For those that remember the end of Shadowlands, Anduin was broken, and this Cinematic shows the struggle was still real. His biggest concern was that he would call the Light and it wouldn't answer. But this shows that the Light is calling him. Still broken and with the belief he is unworthy, the Light shines to show him that it still Trusts him.

That moment where Thrall is just giving Anduin that cold blank stare.. Our Boy Thrall has literally seen so much and always helped people overcome their darkness. He’s seen so much of similar struggle.. Idk the way he just gave that cold blank look got me. Feels like if anyone understood how Anduin felt, I’d be Thrall. 😢

The acting for Anduin is spot on. The distress, guilt and grief he's feeling is excellently portrayed to the viewer. The shaking of the eyes, the head snap when Thrall touches him and the quivering of his voice, it's so authentic. This is on another level of excellence.
