Deathwing: The Doom Song began its trek to fame when it was referenced by Takralus, a Blizzard community manager. This video is pretty bite-sized. The piece is a Deathwing-based video over the soundtrack from Invader Zim's Doom Song. This is 3mmique's first machinima. The graphics aren't actually bad for the creator's first time out, and the video has certainly achieved notoriety in its debut.
Ultimately, though, I laughed at this video. I'm not sure I can rate it as a great video or the best video ever or anything like that. But it made me laugh, and everyone I know who's seen it admits it's at least vaguely amusing. So with that, at least, it's a job very well done. Interested in the wide world of machinima? We have new movies every weekday here on WoW Moviewatch! Have suggestions for machinima we ought to feature? Toss us an email at machinima@wow.com.
Because not having to write a story or plot or cast an assortment of voicetalent(the talent is debatable) take much more time, and effort. Why put in the effort when you can make mediocre videos like these?

you're mistaken if you think that LESS time is put into the story, plot, and characters on a "reality" show =P

Every time I see Deathwing shake his head ... it'll just be Gir's low voice

This is going to make it completely impossible for me to be afraid when I see DW face-to-face. I'll be thinnking, "Doomy-doomy-doom, DOOM. The end!"
LOVE IT. Man I miss Invader Zim!

I couldn't get the video to stop playing in fast forward.

I did laugh. Silly little vid.

A fan of Invader Zim, I loved this. Picturing Deathwing as behaving like GIR is going to make future wipe fests that much more bearable.

This was delightful and well-done. I'll take a dancin' Deathwing singing the Doom Song over autotuned draenei girls or belf rap any day of the week!

As a doom metal fan, I find this absolutely disgusting.
Yeng Jan 19th 2011 2:29PM
As another doom metal fan, I approve of Invader Zim and this song.

For more appropriate reference, that "original" video link should have more appropriately pointed here:

Was the End of the world (of warcraft) video taken from the previous moviewatches? The one with the body-painted draenei.
Dreyja Jan 19th 2011 5:44PM
Nah... you just haven't experienced the full awesomeness of Invader Zim and that makes me sad for you. ;)

So who's Dib, then?
