The arrival of a new patch used to be noted with a simple entry on the update page of the WoW's site. Now, it's heralded with its own movie trailer. Blizzard has released a short trailer exploring the story behind Patch 2.3's Zul'Aman and challenging the players with: "This is our land. You wanna stay? You stay here forever. We gonna bury you here."
It's a well done trailer, especially the camera moves, sound design and music composition. But am I the only one who thought the montage of the Zul'Aman gods at the end was a little...Power Rangerseque?
Previously on Moviewatch...
EDIT: Oops, this was already featured yesterday on our site. Ah well, for those of you who missed it, here it is. For those of you who saw it yesterday, see it again for the first time. And I still stand by my Power Rangers comment.

...Did you just say you thought trolls came from elves? It's actually the other way around. Night Elves are "mutated" Trolls.
Sorry, I had to...

I feel kind of bad going after the trolls. I keep getting the feeling like I'm fighting on the wrong side.

The Elves came from trolls is the speculation from the books.

actually i think the end of that trailer is the best preview ever... somehow they took something that could be very cliche and made it sound cool as hell.

Why is Blizz constantly cramming Trolls down our throats? Oh, and way to give BE's a half-ass storyline that makes no sense. Try giving us something refreshing and quaint, like a Tauren instance or something!
