Mists of Pandaria Cinematic Trailer

Wrath cinematic was awful in what bizarre twisted world?

It was like watching Kung-fu panda with better CG. It was very light-hearted, I was not expecting that. I liked the big bad Illidan and Lich King intros. This one is taking its time to sink in. I suppose we can have a fun expansion, even if it's silly. The world doesn't always have to be on the brink of destruction

No there isn't. I checked.

Over and over and over again. I ain't not no see any gnome!

Amazing graphics, pretty fucking stupid little story though...I give it a C-. And it sure doesn't do anything to dissuade the kungfu panda stereotype...

GTFO this website then, please.

I think that's the point of the whole question 'what do we fight for,' isn't it? Pandaran of any class start out factionless, but then the player makes a choice to go to the Horde or Alliance, choosing what to fight for.

As for making Horde/Alliance look incompetent... it's Chen Stormstout versus two exhausted, shipwrecked warriors with makeshift weapons. I'd hope he would hand them their asses.

If I didnt know any better, I would think it was a signal of how the pandas teach the horde and alliance to live in peace and harmony, and what's with the teaming up all of a sudden.

All it did, was make me wish they had added naval battles.

It should have been alot more serious, and not make horde/alliance look like incompetent fools, who'll get run over by pandas.

Oops, sorry, I guess Blizz forgot that Warcraft needs to be a 'no-fun allowed, moar grim-dark badguys who puke lava pls'. God forbid they have a cinematic with a twinge of trademark Blizz humor. AND OH.. OH CHEES. PANDAS TEACHING HORDE AND ALLIANCE TO LIVE IN PEACE AND HARMONY?

OH WAIT YOU MEAN LIKE IN THE JADE FOREST STARTING QUESTS?
I swea'h ta' ga'h. Just because they teamed up JUST to fight the pandaren doesn't mean they're going to be buddy-buddy for the rest of the expansion. It's like the WC3 Trailer thing that someone linked in this thread. The pandas wouldn't 'run them over' either, they're just teaching them to not be fuckin' stupid, because the Sha love fuckin' stupid, and get all riled up around it.

Also, spoiler alert: The Alliance and Horde make themselves look like incompetent fools 90% of the time.

I can't find it either! I think we've been tricked.

I personally loved the cinematic! Well done.

First time I've ever gotten chills watching a WoW Cinematic. Good chills.

The Pandaren that join the Alliance and Horde are not the Pandaren natives we see. They were ones who left the island to explore the world and eventually join sides with us.

Also, the point of the video was exactly what Chen was stating. "Find something worth fighting for." The human and orc could not beat a single Pandaren Monk when fighting with blind rage like they were. Meanwhile, Chen, protecting his home, subdued them both with ease. It's a lesson to the Alliance and the Horde that they'll be stronger when they finally put aside their differences and find a real reason to fight; protecting their loved ones and world. The entire expansion is supposed to be teaching the Alliance and Horde that lesson before the Legion returns.

It's a lot of things. Habit, familiarity, etc.

While tension is high between the two sides, the fact remains that when a new threat appeared, both sides in some form worked together to stop it so they could properly get back to bashing eachother. The human and orc saw a "new threat" suddenly come between their own battle, and the instinct is to work together to subdue the new threat before going back to killing eachother.

Whoever think this trailer was bad, they should re-examine their definition of awesome.

I think it started out really great with human vs orc. But why would the human hand the orc his weapon, if the orc was, as orcs used to be in WC3 and WC2 the orc would've killed the human and tried to solo the panda. I have to admit it was fun, but just not appropriate in this setting.

so much better than the cata trailer! loved it!

I feel like these need to be bolded and plastered since people can't seem to get this from the cinematic itsself.

Only good part was with the 2 ships and the rest sucked... This expansions going to be terrible

If there were no previous cinematics to compare this one to, it'd be awesome. However, there are and this one did not live up to the previous ones' epicness. I am thoroughly disappointed.
