Rise of Azshara Cinematic - Safe Haven

This kind of reasoning is what makes me wish I never read this thread in the first place. It's not always black and white. You don't have to hate if you don't love. You don't have to rate 0 if you don't rate 10. Things can be subjective, opinions can differe and things can be different than what your interpretation is. Quite frankly, the vast majority here seem to be too blatantly stupid to understand that. The immediate response seems to be crying "bad writing" the moment you either disagree with something or fail to understand the big picture.

And no, I'm not telling you that you have to think it's good writing.

I’m not sure you understand what I typed out. As stated, if it was Saurfang lying to Thrall then it’s a nice piece of storytelling as it shows him being deceitful in an attempt to get Thrall to join his cause as clearly no sane, rational person would spend time having a normal conversation while knowing full well there are assassins around meant to kill you and the person you are talking to, while not tipping them off or being cautious yourself.
The flip side is that if it’s not a lie by Saurfang then the writing is god awful as that’s exactly what he’s doing. Knowing full well there are people there to harm someone just to casually walk amongst the fields and admire the wheat before casually talking about problems you have with someone else makes no sense.
Even if you try to say that Saurfang did know they were there and thought they were only reconasaince then he would know to be more stealthy so as not to be seen or still tip off Thrall they were being spied on.
In the end, great writing or terrible.

When it comes to products that one pays for (this video wasn't paid for, but playing the game is) - one should NEVER use "do it better yourself" as it just makes you look bad.

Is it just me or was the dialogue super cringy?

"I followed them"
When I heard that, I was like oh man... that was awful.

I did really like the rogues though! That was super cool to see

No it’s a valid question. They weren’t destroyed

Thrall executed Garrosh and the elements abandoned Thrall, much of which was channeled through Doomhammer. Doomhammer was then given to the player character shaman, who in the end used its powers to remove the corruption of Sargeras sword, rendering it useless.

It would basically be completely useless to him. The reason he uses Garrosh's weapon is because, before he was a shaman, Thrall was a warrior. He is one. That and it probably serves as a reminder, among other things.

It was a fond memory he was reminiscing just before they marched on teldrassil, so that excuse does not exist.

Why don't they make a Warcraft movie that looks like this?

They already did years ago? That's where they get all these detailed cinematics that they've been making since WoD launch trailer. The warcraft movie.

Oh but I thought she wasn't evil? So many or her knights said she wasn't, defended her to hell and back that she wasn't this evil being....that she was just misunderstood.

Tbh I cannot think of a character I am less excited to see.

Also why do the orcs have big fat jowls?

That’s not Gorehowl or Xal’atoh. Or the 1-handed the used in WotLK

Trom'ka warchief. we've missed you so much.

I wish they would upload these cinematics in 4K. The Screenshots have higher res than the video.

Did I miss something? When did Saurfang escape / get let go?

I wish they would have shot the cinematic during night time. Badass cinematic tho!

You haven't been playing the game, have you?
