HEY EVERYONE! I'm live streaming RIGHT NOW reacting to MORE WoW cutscenes and cinematics! czcams.com/users/livetorndbiPeUs?feature=share
hooo sweet child you have no idea how much content you have missed before the first cinematic and in between the few you watched (there are many many many more that arent on this video), there is even remastered fan versions of said lore ingame and some awesome ones that arent here.
watch warcraft 3 arthas story video, it explain so much lore and details leading to world of warcraft game.
Not po Chen stormstout he was first introduced in warcraft 3 in 2002 and kong fu panda was released in 2008
JustFYI, the lich King you saw, his Father was the good king of Humans pretty much. Arthas (The blue eyes evil guy in the video) was his Son, and he was a Paladin. When sickness befell his people and began turning them undead, he decided to purge anyone that was sick. Man, woman, or child. This lead him down an evil path which resulted in him giving up his soul for power, he lifted a cursed sword called Frostmourne and he became the monster you see in the video.
Cool that you love Final Fantasy 14. But I would like to see you play the Final Fantasy 7 remake or Final Fantasy 9 as those two are my all time favourites and many FF fans will agree with me that those two are the best ones.
I really wish the compilations would include things like Wrathgate and the death of the Lich King, I'm surprised Old Soldier wasn't in this one
Yes, missed a bunch of stuff crucial stuff like Broken Shore and Gul'Dan, Illidan and the Legion conclusion.
Also just one little scene of Silvanas getting her soul back was more confusing than anything else.
I can't believe they included the post broken shore horde cinematic but not the broken shore itself
Yeah, it’s a weird choice. Either make them “all” the expansion trailers, and maybe the fully-realised cinematics like Old Soldier, or do the whole thing. It’s very weird to start with the end of the Siege of Orgrimmar and leave out things like the Wrath Gate which was the game’s first in-game cinematic.
Most of these react videos react to this one, but it's just bad, it leaves out so many cinematics, and the ones it includes just seems random. It has Siege of Orgrimmar, but not the Broken Shore...
"oh man I wanna know what happens next"
*10,000 years ago*
"That's definitely not what happened next..."
LMAOOO
😂
got me aswell haha
I absolutely cannot believe the compiler would include the scene where Vol'jin makes Sylvanas Warchief but NOT include the Broken Shore cinematic, one of the most emotional cutscenes in WoW's history. It's like the compiler doesn't even play WoW lmao.
Absolute fire reaction though.
You can really tell that they were very pro horde.
Not even Wrath Gate!! That is def. in my top 5 Cinematics
"Did uou think we had forgotten? Did you think we had forgiven? Behold now the terrible vengeance of the forsaken!"
"Sylvanass!?"
"Death to the Scourge! And Dead... To the living!"
The broken shore one and the one where saurfang talks to the kid troll shaman on the wall are missing in most of these videos and it's driving me nuts.
@@tickingdeath105 Pro Horde? What the hell are you talking. There were missing important scenes, but that nothing to do with any faction. Why are some Alliance players so deep in victim mentality. Are you feeling so unsecure in your life, that you even project it on a faction in a game, that you've chosen?
The order in which they showed the cutscenes too is bothering me SO MUCH. They were showing Cata stuff, then suddenly it was the tree burning, then we went back again? AAAAAA.
There's quite a few cinematics and in-engine cutscenes that were NOT shown which would have explained things way better, including what you predicted; that Anduin would be forcibly "turned" by Sylvanas the same way she was by the Lich King, along with his subsequent rescue by the players and their mutual friends. The game is celebrating it's 19 year anniversary right now, and the franchise as a whole is a decade older than that, so yes, there's a LOT of stuff to see!
For realll, I was so unhappy seeing how this one didn’t include old soldier, but included all the others after that
Yeah, even though shadowlands wasn't great the Uther cinematic was great and it was unfortunate it wasn't added. As well as the warlords cinematics for Warlords of Dreanor.
I wish he could have react to the others so he could understand it especially what happen to Varian, Gul'dan, and Illidan.
Right? It feels like it was made by a Sylvanas symp :S more than half the video is about her... -.- and many story changing cinematics were excluded.. :(
That's some great reactions, dude. No screaming no unnecessary hype, just honest reactions.
The most important cinematics for context that the collection you watched left out: (in chronological order)
- Fall of the Lich King Ending
- The Broken Shore cinematic (Horde version includes the most important scenes if you only watch one of them.)
- A Found Memento
- Old Soldier
- Shadowlands pre-patch cinematic
- Sylvanas' Choice
- Kingsmourne
- Anduin Raid Finale
Then, before watching the new expansion trailer (war within), a list of other cinematics will make it make more sense: (in chronological order)
- Warlords of Draenor Ending
- Nighthold Finale
- Tomb of Sargeras Trailer
- Tomb of Sargeras Ending
- The Battle for Argus
- Rejection of the Gift
- Argus the Unmaker Defeat Cinematic
Then you watch "The War Within Expansion trailer" for last, which kind of ties the first and second list of cinematics together.
"- The Broken Shore cinematic (Horde version includes the most important scenes if you only watch one of them.)"
True but also you should watch both and do the Alliance one first
I agree with someone earlier. This is a bad cut of the cinematics and does miss quite a few. I'd follow the list above to get more context and watch the teaser for the next expansion, The War Within. It's quality, but the earlier ones to shame it is so life-like.
@@Umbradomo Seriously, I was shocked when it didn't have the Lich King and Uther video which would have gave context to why he says the helmet is a prison. It also missed my favorite part of all of wow, when they killed Mannoroth. They didn't put the last half in. (My #1 & #2 favorite characters Thrall and Hellscream.} "No old friend, you freed us all" is engraved into my brain, I'll never forget it. There's a quest in TBC where it plays the audio from that scene if you don't click past it. I never clicked past it. I loved that scene; they fought a lot together in the previous Warcrafts. (Warcraft 1, 2, and 3). I keep hoping for a Warcraft 4 but I think that wont happen for awhile if at all. They are milking WoW and it might mess up the lore. A lot of the Starcraft 2 people will come over and want a game as in depth in strategy and balance at a very high skill cap as Starcraft 2. That's not easy, Starcraft 2 turned into what it is after a decade. It's been balanced and rebalanced so many times. It's a really hard game to master and an extremely harder challenge to compete. players get wrist problems because of how fast they have to play now in SC2. I think we'll get a Starcraft 3 before Warcraft 4 so that the crazy competitive SC2 players don't hate on Warcraft 4 when/if it comes out.
To add too the list is the intro cinematic for Battle for Azeroth + All the Warbringer videos (we only got sylvanas)
Really? you think Anduins end Cinematic deserves to be on any list? They turned Arthas into a fart. Rather leave Arthas to Wrath then mention ANYTHING shadowlands.
I love how you almost exactly managed to dissect Arthas' situation in that short cinematic.
Also for reference, Saurfang is old, yes, which in Orcish culture is a bad thing.
Gotta be a good warrior, but not so good that you survive to grow old.
Beware an old man in a profession where men usually die young.
Yes. Verok Saurfang is one of the few individuals that has seen action in every one of the conflicts between the Horde and the Alliance.
@@misterbrady100 seems to be a common thing within this family - his brother, Broxigar, fought in every great war on azeroth - from the War of the Ancients to all Horde/Alliance wars.
a great family, with many great warriors indeed
Also technically sylvanas cheated to win there. Mak'gora doesn't allow the use of magic
Nothing, and I mean nothing beats the lore of Arthas and the Lich King, imo one of the best stories in fantasy. The cinematic still give me goosebumps even though I've watched it 100s of times.
He was a Villain to many, but to me he was a hero with a sad ending.
A true anti-villain. the cinematic gets me every time the irony of every line his father speaks eluding to how far he has fallen and all in service to Azeroth.
When the people working on blizzard had love for the game and they were actually trying to do something cool instead of please everyone
He was a very boring figure. Sorry for his fans. But i don't like Arthas and i don't understand the hype
the pandas was in warcraft lore waaaaay before the Kung Fu panda cartoons. The pandas in wacraft came in warcraft 3, witch came out in 2002. Kung fu panda came out in 2008
you dont know, Pandas in WC3 was for joke, Blizzard ignore players and says: there will never be any pandas in the lore. So shut up they ignore fans then adds pandaria.
@@BoullouD another cringe comment
Love seeing people experience the cinematics for the first time. Blizz can do a hell of a cinematic. The lore of WoW is absolutely massive too. 30 novels worth.
sadly most of them are shit
He is a scam. He pretend that he doesn't no but he knows. It's obvious. But I love his reactions anyway
One cookbook too.
@@davidcosta2244 The cook book is quite good to be honest !
@@zapoi8104 You got proof? Evidence?
Don't just say he "sounds" or "looks" like he already knows everything.
Warcraft was originally an RTS series. It started off with Warcraft: Orcs and Humans. Then there was Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness with its expansion Beyond the Dark Portal and then Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos and Frozen Throne. The RTS spans a few decades of time in-universe, and World of Warcraft (the MMO) takes place a few years after the Frozen Throne.
immediate context for Ace is that it gives you the background of Arthas fall from the light as a Paladin attempting to find a weapon that will turn back the horde. That weapon being Frostmourne which corrupts him. That's the background for Wrath of the Litch King
And in-world the events of the 3 RTS games are handily referred to as the First War, the Second War, and the Third War. There's also now the Fourth War, which refers to the events of Battle for Azeroth.
@@thomasd9827 Not exactly, Arthas finding Frostmourne was a result of chasing Mal'Ganis to Northrend after purging Strat and wanting to deal with the scourge invasion. Plus, there's even a lot more context to add to the scourge invasion with Kel'Thuzad and all that but that'd take ages and it's easier to just play Frozen Throne lol
Fuck man.. I miss that era Warcraft 3 is the whole reason I PC game but I cant touch WoW with a 10 foot pole. I'de kill to get the homies to log into Warcraft 3 and play some custom maps like back in the day.
what i loved about this video was your ability to actually soak in the story being told thru cinematics ive seen so many people react to them and not actually pay attention to whats going on. W video my man i liked and subbed
Its a bit of a shame these cinematic compilations don't include stuff like the patch trailers like that one cinematic where Garrosh drops the heart of Y'shaarj into the well in Pandaria (which gives a little context to some of his atrocities).
The patch 5.2 cinematic is easily one of the best, but 5.4 was good as well
And saurfang about to go off himself before the battle on lordearon
After watching this cinematic compilation, it is very clearly messed up. Missing very many key moments and especially the dual perspectives that the expansions are famous for doing
Atrocities? Garrosh did nothing wrong!
Lets be honest. Someone who doesnt know anything about World of Warcraft wouldnt enjoy that. They only watch LITERALY cinematics
If you are interested in the lore, then Platinum wow is a great channel to check out. Him talking about dragons and scarlet crusade are two good videos to start in my opinion and from there on pick what ever catches your eye.
Plus the memes he flavors them along the way ;P
PlatinumWoW is the worst example you could use for WoW lore, he retcons everything
@@JackMarcuson he's good, it just depends on what you want out of a video. nobbel is actually informative and is the go-to if you actually want to learn the lore but platinum and nixxiom makes the videos fun to watch
@@cooki3th1ef and if u want ur mind blown Pyro is the guy xD
Nobbel has the best lore videos out there
This compilation is bad it misses 2 cinematic and a lot of great in game cinematics
I hate what they cut and include. Like it makes no sense if you just take it as law.
WoW Classic here, BC here, best cinematics, what are you talking about?
the battle for Azeroth 2 cinematics @@BoullouD
@@ahmedhsan8934 wow have only 2 cinematics, classic and bc, who cares about others?
@@BoullouDah, you’re one of those...
As a long-time WoW player, it brings me joy to see your first reactions to this incredible game. You took me down memory lane man.
Man i usually dont write comments but i really appreciate the way you reacted how you listenened and watched when it was important and then tried to think and predict what some things could mean. And i must say you were almost spot on quite a few times with your ideas i enjoyed seeing all these cinematics again and your input made it even more enjoyable. Great video man keep it up :)
"Is he under control, because hes eyes are glowing" dude fking spot on!
To answer some of your questions
1) Yes each expansion continues the overall story of the game and expands the world
2) The panda's name is Chen Stormstout
3) This compilation cut out a lot of in-game cinematics and other things. You got a lot of the cool stuff but they left out a LOT.
4) Warbringers is part of a mini-series they do before each expansion starting with Mists of Pandaria. I have no idea why this person left so much out but I do recommend you give them a watch. Burdens of Shaohao, Lords of War, Harbingers, Warbringers, Afterlives. They're all extremely good.
5) It is a great time to get into WoW, Dragonflight is nearing it's end and next year they are beginning a new Trilogy storyline called the Worldsoul Saga while adding in a TON of player-friendly additions to help new players, solo players, alts etc. Not to mention you get access to WoW Classic as well where you can play the original vanilla game if you care to try it. WoW feels genuinely great again.
Really interesting to see a completely blind reaction, especially to the Wrath of the Lich King trailer. You hit the nail on the head, the intent was to juxtapose what Arthas' (the Lich King) father told him when he was young with just how far he's fallen now. This was such an iconic moment in Warcraft and something new MMOs failed to realize. It's not enough to just build a fantasy MMO and expect players to flock to it, you need a rich, robust backstory and world that players can draw from and have had experience playing or reading about in some form or another. It's years of buildup to this point that made this moment so incredibly epic, and nothing has lived up to it since.
Old Soldier not being in that compilation video is wild, particularly because it is done *very* well otherwise. Fun reaction!
Bro just casually guessed Anduins fate in SL from the BFA trailer!
Warlords of Draenor was our version of Shadowbringers in that it went to an alternate universe. The Orc you see imprisoned in the in-game cinematic (Garrosh Hellscream) escaped and used a rogue Bronze dragon (basically the 'primary timeline guardians' of this series) to travel to the past. In the main timeline the Orc with the two handed axe (his father, Grommash Hellscream) drank the demon blood that Gul'dan the warlock offered him (the blood was from the demon he kills in the cinematic, you see it oozing out after). After the Orcs follow his lead and drink the demonic energy in the blood turns their skins green and sets their aggression level to 11, turning them into the first Orcish Horde that invades the world of the humans and other races in the first RTS game, Warcraft: Orcs and Humans.
Garrosh's intervention split this alternate universe off from the main timeline and it still resulted in the creation of an Orcish Horde, but not one controlled by demons. Instead, Garrosh used his knowledge of the weaponry of his modern era (those whirring ball things are called Iron Stars, basically primitive steam traction engines) to make the Iron Horde. He then imprisoned Gul'dan and used his demonic magic in the creation of a portal to the modern day world of Azeroth (the massive structure you see them building at the end, otherwise known as the Dark Portal) to try and invade and take revenge for his prior defeat and imprisonment. Warlords of Draenor was about us pushing the Iron Horde back through the portal and fighting them on their homeland, a place that was familiar to us (we'd already seen it's prime universe counterpart, Outland, in The Burning Crusade expansion) but also vastly different.
If I remember correctly. KungFu Panda came out before Pandaria. However, Panda Monks have existed in WarCraft itself longer, since WarCraft 3FT.
Also yo, the fact that you guessed what happens to Anduin in Shadowlands. 👌
And as many have commented, there is a lot missed in this one.
Pandaren were originaly a April Fool's joke in Warcraft 3 RoC, back in like 2002, then following year in 2003 Warcraft 3 TFT came out featuring Chen Stormstout (guy in Pandaren cinematic) in bonus RPG-style campaign that came with it.
WoW had various references to them and such, even with playable race being planned and later scrapped in Burning Crusade (2007), until being released as playable race along Mist of Pandaria in like 2012.
But Kung-Fu Panda 1 came out in like 2008 so I wouldn't be suprised if Blizzard looked at success of that, looked at Pandaren and smelled the money rolling in.
i love watching these reactions - as a wow player since day 1 i still have passion for this game and it's history. Everytime i get goosebumps in certain cutscenes. And yes, it is a continious story. It's basically as in FF14. New enemy, old friends, betrayals and so on and so on.
100%
I hear the Vanilla and wrath Choir songs and I get chills for a while
Man it was a joy watching you react to these! There's SO MUCH story that's not told in between. Honestly, Warcraft has so much backstory, you'd need several days to learn all of it, but it's honestly one of my favorite fantasy stories.
First time I saw a CZcamsr that doesn’t play wow react in such a genuine way, really attentive to detail and characters.
*Spoilers* but for the Wrath of the Lich king one, Arthas is the one in the armor shown, aka the Lich King, he was a Paladin before he was corrupted by the sword Frostmourne. he was the prince of a kingdom and after he was corrupted he went and killed his father, and that is who was talking during the video. there is more info but this is kinda the short and sweet of it.
We definitely need to see a compilation for a lot of the in game cinematics and the ones he missed in order as well. Really sucks that they forgot Old Soldier it adds a lot of context for Saurfang before his fight with Sylvanas. Also I find it funny how unintentionally he predicted Anduin getting possessed. 😂
This is the first video of yours I've seen. I'm a giant World of Warcraft nerd and this was highly entertaining for me. Genuinely excited to see if you get into the game or at least the story, would definitely catch those streams.
Great content. Thank you!
This video popped up on the side and I had to watch. It's so much fun watching someone completely new to WoW watch these cinematics that I love so much after playing the game myself for the past 19 years. Awesome video
The new cinematic is wonderful! So perfect! If there's one thing Blizzard has always been able to do, it's cinematics and cutscenes.
Good news everyone! Many more cinematics.
The War Within (upcoming expansion recently announced): czcams.com/video/o03STclgxSc/video.htmlsi=6TGxkSfMr-hLC8Rm
I made a playlist of all the missed cinematics and trailers. I skipped the more gameplay focused ones. Each patch has a trailer made for it, most are story focused. Most of the later expansions have 2D motion comic introductions to them. I also included cutscenes during the expansions as well that were important. Everything is in chronological order (I am 98% sure of that). I added up to Dragonflight (the current expansion) to avoid spoilers and because this expansion has a ton of storylines all running at the same time. I also didn't include any cinematics or trailers that you have seen so hopefully it all still makes sense. :D
czcams.com/play/PLSqxUkv0GcTt42Ca7-FUbi1ZbuJBCPlEi.html&si=brXasNFvAujS6fiG
And yes, @18:45 that was a disconnect sound from Windows. It's in the first release of this cinematic after it was cleared for the first time. It's not in the official cinematic or in game. I have remembered that factoid for FAR too long.
Thanks so much for this! You really went the extra mile 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@KingdomAce Happy to help. Always cool to see new interest in the game and franchise.
It is amazing how you see these characters from the first time, yet you understand their motivea only by some cinematics that are not linked together loosely
hey man. been playing wow since 2004 basically and it's been a blast watching you react to this stuff. thanks for the great entertainment my friend! happy new year, much love to you
This compilation is missing two cinematics:
"Old Soldier" - czcams.com/video/aW_h0qf9vpA/video.html&ab_channel=WorldofWarcraft
(Happens at the dawn before the first big battle for azeroth where Sylvanas shouts "FOR THE HORDE" You'll recognize blue skinned tusk guy from some of the cinematics you already saw)
"The War Within" - czcams.com/video/o03STclgxSc/video.html&ab_channel=WorldofWarcraft
(Newest one released at Blizzcon about a month ago)
Some others I would consider helpful:
Arthas returns from Northrend (Warcraft III) - czcams.com/video/Jvwk5jpJ8Ec/video.html
The Wrathgate - czcams.com/video/LwngFEIg8Kw/video.html
Alliance Broken Shore Cinematic - czcams.com/video/8Zkdj61S6Z0/video.html
Also the Broken Shore cinematic to learn whats happend wiht King Varian
czcams.com/video/HerNdsh_H-g/video.html&ab_channel=MMO-Champion
It's almost criminal that the compilation didn't include Old Soldier given how Saurfang links through most of the other cinematics!
Nice reactions man, glad you're enjoying them, unfortunately this compilation misses a ton of stuff and leaves unanswered questions as you've noticed, there's definitely lots to go back and watch :)
Man that was fun to watch your reaction to a game i spent so many years playing! I was geeking out with you the whole time! You actually got a lot of your guesses right throughout the video but there was just so much in between that was in the game that you missed and so it leaves incomplete stories.
I do however feel like today it would be hard to go back and piece all those stories together because the expansions are still there, and you can play through them but you level so fast now, you don't really get to experience the story all that much. The way you play through them now is by kind of picking an expansion to play through and that's the one that you will level through till you are level enough for current expansion. So you don't get to see everything or even the totality of the expansion you level through.
Anyway, great video it was much fun to go through that with you!
as a long time wow player (2005), i LOST it when you called the troll raptor mount a chocobo 10/10
There are a bunch of smaller ones that have been missed --- Especially part of the Saurfang vs Sylvanas arc. There are also in-game cinematics showing the original King's death, etc.
its a shame this video dont have arthas backstory it would make so much more epic for this guy to react, he caught up to story so fast. if you reading, react to arthas story plz, its from warcraft 3 rts game, most of characters stories origin there, and entire game story is one of best storytelling in gaming
Love the vid, just so genuinely enraged by the amount of cinematics missed out, including my favourite!
This was my favorite cinematic - I grew attached to Varian over several years. There's a quest where you stumble upon the compass and return it to his son. Made me tear up a little. Love watching your reaction to these! As an avid FF player, I can say the stories and quests are similarly written. Funny, gross, deep and thrilling.
Great video fam, was really entertaining to see you react. Unfortunately the videos you watched were very disconnected and misses vital cinematics both ingame and animated to glue those story pieces together. There's still plenty you wouldn't know till you play the game ofc, but there were a lot of videos missing, such as the shadowlands cinematic about uther becoming soul split, etc.
WoW Lore is pretty complicated - some of it takes place in quests and cutscenes as you would expect coming from FFXIV. But much of it can be found in short stories and novels.
The original Warcraft RTS games preceded WoW. A ton of important lore was established and not all of it has been retconned over the years.
Watching you see it for the first time is a real treat man. Happy to see you enjoying them so much.
randomly was recommended this video and I just spent a whole hour watching this lol. Great watchthrough
damn, everytime i find one of u gamers react to wow for the first time, i just feel like going crazy with lore and races classes and ye it all, ive read most of the books and played the game since the beginning.. its an amazing lore, history, adventure, this game/lore/history have made me cry and laugh, over and over again, but ye its one long story, and the warcraft 1,2,3 before World of warcraft is also part of the story, tho its only some charecters that is like a part of the main plot, others like the charecter fighting the panda is just random more to show horde/alliance where the Panda himself is part of the main plot in that expansion
"That dude is so cool, I don't even know what his name is!"
That panda was named Chen Stormstout and he's a fuckin bro.
The way you kinda figured out so much by the short cutscenes was cool to watch, great reaction! Only wish they included more of the in game middle parts or the previous Warcraft scenes and you would’ve had it 100%
TBC and Wrath Cinematics always give me goosebumps, the nostalgia
i've been playing WoW almost since launch and watched probably a dozen channels react to these cinematics over the years and you're the only one i can remember who picked up the intentional irony in the narration vs. the cinematic for wrath of the lich king, now i'm here for your journey
Its criminal the uploader didn't actually include ALL the cinematics, but A+ reaction, mate, this was enjoyable to watch from start to finish.
38:52 NOOOOOO ITS A TRAP
genuinely love that you called the possession of Anduin halfway thru
I can't believe they didn't include Old Soldier or the Alliance Broken Shore cinematics, WILD!
I know! Such big parts of the story!
Hi, just wanna take a minute to share my appreciation for all the stuff you do...
I’ve discovered your channel from the witcher cinematic reaction video and as a big witcher fan I found enjoyment in your new witcher 3 playthrough series, which Im always excited for, when they come out.
As a fan of the Warcraft universe from its beginnings, I’ve really enjoyed your thoughts and commentary for these cinematics... I personally love the Wrath of The Lich King and Warlords of Draenor the most, theyre so epic! Once again, thank you for all the amazing stuff you make, especially the witcher series ^^ and keep being you.
Cheers and farewell on the path!
"10,000,000 years ago?! That's definitely not what happens next!"
lol
cracked my shit up
"And all will burn beneath the shadow of my wings."
Deathwing is my favorite warcraft character, period
The arrow going through the stone was the moment were you thought "that's not possible" ? haha made me giggle
the zappy boi cinematics taking place between saurfang getting captured and then getting clapped by sylvanas werent in here, those are good af
It was a great Honor to react with u together
You're smart as hell dude, I've been playin WoW and watchin you break this shit down and mostly nailing it on the head was really entertaining. There are super long ass videos out there that have all the in-game cinematics if you were ever interested, they delve much deeper into the overall story these bigger cinematics try to convey
It’s really interesting what the video you watched chose to include and leave out, there were a lot of patch trailers, in-game cutscenes, and a series of 2-D animated shorts for every expansion since Mists,(Burdens of Shaohao, Lords of War, Harbingers, Warbringers, Afterlives, and Legacies)
Just found your channel! Awesome video! It was so cool to see your excitement through the different expansions. I've played WoW since the classic days and there's tons and tons of content/stories to discover (some arguably better than others). I have a family member that half wants to play and half afraid to because there's just so much to see/do. lol Subscribed!
i think #1 thing to remember is that each cinematic is about 2 years apart and a lot happens in game through quests and dungeons/raids to fill in the gaps
also at 36:34 that tree she burns has like a whole city and vilalges of people at the top of it someone probably already said that in the comments but just adding that emotional part of this scene
The Cinematic fir Lich King always gets my heart. The once Beloved Prince, fallen to the powers of evil. Becoming a danger to the world that would of made even possibly the old gods tremble. And the expansion ending with him asking hos father if its finally over...
I legit feel depressed when I watch that cinematic and the ones leading up to his fall. (Obviously it was a rip off from the Star War story lol but this one hurts more. I have no idea why. Maybe I wasn't heavily invested into star wars as I was with WoW? 🤷🏻♀️) but how arthas had his friends and loved ones turn their backs on him instead of trying to help him again and come to his senses. Maybe it's the story and quests in between how he kept the gift Jaina gave him, proving that he was still in there, still had a heart or something worth saving!! Shadowlands ruined the game for me when freaking sylvannas gets a redemption story but never Arthas. Both were corrupted. One gets a redemption while the other gets evaporated. Way to go blizz. Missed opportunity. 😫
@Sunnygirl305 you forgot more then just Sylvannas got redemption. Think of all the old raid bosses and lore figures that popped up and were evil but some how got redeemed. I feel like Sylvannas should of actually been killed and when Arthus soul was freed he was taken to possibly be redeemed. Like in Maldraxxus or something
@@horrificbeauty1666 oh no I did not forget about them I was focused more on the topic of how sylvannas did the same exact thing that the lich king did, and she got the redemption story and arthas just disappears. I remember reading on reddit and on wowhead how a lot of players just left shadowlands when they saw sylvannas was never killed. People were raging how blizz teased that there is something arthas related to only see that he disappears and is gone forever. I was holding on to hooe that he comes back somehow. Still am... lmfao Like varian too. We got Uther in angel form atleast. I had hoped we would see more like thrall's family and the others but no arthas.
youre really good at picking things up and foreshadowing
I didn't think I was going to sit and watch the WHOLE THING!
Definitely missing a bunch of pieces but it was very entertaining to watch with your commentary!!
oh also that red dragon at the end... is the HOTTESS character in the whole game !
I still get chills watching the very first cinematic. I was 9 the first time I saw it at a friends house back in 2005 and have been playing WoW ever since
It's madness that at 39:18 he called out Anduins corruption from just the cinematics!
@3:10 when you asked "isnt this game old" -- that cinematic is from 2003, it was the intro cinematic to the original game AND their trailer for the game pre-release
that cinematic no doubt costed them millions to make lol
As a long time player it was cool to see someone who never played on point about so much of the stuff you put together there. Nicely done.
Just started watching and I've seen a few people react to the Wrath of the Lich King first time and they never catch on!! But you're the first to ever catch on that he was doing the opposite of what the King wanted him to do. Incredible intuition that's super cool!! Respect 😁
Yo when you said “ Anduin going to be possessed, what they did to her they are going to do to him.” I was impressed cuz you absolutely called it, it took two expansions but thats exactly what she did 3-4 year later.
For a game that's been around for almost 20 years, there is LOT to unpack in terms of lore, backstory, and how it's been developing so far. Personally, I have played World of Warcraft since 2010 when Cataclysm had just been released. Even when I took breaks from the game, I still tried my best to keep up with what's being updated and added into the game by the developers. I think my favorite expansion thus far, at least for me personally, would have to be the Warlords of Draenor, Legion, and Dragonflight expansions because of how story-driven they are and how they tie heavily into the already established lore of the series itself.
14:35 This is all one continuous storyline. You as the player character are a part of the game story from the very beginning and are revered as either the Horde's or the Alliance's champion because of this by the time you reach present-day with the Dragonflight expansion and later on with the newest one coming out in December 2024, the War Within and the World-Soul Saga following it.
One of my favorite characters out of the entire series is Illidan Stormrage, also known as the Betrayer. He is featured in Warcraft 1 through 3 during the 1990's and is the main antagonist in the Burning Crusade expansion (He's the dude who did the voiceover for the cinematic and also the one with the horns and wings at the very end of the video), and he's also featured HEAVILY in the Legion expansion due to the introduction of the Demon Hunter hero class, who are called the Illidari. The Illidari are trained and taught by Illidan himself to fight against the forces of Kiljaeden, Sargeras, and the Burning Legion itself (who are the ACTUAL antagonists of the entire Warcraft series).
There are many books that go into a deeper dive into the story and many Warcraft veterans would definitely give more insight as well than what I just did. Hope this helps at least a little bit :D!
"I can possibly fix" is the moment you realize you will serve the dark lady😂😂
seeing the old cinematics again give me chills!
36:40 Warbringers is a separate type of animated-type series that Blizzard does to give more background info. to characters or events in the Warcraft universe. I personally really like them. That one may have been shown in game as a testing sample when Battle for Azeroth came out (which is when the big tree burned, home of the Night Elves), so that's why this guy may have included it.
The bloke with the cup originally drank from it, this represents a split in the timeline due to time magic, he also in the original timeline took that blast from Mannoroth and it killed him, garrosh saved him further edifying the split.
I like how in this video we learn that Orcs were naturally peanut butter skinned until they drank the demon blood
FYI Dragon Flight basically Dragons protectors of the world left their home land and hid it for reasons some of them in the previous expansions, 10,000 years later they finally dealt with the stuff in the other expansions and are going home. The Beacon in the trailer is how they find it. If it seems disjointed from the other Expansions, it kinda is tbh but its also nice cause its way more chill and doesn't need 10 years of expansion packs to understand what is going on.
The one WoW dev team that never misses is the cinematic team
whatever they put out is ALWAYS pure gold...aside from the writing, but they don't put that out
Pandas name is Chen Stormstout. badass for sure
To answer your question 2 minutes in, Yes, there is a Warcraft series. The first 3 games were on PC with a couple on the PS 1. The first 2 are actually on gog for like $10. World of Warcraft is the 4th game.
Hey first time watching your channel, you have a great vibe man! ❤
I spent whole hour watching your vid man. I played WoW from the very beginning (Vanilla WoW)... And it brought so many memories, I cried multiple times.... Thanks for the video
World of Warcraft was a major critical and commercial success upon its original release in 2004 and quickly became the most popular MMORPG of all time, reaching a peak of 12 million subscribers in 2010.
Man watching this video i got so emotional at so many points remembering all this happening at the time. This games lore is so rich. So many fantastic characters.
"I could possible fix her"
Hit too close 😂😂😂😂
Bear in mind that first cinematic is 2004 and still holds up 19 years later.
I found out that the Mists of Pandaria expansion was originally meant to be an April Fool’s joke but people liked the idea so much that they turned it into an actual expansion
I play WOW since 2007 but still get goosebumps and heart palpitations from these trailers. Blizzard always always knew how to make the best cinematics.
So many very important in game cinematics were missed but it was great to see somone new to wow lore enjoy what was shown here!
I am a diehard WoW player and seeing someone react to the cinematics is great! Awesome video!
Wow, this brings me back. I remember the first time I saw the first vanilla trailer and later I started playing. I rolled a night elf druid and stuck to it through the whole experience as my main character (Earthen Ring EU). This game changed a lot when it comes to gaming. The world we experienced back then was nothing like we have ever had a chance to see before. And I am old enough to remember rpg games like Ishar trilogy (if you know, you know).
Yes, one 19 year long continued story of Azeroth and its inhabitants. 😊
facts, Long hair orc from the Warlords is called Grom hellscream, the old orc is called SourFang
You're onscreen analysis is amazing wow. You got my subscription
It's awesome seeing your reactions to these cinematics and how similar they were to mine when I first saw therm.
