So I've never done a live reaction to a trailer before
and I thought it would be fun to do my very first
with the new trailer for Warcraft
because it's supposed to be absolutely insane, right?!
I mean just from that sixteen second teaser from earlier in the week
it looked SUPER COOL
like something that would definitely elicit a reaction!
Also I was watching the BlizzCon live feed
before this dropped, and they
sucked me into the excitement!
Also - I also thought it would be interesting to have a live reaction from me because
I'm NOT a player.
I do know a little bit about Warcraft
because I've written manga for it.
You can see one of the covers for one of the
stories that I did write for the brand.
And I've done some research into it not only for writing that
but for covering the movie
but I've never played the game.
So I thought that would be fun as well!
But I will tell you that Medivh is who
I'm looking forward to seeing the most,
I'm hoping he's going to go FULL MAGIC
so that's what I'm most anticipating
in this trailer!
Alright, so HERE. WE. GO!
First time I'm seeing this!
Okay...
I was like "Is it playing?!"
Oooh, Universal...
Blizzard...
...very much involved in this.
Alright...
Very Lord of the Rings.
VERY Lord of the Rings.
That's Viggo Mortensen lite there.
That looks cool.
That looks great.
Those are orcs - I KNOW! Ask me!
Okay...
Holy Exposition, Batman!
Ah, that's - is that?
That must be, uh -
Paula Patton's character.
There she is grown up.
Show me some magic!
Okay...
I'm getting like a He-Man vibe a little bit for some reason...
Racism, and y'know -
race warfare comes to
to Azeroth!
Paula Patton looks a lot cooler than I thought she would
as an Orc princess.
Orc-Moses...
They're teaming up apparently.
That's - I love that!
That's from the teaser - he goes barefoot!
How hardcore is that?!
I feel though - I feel the same way.
Like if you're gonna do it, do it now.
And that's like, amaze me with the trailer
aaaand, uh, I don't know.
No Medivh!
That's so ridiculous!
That's so crazy, I can't believe there's no Medivh.
I'm a little disappointed in that actually!
And there was really no magic shown besides
like the green glow which I think
to some degree is supposed to be the doorway
between the two worlds that brings the orcs to the human world
which is Azeroth.
So it's more Lord of the Rings than I would've liked.
I think that this trailer ended up playing it safe
uh, which is a little disappointing.
But I think not too surprising.
We know from some of the coverage
about what's going on between Universal and Legendary
that Universal is worried about this movie -
they don't trust it.
And so...
I guess they don't trust the moviegoers either!
I don't know! I would've gone for more shock and awe.
I thought this was going to just be full of amazing stuff
and - it's impressive, the visual effects
are amazing, but this has been a 3-4 year wait at this point
they've been bringing it again and again to Comic Con
I expected a little bit more, um...
a little bit more razzle dazzle.
But I'm going to be going through this, the usual coverage
but I just wanted to do a live reaction - I hope you enjoyed it!
I hope you enjoyed watching this trailer with me
and you can check out some other episodes - right now!
