Yes I realized while editing this that I have a bleach stain on my shirt, oops! Anyhow the reaction starts at 1:02. So what do you guys think? Great cinematic or Greatest cinematic?
I see that subscribers on this channel is same as content creator but guys THIS IS NOT A REDEMPTION! Calm down! Bolvar Thrall and Jaina need Sylvanas to defeate Zovaal and save Anduin. Shortly after this they will execute her
Dude stop being mad and try to enjoy the game.
Zovaal legit looks like Rita from the power rangers went up to the lich king and was like "Make my monster grow!!!"
Blizzard: "Who wants a good Sylvanas? No one? Then that's what we'll do! Don't you guys have phones?"
Total garbage.
Rofl blizzard pls. Oh well I gotta follow yugiri to isari, so idgaf what bliz is failing at anymore. I'm just hooked on watching it all crash and burn at this point.
Wauw I am so surprised sylvanas didn't die. Who could have ever predicted this turn of events. Blizzard best writing team
FOR THE DARK LADY. ALWAYS.
Only reason I still play the game is because im a huge collector nerd, so I'll keep doing that 😂
I have been a long time sylvanas fan – and this seems so out of character and completely adjacent to her narrative so far
LOL, Blizzard is beyond predictable. Blizzard has literally the very best cinematic creators, and literally the very worst writers! LOL LOL LOL
there is a lot stupid in this cinematic, but jailers look is not one of em!
It’s so clearly a cop out. They wrote themselves into such a difficult situation with Sylvanas because she has done so many horrible things for no reason that a redemption is so clearly impossible. So they pull an Ex-Machina with the villain deciding to complete her soul again for no reason (what so she can feel the weight of everything that she’s done? Blizz plz). All this I somewhat expected and am kind of indifferent about, but what really pisses me off is how Uther’s story in SL is used as a stepping stool to set a precedent for the whole split soul thing. Uther’s story in SL is one of the genuinely good arcs so far this expac. And using it to explain Sylvanas’ hilariously bad redemption arc is kind of pathetic. Mark my words though. I’m willing to bet good money that when the time comes for us to go kill the Jailer, Sylvanas will be the one leading the charge. If that doesn’t happen that would be a genuine twist lmaoo.
Definitely meh cinematic
People say they pay attention to the story then complain about shit not making sense when this shit has been set up for fucking literal years.
I literally laughed when the Jailer caught her arrow without even looking.
It's like "Bitch, you backstabbed everyone you worked with. I know, okay?"
And this endind is predictable af. Of course Blizzard's Messiah is gonna have a redemption arc.
The only good thing about this cinematic is the amount of tears from the coping fans of Sylvanas' master plan to defeat the Jailer and save Azeroth. She was just a tool that got thrown aside.
I for one am HAPPY with this cinematic. The story is burning alive but at least the opposition is getting fucked.
Sylvanas should stand trial in Pandaria.
You are historically one of the people whom I kind of identified as one of Sylvanas' biggest detractors. I call you a detractor and not a "hater" (even though I for sure did so back in Legion) since I don't think you hate the character as a whole through out the lore, rather how she's been handled, and at this point I agree with you… even though I didn't always do so. I defended the character in Legion, I did so again in BfA. Now I am out here like: "What even is this nonsense?"
So I came running and was like "I have to see what he says about this". This is apocalyptically bad. I have been defending this game for so long on its writing and while I still stand by the defenses I have made at the time… the writing is on the wall… probably by a three year old with crayons… Like this is abysmally bad and I genuinely don't even know what to think anymore.
This story is worse writing than Reddit fanfiction.
At least Garrosh went down with his ship in his cutscene.
Back to Warhammer 40k I go
Worst part is Sylvanas is still "alive" and most probably will get redemption story
Which is outright furking stupid from people responsible for story telling
Still making stupid tox videos. Oh well.
Welcome to Warlords of Draenor: Afterlife Edition. All we are missing is a "Shadowlands are free!" at the end. We don't even have a Gul'Dan to focus on this time. :T
That "Toxic Wife" comparison is spot-on to how I have been thinking and how I have been explaining my feelings.
I have no idea whats happening in Shadowlands outside of the cinematics but I'm still holding out hope for Arthas to get the final blow on Sylvanas just for lolz.
Atleast the Jailors armor looks fucking awesome
alliance really be mad abt it, but i didn't want her to die lol
Sylvanas got scammed call the police
I'm done. Thanks for the reaction.
Honest question (not trying to troll): If you hate the lore and the game, why do you play?
I am fascinated that so many people yell that they hate the game and they hate the lore – yet they will watch every WoW video just to say how much they hate it. I don't get it.
This is such a stupid thing. Have the Blizzard developers ever been able to create a good story? And people say they want to see Blizzard implement an MSQ like experience…. bahahaha, no. They won't be able to do that with people who simp for their characters so hard. Sylvanas should have been betrayed; it would be much more real than what was in this cinematic, in all honesty.
All this feels so disingenuous from when Sylvanas was first introduced… from the Frozen Throne. I can't believe I will say this, but I would rather have Green Jesus back instead of this crap. Zovaal is the most idiotic cartoon villain of the week type of deal. After Zovaal, it'll be someone else. Instead of the WoW equivalent of Satan, it'll be the WoW equivalent of God. Since I do have a feeling, we will be getting a Light Expansion next. The Next Group to try to Conquer Azeroth for their own ends. lol
Being someone’s partner isn’t the same as being their servant. Though, it is chains of domination.
And yet not all the storys are the same where everyone who did bad things will be punished .
Sylvanas character is great and all her presentation , cinematics etc etc but not her story.
Those writers ruined this character at maximum.
Manny peoples from or aside game was intrigued for how the road for villain Sylvanas was writed.
Redemption things aren't worth and not even if writers wants to make her the good guy . They already destroyed Sylvanas entirely with this soul thing back on her.
I don't play wow from long time but what it triggered me here back in the community is Battle for Azeroth Cinematic . God damn Oscar. Now i wanted that Sylvanas , not this one or maw version one .
They ruined her.
The story is getting as bad is further until the end . I wish there wouldn't be a Shadowlands expansion.
Yet , here with this expansion , they fail within the game too with the patches.
I'm expecting Sylvanas now to help them kill Jailer , and than to give her a long pause , even with this new Sylvanas , getting killed by Thyrande , even in this new good side state.
I bet Blizzard won't make another villain type like Sylvanas , she was fitting perfect.
Waiting for next cinematic .
I can only understand the Jailor if I turn on subtitles
Think the idea was more along the lines of "Sylvanas was somehow naive and stupid enough to think the Jailor was legitimately on board with her 'free death' idea. Only to find out at the very end that it turns out the dude that wanted power actually wanted power to dominate people." So very surprising. She suddenly turned from the 5d-chess-playing gigabrain tactician into a literal brainlet.
Bring back Megaman 8 playthrough
If they play it off right, the "good Sylvanas" soul will destroy her, realizing everything she has done.
Hey, at least Shadowbringers had a good story. Back to FF14.
