"Our armies..."
"Will be useless...", Wrathion points to Anduin's head. "N'Zoth will strike here..."
"Oh, if only we had, I don't know... some kind of elite force able to control the void and keep its influence at bay... Or at least one whose soldier's very bodies are infused with the power that negates the Void altogether... Yes, unfortunately, our armies will be useless."
Whatever...
To be fair, one of the visions, is literally those same elite force going full old gods lovers and killing everyone who they cannot corrupt in Stormwind

Well... as fas as i know, all Black Dragons see Deathwing as his father

Well that's his title, BTW the one beside Baine is the head of the HM Tauren? or just some random Tauren?
It's a dragon thing, more or less - all the Dragonflights chase their lineage back to their Aspect, whether or not Deathwing was his literal father he's still the patriarch of the flight. Nyxondra, Wrathion's mother, is also the sister of Onyxia and Nefarian apparently. So perhaps he considers that familial connect to be enough to claim direct descent. This would make Deathwing his direct grandfather, regardless of his actual sire.

I am at work watching the cinematics with sounds off, turned on automatic captions and hoo boy; nzoth became; masaf and Anduin became Android. roflmao god sake. nice punch there also that instant healing was pretty cool.
Anduin being emotional?
Well, I like it. Wrathion took it like a champ but I don't trust any character that looks so good.
I would agree, but Anduin is cast on the far end of the Lawful Good spectrum - his anger toward Wrathion would normally be more righteous, not quite what we see in the cutscene. That being said, N'Zoth's influence is likely only working on emotions already there, under the surface. Towering rage is probably exactly what Anduin is feeling when Wrathion breezily and smugly walks into the court of Stormwind all smiles and handshakes. Ordinarily he'd suppress it, considering beneath the calling of the Light, but here you kind of see a more unguarded moment courtesy of N'Zoth playing on him a bit.

I must say, after watching all 8.3 cinematics, Tyrande angrily bouncing her tits on anduin while talking about vengeance was what really touched me. True masterpiece.
Also facial animations in both epilogue cinematics are wonderful. They look like they all got their lips burned by tabasco while having stroke.
That punch though....... prelude to an epic tickle fight?
WTF happened to Wrathion? He's so hideous now.
I also can't fucking stand Anduin. Even playing Horde now I literally can not avoid him and his bullshit.
