I imagined how pissed off Iridikron would be when he finds out that the Dark Heart he gave to Xal'atath back in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight is destroyed and that his dreams of Azeroth being freed from the Titans grasp all went up in smoke, I have no doubt in my mind that he'll eventually seek vengeance.
Everyone on the wheelchair, just like Drek'thar in Dragonflight. He should fuse with that chair and become Khadgartron! Or just float on it and shoot arcane beams
I'm just glad Anduin's sad phase is over.. Felt like he delivered lines in the exact same tearful voice for 1.5 expansions, it was getting really tiresome. The payoff was pretty well executed tho.
Canticle of sacrifice (and similar themes derived from it) is genuinely the best musical motif in the franchise, and I will die on that hill. It's use here simply reinforces that!
Everyone called it from the start. The only question was if blizzard actually were stupid enough to kill him or not. But of course they needed some wheelchair representation so that was the goal all along
@@Xamufam we closed the door to the shadowlands behind us as the expansion ended, we cant really canonically go back without some sort of special means.
Maybe it's just me but I think it's really neat that they made Khadgar look less like your typical old man and more like a young man who just instantly became old. Like he didn't age naturally but had a bunch of decades taken out of him all at once. Because of Medivh this man is like 40 going on 80 and I'm not sure what it is about the way he looks but they managed to capture it really well.
I remember his original character model introduced in TBC, he looked like a gaunt older wizard with a long white beard. When he was re-introduced in WoD, they gave him the Dadghar glow up.
This part was perfect for Anduin as this cutscene alone was moment of Redemption. Also, its interesting that Thrall finally admits that Varian was indeed a proud warrior, one that he has come to respect.
It's nice to see Khadgar and Alleria together like this, they have knowen eachother and faught side by side since warcraft 2, so it makes sense they would be close friends and value eachother this much.
I was never so happy to hear someone's theme to be honest. Having Anduin saving the day was a brilliant move, specially doing so thorugh the light. He's slowing becoming that better version of Varian we were promised long ago.
@@bigbangrafa8435 🤦 The whole point of the conversation he had in this very video is that he isn't his father but he doesn't need to be. He isn't "better Varian", he's Anduin.
Anduin: FSS do i really need use holy light one last time? FINE! Khadgar: Thank you Anduin... Anduin: im not my father! Wrathion: Oh lookie Khadgar is back? good work... my father is not..
Totally, but that "Oh nooo Anduin and Khadgar died that early, HA sike!! They didn´t die ;)"-$hit was hardcore unnecessary (cause it was freakin obvious that both wouldn´t die that way... especially Anduin). So why this artificial drama from Activision? Everyone (except for some simple minds) could predict that fake §hit easily ://
I'm sure Sylvanas told Alleria how Greymane shot at her important item while pretending to fight her and how mad she got. So now Alleria remembered and tried the same - it worked! Nice tactics. 10/10 Thanks Greymane.
He didn't " shoot at her" he lunged at her first knocked her down and she still had the lantern on her hip then he lunged at her again grabbed the lantern she shot at him again hit him in his upper right shoulder from the front then he got up while she was talken smack and he smashed the lantern
Okay, tears here. Again. As they were standing there, Khadgar dead, I kept saying "do it! Just reach out and do it." And...Anduin did, bless his heart. My two favorites, safe and...mostly sane. I need a chair like Khadgar's in game, I'm in one in real life, having one in game would be so damned awesome. Wonder if one of the devs would gift this granny with one.
Well its been a hot minute since I've been emotional over a cinematic xD That damned reunion with khadgar AND saving him with the very light Anduin was running from. Beautiful
People have been angry that it has taken Anduin so long to return to the light, that he has not gone to his mentors... and yet? Dude was trapped in the ream of death, twisted and tormented with the same domination magic that warped Arthas. Except that Anduin would have known, would have seen the similarities, thought that this was what had happened to Arthas, and if the Lich King was an unredeemable monster, than so to was he. He has not completely healed, but he is walking the path. Here is hoping they show him stumbling a bit, but still making progress, as mental wounds cut deeper than physical. And Khadgar thought fast and saved himself and in a way that wasn't a total asspull! Because hey, as he said, it was risky and he did end up dying (briefly) regardless. It actually made sense with what we knew of the Dark Heart and his own skill as an archmage.
Yeah Anduin was forced to take a back seat as he slaughtered everybody and everything in his path and hated the fact that he didn't feel bad about it at the time. For a kid who's sole purpose was to bring in peace to the world it must have been a complete strip down of your person and shattered his essence. That's not something you just walk away from. Thrall was the same way with his elemental issue and having to go through all his struggles with his wife to accept what happened to him and try to fix it.
Hmmm, actually, do you remember what Uther told Arthas before Arthas' pledging to become a paladin? Uther: “You are ready, Arthas. You have proven yourself time and again. You are worthy of the title of paladin. But remember, no one is ever truly ready. No one feels worthy. We do what we must, because it is right.” Maybe Anduin's moment in this vid mirrors that of what Uther said? Before Shadowlands Anduin was completely sure of himself and kind of simply 'inherited' a high position and great power without actually earning any of it, but now, after struggling I believe he will truly become not a priest like his child self, and not a warrior like his father, but an actual Paladin, and I believe that Uther's part about nobody ever truly being ready or feeling worthy, but doing what is right because we must, shows exactly what Anduin was struggling with - after being a perfectionist idealist as a child, he struggled with being flawed and having real struggles with himself, and finally coming to do what is right despite doubts.
@@Uouttooo Alleria wasn't able to sense archmage Drenden as Xal'atath, Xal is really master of disguise. Considering Anduin resurrected Khagdar, he is the real one for light magic will hurt Xal'atath.
Below the five minutes from the cardiac arrest he is not dead. He just healed his wounds and restarted his heart. We can do it too with just modern technology (well, not the “instantly heal wounds” part, but the entire premise of the emergency rooms is to make people survive even after a cardiac arrest).
In warcraft terms, "using the light" to resurrect allies jsut after they fell is not really raising someone from the Dead Not in a "necromancy kinda way" at least
Well Xala got banished but she will return and we got Khadgar. Clever trick old fox to transmute yourself. No wonder you outsmarted Medivh. He would be proud of you Khad to see you outwit an Old Void entity
“I’m not aiming for you” they really know how to make it feel like a bad action movie. Also, all the buildup around the dark heart and Khadgar "dying" immediately resolved, no meaningful payoff and everyone lives happily ever after. I really can't believe a team of professional writers come up with this stuff.
See I expected Khadgar to survive, no body and they cut away from him.. The Queen Neferress being alive but twisted into this.. weird abomination thing was a surprise though.
@@Athelarius She's probably going to be stuck like that but it would be cool to have a Hybrid old god Nerubian that could possibly channel some of those powers to help them. Turn the revolution into a full blown coup after the first raid.
Just wanted to say thank you so much for all the work you do for these lore videos, they are appreciated. I like being able to keep up with the ongoing lore, and your videos are so well put together. Cheers!
Thank you for the support, I’m glad you like them. It’s my way of helping people keep up with the lore & story, whether they still play or don’t have the time to play anymore.
The fact that this is clearly a more uplifting variant of the music that played when Varian died is so god damn sick. Andiun finally realizing that he doesnt need to be his father to be a good king for the alliance and thus finally allowing himself to become great by himself. Finally some good writing bliz keep it up
omg.....thank the light anduin finally forgives himself and stops blaming himself and he was able to save khadgar. i feared if khadgar was truely dead then mages would never feel the same ever again....ty Anduin.
Gave me the same energy as Hawkeye vs Iron Man in Civil War when Clint was like "Just can't seem to miss" as he proceeds to miss on purpose as he fires at Iron Man to distract him to which he responds with "Well first time for everything." "Made ya look."
I was wondering if something involving the dark heart would occur. I mean, for all her careful plans, Xal'atath does seem to have a habit of hsving the dark heart out and about for all to see. You'd think she'd have anticipated something like this.
I love Alleria and her concept, but I'm really getting disappointed by the way they're pacing her story. She overcame all doubts in a 5 min cinematic and now did this to one clever villain, in a minute! that's not a good pacing in my opinion
You do know Arthas was a villain, right? And unlike a few others he never had any noble intentions. Furthermore, Blizzard has reiterated over and over again that every action he took in service to the Scourge and later as the Lich King himself was entirely of his own free will. It was in a way quite fitting that his soul ended up being used as fuel by the very evil he sought to control and exploit for his own ends.
@@Ultimaton100 he was also a major driving force in wow's popularity since it's inception. To say that his end in the Shadowlands was a *little* insulting would be an understatement
I want one too, I have one in real life. I would pull out the mage for that, or a priest. Heck, my main is a Paladin, I would have to do some rigging to figure out how, but fighting in floating, that could be righteous fun.
I was roaring with excitement. Seeing the bird I was like WAIT- HE'S ALIVE Then I was like "WAIT IS HE JUST GOING TO DIE AGAIN?" And then ANDUIN and just-AAAAAAAAAAAH I'm a sucker for this. Khadgar was my favorite character for a long time and Anduin became my new favorite overtime (watching him grow and fall and grow again). So this was real powerful for me.
Your reaction is literally the same as mine step by step they had us at the first half then with the finish it becomes one of the best cinematics to date
This misses me on two points. It underplays the moment of Anduin reconnecting with the LIght. They didn't need to turn him into a drama queen for that scene but a bit more glow effect would have better suited the occasion. Alleria got more bang for the buck when she zapped Xalatath's gizmo. The gentle smile he bestowed on Khadgar was a nice touch. Anduin has never been prideful and understatement between old friends speaks volumes. My bigger issue is the insult to Varian's kingship. His sword is not an instrument of evil. He did not kill without purpose. A leader must sometimes choose force when reason and sweet words do not secure the peace. Are we to forget how Varian secured escape for the remnants of his army at the cost of his own life? When Anduin asked "What do I do now?" Varian replied "What a king must do." Anduin is not Varian but he is a king. He can lead without a sword in his hand, but he will need a warrior as his righthand man.
Anduin is one of the very rare few lore characters who can resurrect, he resurrected Varian in one of the books, seeing him do it again is amazing, I'm glad to see Anduin is back Edit: Can't believe I forgot about his mass rez of the Alliance forces at lorderon
Resurrection is an incredible feat in lore. We do it in gameplay all the time; but lore wise, it takes an incredible tie to the Light to perform. Very rare. Anduin had done it once before with Calia Menethil.
Me yelling at the screen when Khadgar comes out: "Heals. HEALS! Fucking healer is just standing there!" Heals!" *finally the healer starts healing Me: "YES!"
Technically he wasn’t dead yet. Just in cardiac arrest. Anduin healed the wounds and restarted the heart. We can restart hearts too in the emergency rooms of every hospital. It’s only after 5 minutes with no heartbeat that the brain starts to die.
@@thewalrus45 Fun fact: defibrillators actually aren’t used to restart hearts outside of specific cases (when the stop is caused by fibrillation, and it would be the CPR to do the heavy lifting anyway). As the name says, they are used to… de-fibrillate an heart in fibrillation. Usually it is the CPR or cardiac pacing that restarts the heart in cases of cardiac arrest, but it would sometimes restart in fibrillation, and it has then to be defibrillated (and sometimes, the defibrillator used to stop a fribrillation would end up accidentally stopping the heart, that has then to be restarted).
man god thing that the void artefact build to contain magic can be easily broken with one arrow imbued with void magic. and it is really funny that such great manipulator forgets that she is holding an extremely brittle artifact.
Anduin finally remembered he is Paladin and not Death Knight so he got a Ressurection spell in spellbook.. Anduin played Death Knight for a couple of days and now he forgot rotations..
THANK YOU ANDUIN I CAN NOT EXPLAIN MY Gratitude for bringing my guardian…my…archmage and my Mentor thank you Anduin Wrynn I owe you for this and I will help you bring Xal’atath down together❤❤❤ And thank you blizzard for not letting my heart shatter like it did with Varok Saurfang I could not bare lose another great character….😢❤❤ And thank you @Athelarius for always posting these amazing moments and cutscene I hope it just keeps on coming and becoming better and greater, you made me heart whole again just to witness Khadgar return to us once more ❤️❤️❤️ thank you ^^
Glad you’re enjoying these, doing the best to keep everyone updated with the story after all these years! And I’m glad to see Khadgar back and well, and Anduin embracing the light again. Best moment in War Within and best cinematic yet
I'm starting to think... This is a spoiler: the developers said that Xalatat will not die. So she either runs away, becomes a half-ally, or gets locked up. Where was she locked up, oh, in a dagger. Who has that dagger now?
Fk, I just played the scenes with the battle in Hallowfall and the Kadghar, Alleria, Anduin scene. Music and setting excelent. And a tear in the end. GG Blizz!
Can you please put the word spoiled in front of these cinematics? I got a notification on my computer which completely spoiled me as I worked through the campaign . It's a small change that would save many people. Very infuriating to see.
Us. We're the biggest thorn on the chessboard. There may be stronger players, but we're the only ones that seem to be unable to be stopped or killed. What better soliders for Xal, then ones that never stay dead when killed, and are completely unaffected by death aside from having to repair their armour?
The sunwell, based on what’s coming in midnight, and it makes sense. With the dark heart destroyed, she needs a new font/source of immense void energy to do what she wants. Converting the sunwell to the void thus makes sense, rather than attempting to reforge the dark heart and repower it (if that’s even possible)
@@TheHeroWTF What chestboard are you talking about? Xalatath has the power to wipe us all from said board, and in fact during the game she had multiple opportunities, she just refused to do so due to an unbelievable plot armor. It's piss poor writing.
Wait he turned himself into pure arcane energy to protect himself within all the void energy? I definitely couldn't possibly imagine a world where he came back a little bit of void corruption....
