manipulated her and even the Jailer? Will he be even balder?
Why Khadgar, he was from the beginning of Warcraft Lore, this is SAD AF
it would have been different if Khadgar had the power of Medivh? A truely power of a guardian?
Dalaran was destroyed by the Legion, by Arthas and the Scourge and now this.
Remember:
"At the hour of her third death, she will usher in our coming"
So many ways to interpret that
Maybe, but right now this is possibly the best interpretation that we have since the third death of Dalaran bring the new war against the Void. Which is the ennemy of this Saga.
Soy levels only around 44% in this cinematic. It's going in the right direction, keep it up Metzen!
It really broked my hearth to see Atiesh being broken. All that Legacy: Medivh, then Khagdar for all this years...
Waiting for Medivh to come in from deep space to one tap Xal'atath for hurting Khadgar and breaking Atiesh
Chill we still have second Dalaran from wotlk this was just Legion Dala 😄😉
I guess khadgar got the varian treatment but with void instead of fel, poof up like smoke 😮💀
I reckon Dalaran is a futute raid instance, or dungeon maybe
Okay, for some reason this cartoonish goofy artstyle works great with tense drama cutscenes
MEH, Dalaran's seen worse, we can rebuild
Not gonna lie, but Khadgar's death has a lesser impact compared to Varian's death by Gul'dan in Legion. Perhaps it's because WoW players have spent more time and interacting with Varian compared to Khadgar.
It had less impact because he is not dead.
Well, they didn't exactly show his death, only his hand, sooo, i bet he is still alive
At first, Khadgar couldn't even scratch this pointy-eared creature, and then 25 homeless kick it to death.
1:14 Dang it.. Not again with Atiesh. Ok.. Who wants to go and find those pieces again?
Also this should've been called the "'Literal' Fall of Dalaran"
I don't think he's 'truly' gone, in other instances of major character death say Varian or Tirion, we've seen them physically annihilated by either Gul'dan or the Legion creature.
We only saw his arm being well disintegrated/thanos snapped.
I think it was implied that it seems like Khadgar died with the destruction of Dalaran but was teleported away elsewhere.
Or it could all just be copium, who knows?
There better be a New Dalaran in the future 😤
Khadgar in the Warcraft movie fended off Medivh's attack with a magic shield, however, he didn't do that against Xal'atath??
I have a feeling since Xal is basically absorbing all of Dalaran's magic into the Dark Heart, and Kadgar still had some magic left in him since he teleported Alleria away, maybe he did survive, but just his powers being absorbed into the Dark Heart.
Also, feel free to correct me if my theory is wrong, I've only played WoW since either WoD, Legion, or Bfa.
