@@kijxy It was just cheap tension, that fight scene was doomed no matter how you look at it. If Khadgar did die, it would be a pathetic end for an important character, if he doesn't, they knew from the start that scene had no stakes, so why fake it? *Beautiful storytelling*
When I played and got to the cinematic it glitched out and then next thing I knew I was next to Khadgar and everyone was celebrating. It was very annoying. Thank you for uploading.
Seeing Xal'atath yell in frustration like that was sort of cathartic. Like, fuck yea, we finally broke her smug demeanor even if just for a bit. Still love her tho ❤
Haven't felt like crying to a Blizz cinematic for years ... til Anduin did what he felt was lost. The Light knows a worthy heart regardless what its owner thinks.
Not quite, I think I dont remember if it was exactly like this, but I seem to remember the Light empowers those who fervently BELIEVE their cause Is Righteous. Its why, for example, Sally Whitemane was stated to have such power and control over the Light that she far outmatched even the strongest of paladins (save a few, like Tirion Fordring who Is in a league of His own [see when Darion tried to ress him as undead]). As in, Lillian Voss in MoP says that the only reason the Scarlet Crusade was consistently winning was because every Time a Crusader died, Sally just ressed him. And even after she was revived as a DK she STILL was Able to use the Light. To Sally, purging every forsaken was the most Righteous and noble of causes, so her belief in that Righteousness was so strong She was an utter powerhouse. If anything, Anduin here realized that despite what he did, the Light Will still aid him, should His cause be Righteous.
I don't think Anduin got Light fully back right Now, its just for small moments it came back to him Better Blizzard do CGI cinematic like BFA when he got his full power 😅
Bro the man's got nothing to do with this story. Let's leave him out of this. This focus on a smaller cast of characters that actually do something and have character arcs is so much better than what we used to get.
Oh yeh she whisperd to me and said somthing like "after all we been thru you THROW me AWAY. I will savyor ever last bit of your insanity. And enjoy your last breaths"
@@blackalphadragon96 If you did Legion as a priest AND have the mark of N'zoth, she says smth like "Yes, bring your new "allies" to me. You have become my finest weapon!" Implying maybe that we're still doing her bidding.
Good cinematic, but definitely could have made Khadgar’s resurrection/healing cooler. Anduin just puts his hand on him with a little glow and boom that’s it. Could have had him do like a prayer to the Light or just make what he did looker cooler. Doesn’t have to be on the level of what he did in the battle for Azeroth trailer but just spice it up more.
This time around it wasn't about the spell being cool, it was about what it meant. I was cheering Manduin as badly as in BFA cinematic, like a freaking child.
Anyone notice at 2:49 during anudins theme that they changed the chord to make it sound more majestic ? It lined up perfectly with Khadgars eyes opening
Apparently Windrunner plot armour is more effective against the Void than the leader of the Kirin Tor's magic. Also REAL CONVENIENT paladins can resurrect people now, and not all those other times someone died off permanently.
@@Xavieus at least you can see Varian turned to dust and his remains, but Khadgar we only see his hand and the feetlady herself said she wants Dalaran power source for good use, why destroy it when she wants it?
There really is no pleasing people, is there? Expansion ain't even over yet, there's still time for Khadgar, Alleria, Turalyon, or everyone to die. The storytelling this expansion is already leagues beyond SL, let people be happy our favorite son of Lothar is still breathing a while longer. Would have been lame if he died in that way at the start of the expansion seeing as he deserves to retire more than just about any living character in WoW. Let Blizzard cook.
Blizzard trolled me. didnt have audio for the cutscene so i skipped it to watch it later and i made the mistake of talking to Alleria right after, literally spoiled the whole cinematic :(
I like that Anduins character arc has come full circle, I dont like retconning a major characters death because now the opening has lost a lot of impact.
No, Sylvanas wanted to empower the Jailer so he could remake reality to be more "fair." The Jailer tricked Sylvanas into thinking this, as he really just wanted to rule everything. Sylvanas was tricked and believed she was fighting for everyone's freedom. Xal'atath is trying to claim Azeroth's soul. We are unsure how or for what exact purpose yet. Xal'atath is fighting purely for selfish goals and/or to empower the Void to consume the universe.
Hmmm I though the process of ressurection in canon lore recquiered a tremendous amount of energy and dedication from the caster. He barely did anything :'D
@@dande-lion Feels a bit too easy. All light bearers in this region would be able to res people on a wim during the "day", which would be completely broken xD
If it was, the light probably would've reacted very differently. Could be that she still got a lil void leftover on him to spy on him, drive him crazy and stuff
@suohmikoto5185 I think he is still a priest but wields Shalamayne which could be a transitional thing. I THINK most if not all pallies started as priests...?
Xal'atath is a better villain, she is brilliant and colorful and... arrogant. She could have stopped Alleria from releasing that arrow with a single move of palm... but thanks to her arrogance, Alleria fractured "the dark heart " and khadgar escaped. Only to be revived by Anduin. Say what you will about Sylvanas, at least she never underestimated her opponents, or played the arrogant card and get's f****d by someone much more weaker then her. I hoped Khadgar truly have died, because true consequence gives the flavor. If all the good characters keep being saved, healed and revived it starts to lose is taste and become a child game, where evil is always vanquished by friends. Now Anduin can use the light... Where are the consequences from domination magic ? He is not an undead, now he is mentally ok and can use the light. He got out from domination and mournblade without a single scratch. Imagine if that was the fate of Arthas after frostmourne broke😢
I want/hope he's void-tainted. He showed up sooner than I expected, I confess. I did expect we'd see him in the ethereal patch but I have the sneaking suspicion that he'll be a sleeper agent - not created by Xal'atath but for the void lords. We do know that he has remarkable resistance to corrupting powers; Fel and even arcane magic, but its hard to wash the void's stink off you. So I'm wondering what effect this will have on him, and if Alleria may need to mentor him through void corruption.
Arthas had the twist when he was paladin as well. dint compare him with anduin. he was in a relationship when it was prihibited and dont forget how bold and careless he acted. plus destroying entire city like that, that changed nothing at the end. arthas always had the twist in his personality, even before morneblade.
Idk man, If I were the villain I dont know if I would have my nuke weapon in front of a an elve with a bow after telling my speech of surviving countless empires and blabla. A bit meh ngl

Khadgar hated shadowlands so much that he was glad he didnt have to go back.
he said praise the naru I was almost stuck there like Sylvanas lmao
My man spam clicked that accept rezz button as soon as he saw Torghast.
For real! After that fiasco, no way anyone ever wants to die again in the Warcraft universe.

I don't understand, he dissentegrated...

Thanks for beta testing the official launch!
Yeah same for me, glad this was uploaded.
my internet connection dropped during the cinematic......... after relog I was out

I wonder what happened to her

😂😂😂😂😂👍
Appropriate.
Anduin is the first person in 10 years to remember that you can rez in this game
I don't think Anduin got Light fully back right Now, its just for small moments it came back to him
Better Blizzard do CGI cinematic like BFA when he got his full power 😅
The point is Manduin is not afraid to call upon light anymore. He is healing and making peace within himself.
On the quests, Anduin talks about it.
@@sadettinarslan5324Manduin lol
I genuinely POG'd so hard when Anduin revived him.
And just like that... I'm crying.
You’re not alone
You’re not the only one who cried.
Me too
Crying over how bad the writing is.
What a bunch of quivering twats...
I bet next time we see Xal'atath she's going to have a different form 👀
Good that Anduin found his resolve
"Look to my coming at the first light of the fifth day. At dawn, look to the east."
😂😂😂😂😂😂👍
Dam that’s also fitting.
Khadgar came back so he could ask us to collect 5000 valorstones so he can sort through and find the 1 that is just SOOOO perfect to experiment with
4986 valorstones. 4985 is inadequate. 4987 is of course absurd.

"THIS CHANGES NOTHING!!!!"
Then why you mad?
It makes ME mad that the Dark Heart was built into this thing and now it's just gone.
Doubt it is.
Same as with Khadgar - if something is not explicitly shown as dead/destroyed (or in pieces in Dark Heart's case) - it most likely isn't
Also, can we please appreciate how beautiful the shots are
Khadgar: "You just wanted to see me die, didn't you?"
Anduin: "Hmhmhmhm... I will never tell!"
Once again, Medivh fails to make a cameo to save Khadgar

Only the greatest priests can revive mid cutscene. Anduin goat
And to think she used to be my goblin's dagger. They grow up so fast.
Quel'Thalas, Stormwind and Dalaran and yet... All Alliance just like the old times
Man, it's good to have Khadgar back.
Anyone notice at 2:49 during anudins theme that they changed the chord to make it sound more majestic ? It lined up perfectly with Khadgars eyes opening
can't believe I'm crying AGAIN. Anduin's theme playing in the background with this... oh fuck I knew it was all over. i'm so normal about them.
Apparently Windrunner plot armour is more effective against the Void than the leader of the Kirin Tor's magic. Also REAL CONVENIENT paladins can resurrect people now, and not all those other times someone died off permanently.
Anduin never stopped being a priest though and Resurrection has been a Paladin ability since at least Warcraft 3?

Have your faith in the Light "fordring theme intensifies"
YES, ANDUIN!
Itd be cool to just get a scene of xalatath by herself so we could hear her thoughts or just something to develop her more
This cinematic didn't show Xal'atath's feet... I am all sad and gloom now.
Blizzard trolled me. didnt have audio for the cutscene so i skipped it to watch it later and i made the mistake of talking to Alleria right after, literally spoiled the whole cinematic :(

Wait so he's alive!!! Yay!!
At least, Anduin got his shit together
Well at least they have kept Khadgar alive.
Badass Alleria💙 love it!!!
Who is here because the ingame cinematic never plays
So this proves Anduin is a paladin now, he used "Lay on Hands".
I think he's been a paladin for a while now.
Did a temp job as DK.
Then, warrior while he was searching for his light.
Omg anduin yes that is the power of a pala
Xal's angry face is so challenging.. so hot
with all those battles and difficults she faced, she really didn´t think about the amulet? suspicious 🤔🤨
this is fantastic

huh
@@videogamechris I typed this before I saw resscuerection do not mind it
Wasn't his staff the one that allowed him to turn into a raven? Xal'atath broke it in Dalaran
Im crying so bad
Why does he need a wheelchair now though. Surely he could just use magic to fix himself or call up Alexstraza whose now empowered again as an Aspect.
The bad guy has the same plan as Sylvanas? He just doesn't follow an idiot like the Jailer.
