Honestly if Anduin should've died during his epic moment then so should Sylvanas, no way she wouldn't have been gunned down if the cinematic had been realistic.
Yes she was swooping and flying around, but the Alliance had regiments of dwarven riflemen, night elven archers, mages and so on, bombarding Lordaeron, enough of them would definitely hit her to bring her down. Especially since it was after her banshee move that the Horde charged, meaning the Alliance wouldn't be preoccupied dealing with rampaging savages.
It's called forced bullshit. Where writers actually have no idea how things work in real life so they force their bullshit on viewers, tying to make them believe improbable stuff to make flashy images instead of logical narrative.
So yeah, it looks good but the events portrayed are ridiculous just like the rest of the game, so it fits and fans are served.
Wrath of the lich king's Cinematic is still my all time favorite. This one was nice though.
Ya'll are aware that WoW is just a giant playable cartoon right
Considering they made Sylvannas into a 15 year old's idea of a bad ass, it's easy to see who's who in these forums now.
Be fair here. You mean to tell me, if you saw something like that, you wouldn't stop and stare at it in awe? Because I certainly would.

The only part I liked of it was when Sylvanas transformed into Banshee and did her Banshee scream. And also the iconic "FOR THE HORDE!" That was pretty neat :>
Yes, move on
I found Sylvanas going all Legolas funny, I swear I'm gonna make a video mock-up for that at some point.
I miss Mists of Pandaria
Why use catapults and wooden seige engines when we have Warframes, space ships, and cannons that fire either Fel or Light . Hell the Warframe alone can almost 1 shot raid bosses

Anduins armor is looking a little Warhammer 40k Emperor of Mankind-ish

In game I'm absolutely willing to suspend belief, it's necessitated to have a functional game.
But when you spend millions on a 4 and a half minute short, there are so many amazing war scenes to draw inspiration from to make a more realistic battle scene. Have some bullets/arrows rip through her cloak, or have a priest bubble her and see them hitting it. Have her shoot at Anduin and have a warrior intervene in front and shield block it, a moonkin push them away and Anduin then use his shield.
When the expansion is supposed to focus on the conflict between horde and alliance and tie into the "roots" of the game, if you want people to get pumped show the classes you can play taking part in the battle. I enjoyed the leaders going god mode, but everything shouldn't just stop their magic wouldn't be that impressive to everyone, think about the magnitude of foes we have fought and killed.
What was so amazing about some of the other trailers was seeing your class "on the big screen", yes we saw a shaman use earthquake/lightning but you had a lot of screen time. Lets see some iconic weapons, or a class in T20 connect it to the game...
I'd be way more invested going..."thats me"
To be honest I didn't like the cinematic as well. I found it rather bland.
