Didn’t they write several? All I have heard is that Blizzard put a lot of time into all the Lore of the game so won’t the stories be just as detailed?

​@@scarletangel9462 Pandaria is still the best piece of original lore they ever written

this is based on a taoist legend? can you tell me more about it?

@@galvania well it's rather inspired from it. it's called Journey to the West

@@crighi6631 isn't journey to the West a Buddhist story rather than Taoist ? Since it explains the arrival of Buddhism to China

@@CatroiOz You are correct, my bad. Thank you

Me too 😂

that's how you know they truly told a timeless story.

+NRYoung14 Pandaria was the perfect perfect personal story, not the best group experience.

azeroth never felt as alive as in mop

every expansion had atleast something going for it

welcome back :)

haha yes alexander yes ! indeed seek wisdom in your real life always remember you are here on this earth to seek it and spread it !

I love this comment.

It’s not lost … you are

so true. good thing is at the beginning

It actually had another name during the beta.

@@cranapple3367 What was it?

@@beastmaster0934 i can't recall - that was like ten years ago - but i remember seeing they'd changed it and being disappointed

Indeed. His voice was perfect for this.

They're both chinese and they both have pandas that can fight as far as I'm concerned that's where the similarities end. Kung fu panda was a good movie but it didnt teach me about strength, wisdom, courage, fortitude and hope like MoP did. The strongest I've ever been mentally and spiritually was during MoP the shas of fear, doubt, anger, hatred, and pride weren't just bosses to be defeated in wow but inside myself aswell.

Kung Fu Panda ripped off Tai Fu: Wrath of the Tiger. An awesome PlayStation 1 game.

These are inspired from generations of traditional Chinese and asian philosophies. No movie or videogame can take credit of "inventing" them

The biggest twist of Shaohao's story is that "the power within" is actually his final burden, the Sha of Pride. It's what creates the mists surrounding Pandaria.

Panderen have been a thing way before kung fu panda came out. The movie just came out before mists of pandaria did. I never played them but from my understanding, pandaren were in warcraft 3. Trust me I thought the exact same thing when I first saw the mop cinematic.

War is a big part of the story in MoP, and also in the Burdens of Shaohao. The difference here is that the pandas choose to stay out of it, and that indeed is refreshing.

I don't think that is shaohao's pride. His pride is that only his sacrifice could save his land and his people. "I am the heart of Pandaria" is his pride. And did it not help and protect Pandaria in the end? Shield it from the senseless killing and demons, and old gods, until the mists were lifted and all hell broke loose in the land of course

@@moscanaveia there's an entire quest line about how Shaohao failed to defeat Pride. His pride was thinking his people were better then the other races.

wow... i self relate alot to this and you are true... thats my pitfall in somewhat sense

IKR like they need to make a movie about the pandarias like holly shit id see it like 100 times bruh

Ive said the same thing. They could easily make this a full feature stand alone that people that barely play or have never played wow could enjoy. I would definitely go to the theater to see jt.

I was confused, but then I remembered that the Jinyu were originally Murlocs that were magically evolved by the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.

Legion has felsworn murlocs. They even have wings and horns, like the metamorphed demon hunters. I think it's a nice touch XD

Do they? Tauren, goblins, blood elves, and the Huojin pandas. More than half of the Horde doesn't do the orc rage thing by the time of MoP, and more in later expansions.

Well thats what absolute justice means

You got that right! Also, glad to meet a fellow One Piece fan

Very random comment

before the WoD... yes... but they totaly ruined it with warlords...

Except Game of Thrones, it is on par with WC.

it's nice but don't be silly now

Haos Picke Ludilo no one can better from tolkien

Zrikk warlords wasn’t even a bad story

Dana Fuentes Ha! Miss of Pandaria

Weird coming from varian xD

WoW started relealsing these shorts as a sort of story tie in. Pandaria, Warlords, Legion, BFA, Shadowlands and even Dragonflight hhave their own "Lords of War" cinematics. They're even in game! The Burdens and Lords of War cinematics aren't but from Legion Onwards certain interactable objects or events/quests played them. Like at the en of the DH cinematic you get that kick ass Illidan cinematic same with Dracthyr and their cinematics in their leveling zone.

Donny Lurch through 10000 years, stories may change a little each time they are recalled, the essential part I think it is still there, shaohao may not have simply turned himself into mist but the journey he made to find the answers is there. The sacrifice he made to save his people is true, he used the staff of mists to save everyone giving up his life energy.

Honestly ye, what Ionut Gherber said. Its a story changed through times, with many exaggerations such as the monkey king being blown away with the wind. So its not necessary that blizz retconned it. more over told another part of the story, may it be another version or an update to the previous story, because the lorewalkers found something to justify the change.

@@BjornTurambar Almost like this is a myth as it would be told by a modern time pandaren. I hate it when people expect storytelling within game to always be accurate and not be a reflection of the beliefs and interpretations of the societies that tell them

It will be ok. Everything will be ok 😁. Chill

Having a morbid sense of humour you mean your casket within the land right?

I dont really understand your question, but i´m gonna try my best to clearify what i meant. The whole MOP expansion was based on Eastern philosophy, and from my speculation it´s based on the the " Taoism Philosophy " specifically. After the emperor had conquered all of his insecurities, the last episode which was about the legion invading Pandaria. The people were terrified and the emperor noticed all the insecurities in the people that he previously had himself. In order to protect his people, he sacrifised himself to become one with the land, thus engulfing the land in mists. So what i meant by " Wu wei " and surrendering, was in this specific case him surrendering to his faith in order to achieve something which was protecting the land. So in Wu Wei they teach the art of doing nothing, and in essence he did nothing as opposed to try to teach the people about the lessons he had learned. Which would be a form of taking action. Hope this explains :)☯️

@Joseph LaGreca nice one ⭐️
