Blizzard’s marketing team is to be congratulated, as you said, whether you like it or not, they know what they’re doing… as for the other teams

Or if she was possessed and made into a new boss you had to down, like her mother, would be cool and brutal for both going the same way

Graphically looked nice. Music did feel off.

Apart from the out of place music, very nice trailer actually.
I also see that Blizz will be allowing about a dozen “content creators” play the full expansion before it goes live on Oct 8th.
The music at the end just didnt fit. They would have been better of using carmin burena or something else classical with a horror feel. Heck, nightmare on elm street theme would have been better than…whatever that nails on chalkboard was.
Can someone translate this for me? All I see is complete nonsense.
Enforce shift?
Who are costumers?
What is yor?
This guy is really struggling to get a coherent thought together

Yes S8 was hot garbage, but Dani’s arc had a great ending.
Hound’s arc was the best tho.
Critical Drinkers critique of the show had me rofl so hard.
It’s a well made video for a certain kind of audience, and a total disaster for others
Personally not a fan at all. That “Imagine Dragons” model/theme and the not even Hollywood but exactly Marvel/Born kinda deal - not a fan
Is the game gonna be good ?, yeah, I guess it’s finally got an identity that seems to work as intended (for some), just not my cup of tea tbh
Though must admit I do dig Mephisto 
do you mean butcher the source material and then become so inept that the last season was just long glances and panoramic air shots of people standing still not talking? or something else?

Yea last season was terrible, I loved Arya as a character (named my daughter after her, no joke), but the Night King was supposed to be John’s kill.
there were so many cool theories that were just better than what the show gave in the end hahaha

Nah, this was pretty cookie cutter and was a little off genre with the music number. Whoever directed it wasn’t bad but you can clearly tell their past experience was in e-sport high octane games like OW, Apex, etc.
Yeah those two showrunners were basically phoning it in. Funny part is because they did such a terrible job with the final season they lost their other lined up projects that they rushed GoT to start.
Not to say their concept was bad. It really wasn’t. Danni going crazy could have worked but she needed a full season of slowly turning into that monster. But instead we had her snap mid battle and just start torching the civilians and burning the infrastructure for no reason.
But things like that whole Winterfell battle vs the Night King was just bad. Who the hell uses light cavalry like that? Why are their fortifications so poorly placed that it actually causes grief for their planned retreats? Why wasn’t the crypt secured properly considering there’s dead in the crypt and the Night King raises the dead?
GoT needed 1 more season to pull off evil Danni and give a proper conclusion to the Night king arc. Not the crap they came up with.

Who gives a sh*t about a music in an expansion trailer? Why isnt anyone talking about how they have no clue how to develop a diablo game?
Because there’s plenty of other topics on that very subject? Come on buddy stick with the program. This topic is strictly on the trailer. You can complain about the developers in the other topics that pop up every hour.

Trailer looks great. I am ready.
“Well made” is a bit much for what’s basically game & cinematic clips laid onto a song. The info cards in between are basic. This isn’t innovative or very interesting as an overall presentation. It’s adequate, it gets people talking.
Some visual details are interesting, only bc they’re new to us. But that’s the artists’ work, not the trailer producer. The editing job + the choice of music screams “I got familiar with Diablo when I got hired a month ago”. 
The song itself is not bad (a bit cloying whenever the instrumentals are muted… doesn’t add tension, but rather feels awkward.)
Could’ve been a lot cooler ofc, no doubt about it.
Mephisto looking gross & menacing 
at least when he’s first walking up… is that also him at 1:47? I suspect it is bc look what happens at 1:33… that mouth effect instantly reminds me of Little Shop of Horrors or more like Demogorgon. 
(Also, I’m quite sick of “monster stops to scream into your face” Hollywood trope… gen-z/alpha please watch some good movies. Please. For humanity.)
Uhm… not much else to say. The fade-out synth effect sounds v nice.
5/10. Mid but not horrible.
100% spot on. Light cavalry are for flanking, “hammer and anvil”, and chasing down routs.

Disclaimer: thread relevance is “how a subject matter is executed authentically, or not”.
The author could confirm/deny that… has he?
And I would think it’s a powerful callback if it’s Arya’s kill because Needle (Jon’s gift to her) & his instructions (“stick them with the pointy end”) have been her mantra for the entire in-between time, from the moment Ilyn Payne swung his sword to the moment she’s back in the North for the final confrontation. If you look at the arc of events from the perspective of a weirwood tree (or a 3 eyed crow), this both makes sense & was always meant to be. Author might’ve executed it more poignantly (may yet, if he doesn’t die before finishing, and if his writing gets back to what it was).
(Added: the significance of the weirwoods unfolds in an ingenious way in the books - but might’ve been impossible to replicate in a tv show… It’s the beating heart of the story & alters one’s perception of all other events. The showrunners had to cut it almost entirely, including significant minor characters like the Children of the Forest. The events in the show are almost like the dew on a meadow.)
Also, my strong impression is that Jon was written as a blank canvas: aside from his adventures on the Wall (so we get to know the Wall) and in the northern wilds (so we get to know the wildlings), GRRM wrote him as a kind of dunce to whom things just “happen”. Which I thought was very unusual because all his other male chars are well fleshed out 
, and it’s his women who are awkwardly written (as if he can’t “think like a woman”) except maybe Brienne & the Queen of Thorns… which is consistent (one is butch, the other is super old). Jon was very much a mimbo & quite a boring character who got into exciting escapades. He just seems a bit more interesting in the show. The downside of stardom. I doubt he was meant to carry the day.
( Except Robb, another flat character, and look what his destiny was.)
Maybe so. I read the 5 available books first & then binged the whole show… and this aspect didn’t feel wanting. Probably binging it gives a different sense of pacing - but probably I picked up subtleties in the acting that weren’t made explicit enough for the audience.
The many hints that this was going to happen were scattered over several years, particularly in confrontations with Tyrion… it’s just that the show is truncated & each glance & each line had to carry more weight on its own. Also… she became an item of fetishization to the audience, and there are underlying prejudices about “pretty damsels who never grimace menacingly at the camera to let you know they’re actually messed up”, and… yeah, a misfire by the showrunners ultimately.
Then again, the audience shouldn’t insist on their personal fantasy. A person can appear to suddenly snap & go mad, and there were plenty of warnings that her (incestuous) genes would catch up to her.
