So Tyrael was originally "Justice", but at the end of D3, assumed the role of "Wisdom" which used to be filled by Malthael, who vanished shortly before the events of D3. Malthael kind of went a little crazy and changed from "Wisdom" do "Death" and decided that he wanted to kill all traces of Demons, which included humans, since they are technically half demon. He wanted to used the Black Soul Stone to strip the souls of humans into the Soul Stone (killing them). When Malthael picks up Tyrael, and starts... pulling his soul from his body, and inspects it, and it shows to be pure, with no demonic traces, since, Tyrael is mortal, but not really human like regular humans, who are all part angel and demon. Because Tyrael is still pure, Malthael had no beef with Tyrael, beyond being in his way.
@@slider954 Nah, Malthael disappeared leaving both the Angiris Council and the Heavens prior to the events of D3, including Tyraels angelic renouncement and becoming mortal If you watch closely when Malthael first enters the room and Tyrael identifies him, Malthael tilts his head to the side very slowly appearing confused that he has been identified The moment Malthael realizes who Tyrael is is when he's inspecting his essence/soul. After Tyrael says "Brother, why?" you'll see Malthael look from his sickle back to Tyrael very quickly the moment he realizes. Once he knows, he briefly leans in staring (perhaps in pity?) and decides to put him down within 2-3 seconds Additionally now Malthael has identified Tyrael, it's most likely the only reason we get a response to Tyraels threat (The Nephalem will stop you) NO ONE CAN STOP DEATH EDIT: Btw, Malthael is identifiable by his gaunt figure and his black robes and armor, regardless of aspect. As wisdom, his wings were bright and purple. As death, they become white and wispy. Just to answer how Tyrael identified him in case you were wondering
Malthiel is a perfect example of how a positive aspect of the universe becomes negative when pushed to an absolute. Tyrael, being both Justice and Wisdom, understands that. Malthiel, despite being the aspect of Wisdom, somehow never knew that.
@@robgraham5697 It's not quite that. It's more of a generalism with the angels that we see with Imperius also. They are so set in their ways that they are incapable of changing. The irony is that Malthiel could easily have restrained his malice to the Burning Hells and finally ended the Eternal Conflict with the Black Soulstone.
Additionally, it has to be said, that Malthael thought this was the only way to end the eternal war and the threat of the soulstone. That is important to know, why he turned aspect of death and why Eldruin (Tyraels Blade) wasn't able to harm Malthael. Because he was right in his believe.
Yea, it really adds depth to the scene when you know that all the Prime Evils and Lesser Evils are more or less constantly at each others throats, vying for power and control over the Burning Hells.
To recap, the names of the lords of hell are Mephisto-Lord of Hatred Baal-Lord of Destruction Diablo-Lord of Fear Belial-Lord of Lies Andariel-Maiden of Anguish Duriel-Lord of Pain Azmodan-Lord of Sin
I always liked Azmodan's speech to "Leah", because at face value it looks like he's actually talking to "Leah", where as he is actually talking to Diablo inside of Leah. Commenting that Diablo thought he was so "clever" and that 1 by 1 all of their brethren(Other "Great evils" ie Mephisto, Baal, Andariel, Duriel...) fell to his trap but that he(Azmodan) defies Diablo's plan and that he will take the black soulstone and become the "Prime evil".
If you haven't already been recommended them, Starcraft 2 has an amazing set of cinematic. There's also a lot of them - enough to almost tell a cohesive story even when missing some of the context in the game
YES! Glad you finally got around to watching them. Such an EPIC journey! Definitely worth a quick playthrough at least to experience the story. BTW, that guy that Tyrael saves from Malthael is Lorath from Diablo 4 😃
When playing Diablo, the cinematics are allways a highlight that put a smile on your face! Though I also really loved the character cutscenes (in Diablo III) for each character that had the same drawn-style as the "Book of Lorath" videos you watched before. Speaking of Lorath, he's the guy running away from Malthael when Tyrael shouts "Find the Nephalem!". He appears in-game aswell, pretty much the first person you encounter when playing the DLC.
Kiss's "Oh My Gosh" count : 11 but I think I lost it at some point (I guess that's gonna become a running joke xD) - Leah is the daughter of Diablo and Adria (the Witch that goes back to Diablo 1). - Imperius (the one with the crown) is the leader of the Angiris Council, the instance that rules over all other lesser angels) - Yes Diablo does shatter the Crystal Gates of the High Heavens by just shouting at them xD That tells you just how powerful he has become after absorbing the others 6 demons essences - Yup, indeed the DLC "Reaper of Souls". Malthael's motives are simply to end the war. And for him the easiest ans fastest way to do it is to annihilate every being with demonic influence in them... yup, humanity (since we're born from both Angelic and Demonic essences, Inarius and Lilith). - Fun fact in the first video of the DLC when Tyrael tells the guy behind him to go find the Nephalem, that guy is Lorath Nahr, the old guy in Diablo 4 Awesome video once again ^^ You guys should definately check Diablo III Wrath, it's a short animated movie taking place between Diablo 2 and Diablo 3 timelines which tells a little more about the Angiris Council and the trap Diablo set that leads to the events of Diablo 3 ( th-cam.com/video/LEAPxgMCEA8/w-d-xo.html )
"Yes Diablo does shatter the Crystal Gates of the High Heavens by just shouting at them xD That tells you just how powerful he has become after absorbing the others 6 demons essences" It also tells you how insanely powerful the Nephalem protagonist in DIablo 3 has to be in order to defeat him, and why Malthael being immune to physical injury is the only way that they could go forward after presenting Prime Diablo as the final villain in DIablo 3.
I don't think Imperius is the official leader. He's the most proactive and talkative one but Malthael was the leader of the Angiris Council and as far as the lore is concerned, we have no official info that anyone was named leader after Malthael's disappearance.
18:28 - The guy, Tyrael tells to find the nephalem, should be "Lorath" - the narrator of the "Book of Lorath" Video you two watched... (you wondered who that was - he even says "I once was protected by El'druin's shield" or smth like that) - He appears in "D3 - Reaper of Souls" and D4 i like how hooked you two are, i also love the story behind Diablo and what they *could* do with it
A bit of extra context for the last cinematic with Malthael: His attack is meant to destroy demonic essence, demon outright get disintegrated before it, humans get decayed and their souls are ripped from their bodies (seen in the cinematic) but when Tyrael was able to deflect his attack, he became confused, so he checked him, not knowing that Tyrael had become a mortal. Seeing that there was no demonic essence within him (because he's still technically an angel) Malthael decided to cast him aside as a nuisance, but spare his life, since the angels interests are still what he seeks, even if he does it int he most amoral way possible.
I don't often comment on videos but I discovered you two via your first Diablo 4 reaction. I've played Blizzard games for over 15 years and Diablo II was a huge part of my teenage years until World of Warcraft was released. It's hard for me to explain what these games mean to me (I'm sure everyone here watching feels the same) and I felt necessary to comment because out of all the reactions to Blizzard cinematics I've seen you two have become my favourites! The amount of attention, focus, excitement and emotion you two display while watching is very rare and an absolute pleasure to watch! I am reminded of how I felt watching them the first time, something I don't get often! You two are special and I believe have what it takes to go far with your channel. Please continue to watch game cinematics from time to time, there are some gems out there! If I may, just some recommendations I think you girls will really enjoy: Diablo II Resurrected cinematics - An entire remastered collection of D2s cinematics. I understand this is a bit of a slugfest after watching all of the originals (bravo, and not one mention of the graphic quality!) but the difference is unreal. It would be a crime for me not to recommend them Diablo 4 cutscenes and final cinematic - These are very recent. Game has been finished and its campaign and story were unlike anything I've seen for the trilogy. The final cinematic you guys watched in your first video however the teaser ends it at a certain crucial point but the cinematic continues continues for a lot longer. One of my all time top cinematics if not the best one to date personally. And finally, World of Warcraft cinematics, you will understand when you see them! WoW has been out for a very long time so it may overwhelm you with how massive the lore/story are at first, but the cinematics are and remain some of the best of its time. Apologies for such a huge comment and keep up the epic reactions! Thank you for such an amazing set of reactions it was a pleasure
So if you look when tyrael drives his sword into into the ground to make a barrier when Malthael does his attack, he yells to someone to find the Nephalem. That person he yells to is Lorath, the person who narrated the Diablo 4 lore books you've already reacted to. In those videos, he speaks briefly of his interaction with Malthael. The last cutscene is what he refers to.
really enjoying your guys' channel, thanks for reacting to the diablo stuff ! would be great to see your reactions to the old wow cinematics. Keep up the good work I'm sure its been said below but in the last cinematic the guy tyreal gets to run away from malthael is Lorath, the guy who voices the book of lorath series you guys listened to previously. He even mentions this scene in the chapter where he talks about malthael
Watching the cinematics is awesome and gives you a taste of the whole story. Playing through the campaigns fills in all the blanks. Love your channel and your reactions! You should play through each for the story!
After Diablo, World of Warcraft Cinematics ? ^^ There 60+ Cinematics all good like this, and a world to discover. In Order it's cool, all cinematics from the first extension to the last. And thanks for those videos !
Long story short, Malthael was the Arch-Angel of Wisdom long long ago, but when Inarius stole the Worldstone, something Malthael thought was impossible, and created Sanctuary with it, Malthael went looking for it, and basically went a little mad in his search, abandoning his post as the Arch-Angel of Wisdom. He then discovered that Inarius had created spawn with Lilith, Daughter of Mephisto, and the new world they made had spawned half-breed abominations(the humans/Nephalem) and that kind of pushed him even more over the edge. Upon learning about the Black Soulstone, the Soulstone capable of entrapping any and all evil within it, he hatched a plan. He would wait for the Soulstone to house all of the Lords of Hell and then steal it(the events in the cutscene). He would then fine-tune the Black Soulstone to absorb not just the Lords of Hell, but all evil, which also includes humanities demonic half. Thus the events of the expansion Reaper of Souls takes place. I know that's not really "long story short" these days with everybody being so unwilling to read or write anything longer than 140 characters, but it IS the condensed version. Also, the reason Malthael didn't kill mortal Tyrael in the cinematic was because while Tyrael is mortal, he is still 100% angel, so his soul does not contain any demonic influence like the others did, hence why all the Horadrim that were with Tyrael all had gray colored souls, and Tyrael's when wrapping around Malthael's sickle was pure white.
Addendum: The Reaper of Souls expansion is the direct reason why in Diablo 4 Humanities population has dwindled to near-extinction levels. A good like 80% or some such of humanity was wiped out during the events of the Reaper of Souls expansion.
So basically he wasnt that mad and evil. His intensions were good, cause its not his fault that 80% of humans are just evil dicks.. (basically same as in real life world).
If you do not plan on playing Diablo 4, I would recommend checking out the Inarius vs Lilith cinematic. It takes place after one of the cinematics you have reacted to already, kind of continuing the story. I always enjoy your reactions, keep up the good work.
Honestly if they don't plan on playing it they should check them out all like they did for the other games, as pretty much all of the Lilith cinematics are incredible. Like the first introduction to her in the chapel.
What you need to know 1. Angels are born with their own essence. To Tyriel, the angel of justice, Imperius, the angel of courage, so was wrong to discuss justice 2. Aldruin, the sword of Tyriel, is a "sword that destroys evil." so Maltiel just passed it, means it's not evil
The Death of Deckard Cain really hits so much harder if you've played Diablo 1 and 2, as he plays a very important role as an advisor and helper to your character in those games and follows you all the way through them both.
IDk if someone has already mentioned this but in that other cinematic you watched with the guy telling the stories by the fireplace, the narrator character giving the story is the guy that got away from the death reaper in the last cinematic.
its ok to cry, ive been crying to blizzard cinematics for 10+ years, i am really invested in both Diablo and World of warcraft universe, but blizzards just hits different with their cinematic story telling
I believe context was in the Book of Lorath series of videos, but I did want to remind that Cain didn't die due to Tyreal falling into the cathedral. He was murdered by a servant of Diablo.
i have play all diablo games and first time i see the funeral of decard i almost cry he was with us from the very begining and to see a so important npc die after all thoes years ... :)
Malthael was technically the agonist and protagonist at the same time if you are into diablo lore.Inarius and Lilith gave berth to them. In d1 he killed diablo 1 easy and it takes 5 high angels to subdue all angels to even do any thing, they were worried if then ephilim in d2 lore and turned against the angels that they would take over.He wanted the black soul stoul stone and retire. People dont see but he became the became the agonist not the protagonist
Now I hope you girls check out the rest of the diablo 4 cinematics. Also any of the blizzard stuff is well worth the watch. The original warcraft trailers were really good but not really a story behind them until they got into the later expansions. They are all great to watch.
Whatever else one might think about Blizzard, the cinematics is second to none. While i dont play World of Warcraft anymore i still watch every new cinematic they come out with. Those would probably also be worth watching i would say.
malthael, the aspect of death, wanted to destroy all demons. humanity was descended from the union of lilith a demon and innarius an angel so therefore all human souls are part demon so malthael wants to destroy all humans
also malthael used to be the aspect of wisdom before he went over the deep end and became death. and you mention grim reaper which is funny cause the expansion is called reaper of souls
Also, if you want one of the most unique/fulfilling movie viewing experiences in the past 10+ years (perhaps of all time). One Cut of the Dead. The only problem is how easily the movie can be spoiled. It's best to go in completely cold. No trailers, no synopsis, no reviews, no nothing. It can so easily be spoiled with a single word, which many non-spoiler reviews have done. 100% RT rating, and also one of the most successful movies ever made. The best tip I can give you is to view it with the original Japanese dialogue with English subtitles.
I just started watching your channel, going from oldest to new, so dont know if you have yet, but another awesome game series to check out is final fantasy. Or kingdom hearts for the disney characters.
Great Video as always! But you should really watch the "Inarius vs Lilith" Cutsceen from Diablo 4. Its the greatest Cutsceen i have ever seen by far! :D Keep it up girls!
@@mnomadvfx I actually watched the german version first and then the english original version. Normally i think the original version is way better but in this case the German dub is actually better :D So i get that point!
You really should watch the "Light Extinguished" cinematic from Diablo 4. You've already reacted to some of it, but the whole cinematic became available when Diablo 4 was released. :)
Blizzard's cinematics are consistently incredible, and there's still a ton more you could watch. If you want one that'll really tug on your heartstrings then the Overwatch animated short “Honor and Glory” is fantastic. You've also got the Starcraft and Warcraft universes as well. Warcraft is especially interesting to watch as you get to see how Blizzard's cinematic storytelling evolves over the years.
You guys should definitely watch World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth Cinematics (about1,5 hours) Its also made frome the Blizzard Entertainment Studios and its shows the Story between "The Horde" vs "The Alliance" and how there battle will change. In the video will be mixed Cinematics. Sometimes Realistic grafics, ingame Grafics and sometimes Painted.
At this point, y'all should consider going through the blizzard cinematics catalogue. Always delivers. Would definitely recommend overwatch ones after these. I think you'd enjoy them :-)
when Malthael appeared you 2 say: He is like the angel of death I think he's JUST trying to destroy humanity I think JUST is an interesting word of choice 😂
imperius is the leader of the angiris council, and the council leads heaven. the 5 angels who embody the aspects of anu the most are aspects that become part of the council. tyrael is also one of the aspects of the angiris council. he is justice, imperius is valor. the others are auriel, hope; ithereal, fate; and malthael, wisdom ofc you see malthael in the last couple of cinematics become the angel of death, no longer wisdom. he had an attachment to the worldstone, and its destruction drove him to hate humanity and he sought to exterminate them himself the black soulstone does hail from the worldstone, but it works differently than the blue ones showcased in diablo 2 the azmodan (sin) cinematic has a really cool foreshadowing. when he speaks to leah, he says "our breathen" to her, indicating that he's speaking to diablo, not leah. with the imperius vs diablo fight, yes, diablo destroyed the diamond gates of the high heavens, but that was all he managed to get. diablo defeated imperius so easily because he was the prime evil, the combination of every greater evil of hell. its like fighting 7 of them at once. you see that tyrael is no longer justice, he becomes the aspect of wisdom. which foreshadowed malthael's falling out with heaven (as reaper of souls wasnt out yet) with the first malthael cinematic, the guy that runs away from tyrael when he says "find the nephalem" is lorath, the guy telling the story in the videos you first watched. the reason malthael didn't do anything with tyrael is hes still angel. malthael's only intent on exterminating anything of demonic nature. tyrael is still a pure angelic being, just a mortal one. he has no reason to kill tyrael. the same thing goes for tyrael's sword. tyrael's sword cannot harm those who are pure angelic/"noble" as well (this topic is somewhat debated but i think given the description of his sword it makes perfect sense). malthael committed the mass genocide against humans, he killed 90% of humanity, which gives rise to diablo 4.
I think when and if, you ladies finish the Diablo cinematics, you could try Starcraft 2 lore videos! It's partly focused around a female protagonist, if that helps sell the lore anymore I don't know.
So, have you played the game yet? I'd really love to see how you would react to D4 story, it's very emotional. Maybe react to some "D4 all Cutscenes"? There's plenty out there ))
He also wasn't aware of Diablos new power. The Diablo we see enter heaven was empowered by the Black Soulstone and is now the Prime evil. Hence his new form and why Imperius literally stood no chance
So Tyrael was originally "Justice", but at the end of D3, assumed the role of "Wisdom" which used to be filled by Malthael, who vanished shortly before the events of D3. Malthael kind of went a little crazy and changed from "Wisdom" do "Death" and decided that he wanted to kill all traces of Demons, which included humans, since they are technically half demon.

Because Tyrael is still pure, Malthael had no beef with Tyrael, beyond being in his way.
I also think Malthael recognized Tyrael even in his human form, Tyrael did call him brother after all
@@slider954 Nah, Malthael disappeared leaving both the Angiris Council and the Heavens prior to the events of D3, including Tyraels angelic renouncement and becoming mortal
If you watch closely when Malthael first enters the room and Tyrael identifies him, Malthael tilts his head to the side very slowly appearing confused that he has been identified

After Tyrael says "Brother, why?" you'll see Malthael look from his sickle back to Tyrael very quickly the moment he realizes.

NO ONE CAN STOP DEATH

It's more of a generalism with the angels that we see with Imperius also.
They are so set in their ways that they are incapable of changing.
The irony is that Malthiel could easily have restrained his malice to the Burning Hells and finally ended the Eternal Conflict with the Black Soulstone.
Additionally, it has to be said, that Malthael thought this was the only way to end the eternal war and the threat of the soulstone. That is important to know, why he turned aspect of death and why Eldruin (Tyraels Blade) wasn't able to harm Malthael. Because he was right in his believe.
9:23 azmodan was actually talking to diablo inside of leah
Yea, it really adds depth to the scene when you know that all the Prime Evils and Lesser Evils are more or less constantly at each others throats, vying for power and control over the Burning Hells.
Every time I hear that line Maltheal says it gives me goosebumps. Such a strong line.
No one can stop death 💀
To recap, the names of the lords of hell are
Mephisto-Lord of Hatred
Baal-Lord of Destruction
Diablo-Lord of Fear
Belial-Lord of Lies
Andariel-Maiden of Anguish
Duriel-Lord of Pain
Azmodan-Lord of Sin
I always liked Azmodan's speech to "Leah", because at face value it looks like he's actually talking to "Leah", where as he is actually talking to Diablo inside of Leah. Commenting that Diablo thought he was so "clever" and that 1 by 1 all of their brethren(Other "Great evils" ie Mephisto, Baal, Andariel, Duriel...) fell to his trap but that he(Azmodan) defies Diablo's plan and that he will take the black soulstone and become the "Prime evil".
One interesting thing is that Tyrael's sword El'druin can't hurt those with 'righteous intent', which Malthael had (in a twisted way).
Thats so cool to know, thanks for the details. I'm new to the diablo world. Of course cuz of the diablo 4 hype.
@@aaakx47184 No problem, glad it helped. There's a ton of lore in the series, I'm sure you'll enjoy exploring it 😀
I'm really impressed by how much she retained from the other video.
Great reaction you should do the witcher 3 trailer a night to remember
I respect how much yall are really into the lore and care about knowing each character and the story. I recommend SC2 and WoW cinematics
"No one can stop death" was hella simple but on POINT.
If you haven't already been recommended them, Starcraft 2 has an amazing set of cinematic. There's also a lot of them - enough to almost tell a cohesive story even when missing some of the context in the game

WHAT! Absolutely love little details like that!
He's also from Diablo 3! But he's young there :)

- Fun fact in the first video of the DLC when Tyrael tells the guy behind him to go find the Nephalem, that guy is Lorath Nahr, the old guy in Diablo 4
Awesome video once again ^^ You guys should definately check Diablo III Wrath, it's a short animated movie taking place between Diablo 2 and Diablo 3 timelines which tells a little more about the Angiris Council and the trap Diablo set that leads to the events of Diablo 3 ( th-cam.com/video/LEAPxgMCEA8/w-d-xo.html )
"Yes Diablo does shatter the Crystal Gates of the High Heavens by just shouting at them xD That tells you just how powerful he has become after absorbing the others 6 demons essences"
It also tells you how insanely powerful the Nephalem protagonist in DIablo 3 has to be in order to defeat him, and why Malthael being immune to physical injury is the only way that they could go forward after presenting Prime Diablo as the final villain in DIablo 3.
And then he got killed by a skinnyfat hunchback who throws jars of spiders and frogs.

Sad for now, but she was the daughter of Diablo.
There is a chance that she may reform in the Burning Hells.
Long story short, Malthael was the Arch-Angel of Wisdom long long ago, but when Inarius stole the Worldstone, something Malthael thought was impossible, and created Sanctuary with it, Malthael went looking for it, and basically went a little mad in his search, abandoning his post as the Arch-Angel of Wisdom. He then discovered that Inarius had created spawn with Lilith, Daughter of Mephisto, and the new world they made had spawned half-breed abominations(the humans/Nephalem) and that kind of pushed him even more over the edge. Upon learning about the Black Soulstone, the Soulstone capable of entrapping any and all evil within it, he hatched a plan. He would wait for the Soulstone to house all of the Lords of Hell and then steal it(the events in the cutscene). He would then fine-tune the Black Soulstone to absorb not just the Lords of Hell, but all evil, which also includes humanities demonic half. Thus the events of the expansion Reaper of Souls takes place.
I know that's not really "long story short" these days with everybody being so unwilling to read or write anything longer than 140 characters, but it IS the condensed version. Also, the reason Malthael didn't kill mortal Tyrael in the cinematic was because while Tyrael is mortal, he is still 100% angel, so his soul does not contain any demonic influence like the others did, hence why all the Horadrim that were with Tyrael all had gray colored souls, and Tyrael's when wrapping around Malthael's sickle was pure white.
Addendum: The Reaper of Souls expansion is the direct reason why in Diablo 4 Humanities population has dwindled to near-extinction levels. A good like 80% or some such of humanity was wiped out during the events of the Reaper of Souls expansion.
So basically he wasnt that mad and evil. His intensions were good, cause its not his fault that 80% of humans are just evil dicks.. (basically same as in real life world).
If you do not plan on playing Diablo 4, I would recommend checking out the Inarius vs Lilith cinematic. It takes place after one of the cinematics you have reacted to already, kind of continuing the story. I always enjoy your reactions, keep up the good work.
Yep. It's truly a piece of art and imo the best cinematic Blizzard has done so far.
Honestly if they don't plan on playing it they should check them out all like they did for the other games, as pretty much all of the Lilith cinematics are incredible. Like the first introduction to her in the chapel.
@@Fucisko yes, very true.
What you need to know
1. Angels are born with their own essence. To Tyriel, the angel of justice, Imperius, the angel of courage, so was wrong to discuss justice
2. Aldruin, the sword of Tyriel, is a "sword that destroys evil." so Maltiel just passed it, means it's not evil
13:17 "I don't know what's going on but I love it". Best part of the whole video.
The Death of Deckard Cain really hits so much harder if you've played Diablo 1 and 2, as he plays a very important role as an advisor and helper to your character in those games and follows you all the way through them both.
Hey, stay a while and listen.
IDk if someone has already mentioned this but in that other cinematic you watched with the guy telling the stories by the fireplace, the narrator character giving the story is the guy that got away from the death reaper in the last cinematic.
You guys pick up a lot more than other people 😂❤
Something notable is the Horodrim that Tyrael commanded to run and "find the Nephelem" was Lorath from Diablo 4.
Great watch! Glad you're enjoying the cinematics! Are you gonna watch the Diablo 4 ones next or are you gonna play through it ?
Seriously loving this channel! You two are fun 😊
Bravo. I recommend you the other Blizzard cinematics, especially World of Warcraft, Starcraft and Overwatch.
its ok to cry, ive been crying to blizzard cinematics for 10+ years, i am really invested in both Diablo and World of warcraft universe, but blizzards just hits different with their cinematic story telling
I believe context was in the Book of Lorath series of videos, but I did want to remind that Cain didn't die due to Tyreal falling into the cathedral. He was murdered by a servant of Diablo.
Actually that thing on imperious head is not crown , It's called HELO , like celestial beings supposed to have it for authority
Whenever I hear d3 music I can't help but say "you cannot judge me, I am justice itself" lol
I love you guys! Once you started watching Diablo cinematics I was hooked!!! 🤘
Not sure if you two are aware but the one that he saved that was able to run away was the young Lorath.
i have play all diablo games and first time i see the funeral of decard i almost cry he was with us from the very begining and to see a so important npc die after all thoes years ... :)
Can't wait for you guys to watch the diablo 4 cinematics now!
Haha, you guys are so adorable, should definitely make more reactions to video game cinematics!
Malthael was technically the agonist and protagonist at the same time if you are into diablo lore.Inarius and Lilith gave berth to them. In d1 he killed diablo 1 easy and it takes 5 high angels to subdue all angels to even do any thing, they were worried if then ephilim in d2 lore and turned against the angels that they would take over.He wanted the black soul stoul stone and retire. People dont see but he became the became the agonist not the protagonist
Now I hope you girls check out the rest of the diablo 4 cinematics. Also any of the blizzard stuff is well worth the watch. The original warcraft trailers were really good but not really a story behind them until they got into the later expansions. They are all great to watch.
Great video, as always. Next: all D4 cinematics.
Have a great day!
Great reaction like always. Both of your faces when you first hear Malthael's voice is PRICELESS :)
Diablo 1 old cinematics gave people nightmares.
You guys would love the Diablo 2 Resurrected cinematics!!
Whatever else one might think about Blizzard, the cinematics is second to none. While i dont play World of Warcraft anymore i still watch every new cinematic they come out with. Those would probably also be worth watching i would say.
They'll have to do the Overwatch Cinematics next!
All Archangels are introduced in the "Wrath" animation.
malthael, the aspect of death, wanted to destroy all demons. humanity was descended from the union of lilith a demon and innarius an angel so therefore all human souls are part demon so malthael wants to destroy all humans
also malthael used to be the aspect of wisdom before he went over the deep end and became death. and you mention grim reaper which is funny cause the expansion is called reaper of souls
Also, if you want one of the most unique/fulfilling movie viewing experiences in the past 10+ years (perhaps of all time). One Cut of the Dead. The only problem is how easily the movie can be spoiled. It's best to go in completely cold. No trailers, no synopsis, no reviews, no nothing. It can so easily be spoiled with a single word, which many non-spoiler reviews have done. 100% RT rating, and also one of the most successful movies ever made. The best tip I can give you is to view it with the original Japanese dialogue with English subtitles.
18:27 That's Lorath I believe.
I just started watching your channel, going from oldest to new, so dont know if you have yet, but another awesome game series to check out is final fantasy. Or kingdom hearts for the disney characters.
'The Old Guy'. Played by Deckard Cain (The most influencial Horadrim in all Sanctuary)
Always a pleasure to watch another Diablo reactions from this channel :-)
Amazing!! AND PLEASE for the love of all that is good in this world... GO through the Warcraft cinematics !
Please react to some StarCraft 2 cinematics and Overwatch 1 & 2 videos. You will love them all!
There is a fan parody, CARBOT ANIMATIONS, that did a phenomenally cute version of the DLC for Diablo 3. Worth a watch, for the laughs!
Great Video as always! But you should really watch the "Inarius vs Lilith" Cutsceen from Diablo 4. Its the greatest Cutsceen i have ever seen by far! :D Keep it up girls!
It's good but not great.
It doesn't quite work for me because Lilith's voice actor accent is inconsistent.
@@mnomadvfx I actually watched the german version first and then the english original version. Normally i think the original version is way better but in this case the German dub is actually better :D So i get that point!
Diablo 3 had the best cinematic scenes. In my opinion
You really should watch the "Light Extinguished" cinematic from Diablo 4. You've already reacted to some of it, but the whole cinematic became available when Diablo 4 was released. :)
Can‘t wait to see reactions to the cinematics of D4 ;)
haylee is beautiful
Blizzard's cinematics are consistently incredible, and there's still a ton more you could watch. If you want one that'll really tug on your heartstrings then the Overwatch animated short “Honor and Glory” is fantastic. You've also got the Starcraft and Warcraft universes as well. Warcraft is especially interesting to watch as you get to see how Blizzard's cinematic storytelling evolves over the years.
18:32 Lorath running his ass off.
I just noticed Ahri in the background. You girls are cool!
You guys should definitely watch World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth Cinematics (about1,5 hours)
Its also made frome the Blizzard Entertainment Studios and its shows the Story between "The Horde" vs "The Alliance" and how there battle will change.
In the video will be mixed Cinematics. Sometimes Realistic grafics, ingame Grafics and sometimes Painted.
th-cam.com/video/S00lI8_m0u8/w-d-xo.html
Heya! Hope you two give the Starcraft universe a watch aswell! it's the same company as Diablo and to Cinematics are just as good!
These cinematics blew my mind out of my butt when I saw them in 2012
tyrael is such a best boi,best homie
At this point, y'all should consider going through the blizzard cinematics catalogue. Always delivers. Would definitely recommend overwatch ones after these. I think you'd enjoy them :-)
when Malthael appeared you 2 say:
He is like the angel of death
I think he's JUST trying to destroy humanity
I think JUST is an interesting word of choice 😂
yesssssss been waiting for this one
imperius is the leader of the angiris council, and the council leads heaven. the 5 angels who embody the aspects of anu the most are aspects that become part of the council. tyrael is also one of the aspects of the angiris council. he is justice, imperius is valor. the others are auriel, hope; ithereal, fate; and malthael, wisdom
ofc you see malthael in the last couple of cinematics become the angel of death, no longer wisdom. he had an attachment to the worldstone, and its destruction drove him to hate humanity and he sought to exterminate them himself
the black soulstone does hail from the worldstone, but it works differently than the blue ones showcased in diablo 2
the azmodan (sin) cinematic has a really cool foreshadowing. when he speaks to leah, he says "our breathen" to her, indicating that he's speaking to diablo, not leah.
with the imperius vs diablo fight, yes, diablo destroyed the diamond gates of the high heavens, but that was all he managed to get. diablo defeated imperius so easily because he was the prime evil, the combination of every greater evil of hell. its like fighting 7 of them at once. you see that tyrael is no longer justice, he becomes the aspect of wisdom. which foreshadowed malthael's falling out with heaven (as reaper of souls wasnt out yet)
with the first malthael cinematic, the guy that runs away from tyrael when he says "find the nephalem" is lorath, the guy telling the story in the videos you first watched. the reason malthael didn't do anything with tyrael is hes still angel. malthael's only intent on exterminating anything of demonic nature. tyrael is still a pure angelic being, just a mortal one. he has no reason to kill tyrael. the same thing goes for tyrael's sword. tyrael's sword cannot harm those who are pure angelic/"noble" as well (this topic is somewhat debated but i think given the description of his sword it makes perfect sense). malthael committed the mass genocide against humans, he killed 90% of humanity, which gives rise to diablo 4.
There is one more Diablo III to watch aside from character trailers. Look up Diablo III Wrath, it tells you a bit more of the angels.
Malthael with the best line ever: No one can stop death!
I like this cinematic blizzard ofc
Malthael is so badass!
Do you think you might ever give any of these games a shot?
Diablo Wrath. you need to see this too
Very cool D3 had some of the best ones IMO
Time for you guys to watch the World of Warcraft cinematics!
Seems like you both really enjoy the Diablo story and characters. I hope you watch more cool Blizzard stuff there's a lot to see.
I think when and if, you ladies finish the Diablo cinematics, you could try Starcraft 2 lore videos!
It's partly focused around a female protagonist, if that helps sell the lore anymore I don't know.
if you loved the cinematic you are going to love playing it.
i came one month later, they did play the game? xD
i think you guys would like the For Honor Cinematics
Blizzard has always been really good at cinematics. Warcraft 3 had some of the best.
Cab you do world of warcraft cinematics as well?
you should watch the cinematics for star craft 2 and world of warcraft. They are just as good as the diablo 3 ones.
So, have you played the game yet? I'd really love to see how you would react to D4 story, it's very emotional. Maybe react to some "D4 all Cutscenes"? There's plenty out there ))
"He's the real good guy"
Me: I like tyrael in HOTS too :)
you guys should do thew World Of Warcraft or the overwatch cinematics next
the reason imperious was so confident is because he defeated diablo before
He also wasn't aware of Diablos new power. The Diablo we see enter heaven was empowered by the Black Soulstone and is now the Prime evil. Hence his new form and why Imperius literally stood no chance
