World of Warcraft: Dragonflight - Cinematic Leak

So, cats out of the bag now i guess.

Cinematic starts with the camera flying through clouds at night as Nozdormu voice-over monologues. Music is mysterious with choir singing.

“For all of living memory… the Void has corrupted our world.”

The camera opens onto a large group of floating landmasses and islands under a starry sky. The dragon isles. The camera flies to a small floating building that looks just like the temple of storms with no roof. Flashes of color are seen coming from inside.

“And the monsters of their design unendingly escaped annihilation.”

From above we see Wrathion, Alexstrasza, Kalecgos, and Nozdormu channeling their power at the Blade of the Black Empire which is floating in the center of the room. The eye is now red and orange like N’Zoth’s. A remnant of N’Zoth survived in the blade. Camera cuts to a close up of the dagger.

“Subdued… Imprisoned… The destruction of N’Zoth, finally within our grasp”

They channel more power at the blade. The blade’s eye winces in pain and makes a horrible sound like screams combined with shattering glass.

“Just a bit more!” Wrathion yells above the noise.

The music turns more ominous.

Close up of the Blade. We see it begin to crack. The multicolored energy swirls around it in a howl. The blade breaks and explodes, tendrils of shadow fly out of the core. Just as it splinters time freezes for everyone but Nozdormu. The just-exploded dagger floats in mid-air, the shadowy tentacles frozen. Nozdormu realizes that time has stopped. We hear a disembodied voice.

“Oh to witness, as i have many times, the moment of our awakening…”

Murozond appears. Not dragon form, looks exactly like Nozdormu mortal form but his eyes, skin, and armor look infinite infused.

“Murozond….” Says Nozdormu.

“He is free…” Murozond interrupts.

Nozdormu stares at the blade in anguish, knowing the gravity of their failure.

Murozond walks around the blade, looking at it as he speaks.

“Such arrogance of ours, to think this was the way.”

“Leave this place!” Says Nozdormu.

“You have doomed us all… Their armies will run rampant. Their corruption will devour this world…but there is another way”

“What do you want from me…” says Nozdormu, defeated

Snow begins to quickly materialize out of thin air and swirl around Nozdormu and Murozond until they are are swallowed in a blizzard.

“Countless lifetimes ive sought an end to this darkness, but the titan’s plan was laid before us all along.”

Just as quickly, the snow reduces to a steady calm pace.

The camera flys over their shoulders and tilts down to reveal they are standing above Galakrond’s Rest. The bones of Galakrond are enormous.

“We must bring him back, it is the only way” says Murozond.

“Are you mad? He would kill us all!” Shouts Nozdormu.

“He will kill…” Murozond Interrupts “…Them! It was his created purpose, a being capable of consuming this darkness! You know it to be true.”

Nozdormu stares at the bones in disbelief of the position he is in, defeated.

Murond looks at him frustrated.

“What use is this power if we cannot correct the mistakes of the past! It was his destiny... This is our destiny!”

Nozdormu looks at Murozond sullenly. Murozond stares back. Nozdormu turns towards Galakrond’s bones and channels a beam of bronze magic into the air above.

Murozond’s face lightens up, determined as he does the same. The two begin to open a portal above Galakrond’s rest that continues to grow in size. The portal warps and swirls between bronze energy and infinite energy, eventually reaching the size of Galakrond’s Fall.

With a climactic booming roar, Galakrond flies out of the portal which then instantly shatters. Nozdormu looks at his hands in horror as his body begins to warp with infinite magic.

Murozond teleports, vanishing into infinite particles. Nozdormu falls to his knees as he continues to change. Galakrond flies over his head.

Galakrond looks like other proto dragons but is enormous, very stocky and is covered in spikes. He has scary looking black eyes with a pale white iris.

The camera follows Galakrond as he flies up and lands on top of a snowy mountain and lets out a bellowing roar. He then flies at the camera. Cut to Dragonflight logo.

this is not the cinematic transcript leak from the speculation forum from 4chan but i like this one better!
although i think it is too wordy.
hype!!!

[shoc]

pics or it didnt happen

[Deventh]

The 4chan version.

Make your own conclusions.

I think this one is fake as Galakrond wouldn't work for final boss.

[rhorle]

Another N'zoth expansion? Murozond back from the dead? Random mention of the void? Yeah sounds terrible.

I think it would be cool to have the end of a raid/zone/dungeon gave Nozdourmu fall to madness, even if he doesn't come up as a villain.

Odd this all comes out after the expansion title is seemingly leaked...

[Chickat]

4chan leak is much better, but i might be biased.

[Lady Atia]

4chan leak is much better, but i might be biased.

This. The 4chan leaks reads awesome and super epic and it sets the tone for the expansion. This just reads like bad fanfic and has again too much story and blabla going on alongside stuff that's better told ingame.

[Triceron]

Cool concept. Fans are quite creative.

[threads]

more like cinematic fanfic

[Radaney]

This one seems like fanfiction, 4chan one seemed more based on reality.

Sylvanas wasn't the final boss.

[Khaza-R]

Way too many words.

Cinematics have minimalist dialogue for a reason.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

4 chan one is at least consistent in theme(Cinematic wise) so I buy that then the other one. The one in the OP seemsd to be mixxing Void(N'zoth rather) and Dragons along with Murozond reving Galakrond. All the ideas sound like something Blizz could write down but in a cinematic? Its all over the place. The intent may be fanservicey but putting all that in one big CGI cinematic would be messy, at least IMO.


Again I can see all of this in some very pre production of some expansion sheet for ideas to think of.


Forgot to add 4chan one feels very vanilla if only how Azeroth it feels and well not completely giving away the greater plot that is going on. Not necessarily a bad thing IMO.

[Triceron]

Yeah I agree.

4chan one fits with the narration style of most of the WoW trailers, but seems to miss out on a lot of the 'Action'. It's like a reverse Cataclysm trailer, showing nice terrain but little else. Doesn't seem very interesting.

This one has the penultimate action scene, but otherwise is frontloaded with so much exposition that it doesn't fit at all. It's like WoD trailer, but without the punchy conclusion. Usually if they go the route of exposition and action, they would have some memorable lines at the end like Wrath's 'No King rules forever' or TBC's 'You are not prepared!'

[ChairmanKaga]

I think this one is fake as Galakrond wouldn't work for final boss.

If one follows the logic of that Chinese "predicting future expansions by deconstructing previous expansions" post a parallel of Galakrond: Dragonflight as Deathwing:Cataclysm coming off the Wrath related Shadowlands, I could believe it.

As for this post it feels too fan-wank. They did not definitively show the blade as destroyed but it seemed to have been in the Nyalotha cinematic with Wrathion.

[Yakshamash]

Yeah, I saw it too. But nothing like this and won't tell anything!

[TheRevenantHero]

That gives absolutely no indication what the conflict of the expansion would be.

I have no idea why I'm cracking up, but those explanations LOL!
