World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Cinematic Trailer

This is the official cinematic trailer for World of Warcraft's third expansion, Cataclysm. The original description for the content featured in this expansion is below. The full overview can be found here: battle.net/wow/en/game/patch-n...
Without warning, the corrupted Dragon Aspect, Deathwing, erupts from the stone heart of Deepholm, the domain of earth within the Elemental Plane. Jagged fissures are torn across the earth, and monstrous waves pummel coastal regions. From Thousand Needles to the Blasted Lands, the surface of Azeroth is reforged through violent upheavals. Now, the Horde and the Alliance must defend their homes against Deathwing and his minions, burdened by the unsettling fact that the world as they know it has changed... forever.

When a depressive black dragon does more damage to a planet than Sargeras himself..

[@cxyte814]

Deathwing was a villain when WoW was a normal game and bosses had impact on the story/lore Sargeras was the main villain when WoW was an anime starring Illiadin

[@FabbrizioPlays]

@@cxyte814 Okay, but Legion was the better expansion. Everything Cata did right with Deathwing starts and ends with this cinematic. Dragon Soul might be the worst raid in the game. And so many leveling quests in the post-Cata 1-60 zones are easily broken by normal gameplay (looking at you, Horde-side Ashenvale on druid). The only good thing Cata really gave us was the Worgen starting zone. Legion on the other hand had incredible class fantasy, some of the best raids to date, and consistently beefy patches at frequent intervals. Remember Suramar? Remember getting basically an entire expansion's worth of new story to accompany the new zone? I don't think any patch ever has or will rival how fantastic it was to get Suramar mid-xpac.

[@FabbrizioPlays]

@unknowning unknown I sure didn't mean that, because we didn't fight Archimonde in Legion. You're thinking of Hellfire Citadel in WoD.

[@andrehanisch1327]

Keep in mind that deathwing was not depressed but driven mad by the same people who drove sargeras mad so they work for the same team but neltharion was already on azeroth while sargeras first had to find a way to azeroth so I think it's no surprise neltharion could do more damage ^^

As a non-player, this is probably my favorite WoW cinematic. Several reasons why. - I'm a sucker for orchestral music that's aggressive and relentless; this one hits both without breaking a sweat. - Deathwing's roar is distinct, an accomplishment I feel is pretty rare these days. If this played during a commercial, I'd recognize that sound immediately. - I love the fact the trailer doesn't present us with a character so much as a force of nature. This is meant to showcase an event and it *feels* like it. - The color palette is brilliant, notably how they juxtapose the soft colors of sunset with the hellish light of Deathwing. - The cinematography is stellar, unabashedly cinematic and visceral to a fault; there's undeniable size, weight, and power to what's unfolding.

Deathwing used to be fun to hang around with. He and his buddies Alduin and Smaug would go out, raze a few villages, smoke some Old Toby, mock Ur Dragon for being so unpopular and Ender Dragon for being so blocky, pretty much enjoying being dragons. Ever since he got rich from Cataclysm he thinks he's too good for them and would rather leave them hanging to be Blue Eyes' plus one to the KaibaCorp soiree. Alduin felt betrayed and vented by trying to eat Tamriel while Smaug became a recluse in someone else's home. No one has heard from them since.

[@atomskthepirateking2776]

This is before the expansion released so top raid guilds are still level 80 with WotLK gear. They'd be the ones getting owned.

Arthas Menethil True... but even then, there'd be so many of them it'd be the equivalent of that "40 level 1's vs Hogger" video; they killed him through sheer numbers

[@greyfox6506]

MrZeromaster95 Exactly, only the dragon soul can really destroy deathwing. Also, he is at his peak power in this cinematic while in the raid, he was already somewhat injured and weakened by Alexstraza.

[@ChainsawGutsFuck]

***** I never compared Deathwing to Hogger, but I did compare the scenario of 40 level 1 Gnomes being able to kill Hogger (a level 11 Elite) to Deathwing landing in Stormwind City, facing the resulting appearance of the server raid Guilds. Sure they wouldn't have the Dragon Soul to ultimately "kill" him, but with 10 raid Guilds on his ass (considering one can successfully defeat him) he would be subdued enough for Thrall and the Dragon Aspects to bring the Dragon Soul and sort him out.

[@DT-267K]

It's not so much hot metal attaching to his skin than it is a giant metal bandage forcibly holding his form together for the first time in eons. Ever since his first use of the Dragon Soul caused his body to practically rip itself apart from the fiery corruption now perpetually burning within him, he is in a state of eternal agony. Having that one strip of metal get seared across his sundered flesh probably added to the pain.

You can't hate blizzard trailers. That's one thing they probably never fail. They are just good or less good, like burning crusade, maybe. I just didn't like they way they rolled, after that, entire trailers were about the story.

[@straypaws6339]

GOD it’s been years since I’ve seen this cinematic and it’s still stunning

[@alexandrospapadopoulos4297]

Deathwing vs Smaug? Let me just remind you one of his abilities: Cataclysm: Deathwing is trying to finish the job he started by bringing forth a second Cataclysm, inflicting 1.462.500 to 1.537.500 Fire damage to all enemies. Lets also see their weaknesses: Deathwing: Dragon Soul, a weapon 10.000 years old that he forged himself in order to destroy the other dragons. It holds the power of the other four Dragon Aspects. In terms of power, the Dragon Soul is the Death Star (from Star Wars) of World of Warcraft. He dies while under assault from an Alliance Gunship, 25 heroes, the Dragon Soul, the other four Dragon Aspects and Thrall. Smaug: Two black arrows....

[@FinalWingz]

Who the fuck cares!?

[@alexandrospapadopoulos4297]

if you read the comments you will see that a lot of people are debating on this one

[@Devantedavis313]

Damn he has a point, two black arrows lol.

[@Top10Dudes]

stop comparing please, and remember that tolkien is the father of all fantasy, without him and his smaug there wouldnt be any deathwing

[@Devantedavis313]

InfiniteHD and MacMarco You're sort of comparing creators now lol. Without other things there wouldn't be a Smaug! But you are right, I don't think others should compare two great ideas.

[@Galejro]

0:00 = 0:30 Basically what I feel when grinding XD

[@Matty94]

+Galejro hahaha nice!

[@theinsfrijonds]

+Galejro Being a tank was incredible during Cata's pre-nerf launch! Instant queues with bonuses at select times (the longest I waited for a queue was 5 minutes at 3 a.m. for a specific dungeon.) I geared up so quickly and had so much more skill than the majority of tanks. Back then, skilled accounted for something. It was this BS Candy Crush Saga "check all the right boxes" game design that's compatible with the majority of people. There was a gradient of skill that you progressed through and you were thanked by your raid and your 5-man dungeon content (the latter of which remained relevant through pre-nerf unlike the new 5-mans.)

[@paleface171]

+Galejro Or when you are sitting through an expansion drought?

[@jordick8427]

+Galejro 0:00 - 0:30 Basically what I feel towards Blizzard when I learned that the last Deathwing encounter would be a fight against some tentacles instead of the actual dragon himself. Sure, the old gods did corrupt him and made him more...tentaclish(?), but the outcome was quite different what I was expecting when they first revealed the Cataclysm expansion and its antagonist.

[@diesel581]

+Galejro I feel that way to. Also when Blizz give EVERY class a heal, movement boost, stuns after stuns, stealth, abilities to slow others down. And especially making this game able to play easy for 5 year olds. Only good xpacs were BC and WotLK. When Cata came out the game has been going down the drain. And now its going down it even faster.

[@krazzedk9551]

this is way better than the new trailer.

[@carlosjohn5546]

Agree, but it's the best classic trailer ever made, hands down for Hurricane

[@ironshield710]

[@TheHeavyDestroyer]

He isnt :p

[@lordchapelseed791]

I said MIGHT, and that's only IF the movie does well

If there is a sequel, it will be thrall. Although I wouldn't mind Deathwing.

[@Tho-mas888]

or the LK

[@Ghost3210]

Why not about Thrall and Deathwing? That's the Warcraft Adventure turned into a movie xD

While the expansion was polarizing, Deathwing is arguably the best looking character Blizzard has ever designed for WoW.

[@doomcorrupted]

As somebody who played cata literally a hour after launch, I don't understand the hate for the expansion. Content was challenging 2 new races Questing reworked and many more.

[@Ebodrac]

A lot of people had max characters so the questing revamp was "lost content" to them and the last raid tier the last 2 fights sucked

[@Nervakis]

+DoomCorrupted I stopped because of the removal of talent tree mixing

[@Zangetzu419]

+DoomCorrupted People have their own reasons for it. Sad as it is, there's nothing we can do to get people to change their minds. It's their choice weather to like something or not.

[@ButtTrauma]

+Nervakis I honestly believe if the talents were not changed then it would've gotten a lot less hate. Whether you think it was a good or bad thing to do doesn't matter. The change to the core of all the classes put a lot of people off. Classes changed from xpac to xpac before; but the biggest leap happened from Wrath to Cata imo.

[@MayronDev]

+DoomCorrupted I actually liked it a lot except dragon soul which I hate so much.

[@-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-...-]

I've had multiple nightmares about Deathwing breaking through my wall and melting me alive with fire, absolutely terrifying. Hope we get a dragon boss soon. Cata was the best they've done of having an end boss feel like a threat constantly.
