Will It be Worth the Wait? & Hell yh I’ll stay tuned In for It

[@ravnos04]

Bro, love your breakdowns and videos. I say this with the utmost respect to you both as content creators and professionals in your craft. Man, you’ve got to STFU and let her take in everything. The conversation can come after and would be a nice touch of genuine inspiration from two separate points of view. I’m sure you know that in filmmaking that less is more. There can be SO much gleaned from your excitement without you saying anything during her initial watching. Your eyes, your smile, body language…all of it helping build up that excitement for the audience. My wife and I still play this game 10 years since we’ve been married and like your reactions but can’t get through these because Aliya’s reactions are a pale comparison to what it would have been without your influence and consistent chatter.

[@JoaRisaPi]

Easy choice. Diablo 4 cinematic(Long version). Same company as world of warcraft. 14 minutes! amazing video kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHq0gX-lZdCtmMU&ab_channel=GameClips

[@MaeLonewolf]

"Always check in on your healers, guys. " Best comment. She is such a treasure!

[@PhilipHarts]

That one got me hahaha

[@khileemyers3059]

@@PhilipHarts Hell fuckin yh I can’t wait to watch & Like em all

[@searklarak]

Hopefully you two don't argue who has better hair! Thanks for featuring her again, she's so sweet and genuine!

[@DeeFourCee]

Anduin isn’t a Paladin, he’s a priest. He’s wearing heavy armor because he’s the king

[@Raffalius]

Yeah, but to be fair it would have been a good decision for Blizzard to have him change into a paladin. Would have been great character development. His father was a warrior and Anduin a priest. Turning him into a paladin would for me symbolise that he started to acknowledge his fathers viewpoint and become something in between his past self and his father. He still embraces the light, but he also knows there are times when he needs to get his hands dirty and fight to protect what he loves. Edit: Especially when you consider Varian's last cinematic. Anduin, I now believe as you do. That peace is the noblest aspiration. Since his father was starting to understand his son, it would be nice to see Anduin starting to understand his father. Which he does, but making him a paladin would represent that better imo.

[@BaskingInObscurity]

…and still trying a bit hard to live up to his father's image. I love this scene for how the light in the sword reminds him he's not a warrior (strength stat), he's not his father, the Light there is for him. Then Anduin drops the sword, followed by an awesome demonstration of his power through the Light and his value to his troops. It's pretty awesome, also the first time we see this spell, which I believe Discipline priests got starting that xpac. Since NPCs are not bound by the same class and spec constraints as player characters, I wonder if Anduin is (maybe was) morphing into a paladin. His having to fight by the sword without the little light perhaps provides the lore for it, as if combining warrior and priest, which kinda sounds like a paladin. All presuming he finds his Light again, which I think he will, possibly through Shadow, again a cool lore arc, if so.

[@Kjetilstorm]

Put a Paladin is just a warrior that can read or priest that can hold a sword. In the lore it doesn't specify it has to be warrior to priest, so there is no reason to assume it couldn't go in reverse.

[@DeeFourCee]

@@Kjetilstorm point being, anduin uses priest abilities. Not paladin abilities. And can use shadow abilities. Something paladin cant. You can think of Priests as someone who harnesses the power of the light through prayer but Paladins as someone who becomes a conduit for the light. They give their very being to the light. They embody it. Their convictions must be steadfast and they must deem what they are doing as true and just or the light will not answer them. When Tirion fell, the light failed him because he started to believe he couldn’t win.

[@Kjetilstorm]

@@DeeFourCee A priest fighting with melee on the battlefied fortifying himself and others with buffs wearing plate armour in no way remotely resembles a paladin to you? Interesting.

[@amyfriesen8544]

The light being shown in the sword is important because the last we saw it in action was with his father. Then it was powered with a warriors rage so that light was red. Anduins light altered it with his light.

[@semi6544]

The scream Sylvannas does is a move in the game called Blood Lust. The light Anduin called down is a move the Priests have in the game as well.

[@lordmortarius538]

Mass Resurrection

[@Schied]

That is an interesting take you had (that he is in disbelief) on his look as he is channeling the light and looking into the sky. Personally, I like to think that his expression as he looks into the light and begins to tear up is because he is witnessing something so beautiful, it can't be put into words. If you look closely, he almost trembles as he channels. As if this heavy power, this expression of pure goodness is almost too much for him and it causes him to ever so slightly waver.

[@muneyotsuki8164]

Yeah, this dude just doesn't know what he's talking about at all. You are correct.

[@Icosiol]

I will note that this cinematic is the only one you had to immediately watch again after the first viewing. This is why it’s the best WoW cinematic ever. It is perfection.

[@unluckeh]

It makes me so angry when people say Anduin's a paladin! He's a PRIEST

[@do0ranfrump260]

However, we in the Paladin Holy Order don't mind that much.

[@Lironah]

That banshee scream actually buffs her allies and debuffs her enemies at the same time.

[@jd802north]

Lore wise it kills everyone around her, one shot.

[@viper9833]

That’s gameplay wise, not lore wise. Lorewise the banshee scream kills everyone in a rather enormous radius.

[@Heimdallr1789]

If she loved this, she will go crazy for Shadowlands cinematic

[@BaskingInObscurity]

If you aren't already, Aliya, you SHOULD be a voice actor. You sound great and emote vocally very well. Horde architecture tends to be orcish, which remains awfully small-village and out of place a lot of the time. Alliance architectures tend toward more stately and grandiose, except for Night Elf, which has a lot of warrens and trees and uninteresting stone buildings that look like decrepit concrete structures-mind you I LOVE the tree stuff, nutjob, treehugging druid-all-day that I am. Please finish Varok' Sauerfang's series of cutscenes and critical in-game conversations, if you haven't already, before moving on to Shadowlands. He deserves it, and it's important for further understanding Sylvanas and her story arc. Apologies if I missed it for not having watched all the multi-hour videos. Attention span issues, even at 1.25 speed. :)

[@clauslarsen8971]

She seems like such a gentle soul. And obviously stunning(respectfully)

[@hobosnake1]

Yall are a cute couple! Love that you guys are both so in tune with the art. You respect it and you're not even coming from the warcraft player perspective. A lot of people just write warcraft off as some comic book-y teen fantasy thing. It has a lot of depth and also hits some of those comic-y marks in my opinion. A great balance of levity and raw humanity.

[@wrecknor]

6:48 Same happened to Thrall and the Doomhammer. (Epic lore weapon of the Horde and Relic weapon of Legion Expansion) after Thrall stopped believing in himself after "cheating" using Shamanistic Magic in a Mak'gora duel in Warlords of Draenor between Thrall and Garrosh. The Shadowlands cinematics will show you what happened to Anduin. Please do them.

[@bartonabrams3433]

You should have her watch the wrath of the lich king cinematic. It’s probably the most personal one since it’s only dealing with one character

[@gozexthelost4951]

To see this through someone who is learning.. man it gives a whole new perspective on the game I love.

[@FrostyWoW]

Anduin is actually a priest. He took on his fathers sword after he died, so he looks like a paladin. He SHOULD be a paladin. lol Maybe he will next expansion.

[@ZakhadWOW]

considering he has already been seen in prophecy as the Leader of the MASS UNIFIED ARMY OF LIGHT to fight the ultimate army of the VOid, he will NOT be changing class. More importantly, Core lead NPCs arent bound by the meta restrictions of the PCs.

[@FrostyWoW]

@@ZakhadWOW doesnt mean they cant change their class. Thrall was a warrior that became a shaman.

[@jimhagglof217]

i mean she definately needs to see the whole breaking of anduin saga to see the things, on the note of being in the fandom etc, when wow first started anduin was a child king etc so as a character hes literally grown up with the players. Also on the note of swords Frostmourne says hi :P

[@wildtj4714]

She's STUNNING... u can't make reactions like that dude, she covers the whole screen with perfection

[@PsycHoOone]

It's not Anduins sword, it's his fathers sword. He's not a Paladin, but a Priest. He carries this weight (Armor, needing to be a king, follow his father's way, using his weapon as a Warrior) and literally drops it in this cinematic. He does what Sylvanas said in the first minute of this cinematic: "We have forgotten what makes us strong."...he let's go of all the burden and everything that is expected by him and turns back on what was always with him and strong within him: the light! He is a born Priest, he is a mighty one, too and I love how he turned Sylvanas' words into action in this cinematic!

[@JustAdriana]

"Always check in on your healers", I love her already.

[@LaDiablaBlanc]

I love that, “always check in on your healers”

[@martynjohns834]

Sylvanas usually refers to Anduin as "little lion" Its quite endearing the way she speaks to him 1-2-1

[@jimscholten1713]

Holy hell, i watched the cinematic about 100+ time bus never knew or saw that saurfang was the one that smacking anduin down. Lol makes so much more sense

[@Celticshade]

fun fact, anduin isnt actually a paladin. hes a priest/cleric.

[@IamDeathIncarnate1337]

I never get sick of that music. from zero to absolutely epic in a few seconds. still my favourite!

[@illw1ll498]

The Healers Alliance approves this video!

She's so pretty. Great reaction. Great attention to detail. Great entertainment. You win the universe friend.

Paladins have an other side, they heal but they can be weapon of mass destruction ⚡🌞

[@semi6544]

Have you guys watched the cut scene of the world being stabbed?

[@Bennn24]

Did you react to "Harbingers: Gul`dan" so far?

[@farshadbagheri9203]

btw he was priest not paladin

[@muneyotsuki8164]

He's a priest. He's casting mass resurrection. Please just stay quiet when someone new is reacting, so they can get the same experience you had?

[@omgitsradon]

I would love to see you react to the Inarius vs Lillith cinematic from Diablo IV! It's one of the best cinematics I've ever seen.

[@longshot8052]

my question is have you both started playing world of warcraft

[@KhunDet]

Is Anduin a paladin? I thought he a priest as it on Wowpedia. Now I’m confused.

[@MM-es1cl]

I like your content so please take this as constructive criticism. You talked over everything as she was trying to watch it. The whole point of a reaction is experiencing something for the first time and processing what you're seeing for yourself Without someone else's commentary. My two cents, if you do this again just let her watch uninterrupted and talk about it after.

[@killahherb]

you need to watch Cinematic: “Reckoning”

[@squidlicious8449]

So why haven't you done the one for Shadowlands?

[@Corfield81]

Anduin is a Priest not a Paladin btw

have u ever been told why Sylvanas is creating all this caos? coz there IS a reason, and it's quite clever...

Anduin is cheating. You can't do mass rez while in combat.

[@makearunat]

I see that someone also has a weakness for them lovely curls 😁 Edit: I was told by my 'lovely creature' to add that I, much like you, is also a guy with long hair however my cinematographic experience, unlike yours, is very much none existent

[@calabothegrt]

it takes away from her initial reaction with you narrating everything.

[@olgak1439]

I just cant believe how beautiful your gf is

[@bipbopdid]

stop explaining everything bro. let her watch :)

[@PhilipHarts]

I was just trying to get her hooked by giving some context, next time she’ll be ready 🔥🔥

[@KiuanTroll]

No disrespect, just a feedback: I love react content but for some reason u guys remind me of those ads for mobile games where a fake streamer is reacting to the "awesome mobile game" when u react, i dont feel like yall really care about what u are watching, it feels fake.

Why does he pretend like he hasn't seen the things he shows her? Makes his reactions seem disingenuous.

[@Morrohg]

huh? He explains her everything while the Cinematic is playing?

[@PhilipHarts]

????? I was explaining who the characters are to her and what’s happening

[@SomethingScotty]

@@PhilipHarts First I'll just say that I am sorry. The comment wasn't my proudest moment. I broke my fang tooth in half Saturday and had to deal with the pain all weekend, and when I'm in that level of pain I get super mean/rude/whathaveyou. It's not an excuse, and it's not a part of me I'm proud of, but I am who I am and I don't know how to change. So providing I'm not shadow banned, which would be understandable, I'll say again, I am sorry.
