"Keep in mind that it could be a fake, it's not "that" hard to get the 2.4 running on an emulated server and spawn Kil'jaeden, in this case his scale on live servers could be different," warns Boubouille.
Kil'jaeden the Deceiver, as we all know, is the eredar Supreme Commander of the Burning Legion, perhaps only second to Sargeras in the badass pecking order. With his appearance in-game and a chance for 25 intrepid mortals to "take him down", the lore implications are interesting. Granted, we only get to deal with "half" of him (the rest of him is submerged in the Sunwell), but lore-inclined raiders will certainly be itching to take a shot at him, at least until Arthas/Ner'Zhul/the Lich King makes an appearance in WoTLK.
I'm not certain of the authenticity of the screenshot myself, but Killie definitely looks constipated and evil enough here to be the real deal.

He looks cool.
Out of the 3 legion baddies i've always liked Kil'jaeden more and i'm glad that they're doing him in a way that looks great. I just hope if they add avheena (sorry for spelling) they dont make into an overplayed soapie ;p

I doubt that this screenshots is real as even in WMV, Kil'jaeden and the "water" surrounding him have a lot of glowing, shiny "sun stuff" on and around them.

I have to agree that the lighting is definitely off. Pretty much every image we have seen of the Sunwell it is glowing a bright yellow light, wouldn't Big Bad Killy J be lit from below instead of from above?
It is still possible that it may be a legit screen shot, but from an early, early test before they started to add the lighting and polish.

Looks like an evil, angry version of Hellboy. Not that that is a bad thing.

So, since he stays in the well up to his waist, he probably won't drop any epic pants or boots.

Eh, you don't kill him. He's mid-summon right there. In fact his "death" animation isn't so much a death as him getting sucked back through the portal. So you just banish the super powerful evil. again.
I'm getting a little tired of this "you can kill 'em because they aren't at full power!" excuse. Ragnaros, C'Thun, Kil'Jaeden...

Is "25 mortals can kill a god" any better?

Technically, he's not a god, he's a demon. But the same principle still applies, 25 mortals killing an immortal demon.

Why is Kil'jaden red and Archimonde is blue? They were both Eredar at one point right?

So you can't have people of different skin tones?

Well, it seems all the Eredar were/are some shade of blue, and Kil'Jaden isn't.

Sweeeet!
WoWwiki has a transcript of the dialog that happens during the Kil'Jaeden encounter, and reading through it, seeing all these pictures and videos of Kil'Jaeden moving around and stuff, really gets me excited. I can not wait to see what the encounter will be like, it seems epic.
