Before you continue reading, You should be aware that there are heavy spoilers below for the WoW 10.2 campaign and the Amirdrassil raid ending. Shortly after Amirdrassil opened, we summarized the community’s reactions to the cinematics. As so often happens, these are numerous and bring a lot of criticism. Anyone who has followed the Race to World First live streams probably already knows what this means.
Because WoW’s latest cinematics (buy now ) Patch 10.2 is sometimes more reminiscent of Fast and Furious or Avengers than Blizzard’s RPG tradition. You can see what this is about in the following collection of memes.
“Coming together as a family”

In addition to cars, the word “family” plays a particularly important role in the Fast and Furious series. Vin Diesel or his character Dominic Toretto use the word in a very inflationary way in the films and in the most moving scenes. Regardless of whether your car is swinging from a helicopter or your vehicle is launched into space: what counts is the family’s solidarity…

The family meme has therefore been used online to mock him for years. The cinematic at the end of Amirdrassil is very reminiscent of a speech that could have come from Vin Diesel instead of Kalecgos and Alexstrasza. “Cringe”, as many in the WoW community think. The Echo Twitch stream recognized this immediately, as you can see above.

For some, Amirdrassil’s ending surpasses even N’Zoth’s lackluster death in Ny’alotha. And that means something.

The reunion of important characters also played an important role during the Emerald Dream campaign (from 3:40 in the video above). Just before we repelled Fyrakk, characters like Thrall, Velen, Mekkatorque, and Jaina, along with dragon aspects and other lore figures, suddenly gathered to face Fyrakk. The scene looks a lot like something out of a Disney movie.

WoW Avengers has arrived, which is also accompanied by music. The question arises of where Velen, Jaina, Thrall and company were all the time before this. Their presence seems strange, they almost seem like foreign bodies. However, the video sequence is complemented by the fact that Azeroth’s most powerful mages and warriors appear not to have drunk any target water and largely miss Fyrakk in their attacks.

Fyrakk’s character development in WoW Patch 10.2 is also too shallow for some players. As much as we like the simpler stories after the jailer’s story, Fyrakk doesn’t matter at the end of Dragonflight.
Alexstrasza says that he once fought for a noble cause and now he only seeks power. Fyrakk’s response to this is: True. And that was it.
As always, many memes were created at the end of a WoW expansion and once again disappointment with what we saw predominates. The WoW developers can’t seem to please us, the players. Do you think the cinematics from patch 10.2 or Amirdrassil also “shrink”. What would you like at the end of the addon? We look forward to your comments.
