Does this scene seem familiar?

[Daedius]

While not exactly WoW related, for some reason this was recommended to me on YouTube;

Pity I can't embed a YouTube video to a specific time; regardless, does it not remind you of a fairly recent cinematic between a certain Banshee and Goblin almost right down to a T?

Whole thing had a bit of a wow vibe about it.. I'm usually not one for animated stuff

p.s. thanks for posting this.. the follow up was a compilation of fantasy theme trailers for 2018/19

Magical mcguffin that can save the world, bring peace, threat to <x>, etc... is a trope for a reason.

is it just me or is the voice acting in this really bad?

I am talking about the scene @ 0:24, not the film itself overall... -.-

Only on a very shallow level. There's a big difference in tone between the scenes.

This is just pretty much stolen 1:1

I guess these people plagiarized from Blizzard.

Pretty much.

Pretty much.

No. Not only on a very shallow level. Watch both videos. This is not a coincidence. These people plagiarized from Blizzard.

characters in two seperate videos utter the same three words

"THIS IS PLAGIARISM!!!" - random dumb poster on the internet

The orb on a stick that is an instrument of great power is pure coincidence. Give it up. These people watched the cinematic and stole.

I did watch them. You do realize it takes a lot more than what is shown to classify as plagarism. Otherwise most movies would also plagarize.

Meh. This seems like a trope to me. Nothing is "plagiarized".

wow you're RIGHT dude!!! you should CONTACT blizzard right NOW and tell them about this, they should be preparing their high profile lawyer team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lochton]

Eh, same phrase of words but not the same scenario, setting or theme.

The whole scene is stolen. I don't know what trope you are talking about.

One isn't even an orb, or on a stick. It's an egg on a pedestal. You're trying to see similarities where there are none and ignoring the major differences.

It's not like "shiny, powerful object" is exactly high concept, either. Any random buffoon can come up with that.

Oh yeah, that makes it totally different.

The magical McGuffin trope and how it will change or fix everything.

That's not the point. It's the fact that it's an orb on a stick and that they pretty much say the same exact words in the same kind of reveal scene. Show me other examples of this in fiction.
