@@willmiles7978 not like he asked, but they had to do it. Unless deathwing wanted to die. His body was destroying itself, it was the only way to make him live longer.
Then kill even more trolls, kill a powerful fire elemental, for real this time, time travel to an alternate future with the Horde (damn you, Chronicles Volume 3!), then time travel to the first Burning Legion invasion with the Alliance (seriously, why did Blizzard give specific player factions sole credit for some instances?) to borrow the Dragon Soul, infuse it with some aspect power, send it to Northrend, give it to Go'el/Thrall, fight to the temple he impaled himself on in that alternate future, kill some artificial dragon, teleport to the setting of a raid from the previous expansion to kill an evil shaman, teleport back to get on an Alliance airship to chase him, fend off an attack, have Green Jesus shoot him with a laser, smack his armor off, have Go'el shoot him with a laser again, push him further into the Maelstrom while preventing a half-minute cast from destroying the world (though you might not end up encountering that cast to begin with depending on your raid group), and have Thrall shoot him with one last laser. And then after banning Deathwing from the server, go back to fighting each other (and, in a way, ourselves) on a previously mist-shrouded continent that was originally called an island before the April Fools' Joke turned legit expansion was actually in development.
Also "Where they gona drink his blood!?" You pretty much stumbled upon the focal point of Warcraft lore universe. That entire scene was supposed to (and did) play out quite differently, they drank the demon blood and the Orcs became enslaved more or less. The entire plotline of the Warlords of Draenor expansion is about a different timeline, where this happened instead.
Yeah the Cataclysm cinematic may be more bombastic, and the Pandaria one just lovely and cute, but emotionally the Warlords one hit me the hardest - the orc in the hood who orders the Iron Star fired is the guy who rejected the blood's son, from the future, gone to a different timeline with future tech (like the Goblin-made Iron Star catapults) to try and save his dad from demonic enslavement. Such a shame they really dropped the ball on the actual game and expansion, trying to make 'alternate timeline' shenanigans stick and making the actual Warlords footnotes in their own story. Oh also the son Garrosh has an interesting arc being passed around as young upstart seeking his father's footsteps to bold leader to self-destructive villain, but by the point in the story he's shown in this cinematic he's a bit of an orc-supremacist lunatic, so harder to relate to.
React to Warbringers: Azshara, Warbringers: Sylvanas and Warbringers: Jaina. Origin of these three female characters from Word of Warcraft. You will like these stories.
Hugo Charbonnel I can agree to that, but the same can be said about Sylvannas’s. The events in her Warbringer is a direct lead in to her actions in BFA-while tying into her origin. Jaina’s is similar, just not as much of a graphic depiction of her origin, rather it is all in the audio.
@@danchmelar7111 He was by far the single most powerful creature in lore when he was rebuilt and infused with the old gods essence, lasting past the next two expansions until Legion, when shit went batshit crazy with Titans and shiz. Even then, Deathwing didn’t need an army.
WE WILL NEVER BE SLAVES!!! Hannah: PREACH, YES LETS GOOO BUT WE WILL BE CONQUERORS. Hannah: Woah wait wut hold up a second can i get out of the car first?
they will be friends after getting their asses kicked by a panda and go get drunk in the tavern lol. you should watch bottoms up clip too hanna. its short but funny :))))))))))
Which is why MoP was the best expansion and the overall plot fell apart after that because, really, the AvH war SHOULD have ended after MoP, and they resorted to extreme Character Derailment and Idiot Ball Holding to keep it going after that. But that's just, like, my opinion, man.
I 100% HIGHLY recommend you watch the animated Cinematic shorts that go along with each expansion starting in Mists of Pandaria. They have a unique art style to them and are VERY narrative, explaining the story and character origins for some of the prominent figures in the expansion much more in depth, so if you like character building those are 100% for you!

10:50 This one requires some prior knowledge of the Lore 35 Years ago, the Orcs of Dreanor( another planet) were all Enslaved after drinking the Blood of the Demon Lord, Mannoroth( the huge guy with Wings and green blood), wich would make them ANGRY as FUCK and more powerfull, but also would turn them green (Orcs originaly are brown colored) After the Mannoroth used the Orcs and the Horde to conquer Dreanor, their Homeworld, they started to build the Dark Portal, and with the help of another important character on Azeroth( the world in wich Warcraft is located), they started the Invasion of Azeroth and what is knowed as the First War against the Horde. Now lots of things have happened, and 30 years have passed. In the Present day, One of the Horde's Warchief, Garrosh Hellscream(the One with the Jaw painted in black and the Hood), was a bit too Militaristic compared to his predecesor Thrall who was more moderate, and Garrosh litteraly provoked a Schism in the Horde, with those that were of the same mind set has Him, commiting terrible war crimes. He was then captured and sentenced, BUT, in the World of Warcraft you have the Dragons, and they are categorised in different "Flights" or Colors (Blac, Red, Blue, Green, Bronze etc) and the Bronze Dragons, are the Keepers of Time, meaing that they can manipulate or travel through time, off course they are warry of the effects it can have and are Guardians preventing any one to interfere with time, but some fuck ups happens, and because of that Garrosh was able to escape and got through a Time Portal that led him back on Dreanor 35 years ago, before the Orc tribes of Dreanor drank the Blood of Mannoroth and doomed the entire Orc race. He Met his Father who was considered a War Hero for the newer generations in the Horde( he's the One who Killed Mannoroth on Azeroth and liberated the Orcs from his control), and made kinda explained what would happen and how he could change all that. Doing so he created an Alternate timeline that was MASSIVELY different from the current one, and Through the Dark Portal they planned to launch the Invasion of Azeroth again, but a Huge technological and tactical advantage tahnks to Garrosh knowledge. And so You(the player and the other players since its a MAssively Multiplayer game) and some of the most famous people of Azeroth goes through the Portal on the Alternate Dreanor( the current Dreanor as been destroyed by a magic cataclysme, leaving only a bunch of Continent wide crust of lands floating in space, called the Outlands) to try and stop the invasion of the Iron Horde and Garrosh( and ultimatly the Burning Legion and near endless army of Demons that scours the Galaxy to conquer and Burn all the Worlds they encounter, Azeroth been One of the very few worlds that managed to beat them and flip them the bird on a few occasions)
Nah, it's pretty much all of Warcraft, from the first RTS to modern WoW. Alliance and Horde fight, some third party forces them to work together, third party taken care of, repeat.
@@HannaHsOverInvested Yeah every story has characters doing their best to wedge the Alliance and the Horde to work together and it very rarely works. When it DOES work, it NEVER lasts. :3
Aight, it's lore time! 1st Cinematic - Cataclysm - The big dragon was one of the original dragon aspects, which were dragons that had been given extreme amounts of power by some of the Titan Keepers (robots that were built with the purpose of imprisoning eldritch monsters, called the Old Gods, that seek to consume the cosmos and plunge it into eternal void). There were 5 aspects which ruled over their respective dragonflights: Alexstraza, the Lifebinder, aspect of life and the red dragonflight; Malygos, the Spellweaver, aspect of magic and the blue dragonflight; Ysera, the Dreamer, aspect of the emerald dream and the green dragonflight; Nozdormu, the Timeless, aspect of time and the bronze dragonflight; and Neltharion, the Earth Warder, aspect of earth and the black dragonflight. Fast forward a few thousand years, and the Night Elves are being dumb mages and are using a massive font of magic, called the Well of Eternity, to summon in the Burning Legion (a massive army of demons lead by the dark titan, Sargeras) and trying to summon in Sargeras himself. Knowing that the Burning Legion is a huge threat to all living things, the 5 aspects get together and decide they need to get involved in order to prevent the Legion from killing everything. Neltharion, who has thrown in his lot with the Old Gods without anyone's knowledge, suggests combining the powers of the 5 aspects into a weapon and using it to stop the Night Elves from being dumb and destroying everything. The aspects agree, and all of them, except Neltharion, infuse the artifact, called the Dragon Soul, with their power, leaving them mostly powerless. Neltharion then uses the Dragon Soul to enslave the red dragonflight, and lay siege to the Well of Eternity, killing members of all dragonflights, most notably the blue dragonflight, which later causes Malygos to go insane. Neltharion is eventually defeated and sent to the earthen plane. Neltharion later comes back from deepholm and allies himself the horde during the second war. He gives the orcs the Dragon Soul and allows the orcs to have dominion over the red dragonflight. The orcs lose control over the red dragonflight, so Neltharion decides to create a diversion so he can steal the red dragonflight's eggs and use them for experiments in creating a new, more powerful dragonflight. This goes poorly, and a mage named Rhonin destroys the Dragon Soul, returning the power of the dragonflights back to where they belong and Neltharion nopes back to deepholme to think about his failure for a few years. He comes back at the start of Cataclysm in that cinematic you saw. 2nd Cinematic - Mists of Pandaria - The Horde and the Alliance end up discovering an ancient land, known as Pandaria, and decide to conquer it. In the process of conquering it, the Horde warchief decides to commit a few war crimes. First, he decides to drop a massive mana bomb on the human city of Theramore (this lead to the death of the archmage Rhonin), which was previously attempting to become peaceful with the Horde, but Garrosh decides to do it anyway because he feels the Alliance has no place in the world. He then decided to grab the Heart of Y'saarj (the heart of a dead Old God) and harness it's power for himself so he can achieve his goals of killing all races on Azeroth except orcs. This leads to several assassination attempts against him, and finally with a siege on the city of Orgrimmar by both the Horde and the Alliance, where Garrosh Hellscream is defeated. The previous orc Warchief decides to kill Garrosh there and then, but the Alliance king, Varian Wrynn doesn't let him and demands that Garrosh stand trial for all his crimes. Unfortunately, not immediately killing a threat in World of Warcraft can only mean that it's gonna come back to bite you on the a** later. So one of the last remaining uncorrupted black dragons, whose name is Wrathion, decides the only way to defeat the Old Gods is with a single united force, which the Horde and the Alliance simply isn't. He wanted one to defeat the other so it could then grow in power and fight to protect the world from the Old Gods, should they ever be freed from their prisons. Luckily for Wrathion, a bronze dragon agrees with him, and they set out to free Garrosh before he can be executed. They decide to send Garrosh to an alternate universe of Dreanor (the orc home world) before the corruption of the orcs by Gul'dan, with the only difference being that Garrosh's mother died before she could give birth to him. Why do they do this? Because they wanted Garrosh to make a new, more powerful Horde that would invade Azeroth, defeat both the Horde and the Alliance, and take over the world so that it could fight the Old Gods. 3rd Cinematic - Warlords of Dreanor - Garrosh goes to the alternate Dreanor, where he convinces his father, Grommosh Hellscream, that Horde will go down a dark path and that he will be the first to send it down that path. When Grommosh is convinced, he decides to help Garrosh unite the orc clans into the Iron Horde. They take Gul'dan and his Shadow Council prisoner and use them to power a new Dark Portal to Azeroth, where the Iron Horde can invade and take over. We invade, destroy the portal, and start a massive war campaign against the Iron Horde. This ends with Garrosh being killed by Thrall, Gul'dan convincing the rest of the Iron Horde to drink the fel blood, and Gul'dan summoning the legion to Dreanor whilst he attempts to open a new Dark Portal to Azeroth. This ends with the death of a Burning Legion lieutenant, and with Gul'Dan escaping. Now, the original story in OUR version of Dreanor is that Gul'Dan convinces Grommosh to drink the blood of Mannoroth (the pit lord demon you saw at the beginning of the cinematic), the Horde follows in his footsteps, which leads to the invasion of Azeroth, and the long endeavor to free the orcs of their corruption by the fel (Burning Legion energy). Ultimately, Grommosh is respected as a hero among the orcs as his sacrifice eventually frees them from enslavement by the Burning Legion. Oh, and Gul'Dan dies within an ancient Night Elf temple which was built on a titan facility and would eventually be where the avatar of Sargeras would be defeated. 4th Cinematic - Legion - The alternate universe version of Gul'Dan escaped to Azeroth, where he begins summoning in the Burning Legion at that Night Elf temple I talked about before, called the Tomb of Sargeras. This leads to the deaths of many heroes, such as Varian Wrynn, the guy you saw at the beginining of the cinematic and Vol'jin, the Warchief of the Horde at the time, who is replaced by Sylvanas (the undead elf archer) later. An archmage named Khadgar decides the best way to defeat the Burning Legion this time is to collect 5 titan artifacts, called the Pillars of Creation. We're also assisted by our order halls, which help us gain special artifact weapons to fight the Legion with and also lead a campaign against the Legion itself. We find out that Gul'dan has stolen the corpse of Illidan Stormrage and is trying to summon the soul of Sargeras into it. Not only that, he's also taken over the city of Suramar and is harnessing the power of one of the Pillars of Creation. We lay siege to Suramar and kill Gul'dan, return the soul of Illidan Stormrage to his body, and begin our assault on the Broken Shore, and the Tomb of Sargeras. When we storm the Tomb of Sargeras, we decide to hunt down Kil'Jeaden, one of the Lieutenants of the Burning Legion, and we kill him on a Legion command ship which is traveling to the Legion home world of Argus. Just as we kill Kil'Jeaden, we arrive at Argus, where everyone is prepared to accept their fate of death because the Legion is officially never able to get back to Azeroth. But Illidan has a special rock (the Sargerite Keystone, I think it was called) which the Legion used to teleport to any known place in the universe, and he teleports us, and the entire planet of Argus back to Azeroth. We then lay siege to Argus and the Burning Throne, where we eventually make our way to the Seat of the Pantheon, we use the world soul of Argus to resurrect the other titans, kill Argus, complete a ritual to imprison Sargeras within the Seat of the Pantheon, and finally defeat the Burning Legion. Illidan stays behind to act as Sargeras's jailer. If you made it this far, congratulations! That was a pain to remember and type. Have a cookie!
Actually, the Alliance were sent to Pandaria by Varian to search for Anduin who's ship had been shipwrecked (after it was attacked by the Horde.) They didn't go there to conquer anything. That was all Garrosh!
After 14+ years of playing World of Warcraft I've seen these cinematics dozens of times but seeing you experience them for the first time was so refreshing and exciting. Thank you for softening a stone heart. if you ever need a crash course in the lore (or at least an explanation of the cinematics you watched) don't hesitate to ask.
Ah! I’m so glad you liked them! WoW is my favorite video game and there is so much lore and so much that goes into the story. Deathwing(the fire dragon in the Cataclysm trailer) is the Earthwarder, which is why Azeroth was reacting to his pain. He went mad because of corruption from an Old God and seeks power. His goblin slaves were piecing him together because his body was falling apart from the power he obtained. Mists of Pandaria was my personal favorite expansion. The pandas were introduced way before Kung Fu Panda in I think WCIII? And in Warlords of Draneor(WoD) you go back in time. The orc that said “times change” is the son of the orc with long black hair. He went back in time to stop his people from drinking the demon blood. Nowadays, most orcs have green skin because of the consumption of the demon blood. The son posed as an “oracle” and convinced his father to not drink the blood. In Legion, the guy with black hair is Varian, the former king of the Stormwind, and the father of Anduin. Him and Sylvanas(eyebrows) went to face the Burning Legion. Unfortunately, Varian did die during this battle and now Anduin is the king of the Stormwind.
Whenever I watch Legion cinematic reactions, and when they say for Varian "Is he going to die?" And then after "oh, they got me for a moment", I start crying
People always claim Mists of Pandaria ripped off kung fu panda but the Pandaren were in the warcraft universe all the way back in Warcraft 3 in 2002 with Chen Stormstout
If you want some context between The Legion Cinematic and the Battle for Azeroth Cinematic, I recommend watching The Broken Shore Cinematic, A Found Momento, and the Warbringers series. There is also several short animated series. The Burden's of Shaohao is about the Pandaren.
3:06 Well we shot him with an artefact we acquaired via jump through time sh*t, then jumped on his back while he was flying and tore off those plates. And then dumped him into giant water vortex in the ocean.
@@HannaHsOverInvested Thet's what I like games for. We were a part of it. Punny druid bear triyng to fight off mutated blood of Deathwing while his comrades tearing armor off.... Blizzard, make Azeroth great again!
@@HannaHsOverInvested If you think he's exaggerating, he's not. He just summed up a final raid tier and a few dungeons. Just wait til' you hear about how we redirected the power of two ancient facilities (made with the intention of imprisoning eldritch monsters) into a necklace, so we could kill a mind-bending squid god that existed outside reality in the span of one patch with the help of a dragon, a dwarf made of crystal, a robot, and copious amounts of exposing ourselves to corruption
gotta say I loved this reaction vid the most :) also, Deathwing, the dragon from the 1st cinematic. he is one of the original 5 dragon aspectes who watched over the world, but got currupted over time. so, he was kinda defeated and his physical form was, well pulled apart.. in a way. the only way he could stay alive and not fall apart was in magma and thanks to his power. hence he is underground in it. the reason why those minions were hammering him and putting iron armor on him was so he can move freely around.
It makes more sense if you watch them in the right order. from top to bottom Classic, Burning crusade, Wrath of the lich king, ( Fall of the lich king) Cataclysm, Mysts of Pandaria Warlords of Draenor Legion ('old soldier' can be seen prior to Battle for azeroth to get the timeline correct) Battle for Azeroth, --> lost honor > safe haven > reckoning ( are smaller cinematics that explain the events leading to shadowlands) Shadowlands
Watching these got me really emotional for some reason. World of Warcraft has been such a big part of my life since it came out in 2004 and it's really interesting seeing someone else's reaction to it (I hardly, if ever, watch reaction videos). This was such a treat :) keep up the work
I absolutely loved watching this video! I hope you react to Jaina: Warbringers, Sylvanas: Warbringers, Azshara: Warbringers, Old Soldier, Lost Honor, Safe Haven, Reckoning, and the Shadowlands Trailer! I highly recommend watching them!
3:08 "What do you do to a dragon that just flies over you and kills everything underneath?" In the case of Deathwing, We had to jump on his back, rip off those metal plates that got nailed into him, then whack him a time-heisted mega laser.
I recommend watching "The Burdens of Shaohao". It's a 5 part comic style series that tells the backstory of Pandaria (home of the panda people). Blizzard also made other shorts in this same style for subsequent expansions, and they are all fantastic. "Lords of War" is for Warlords of Draenor, and then there are a bunch of one-off shorts that focus on single characters in the "Harbinger" and "Warbringer" series. They are all beautifully done and give a lot of backstory, not only for the expansions as a whole, but for the specific characters that have major story importance in said expansions.
Yes yes yes!!! The movie is based on the first Warcraft game; they probably wanted to make more films hehe There are three main games, then there’s World of Warcraft, which takes place years after the third one. And yes! For the last trailer, Ponytail dude (Varian Wrynn) is the blond dude’s (Anduin Wrynn) dad, and yes, Ponytail dude and Eyebrows girl (Sylvanas) teamed up to fight a big baddie, but yeah, that was in the past. I’m excited for you to see the Warbringers shorts! There are only three, and it focuses on the backstories of certain female characters (including Eyebrows girl). My favourite one is Queen Azshara’s. Have fun!
I know this is an old video, but the top comments don't seem to mention it so thought I'd give a little extra info: In the Legion cinematic, you ask if the Human dies. He does, but a tiny bit later. There is an joint assault on the Broken Isles where the temple that powers the portal through which all these demons come is situated. Just as in the cinematic, there is a common foe and even if we fight between each other, we can also appreciate the old saying "The enemy of my enemy is my friend". So the plan was for Alliance to go in, with the Horde assisting and protecting their flanks. it goes reasonably well, the Humans push through but then Varian (the human leader) hears a horn sound and suddenly the undead archers covering them withdraws, leaving them vulnerable. Varian feels his newfound trust in Sylvanas was betrayed and his distrust and hatred for her was justified. He then tries to escape but big, massive and evil machine grabs the airship. Varian hands his friend the letter he wrote in the Cinematic with orders to give it to his son, followed by letting go and doing a final last stand to help his soldiers escape to safety. He is then captured and killed by Gul'dan, the creepy dude who wants the orcs to drink the green goo. Now, here is where things get sneaky. Blizzard gave Alliance and Horde different cinematics. Of course we players could easily just go on TH-cam and look them up, but InGame the Alliance players sees Sylvanas's betrayal, followed by Varians death, and of course blames it on her bailing and leaving them to die as if that was her plan all along. The Horde, on the other hand, sees how their own armies are taking very heavy losses. Vol'Jin, the Horde Warchief at the time gets stabbed by a demon and is on the brink of death. For her own people to have a chance at survival, she orders a retreat. If they had remained, they would probably have been wiped out and still it would not have been a guarantee that the "Good" would win and the demons defeated. So her retreat was reasonable. The Alliance cinematic: th-cam.com/video/HerNdsh_H-g/w-d-xo.html The Horde cinematic: th-cam.com/video/GE9HVy1vgws/w-d-xo.html A lot is the same, but with important differences. And ye, the white Wolf-guy you see in the Alliance cinematic is the same guy as in the Battle for Azeroth cinematic where they assault Lordaeron, Sylvanas city. So him seeing her betray them there, along with Sylvanas being responsible for the death of his son much earlier and the Undead attack on his homelands, his enimosity to her is also easy to understand. EDIT: During all this, Anduin (the boy in the locket, and the guy who leads the armies in the Battle for Azeroth cinematic) struggles big time with both grief of losing his father, but also knowing that he can never live up to all the stuff his father did. He knows he can never be the trusted leader his father was. We follow him through the Human capital and listen as the citizens talk about "What Would Varian Do?" and how they still look up to the father. Anduin knows that he is no fighter and he knows that he cannot be what his father was. So he need to learn a lesson, to become his own King, and not be his father. There's a small cutscene where Anudin visits the place where his father died. Very emotional: th-cam.com/video/THSowKTA61Q/w-d-xo.html
To answer your question at 11:52, yes, the portrait of the kid in that compass is Anduin Wrynn - son of Varian Wrynn. That is the guy you saw in the Battle for Azeroth trailer back in May. Anduin Wrynn is currently the King of Stormwind, and King of the Alliance.
The "Warlords" one is definitely the best if you know the context - basically rewriting the inciting incident for the entire 'modern world' lore of the Warcraft universe. What's great is, yeah, everyone in this cinematic are the "villains" - both the demon and the warlock in every timeline, and all the orcs there and their new army are the 'villains' of the expansion itself. But that moment - "we will never be slaves!" is still goosebump worthy.
In the Cataclysm cinematic, that dragon you saw was different to Arthas’ dragon, his name is Deathwing and he is the leader of the black dragonflight, who have been corrupted by the old gods, they were hammering metal plates onto him, I don’t quite remember why though .-. In Mists of Pandaria, you recognise the green guy because he’s an orc, a staple race in WoW. Panda man was a Pandaren, a race native to Pandaria, he is a monk and mainly they fight for peace. They were a new race added in the expansion. Warlords of Draenor (Please note I have barely any idea how WoD works it’s a mystery to me) is kinda confusing, it’s set in an Alternate Universe and the time is before the Orcs invaded Azeroth. In the main timeline, the orcs would have drank the blood of Mannoroth (that gross green stuff) and went on to invade Azeroth. Isn’t his timeline, however, Garrosh convinced them not to (he’s the guy who pulled the cloth over his head dramatically) and so Grommash lead his people into killing him instead. They go to invade Azeroth but instead of invading their timeline’s Azreroth, they invade our Azeroth, resulting in us having to cross through to their World and stop them. The legion cinematic, voiceover man is the brunette badass, he’s voicing his letter to his son, the blondie you see in the BFA trailer. Varian and eyebrows weren’t on the same team but the Burning Legion (the ultimate bad guys of WoW) invaded Azeroth and they had to work together, but then eyebrows has to recall the Horde because everyone is dying and the Warchief (at the time) who lead the Horde was fatally injured and everyone was dying, that resulted in Varian dying .-.
I love it when people watch the MoP trailer and say/yell "Kung Fu Panda." The Kung Fu Panda movie came out in 2008. The Pandaren (Warcraft humanoid pandas) made their quiet debut in 2003, during a bonus campaign for Warcraft III's expansion, The Frozen Throne. Funny enough, that character in 2003 is Chen Stormstout and a major character in Mists of Pandaria (MoP) (released 2012). And I think Chen is the Pandaren shown in the MoP trailer.
Also, Duncan Jones (director of the movie) is a long time fan of the games, and wanted to do it right, so he started with the very beginning. Sadly it didn't do too well over here in the states, but did very well overseas. There is currently talks of another movie, and someone made a fan poster of Henry Cavill as the Lich King, and people are all about it.
Oh man, the hype leading up to Legion is some of the best gaming experience I ever had. Between THAT trailer and the pre-patch event I've never been more excited about a game, ever. I took two days off work just to play it.
12:30 No, not on the same side, just a temporary truce to deal with a threat too big for either side to deal with on their own. This guy (King Varian Wrynn) is the father of the blonde guy (King Anduin Wrynn) you saw in the Battle for Azeroth trailers, opposite of Sylvanas (or "Eyebrows"). The reason behind Anduin becoming King is part of why he and Sylvanas are fighting each other.
My Pandaren characters are some of my favorites. I love how gracefully they move even though they're all round and adorable. I really like the storylines both as you first level up as a Pandaren and then the actual Mists of Pandaria narrative. The artistry in the scenery is really compelling, too. It's just more beautiful and more about the fun of the experience than some of the other storylines, IMO.
Oh believe me, WoW has so many characters and most of them have really good stories/lore. It's just spread into books and comics. PS: she called Warlock a Priest, I'm laughing so hard now, you made my day 😂
12:45 Seems like you have seen the Battle for Azeroth cinematic trailer before this one. Long story short it’s been a long complicated back and forth between the two factions “Alliance” & “Horde” for generations. Usually it takes a “World-Ending” scenario for both factions to unite together for the “Greater Good” and it works for a while until something happens to re-ignite the conflict between both factions again. That has been the formula of the Warcraft series since it began as an RTS game up to the present day as An MMORPG. It gets confusing if you’re only looking at the trailers. There’s a lot of context behind all the scenes presented in the trailers which are hype fuel for the players to see what the next expansion of the game is going to be about.
Two things I think should be said about Warlords of Draenor: 1. That green stuff he was going to drink was demon blood IIRC (more specifically pit lord blood but it doesn't really matter). It turns an orc into a fel orc which makes them immensely more powerful fueled by bloodlust and rage but there's a huge catch. Those who become fel orcs are forced to obey the supplier of the blood. Which is why he said that whole "we'll never be slaves" thing. 2. That world they were on was called Draenor. The majority of WoW takes place in another world called Azeroth. The portal they were building at the end is called the Dark Portal. It connects the two worlds.
Cataclysm Quick run down: The Dragons of Azeroth are split by purpose / colour. They are called Aspects. Red is life, blue is magic etc etc. The dragon in the cinematic was Neltharion, the Earth Warder, he was the Aspect of Earth, him and the Black Dragonflight. Over time the Old Gods (Think cancerous tumours that corrupt planets) whispered to him and drove him mad, so he eventually took the mantle Deathwing, the World Breaker. Mists of Pandaria: The 'Kung Fu panda' in that is most likely Chen Stormstout or Taran-Zhu, but it's never made clear. The Pandaren live by a Stoic like philosophy with a very strong connection to their past through both oral and written traditions. They conqueor their own emotions because if left unchecked the Sha (Demon like beings, born of an old god as it died) manifest around unchecked emotions, so as the Horde and Alliance find Pandaria, the Sha return as a result. Warlords of Draenor: WoD is time travel based. The guy in the leather hood that says 'Times Change' is Garrosh Hellscream, son of Grommash Hellscream, in Mists of Pandaria he was Warcheif of the Horde and was such a badd ass, even members of the Horde wanted to remove him because of his strict orcish ways of 'only the strong'. At the end of MoP he is jailed, and as he awaits sentancing a bronze dragon (aspect of time) releases him and sends him back in time to Draenor (original home of the orcs) where he plans on Saving his father. The guy with the green skin and red eyes is Gul'Dan, he is at that point a tainted orc, hence the green skin, he has drank the blood of the big demon (Mannaroth). In the original timeline Gul'Dan convinces Grom to drink the blood of Manaroth, which binds him to Manaroths will and makes him a slave, but also gives him great power. In WoD Grom has been warned by Garrosh what happens, so he rejects the 'gift' of the demons blood, and keeps his people free. They then, as you saw, kill Manaroth and capture Gul'Dan. This is where the timelines get muddy, as they then open the dark portal to Azeroth anyway, to invade, but not as tainted fel orcs, as Mag'Hare, the untainted natural orcish horde. The most important thing you see is when Garrosh hands Grom back his axe after killing manaroth, as that axe is Gorehowl and both of them kept it while Warchief of their respective Hordes. In the original timeline Grom died killing Manaroth to free all orcs from the bloodlust. Legion: The burning legion is led by a titan called Sargeras, he was once the strongest and most loyal of titans but a race of demons called the Nathreziem (dreadlords) corrupted him over time by telling him about the void lords (the void lords made the old gods to infect titan souls as they lay dormant inside planets). Once he learned that the only way for void lords to enter his universe and take over was for life to be plentiful, Sargeras then formed the burning legion and literally went around destroying full planets and convincing some to join his crusade to save everything by killing everything else. The legion have a vested interest in Azeroth (the planet wow takes place on) as the titan inside the planet is the first/last titan, and the most powerful. They can only beat her while she's dormant. So, this is their 3rd invasion of Azeroth which is why Varian Wrynn (shoulderpads guy, Alliance) and Eyebrows (Sylvanas, Horde) are fighting together. They put aside all differences to save the planet and repel the legion. Wrynn does indeed die in Legion, about 20 minutes or less into the expansion, and his death is what stokes the fire of old hatreds. The Alliance think the Horde left him to die, but the Horde had to leave of they would all die and the legion would win. A troll, named Vol'Jin was Warchief of the Horde at the battle, and he died, and upon his death a Loa (Think wild / lesser god) told him to make Sylvanas Warchief, which she accepts, which is why she is leader of the Horde for most of Legion and most of Battle for Azeroth. The sword Varian Wrynn has ends up in the hands of his Son, Anduin. Anduin gives the sword to Saurfang in his Makgora with Sylvanas as a mark of respect, not just from Anduin, but from his Father. The sword can be split in 2, as you saw in both in the legion cinematic and the BFA cinematic of the Makgora. Sorry this was so long, I now realise it may never be read.
Just to give you some context to the Warlords of Draenor cinematic because I haven't seen many comments explaining it: In the regular timeline of the story the orcs drink Mannoroth's blood which does a number of things to them including turning their skin green (thus green orcs in the modern timeline), giving them an insatiable lust for blood & slaughter, and turning them into the pawns of the Burning Legion. The Burning Legion is the main overarching antagonistic force in the Warcraft series. Mannoroth is the big dude with wings that they kill in the cinematic. He is a powerful pit lord, and a very high ranking member of the Legion. So after falling prey to the blood-curse the orcs build the Dark Portal and invade Azeroth where they come into conflict with the humans, thus creating the foundation of the everlasting hatred & mistrust between the humans & orcs, and subsequently the Alliance and the Horde. While these two factions do work together every now and then to take down a common foe (like the Legion), it inevitably always returns to them fighting against each other for one reason or another. So back to the story, after being under the Legion's control Grommash Hellscream (the main orc in the cinematic) eventually kills Mannoroth and frees the orcs from their curse...but at the cost of his own life. His son Garrosh (the bald orc with the 5 o'clock shadow) is made Warchief of the Horde by Grommash's friend Thrall (the previous Warchief). Garrosh however became corrupted by power, and was defeated by the combined efforts of the Alliance & Horde working together again. After his defeat he went back in time (thanks to a Bronze dragon named Kairoz) to Draenor (homeworld of the orcs. Azeroth is the homeworld of the humans and where the majority of the story takes place), and warned his father and the other orcs of what happens to them after drinking Mannoroth's blood. Grommash unites all the orc clans on Draenor and that's where the cinematic begins essentially. Grommash rejects the "gift", but they have prepared to kill Mannoroth. This time Garrosh saves his father before he is killed in the aftermath of the explosion. This event changes the course of history in this alternate world/timeline, which is hinted at when Guldan (the green orc warlock) says, "This was not our destiny" to which Garrosh responds, "Times change". Now the orcs having avoided becoming the Legion's pawns ("We will never be slaves!"), but they intend to invade Azeroth anyway ("...but we will be conquerors.") using the future knowledge/technology brought back by Garrosh. This is the birth of the "Iron" Horde. At the end of the cinematic we see the Dark Portal being built in the distance.
"Is the dragon talking? Because he's the only one I'm seeing getting tormented!..apart from everybody with all this property damage." Cata in a nutshell :D
You would actually recognize some characters from Warlords of Draenor in the Warcraft movie since it's roughly about the same time but mostly with other characters as the main focus. They also do face a common enemy in the form of Gul'dan, the "priest" orc, in the movie but it's handled a bit too good vs evil instead of the neutral it's supposed to be
The panda in Warcraft actually predates Kung-fu Panda, but many thinks it is the other way around and think Blizzard got inspired from the movies. I think both were original creations and just happened to be similar.
@@HannaHsOverInvested Yeah, the Pandaren (the name of the race of panda-people like the character you saw) have existed in Warcraft's in-universe lore since the character of Chen Stormstout was introduced in Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne back in 2003, though Samwise Didier (the game's lead artist) had concept art that even predates that. It actually caused a fair amount of controversy at the time, and when they had considered introducing them to the game as a playable race, because the race initially exhibited a fusion of Chinese and Japanese cultures, which offended some people from each nation (they felt it was kind of racist to confuse the two or treat both Asian cultures as being synonymous with one another), especially in China where the game has a huge following and player-base. Eventually, this led to the designers developing the race more, and the land they come from (Pandaria) to better represent China as a whole and left out some of the more Japanese influence. Phew, that explanation turned into something far longer than I'd anticipated. Sorry!
thats not the reasons the movies were bad, there are a lot of antagonists, in the movie, the scary green orc with spikes, he serves a giant demonic army known as the burning legion. I would recommend reacting to the new Shadowlands, Afterlives cinematics and more importantly, which I'm surprised you didnt react to already, Warbringers: Sylvanas
"You're hammering stuff into something that's alive?" Yes, they're putting armor on him. As far as eyebrows and swordman being allies, yes. Temporarily (and later we find out not really) because the Demons of the Burning Legion were an existential threat to the entire planet, so... Out of necessity... Yes. To clarify though, that swordsman is Varyn Wrynn. High King of Stormwind and the Alliance, wielding Shallamayne, the sword of the King, and an ancient artifact that was created out of two separate swords (hence why it's separable) named Shalla'tor and elle'mayne, forged 10,000 years prior to this battle, during the first invasion of the Legion to repel the demonic threat.
So, fun fact, the Pandas in WoW actually pre-date Kung Fu Panda movies. they were introduced in the old strategy games which World of Warcraft is based on.
The Warlords of Draenor trailer is SO GOOD because at first glance it's a look at history, the very start of Warcraft 1 And then Angry Boi refuses the demon blood and FUTURE CATAPULTS and spinnybombs start raining down. It be like Hitler getting arrested in the Weimar senate with modern tanks and jets rolling up his SA :D
8:23 This big unit is a demon named Mannoroth, who donated his blood for the orcs to drink with the promise of becoming stronger(one side-effect being the iconic green skin), which turned them into his slaves. The orcs at this point were at war against the technologically advanced draenei. In the original timeline, Grommash Hellscream gladly accepted the offer without question, a desicion he later regretted as the orcs slowly became mindless monsters and slaves to Mannoroth, so he sacrificed himself to kill the demon and freeing his people. In the alternate timeline created in the Warlords of Draenor expansion, his son Garrosh from the future warns him about the outcome and his fate(in addition to bringing schematics of goblin war machines), which makes Grommash question the warlock Gul'dan and kill Mannoroth before drinking the demon blood, leading to the formation of the Iron Horde.
What do you do to the massive world-destroying dragon? Well, we uh...we ran back and forth on his back for a bit, and after he was tired of the massage we gave him a pedicure. And that’s how we beat the big bad dragon. Toenail-clipping skillz.
I was very happy when you say that MOP is your favorite without even understanding anything about the game's lore, I also love this expansion and it is the most beautiful expansion of all, you should watch the animations of this expansion known as "burdens of shaohao ' tells the story of the last pandaria emperor and all the burdens he has to overcome to save his people and his land, it is really beautiful and exciting
From reading the comments, many people are recommending watching the warbringers series (I do too!) However, one thing to know before watching is that the Jaina one is highly story based, but the story is almost all in song lyrics. Which means you definitely want to pay attention to the lyrics to understand her backstory. Hope this will require a little less explanation in the comments as I've seen in other videos reacting to it.
Ok, so just a small tidbit. The pandaren were actually in Warcraft 3, they were the original brewmasters. Pandaria was teased as an april fools joke, but the community took to it so well, the devs were like...oh s**t, well, guess we gotta make it now. But it's just funny that they did cause Kung-fu panda was already out.
It'd be a good thing to know that The Alliance and The Horde are both 'the good guys' and both have done bad things over time to each other. While there are 'evil' Warlords in the Horde such as Garrosh Hellscream and now Sylvanas "Eyebrows" Windrunner, they're not the 'bad guys' per se. If you have to find a singular bad guy that they all fight against, it'd be the demons, the Old Gods, and the Void they came from. As for the dragons; The one you see here is Deathwing, former leader of the black dragon flight named Neltharion. He was driven mad by the Old Gods and now only seeks to destroy everything. The undead dragon was Sindragosa and to my knowledge doesn't have a will of her own as she's an undead dragon, technically she's also more of a wyrm rather than a dragon. I believe Sindragosa used to be the Wife / Prime-Consort of Malygos (The Aspect of Magic) and was a Queen of Dragons herself before. Sindragosa only has 4 limbs while dragons have 6, making her a wyrm. I suppose technically wyrms are a kind of dragon, but you know what I mean.
The cataclysm dragon is named Deathwing that trailer sows the Twilight's Hammer cultist (mad god worshippers) forging armor to keep Deathwing's body together.
The fun thing is he didnt actually "lose" before. he was a Pillar of the world, his title is the earth warden and his domain was the elements of the planet. As one of the dragon aspects but he was corrupted and started falling apart with like, chaos god magic sort of. so the armor holds him together and hes trying to rip the world apart
If you like the Mists cinematic there is a hilarious short video of the two who get beaten up having a drink in a pub talking about how they got beat by a panda. P.S you were right it is “tear them all down”
Im a WoW no-lifer. The first trailer features a black dragon that was once named Neltharion the Earth Warder. He is the leader of the Black Dragons and was given dominion over the earth and the deep places of Azeroth by the titans who shaped the world. He was slowly driven insane by the whispers of the Old Gods that were imprisoned within Azeroth after the Titans arrival. (Tons more lore there) So, Neltharion is slowly going mad with the whispers of the old gods, they turn him against the Aspects, other dragons that were also empowered to protect the world of Azeroth. He eventually betrayed them by convincing them to impart portions of their essence into an artifact of his creation (the Dragon Soul) of which he didnt put any of his essence into leaving him at full power and able to dominate the rest using said artifact. The power being fed into him from the Old Gods was too much for his body to handle and it slowly began to tear itself apart, hence the armor plates being riveted into his own flesh to hold him together. After his betrayal he took on a new name... Deathwing. You might be interested in learning about the female dragons, Alextrasza the Aspect of Life from the red dragon flight that protected life and Ysera of the Green dragons known as the Dreamer and eventually the Awakened who protected nature.
I'm not a gamer! You can literally watch every second of my interactions with games in my live via the trailers on my channel 🤣😂 I'm new to this world.
Sidenote im sure youve been told, at the VERY end of the warcraf tmovie there is a little boy whos like 7 or 8 ish... THAT boy is this guy. The movie took place before this king was even ten years old, they made a movie about warcraft 1, theres still 2 more games before world of warcraft was made. And there are arguably 8, almost 9 expansions that are roughly a few years spaced out. it would take almost 17 years to get to a movie chronologically where this game is in a movie. THe broken shore invasion would be amazing on screen though
Have a acommon enemy, they did do that in the movie, but it was just a bit wishy washy in the movie. Didn't really gather the characters and was too fast in general. you should watch it, but keep in mind that it might not be the best. It is a perfectly entertaining for people who really get into stories.
I'm not a WoW historian by any stretch of the imagination. To me, the cinematics are telling the story of the world, not any one particular character (though many of the same characters show up in them). In the game, YOU create the hero based on many of the archetypes you see in the trailers, the first in particular. Also, NONE of the outfits worn by ANYbody make sense or are comfortable. They're all out of control, especially the shoulder armor. Haha! I've recently returned to playing the game so it's been wonderful re-experiencing these trailers through your eyes. You're amazing and are going to go far on here, I think! Best of luck to you. Finally, I'd like to suggest checking out the Star Wars: The Old Republic cinematics. Many of them, especially the later ones, are phenomenal and emotional. You should also make a shirt: "Be friends instead!". Perfect sentiment. -DZ
The most enjoyable part of these reactions is the pure investment and joy that begins to form as you watch the videos progress. I think that why I enjoy react videos. I get to see others geek out to things I’ve geek’d out too as well.
The problem with the movie is it took place when the Orcs (tusked dudes who wanted to conquer) first came to Azeroth and the Humans / Alliance fought back in short terms. Plus they didn't explain the Guardian so well/ rushed it to the point it got really confusing even for ppl like me who live for WoW lore. They made it to where they had more movies planned for a series which was a mistake. They would have made a lot more money if they focused on one of the more interesting time frames like the Lich King and THEN maybe made a prequel / went back
Gul'dan (the orc with the red eyes) is the bad guy in the movie, but there some time travel going on in this version. In this alternate timeline, the orcs don't get enslaved by the Legion (demons like the one who got the axe to the head) because someone went back in time and warned them not to drink the 'Fel'. And yes, that is Anduin in the picture, the prince from the BFA trailer. Make sure you watch the in game scenes from Legion if you want to understand how the horde and alliance once again turned on each other.
The big dragon loses by us finding a McGuffin to blast him with a giant laser, then land on his back and actually fight a full raid encounter on his spine because he is so big as we dislodge those big armor pieces he had hammered in so we can blast him again with a laser. It was a long process
It is always Horde VS Alliance basically. You can choose your faction and race (race belongs to a faction, like the humans belong to the alliance). Sometimes when a ‘great threat’ appears the Alliance and Horde work together. But their ‘teamwork’ and ‘trust’ is messed up and it always ends up in war again after facing the ‘great threat’
12:34 No they were never at the same team. He (King Varian) is leader of the Alliance, while she (Sylvanas aka "Eyebrows") is leader of the horde (actually becomes the leader shortly later in that story). But they fought together here against an almighty common enemy, the Burning Legion.
Been loving this series of reactions. I love how you're catching some details and continuity. Warcraft has so much going on lore-wise. From the game to books and other sources. These trailers only scratch the surface. It sounds like you have some good people setting you up with Warcraft video recommendations for what to watch next and I look forward to seeing more reactions. If I had to recommend something, I'd say to make sure and not skip out on the Warcraft Warbringers series. It's 3 videos: Sylvanas, Jaina, and Azshara.
If you still don't know, the WOD was an alternative universe in the cinematic our garrosh hell scream tries to save his alternate universe father grommash (both very proud great warriors) from drinking the blood of manorath and becoming a demon, ultimately to forge a new and stronger horde to rule our azeroth.
@@HannaHsOverInvested Hopefully, once you get the overarching prominent lore up to current events under your belt, you can go explore explore some of the side stories/lore/character as well! Like the 4 August Celestials of Pandaria, which are 4 wild gods that represent hope, strength, wisdom, fortitude; they protect Pandaria & a lot of their cutscenes/voice overs are like little fortune cookie parables that make you think 🥠
I absolutley adore watching people react to these trailers, and you have an eye for story structure so you catch more than most. Any wow trailers will get a like from me. People will name every single trailer or cut scene as something to watch, and they are all mostly worth watching but the animated artistic shorts are vids i would guess are right up your alley. Namely : daughter of the sea. Spoiler though: the character is fully and properly clothed.
2:40 good question, as some one who's play warcraft for almost 14 years now, the whole concept is 10-20 random people destroying the most power deities in the lore. xD
Warcraft does have 'bad guys' in it but they're not the Horde. They're the Legion and the Void and the Lich King. The Warcraft movie didn't go a very good job of conveying what's a relatively complex storyline. Big green burny guy was member of the Legion, they're all demons basically corrupted by a fallen titan (Tolkien's Morgoth if you're familiar all of the LOTR history). Big burny dragon was driven mad and corrupted by the Old Gods, creatures of the Void (Lovecraftian monsters similar to Cthulhu). Lich King dudes are all undead and have an army (White Walkers meets Sauron).
I'm surprised you don't stream, you got a good personality for it. There's an authenticity to your reactions that show when you're enjoying something, it's very enjoyable to watch. It would be cool if you reacted to some WoW lore videos, but those can get a bit long and drawn out to fit all the details. So I would recommend Platinum WoW's channel, since he has lore videos but they also strive to be entertaining. He has 2 videos he recently made about the Trolls history in WoW, I would definitely recommend it for you to react to.
I don't know if you've already decided by now, but I actually quite enjoyed the Warcraft movie! The only Warcraft game I played was Warcraft III. I played it when i was about 10 years old and it was a pretty old game then.
If you liked all these, you absolutely should check out all the HD story cinematics from the current expansion (battle for Azeroth) and the trailer for the new upcoming expansion (shadowlands). If you do check them out, make sure to do them in order and before the trailer for shadowlands so the story makes sense.
You are a good reacter! I like it! I prefer, since you are not familiar with major characters. All cinematics from Warcraft 3, tells the ground story of each Major Characters, roles and so on. You have series cinematics like Lords of War with five chapters, tells about Major Characters in Warlords of Draenor. You have Burdens of Shaohou series story with five chapters, from Mists of Pandaria. Harbingers tells about three Major male characters within Legion. Warbringer tells about three Major female characters in Battle For Azeroth. Warcraft have plenty of cinematics and ingame cinematics that leads to each other. I have subbed you!

"You're hammering stuff into something that's alive?"
Don't worry, we rip it back out for him, everything's cool.
And he asked them to do it in the first place.
@@willmiles7978 not like he asked, but they had to do it. Unless deathwing wanted to die. His body was destroying itself, it was the only way to make him live longer.

You get an achievement sweetie
I died SO many times by dragon while just trying to peacefully do my quests. To this day, I get a chill when the sky goes suddenly dark.
Smack it a few hundred times and use a shiny lazer shot by green jesus
Then kill even more trolls, kill a powerful fire elemental, for real this time, time travel to an alternate future with the Horde (damn you, Chronicles Volume 3!), then time travel to the first Burning Legion invasion with the Alliance (seriously, why did Blizzard give specific player factions sole credit for some instances?) to borrow the Dragon Soul, infuse it with some aspect power, send it to Northrend, give it to Go'el/Thrall, fight to the temple he impaled himself on in that alternate future, kill some artificial dragon, teleport to the setting of a raid from the previous expansion to kill an evil shaman, teleport back to get on an Alliance airship to chase him, fend off an attack, have Green Jesus shoot him with a laser, smack his armor off, have Go'el shoot him with a laser again, push him further into the Maelstrom while preventing a half-minute cast from destroying the world (though you might not end up encountering that cast to begin with depending on your raid group), and have Thrall shoot him with one last laser. And then after banning Deathwing from the server, go back to fighting each other (and, in a way, ourselves) on a previously mist-shrouded continent that was originally called an island before the April Fools' Joke turned legit expansion was actually in development.
I was pissed at first. WTF was that?!
Also "Where they gona drink his blood!?" You pretty much stumbled upon the focal point of Warcraft lore universe. That entire scene was supposed to (and did) play out quite differently, they drank the demon blood and the Orcs became enslaved more or less. The entire plotline of the Warlords of Draenor expansion is about a different timeline, where this happened instead.
Yeah the Cataclysm cinematic may be more bombastic, and the Pandaria one just lovely and cute, but emotionally the Warlords one hit me the hardest - the orc in the hood who orders the Iron Star fired is the guy who rejected the blood's son, from the future, gone to a different timeline with future tech (like the Goblin-made Iron Star catapults) to try and save his dad from demonic enslavement.
Such a shame they really dropped the ball on the actual game and expansion, trying to make 'alternate timeline' shenanigans stick and making the actual Warlords footnotes in their own story.
Oh also the son Garrosh has an interesting arc being passed around as young upstart seeking his father's footsteps to bold leader to self-destructive villain, but by the point in the story he's shown in this cinematic he's a bit of an orc-supremacist lunatic, so harder to relate to.
React to Warbringers: Azshara, Warbringers: Sylvanas and Warbringers: Jaina. Origin of these three female characters from Word of Warcraft. You will like these stories.
Yes please react to the Warbringers! Also, Burden’s of Shaohao is really good as well :)
Well Azshara and Sylvanas are origins story but Jaina is more of an intro to her BfA storyline to be honest.
Yes. It is true!
Hugo Charbonnel I can agree to that, but the same can be said about Sylvannas’s. The events in her Warbringer is a direct lead in to her actions in BFA-while tying into her origin.
Jaina’s is similar, just not as much of a graphic depiction of her origin, rather it is all in the audio.
"How does that guy lose?"
By throwing four other dragons at him.
And Thrall
And 25 "heroes"
And weapon created by 5 dragons mentioned by combining all their powers together. Yeah Deathwing was almost freaking unstopable.
@@danchmelar7111
He was by far the single most powerful creature in lore when he was rebuilt and infused with the old gods essence, lasting past the next two expansions until Legion, when shit went batshit crazy with Titans and shiz.
Even then, Deathwing didn’t need an army.

Which is why MoP was the best expansion and the overall plot fell apart after that because, really, the AvH war SHOULD have ended after MoP, and they resorted to extreme Character Derailment and Idiot Ball Holding to keep it going after that. But that's just, like, my opinion, man.
I 100% HIGHLY recommend you watch the animated Cinematic shorts that go along with each expansion starting in Mists of Pandaria. They have a unique art style to them and are VERY narrative, explaining the story and character origins for some of the prominent figures in the expansion much more in depth, so if you like character building those are 100% for you!

Thank youuu!!
10:50 This one requires some prior knowledge of the Lore
35 Years ago, the Orcs of Dreanor( another planet) were all Enslaved after drinking the Blood of the Demon Lord, Mannoroth( the huge guy with Wings and green blood), wich would make them ANGRY as FUCK and more powerfull, but also would turn them green (Orcs originaly are brown colored)
After the Mannoroth used the Orcs and the Horde to conquer Dreanor, their Homeworld, they started to build the Dark Portal, and with the help of another important character on Azeroth( the world in wich Warcraft is located), they started the Invasion of Azeroth and what is knowed as the First War against the Horde.
Now lots of things have happened, and 30 years have passed.
In the Present day, One of the Horde's Warchief, Garrosh Hellscream(the One with the Jaw painted in black and the Hood), was a bit too Militaristic compared to his predecesor Thrall who was more moderate, and Garrosh litteraly provoked a Schism in the Horde, with those that were of the same mind set has Him, commiting terrible war crimes.
He was then captured and sentenced, BUT, in the World of Warcraft you have the Dragons, and they are categorised in different "Flights" or Colors (Blac, Red, Blue, Green, Bronze etc) and the Bronze Dragons, are the Keepers of Time, meaing that they can manipulate or travel through time, off course they are warry of the effects it can have and are Guardians preventing any one to interfere with time, but some fuck ups happens, and because of that Garrosh was able to escape and got through a Time Portal that led him back on Dreanor 35 years ago, before the Orc tribes of Dreanor drank the Blood of Mannoroth and doomed the entire Orc race.
He Met his Father who was considered a War Hero for the newer generations in the Horde( he's the One who Killed Mannoroth on Azeroth and liberated the Orcs from his control), and made kinda explained what would happen and how he could change all that.
Doing so he created an Alternate timeline that was MASSIVELY different from the current one, and Through the Dark Portal they planned to launch the Invasion of Azeroth again, but a Huge technological and tactical advantage tahnks to Garrosh knowledge.
And so You(the player and the other players since its a MAssively Multiplayer game) and some of the most famous people of Azeroth goes through the Portal on the Alternate Dreanor( the current Dreanor as been destroyed by a magic cataclysme, leaving only a bunch of Continent wide crust of lands floating in space, called the Outlands) to try and stop the invasion of the Iron Horde and Garrosh( and ultimatly the Burning Legion and near endless army of Demons that scours the Galaxy to conquer and Burn all the Worlds they encounter, Azeroth been One of the very few worlds that managed to beat them and flip them the bird on a few occasions)
"Oh, they're on the same team! So then...they're not on the same team later?"
Yeah, that's pretty much WoW lol :p
🤣🤣🤣
Nah, it's pretty much all of Warcraft, from the first RTS to modern WoW. Alliance and Horde fight, some third party forces them to work together, third party taken care of, repeat.
@@bubbykins4864 My sincerest apologies for being factually incorrect about how much of the lore my attempt at humour actually ought to have included.

Aight, it's lore time!
1st Cinematic - Cataclysm - The big dragon was one of the original dragon aspects, which were dragons that had been given extreme amounts of power by some of the Titan Keepers (robots that were built with the purpose of imprisoning eldritch monsters, called the Old Gods, that seek to consume the cosmos and plunge it into eternal void). There were 5 aspects which ruled over their respective dragonflights: Alexstraza, the Lifebinder, aspect of life and the red dragonflight; Malygos, the Spellweaver, aspect of magic and the blue dragonflight; Ysera, the Dreamer, aspect of the emerald dream and the green dragonflight; Nozdormu, the Timeless, aspect of time and the bronze dragonflight; and Neltharion, the Earth Warder, aspect of earth and the black dragonflight.
Fast forward a few thousand years, and the Night Elves are being dumb mages and are using a massive font of magic, called the Well of Eternity, to summon in the Burning Legion (a massive army of demons lead by the dark titan, Sargeras) and trying to summon in Sargeras himself. Knowing that the Burning Legion is a huge threat to all living things, the 5 aspects get together and decide they need to get involved in order to prevent the Legion from killing everything. Neltharion, who has thrown in his lot with the Old Gods without anyone's knowledge, suggests combining the powers of the 5 aspects into a weapon and using it to stop the Night Elves from being dumb and destroying everything. The aspects agree, and all of them, except Neltharion, infuse the artifact, called the Dragon Soul, with their power, leaving them mostly powerless. Neltharion then uses the Dragon Soul to enslave the red dragonflight, and lay siege to the Well of Eternity, killing members of all dragonflights, most notably the blue dragonflight, which later causes Malygos to go insane. Neltharion is eventually defeated and sent to the earthen plane.
Neltharion later comes back from deepholm and allies himself the horde during the second war. He gives the orcs the Dragon Soul and allows the orcs to have dominion over the red dragonflight. The orcs lose control over the red dragonflight, so Neltharion decides to create a diversion so he can steal the red dragonflight's eggs and use them for experiments in creating a new, more powerful dragonflight. This goes poorly, and a mage named Rhonin destroys the Dragon Soul, returning the power of the dragonflights back to where they belong and Neltharion nopes back to deepholme to think about his failure for a few years.
He comes back at the start of Cataclysm in that cinematic you saw.
2nd Cinematic - Mists of Pandaria - The Horde and the Alliance end up discovering an ancient land, known as Pandaria, and decide to conquer it. In the process of conquering it, the Horde warchief decides to commit a few war crimes. First, he decides to drop a massive mana bomb on the human city of Theramore (this lead to the death of the archmage Rhonin), which was previously attempting to become peaceful with the Horde, but Garrosh decides to do it anyway because he feels the Alliance has no place in the world. He then decided to grab the Heart of Y'saarj (the heart of a dead Old God) and harness it's power for himself so he can achieve his goals of killing all races on Azeroth except orcs.
This leads to several assassination attempts against him, and finally with a siege on the city of Orgrimmar by both the Horde and the Alliance, where Garrosh Hellscream is defeated. The previous orc Warchief decides to kill Garrosh there and then, but the Alliance king, Varian Wrynn doesn't let him and demands that Garrosh stand trial for all his crimes. Unfortunately, not immediately killing a threat in World of Warcraft can only mean that it's gonna come back to bite you on the a** later. So one of the last remaining uncorrupted black dragons, whose name is Wrathion, decides the only way to defeat the Old Gods is with a single united force, which the Horde and the Alliance simply isn't. He wanted one to defeat the other so it could then grow in power and fight to protect the world from the Old Gods, should they ever be freed from their prisons. Luckily for Wrathion, a bronze dragon agrees with him, and they set out to free Garrosh before he can be executed. They decide to send Garrosh to an alternate universe of Dreanor (the orc home world) before the corruption of the orcs by Gul'dan, with the only difference being that Garrosh's mother died before she could give birth to him. Why do they do this? Because they wanted Garrosh to make a new, more powerful Horde that would invade Azeroth, defeat both the Horde and the Alliance, and take over the world so that it could fight the Old Gods.
3rd Cinematic - Warlords of Dreanor - Garrosh goes to the alternate Dreanor, where he convinces his father, Grommosh Hellscream, that Horde will go down a dark path and that he will be the first to send it down that path. When Grommosh is convinced, he decides to help Garrosh unite the orc clans into the Iron Horde. They take Gul'dan and his Shadow Council prisoner and use them to power a new Dark Portal to Azeroth, where the Iron Horde can invade and take over. We invade, destroy the portal, and start a massive war campaign against the Iron Horde. This ends with Garrosh being killed by Thrall, Gul'dan convincing the rest of the Iron Horde to drink the fel blood, and Gul'dan summoning the legion to Dreanor whilst he attempts to open a new Dark Portal to Azeroth. This ends with the death of a Burning Legion lieutenant, and with Gul'Dan escaping.
Now, the original story in OUR version of Dreanor is that Gul'Dan convinces Grommosh to drink the blood of Mannoroth (the pit lord demon you saw at the beginning of the cinematic), the Horde follows in his footsteps, which leads to the invasion of Azeroth, and the long endeavor to free the orcs of their corruption by the fel (Burning Legion energy). Ultimately, Grommosh is respected as a hero among the orcs as his sacrifice eventually frees them from enslavement by the Burning Legion. Oh, and Gul'Dan dies within an ancient Night Elf temple which was built on a titan facility and would eventually be where the avatar of Sargeras would be defeated.
4th Cinematic - Legion - The alternate universe version of Gul'Dan escaped to Azeroth, where he begins summoning in the Burning Legion at that Night Elf temple I talked about before, called the Tomb of Sargeras. This leads to the deaths of many heroes, such as Varian Wrynn, the guy you saw at the beginining of the cinematic and Vol'jin, the Warchief of the Horde at the time, who is replaced by Sylvanas (the undead elf archer) later. An archmage named Khadgar decides the best way to defeat the Burning Legion this time is to collect 5 titan artifacts, called the Pillars of Creation. We're also assisted by our order halls, which help us gain special artifact weapons to fight the Legion with and also lead a campaign against the Legion itself. We find out that Gul'dan has stolen the corpse of Illidan Stormrage and is trying to summon the soul of Sargeras into it. Not only that, he's also taken over the city of Suramar and is harnessing the power of one of the Pillars of Creation. We lay siege to Suramar and kill Gul'dan, return the soul of Illidan Stormrage to his body, and begin our assault on the Broken Shore, and the Tomb of Sargeras.
When we storm the Tomb of Sargeras, we decide to hunt down Kil'Jeaden, one of the Lieutenants of the Burning Legion, and we kill him on a Legion command ship which is traveling to the Legion home world of Argus. Just as we kill Kil'Jeaden, we arrive at Argus, where everyone is prepared to accept their fate of death because the Legion is officially never able to get back to Azeroth. But Illidan has a special rock (the Sargerite Keystone, I think it was called) which the Legion used to teleport to any known place in the universe, and he teleports us, and the entire planet of Argus back to Azeroth.
We then lay siege to Argus and the Burning Throne, where we eventually make our way to the Seat of the Pantheon, we use the world soul of Argus to resurrect the other titans, kill Argus, complete a ritual to imprison Sargeras within the Seat of the Pantheon, and finally defeat the Burning Legion. Illidan stays behind to act as Sargeras's jailer.
If you made it this far, congratulations! That was a pain to remember and type. Have a cookie!
Actually, the Alliance were sent to Pandaria by Varian to search for Anduin who's ship had been shipwrecked (after it was attacked by the Horde.) They didn't go there to conquer anything. That was all Garrosh!
10:48
" They had us in the first half not gonna lie "
Yea. 😔🙄 They need some therapy.
After 14+ years of playing World of Warcraft I've seen these cinematics dozens of times but seeing you experience them for the first time was so refreshing and exciting. Thank you for softening a stone heart. if you ever need a crash course in the lore (or at least an explanation of the cinematics you watched) don't hesitate to ask.
Thank you!!
Ah! I’m so glad you liked them! WoW is my favorite video game and there is so much lore and so much that goes into the story. Deathwing(the fire dragon in the Cataclysm trailer) is the Earthwarder, which is why Azeroth was reacting to his pain. He went mad because of corruption from an Old God and seeks power. His goblin slaves were piecing him together because his body was falling apart from the power he obtained. Mists of Pandaria was my personal favorite expansion. The pandas were introduced way before Kung Fu Panda in I think WCIII? And in Warlords of Draneor(WoD) you go back in time. The orc that said “times change” is the son of the orc with long black hair. He went back in time to stop his people from drinking the demon blood. Nowadays, most orcs have green skin because of the consumption of the demon blood. The son posed as an “oracle” and convinced his father to not drink the blood. In Legion, the guy with black hair is Varian, the former king of the Stormwind, and the father of Anduin. Him and Sylvanas(eyebrows) went to face the Burning Legion. Unfortunately, Varian did die during this battle and now Anduin is the king of the Stormwind.
Whenever I watch Legion cinematic reactions, and when they say for Varian "Is he going to die?" And then after "oh, they got me for a moment", I start crying
😂🤣 they did get me!
And then he dies anyway!
People always claim Mists of Pandaria ripped off kung fu panda but the Pandaren were in the warcraft universe all the way back in Warcraft 3 in 2002 with Chen Stormstout
If you want some context between The Legion Cinematic and the Battle for Azeroth Cinematic, I recommend watching The Broken Shore Cinematic, A Found Momento, and the Warbringers series. There is also several short animated series. The Burden's of Shaohao is about the Pandaren.
3:06
Well we shot him with an artefact we acquaired via jump through time sh*t, then jumped on his back while he was flying and tore off those plates. And then dumped him into giant water vortex in the ocean.
Ah, good times... XD
😳😳😳😳
And then we shot him with the artefact again for good measure.
@@HannaHsOverInvested Thet's what I like games for.
We were a part of it.
Punny druid bear triyng to fight off mutated blood of Deathwing while his comrades tearing armor off....
Blizzard, make Azeroth great again!
@@HannaHsOverInvested If you think he's exaggerating, he's not. He just summed up a final raid tier and a few dungeons.
Just wait til' you hear about how we redirected the power of two ancient facilities (made with the intention of imprisoning eldritch monsters) into a necklace, so we could kill a mind-bending squid god that existed outside reality in the span of one patch with the help of a dragon, a dwarf made of crystal, a robot, and copious amounts of exposing ourselves to corruption
gotta say I loved this reaction vid the most :)
also, Deathwing, the dragon from the 1st cinematic. he is one of the original 5 dragon aspectes who watched over the world, but got currupted over time. so, he was kinda defeated and his physical form was, well pulled apart.. in a way. the only way he could stay alive and not fall apart was in magma and thanks to his power. hence he is underground in it. the reason why those minions were hammering him and putting iron armor on him was so he can move freely around.
Ouchy... 😳😳😳
It makes more sense if you watch them in the right order. from top to bottom
Classic,
Burning crusade,
Wrath of the lich king, ( Fall of the lich king)
Cataclysm,
Mysts of Pandaria
Warlords of Draenor
Legion
('old soldier' can be seen prior to Battle for azeroth to get the timeline correct)
Battle for Azeroth,
--> lost honor > safe haven > reckoning ( are smaller cinematics that explain the events leading to shadowlands)
Shadowlands
Watching these got me really emotional for some reason. World of Warcraft has been such a big part of my life since it came out in 2004 and it's really interesting seeing someone else's reaction to it (I hardly, if ever, watch reaction videos). This was such a treat :) keep up the work
Awww thank you!! It makes me really happy to hear that.
I absolutely loved watching this video! I hope you react to Jaina: Warbringers, Sylvanas: Warbringers, Azshara: Warbringers, Old Soldier, Lost Honor, Safe Haven, Reckoning, and the Shadowlands Trailer! I highly recommend watching them!
I'll get to them for sure. I am LOVING WoW
3:08 "What do you do to a dragon that just flies over you and kills everything underneath?" In the case of Deathwing, We had to jump on his back, rip off those metal plates that got nailed into him, then whack him a time-heisted mega laser.
Not only that, but we're wacking him with the lazer he created using energy from the other four dragonflights.
I recommend watching "The Burdens of Shaohao". It's a 5 part comic style series that tells the backstory of Pandaria (home of the panda people). Blizzard also made other shorts in this same style for subsequent expansions, and they are all fantastic. "Lords of War" is for Warlords of Draenor, and then there are a bunch of one-off shorts that focus on single characters in the "Harbinger" and "Warbringer" series. They are all beautifully done and give a lot of backstory, not only for the expansions as a whole, but for the specific characters that have major story importance in said expansions.
The Burdens of Shaohao is my favorite of the animated shorts
Okay cool! Thanks!!
Cata trailer is what got me to play WoW for the first time. Thought it was the coolest thing ever. XD
Yes yes yes!!!
The movie is based on the first Warcraft game; they probably wanted to make more films hehe
There are three main games, then there’s World of Warcraft, which takes place years after the third one.
And yes! For the last trailer, Ponytail dude (Varian Wrynn) is the blond dude’s (Anduin Wrynn) dad, and yes, Ponytail dude and Eyebrows girl (Sylvanas) teamed up to fight a big baddie, but yeah, that was in the past. I’m excited for you to see the Warbringers shorts! There are only three, and it focuses on the backstories of certain female characters (including Eyebrows girl). My favourite one is Queen Azshara’s. Have fun!
Haha thank youuuu. I am having so much fun.
I know this is an old video, but the top comments don't seem to mention it so thought I'd give a little extra info:
In the Legion cinematic, you ask if the Human dies. He does, but a tiny bit later. There is an joint assault on the Broken Isles where the temple that powers the portal through which all these demons come is situated. Just as in the cinematic, there is a common foe and even if we fight between each other, we can also appreciate the old saying "The enemy of my enemy is my friend".
So the plan was for Alliance to go in, with the Horde assisting and protecting their flanks. it goes reasonably well, the Humans push through but then Varian (the human leader) hears a horn sound and suddenly the undead archers covering them withdraws, leaving them vulnerable. Varian feels his newfound trust in Sylvanas was betrayed and his distrust and hatred for her was justified. He then tries to escape but big, massive and evil machine grabs the airship. Varian hands his friend the letter he wrote in the Cinematic with orders to give it to his son, followed by letting go and doing a final last stand to help his soldiers escape to safety. He is then captured and killed by Gul'dan, the creepy dude who wants the orcs to drink the green goo.
Now, here is where things get sneaky. Blizzard gave Alliance and Horde different cinematics. Of course we players could easily just go on TH-cam and look them up, but InGame the Alliance players sees Sylvanas's betrayal, followed by Varians death, and of course blames it on her bailing and leaving them to die as if that was her plan all along. The Horde, on the other hand, sees how their own armies are taking very heavy losses. Vol'Jin, the Horde Warchief at the time gets stabbed by a demon and is on the brink of death. For her own people to have a chance at survival, she orders a retreat. If they had remained, they would probably have been wiped out and still it would not have been a guarantee that the "Good" would win and the demons defeated. So her retreat was reasonable.
The Alliance cinematic: th-cam.com/video/HerNdsh_H-g/w-d-xo.html
The Horde cinematic: th-cam.com/video/GE9HVy1vgws/w-d-xo.html
A lot is the same, but with important differences. And ye, the white Wolf-guy you see in the Alliance cinematic is the same guy as in the Battle for Azeroth cinematic where they assault Lordaeron, Sylvanas city. So him seeing her betray them there, along with Sylvanas being responsible for the death of his son much earlier and the Undead attack on his homelands, his enimosity to her is also easy to understand.
EDIT:
During all this, Anduin (the boy in the locket, and the guy who leads the armies in the Battle for Azeroth cinematic) struggles big time with both grief of losing his father, but also knowing that he can never live up to all the stuff his father did. He knows he can never be the trusted leader his father was. We follow him through the Human capital and listen as the citizens talk about "What Would Varian Do?" and how they still look up to the father. Anduin knows that he is no fighter and he knows that he cannot be what his father was. So he need to learn a lesson, to become his own King, and not be his father.
There's a small cutscene where Anudin visits the place where his father died. Very emotional: th-cam.com/video/THSowKTA61Q/w-d-xo.html
To answer your question at 11:52, yes, the portrait of the kid in that compass is Anduin Wrynn - son of Varian Wrynn.
That is the guy you saw in the Battle for Azeroth trailer back in May.
Anduin Wrynn is currently the King of Stormwind, and King of the Alliance.
Thank you!
The "Warlords" one is definitely the best if you know the context - basically rewriting the inciting incident for the entire 'modern world' lore of the Warcraft universe. What's great is, yeah, everyone in this cinematic are the "villains" - both the demon and the warlock in every timeline, and all the orcs there and their new army are the 'villains' of the expansion itself. But that moment - "we will never be slaves!" is still goosebump worthy.
I was so on board until the will be conquerors moment.
In the Cataclysm cinematic, that dragon you saw was different to Arthas’ dragon, his name is Deathwing and he is the leader of the black dragonflight, who have been corrupted by the old gods, they were hammering metal plates onto him, I don’t quite remember why though .-.
In Mists of Pandaria, you recognise the green guy because he’s an orc, a staple race in WoW. Panda man was a Pandaren, a race native to Pandaria, he is a monk and mainly they fight for peace. They were a new race added in the expansion.
Warlords of Draenor (Please note I have barely any idea how WoD works it’s a mystery to me) is kinda confusing, it’s set in an Alternate Universe and the time is before the Orcs invaded Azeroth. In the main timeline, the orcs would have drank the blood of Mannoroth (that gross green stuff) and went on to invade Azeroth. Isn’t his timeline, however, Garrosh convinced them not to (he’s the guy who pulled the cloth over his head dramatically) and so Grommash lead his people into killing him instead. They go to invade Azeroth but instead of invading their timeline’s Azreroth, they invade our Azeroth, resulting in us having to cross through to their World and stop them.
The legion cinematic, voiceover man is the brunette badass, he’s voicing his letter to his son, the blondie you see in the BFA trailer. Varian and eyebrows weren’t on the same team but the Burning Legion (the ultimate bad guys of WoW) invaded Azeroth and they had to work together, but then eyebrows has to recall the Horde because everyone is dying and the Warchief (at the time) who lead the Horde was fatally injured and everyone was dying, that resulted in Varian dying .-.
Yes, WOrld of warcraft: Mists of "Be friends instead" pretty much how it went down
Someone said I should put that on a t shirt, cause it's basically my slogan lol
I love it when people watch the MoP trailer and say/yell "Kung Fu Panda." The Kung Fu Panda movie came out in 2008. The Pandaren (Warcraft humanoid pandas) made their quiet debut in 2003, during a bonus campaign for Warcraft III's expansion, The Frozen Throne. Funny enough, that character in 2003 is Chen Stormstout and a major character in Mists of Pandaria (MoP) (released 2012). And I think Chen is the Pandaren shown in the MoP trailer.
"What do you do to a dragon that just flies and kills everything underneath?"
Well, you get on top.
Also, Duncan Jones (director of the movie) is a long time fan of the games, and wanted to do it right, so he started with the very beginning. Sadly it didn't do too well over here in the states, but did very well overseas. There is currently talks of another movie, and someone made a fan poster of Henry Cavill as the Lich King, and people are all about it.
Oh man, the hype leading up to Legion is some of the best gaming experience I ever had. Between THAT trailer and the pre-patch event I've never been more excited about a game, ever. I took two days off work just to play it.
12:30 No, not on the same side, just a temporary truce to deal with a threat too big for either side to deal with on their own. This guy (King Varian Wrynn) is the father of the blonde guy (King Anduin Wrynn) you saw in the Battle for Azeroth trailers, opposite of Sylvanas (or "Eyebrows"). The reason behind Anduin becoming King is part of why he and Sylvanas are fighting each other.
Okay...I kind of get it.
As much shit as people give/gave Pandaria that play WoW, I love my Panda Monk still to this day. And I miss Varian.
It was a fun trailer too!!
MoP was honestly one of the best expansions for class design, PvP and PvE content. Also I just loved how different it was and the message it delivered
My Pandaren characters are some of my favorites. I love how gracefully they move even though they're all round and adorable. I really like the storylines both as you first level up as a Pandaren and then the actual Mists of Pandaria narrative. The artistry in the scenery is really compelling, too. It's just more beautiful and more about the fun of the experience than some of the other storylines, IMO.
you need to watch the Broken Shore cinematics, they essentially explain why theyre not on the same team anymore
Oh believe me, WoW has so many characters and most of them have really good stories/lore. It's just spread into books and comics.
PS: she called Warlock a Priest, I'm laughing so hard now, you made my day 😂
12:45 Seems like you have seen the Battle for Azeroth cinematic trailer before this one. Long story short it’s been a long complicated back and forth between the two factions “Alliance” & “Horde” for generations. Usually it takes a “World-Ending” scenario for both factions to unite together for the “Greater Good” and it works for a while until something happens to re-ignite the conflict between both factions again. That has been the formula of the Warcraft series since it began as an RTS game up to the present day as An MMORPG. It gets confusing if you’re only looking at the trailers. There’s a lot of context behind all the scenes presented in the trailers which are hype fuel for the players to see what the next expansion of the game is going to be about.
Two things I think should be said about Warlords of Draenor:
1. That green stuff he was going to drink was demon blood IIRC (more specifically pit lord blood but it doesn't really matter). It turns an orc into a fel orc which makes them immensely more powerful fueled by bloodlust and rage but there's a huge catch. Those who become fel orcs are forced to obey the supplier of the blood. Which is why he said that whole "we'll never be slaves" thing.
2. That world they were on was called Draenor. The majority of WoW takes place in another world called Azeroth. The portal they were building at the end is called the Dark Portal. It connects the two worlds.
Cataclysm Quick run down: The Dragons of Azeroth are split by purpose / colour. They are called Aspects. Red is life, blue is magic etc etc. The dragon in the cinematic was Neltharion, the Earth Warder, he was the Aspect of Earth, him and the Black Dragonflight. Over time the Old Gods (Think cancerous tumours that corrupt planets) whispered to him and drove him mad, so he eventually took the mantle Deathwing, the World Breaker.
Mists of Pandaria: The 'Kung Fu panda' in that is most likely Chen Stormstout or Taran-Zhu, but it's never made clear. The Pandaren live by a Stoic like philosophy with a very strong connection to their past through both oral and written traditions. They conqueor their own emotions because if left unchecked the Sha (Demon like beings, born of an old god as it died) manifest around unchecked emotions, so as the Horde and Alliance find Pandaria, the Sha return as a result.
Warlords of Draenor: WoD is time travel based. The guy in the leather hood that says 'Times Change' is Garrosh Hellscream, son of Grommash Hellscream, in Mists of Pandaria he was Warcheif of the Horde and was such a badd ass, even members of the Horde wanted to remove him because of his strict orcish ways of 'only the strong'. At the end of MoP he is jailed, and as he awaits sentancing a bronze dragon (aspect of time) releases him and sends him back in time to Draenor (original home of the orcs) where he plans on Saving his father.
The guy with the green skin and red eyes is Gul'Dan, he is at that point a tainted orc, hence the green skin, he has drank the blood of the big demon (Mannaroth). In the original timeline Gul'Dan convinces Grom to drink the blood of Manaroth, which binds him to Manaroths will and makes him a slave, but also gives him great power. In WoD Grom has been warned by Garrosh what happens, so he rejects the 'gift' of the demons blood, and keeps his people free. They then, as you saw, kill Manaroth and capture Gul'Dan. This is where the timelines get muddy, as they then open the dark portal to Azeroth anyway, to invade, but not as tainted fel orcs, as Mag'Hare, the untainted natural orcish horde.
The most important thing you see is when Garrosh hands Grom back his axe after killing manaroth, as that axe is Gorehowl and both of them kept it while Warchief of their respective Hordes. In the original timeline Grom died killing Manaroth to free all orcs from the bloodlust.
Legion: The burning legion is led by a titan called Sargeras, he was once the strongest and most loyal of titans but a race of demons called the Nathreziem (dreadlords) corrupted him over time by telling him about the void lords (the void lords made the old gods to infect titan souls as they lay dormant inside planets). Once he learned that the only way for void lords to enter his universe and take over was for life to be plentiful, Sargeras then formed the burning legion and literally went around destroying full planets and convincing some to join his crusade to save everything by killing everything else. The legion have a vested interest in Azeroth (the planet wow takes place on) as the titan inside the planet is the first/last titan, and the most powerful. They can only beat her while she's dormant. So, this is their 3rd invasion of Azeroth which is why Varian Wrynn (shoulderpads guy, Alliance) and Eyebrows (Sylvanas, Horde) are fighting together. They put aside all differences to save the planet and repel the legion.
Wrynn does indeed die in Legion, about 20 minutes or less into the expansion, and his death is what stokes the fire of old hatreds. The Alliance think the Horde left him to die, but the Horde had to leave of they would all die and the legion would win. A troll, named Vol'Jin was Warchief of the Horde at the battle, and he died, and upon his death a Loa (Think wild / lesser god) told him to make Sylvanas Warchief, which she accepts, which is why she is leader of the Horde for most of Legion and most of Battle for Azeroth.
The sword Varian Wrynn has ends up in the hands of his Son, Anduin. Anduin gives the sword to Saurfang in his Makgora with Sylvanas as a mark of respect, not just from Anduin, but from his Father. The sword can be split in 2, as you saw in both in the legion cinematic and the BFA cinematic of the Makgora.
Sorry this was so long, I now realise it may never be read.
Haha I skimmed it. A lot of people have been giving me a lot of backstory.
Just to give you some context to the Warlords of Draenor cinematic because I haven't seen many comments explaining it: In the regular timeline of the story the orcs drink Mannoroth's blood which does a number of things to them including turning their skin green (thus green orcs in the modern timeline), giving them an insatiable lust for blood & slaughter, and turning them into the pawns of the Burning Legion. The Burning Legion is the main overarching antagonistic force in the Warcraft series. Mannoroth is the big dude with wings that they kill in the cinematic. He is a powerful pit lord, and a very high ranking member of the Legion. So after falling prey to the blood-curse the orcs build the Dark Portal and invade Azeroth where they come into conflict with the humans, thus creating the foundation of the everlasting hatred & mistrust between the humans & orcs, and subsequently the Alliance and the Horde. While these two factions do work together every now and then to take down a common foe (like the Legion), it inevitably always returns to them fighting against each other for one reason or another.
So back to the story, after being under the Legion's control Grommash Hellscream (the main orc in the cinematic) eventually kills Mannoroth and frees the orcs from their curse...but at the cost of his own life. His son Garrosh (the bald orc with the 5 o'clock shadow) is made Warchief of the Horde by Grommash's friend Thrall (the previous Warchief). Garrosh however became corrupted by power, and was defeated by the combined efforts of the Alliance & Horde working together again. After his defeat he went back in time (thanks to a Bronze dragon named Kairoz) to Draenor (homeworld of the orcs. Azeroth is the homeworld of the humans and where the majority of the story takes place), and warned his father and the other orcs of what happens to them after drinking Mannoroth's blood. Grommash unites all the orc clans on Draenor and that's where the cinematic begins essentially. Grommash rejects the "gift", but they have prepared to kill Mannoroth. This time Garrosh saves his father before he is killed in the aftermath of the explosion. This event changes the course of history in this alternate world/timeline, which is hinted at when Guldan (the green orc warlock) says, "This was not our destiny" to which Garrosh responds, "Times change". Now the orcs having avoided becoming the Legion's pawns ("We will never be slaves!"), but they intend to invade Azeroth anyway ("...but we will be conquerors.") using the future knowledge/technology brought back by Garrosh. This is the birth of the "Iron" Horde. At the end of the cinematic we see the Dark Portal being built in the distance.
"Is the dragon talking? Because he's the only one I'm seeing getting tormented!..apart from everybody with all this property damage." Cata in a nutshell :D
🤣🤣🤣🤣
You would actually recognize some characters from Warlords of Draenor in the Warcraft movie since it's roughly about the same time but mostly with other characters as the main focus. They also do face a common enemy in the form of Gul'dan, the "priest" orc, in the movie but it's handled a bit too good vs evil instead of the neutral it's supposed to be
The panda in Warcraft actually predates Kung-fu Panda, but many thinks it is the other way around and think Blizzard got inspired from the movies. I think both were original creations and just happened to be similar.
I am sure that happens a lot.
@@HannaHsOverInvested Yeah, the Pandaren (the name of the race of panda-people like the character you saw) have existed in Warcraft's in-universe lore since the character of Chen Stormstout was introduced in Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne back in 2003, though Samwise Didier (the game's lead artist) had concept art that even predates that. It actually caused a fair amount of controversy at the time, and when they had considered introducing them to the game as a playable race, because the race initially exhibited a fusion of Chinese and Japanese cultures, which offended some people from each nation (they felt it was kind of racist to confuse the two or treat both Asian cultures as being synonymous with one another), especially in China where the game has a huge following and player-base. Eventually, this led to the designers developing the race more, and the land they come from (Pandaria) to better represent China as a whole and left out some of the more Japanese influence.
Phew, that explanation turned into something far longer than I'd anticipated. Sorry!
thats not the reasons the movies were bad, there are a lot of antagonists, in the movie, the scary green orc with spikes, he serves a giant demonic army known as the burning legion. I would recommend reacting to the new Shadowlands, Afterlives cinematics and more importantly, which I'm surprised you didnt react to already, Warbringers: Sylvanas
"You're hammering stuff into something that's alive?"
Yes, they're putting armor on him.
As far as eyebrows and swordman being allies, yes. Temporarily (and later we find out not really) because the Demons of the Burning Legion were an existential threat to the entire planet, so... Out of necessity... Yes.
To clarify though, that swordsman is Varyn Wrynn. High King of Stormwind and the Alliance, wielding Shallamayne, the sword of the King, and an ancient artifact that was created out of two separate swords (hence why it's separable) named Shalla'tor and elle'mayne, forged 10,000 years prior to this battle, during the first invasion of the Legion to repel the demonic threat.
So, fun fact, the Pandas in WoW actually pre-date Kung Fu Panda movies. they were introduced in the old strategy games which World of Warcraft is based on.
The Warlords of Draenor trailer is SO GOOD because at first glance it's a look at history, the very start of Warcraft 1
And then Angry Boi refuses the demon blood and FUTURE CATAPULTS and spinnybombs start raining down.
It be like Hitler getting arrested in the Weimar senate with modern tanks and jets rolling up his SA :D
8:23
This big unit is a demon named Mannoroth, who donated his blood for the orcs to drink with the promise of becoming stronger(one side-effect being the iconic green skin), which turned them into his slaves. The orcs at this point were at war against the technologically advanced draenei.
In the original timeline, Grommash Hellscream gladly accepted the offer without question, a desicion he later regretted as the orcs slowly became mindless monsters and slaves to Mannoroth, so he sacrificed himself to kill the demon and freeing his people.
In the alternate timeline created in the Warlords of Draenor expansion, his son Garrosh from the future warns him about the outcome and his fate(in addition to bringing schematics of goblin war machines), which makes Grommash question the warlock Gul'dan and kill Mannoroth before drinking the demon blood, leading to the formation of the Iron Horde.
What do you do to the massive world-destroying dragon? Well, we uh...we ran back and forth on his back for a bit, and after he was tired of the massage we gave him a pedicure. And that’s how we beat the big bad dragon. Toenail-clipping skillz.
Everyone loves the panda in the trailer, but the actuall race in wow is garbaggio as hell haha
oh nOoOoOo!!!
I was very happy when you say that MOP is your favorite without even understanding anything about the game's lore, I also love this expansion and it is the most beautiful expansion of all, you should watch the animations of this expansion known as "burdens of shaohao ' tells the story of the last pandaria emperor and all the burdens he has to overcome to save his people and his land, it is really beautiful and exciting
From reading the comments, many people are recommending watching the warbringers series (I do too!) However, one thing to know before watching is that the Jaina one is highly story based, but the story is almost all in song lyrics. Which means you definitely want to pay attention to the lyrics to understand her backstory. Hope this will require a little less explanation in the comments as I've seen in other videos reacting to it.
Ok, so just a small tidbit. The pandaren were actually in Warcraft 3, they were the original brewmasters. Pandaria was teased as an april fools joke, but the community took to it so well, the devs were like...oh s**t, well, guess we gotta make it now. But it's just funny that they did cause Kung-fu panda was already out.
It'd be a good thing to know that The Alliance and The Horde are both 'the good guys' and both have done bad things over time to each other. While there are 'evil' Warlords in the Horde such as Garrosh Hellscream and now Sylvanas "Eyebrows" Windrunner, they're not the 'bad guys' per se.
If you have to find a singular bad guy that they all fight against, it'd be the demons, the Old Gods, and the Void they came from.
As for the dragons;
The one you see here is Deathwing, former leader of the black dragon flight named Neltharion. He was driven mad by the Old Gods and now only seeks to destroy everything.
The undead dragon was Sindragosa and to my knowledge doesn't have a will of her own as she's an undead dragon, technically she's also more of a wyrm rather than a dragon.
I believe Sindragosa used to be the Wife / Prime-Consort of Malygos (The Aspect of Magic) and was a Queen of Dragons herself before.
Sindragosa only has 4 limbs while dragons have 6, making her a wyrm. I suppose technically wyrms are a kind of dragon, but you know what I mean.
"How does this guy ever lose?"
literally lost to a golden frisbee.
🤣🤣🤣
The cataclysm dragon is named Deathwing that trailer sows the Twilight's Hammer cultist (mad god worshippers) forging armor to keep Deathwing's body together.
The fun thing is he didnt actually "lose" before. he was a Pillar of the world, his title is the earth warden and his domain was the elements of the planet. As one of the dragon aspects but he was corrupted and started falling apart with like, chaos god magic sort of. so the armor holds him together and hes trying to rip the world apart
If you like the Mists cinematic there is a hilarious short video of the two who get beaten up having a drink in a pub talking about how they got beat by a panda. P.S you were right it is “tear them all down”
I have seen that one!! 🤣😂 IN A HAT?!?!?
And phew! My teenaged self would.never forgive me for misquoting LOTR.
The dead dragon LOL. That is Deathwing. I have played WoW for 15 years, since it first came out in 04. I love watching videos like this LOL
Also, I love how she calls Sylvanas, "Eyebrows" LOL SO adorable :) I love it.
🤣🤣🤣 thank you!
10:47 they had us on the first half ngl.😂
Im a WoW no-lifer.
The first trailer features a black dragon that was once named Neltharion the Earth Warder.
He is the leader of the Black Dragons and was given dominion over the earth and the deep places of Azeroth by the titans who shaped the world.
He was slowly driven insane by the whispers of the Old Gods that were imprisoned within Azeroth after the Titans arrival. (Tons more lore there)
So, Neltharion is slowly going mad with the whispers of the old gods, they turn him against the Aspects, other dragons that were also empowered to protect the world of Azeroth.
He eventually betrayed them by convincing them to impart portions of their essence into an artifact of his creation (the Dragon Soul) of which he didnt put any of his essence into leaving him at full power and able to dominate the rest using said artifact.
The power being fed into him from the Old Gods was too much for his body to handle and it slowly began to tear itself apart, hence the armor plates being riveted into his own flesh to hold him together.
After his betrayal he took on a new name...
Deathwing.
You might be interested in learning about the female dragons, Alextrasza the Aspect of Life from the red dragon flight that protected life and Ysera of the Green dragons known as the Dreamer and eventually the Awakened who protected nature.
"Everybody's so angry in this world... of warcraft". No lies here.
You are from the same team?
Are you gonna be in different team later?
Sylvannas Windrunner : Yes.
Blizzard always out does themselves on these trailers. I am honestly surprised that you have never seen them. Your reactions are priceless! 😊
I'm not a gamer! You can literally watch every second of my interactions with games in my live via the trailers on my channel 🤣😂 I'm new to this world.
@@HannaHsOverInvested I'm glad you did! These short movies are like works of art. 😄
Sidenote im sure youve been told, at the VERY end of the warcraf tmovie there is a little boy whos like 7 or 8 ish... THAT boy is this guy. The movie took place before this king was even ten years old, they made a movie about warcraft 1, theres still 2 more games before world of warcraft was made. And there are arguably 8, almost 9 expansions that are roughly a few years spaced out. it would take almost 17 years to get to a movie chronologically where this game is in a movie. THe broken shore invasion would be amazing on screen though
Have a acommon enemy, they did do that in the movie, but it was just a bit wishy washy in the movie. Didn't really gather the characters and was too fast in general. you should watch it, but keep in mind that it might not be the best. It is a perfectly entertaining for people who really get into stories.
I'm not a WoW historian by any stretch of the imagination. To me, the cinematics are telling the story of the world, not any one particular character (though many of the same characters show up in them). In the game, YOU create the hero based on many of the archetypes you see in the trailers, the first in particular. Also, NONE of the outfits worn by ANYbody make sense or are comfortable. They're all out of control, especially the shoulder armor. Haha! I've recently returned to playing the game so it's been wonderful re-experiencing these trailers through your eyes. You're amazing and are going to go far on here, I think! Best of luck to you.
Finally, I'd like to suggest checking out the Star Wars: The Old Republic cinematics. Many of them, especially the later ones, are phenomenal and emotional.
You should also make a shirt: "Be friends instead!". Perfect sentiment.
-DZ
Thank you so much! And yes! That would be a great shirt🤣😂🤣😂 Maybe when I have enough going on on TH-cam to have merch, that will be a t-shirt I sell.
The most enjoyable part of these reactions is the pure investment and joy that begins to form as you watch the videos progress.
I think that why I enjoy react videos. I get to see others geek out to things I’ve geek’d out too as well.
I get that. I love watching people geek out to things I love.
The problem with the movie is it took place when the Orcs (tusked dudes who wanted to conquer) first came to Azeroth and the Humans / Alliance fought back in short terms. Plus they didn't explain the Guardian so well/ rushed it to the point it got really confusing even for ppl like me who live for WoW lore. They made it to where they had more movies planned for a series which was a mistake. They would have made a lot more money if they focused on one of the more interesting time frames like the Lich King and THEN maybe made a prequel / went back
BEST line in this video: Get outta here rock lobster!
🤣🤣🤣 just as many bad references as I could manage.
Gul'dan (the orc with the red eyes) is the bad guy in the movie, but there some time travel going on in this version.
In this alternate timeline, the orcs don't get enslaved by the Legion (demons like the one who got the axe to the head) because someone went back in time and warned them not to drink the 'Fel'.
And yes, that is Anduin in the picture, the prince from the BFA trailer. Make sure you watch the in game scenes from Legion if you want to understand how the horde and alliance once again turned on each other.
Man... There is so much going on.
:"How did you ever loose?"
-20 random guys walks into the tawern....
He was also blasted by Khadgar that one time creating the hole in his chest
The big dragon loses by us finding a McGuffin to blast him with a giant laser, then land on his back and actually fight a full raid encounter on his spine because he is so big as we dislodge those big armor pieces he had hammered in so we can blast him again with a laser.
It was a long process
It is always Horde VS Alliance basically. You can choose your faction and race (race belongs to a faction, like the humans belong to the alliance). Sometimes when a ‘great threat’ appears the Alliance and Horde work together. But their ‘teamwork’ and ‘trust’ is messed up and it always ends up in war again after facing the ‘great threat’
12:34 No they were never at the same team. He (King Varian) is leader of the Alliance, while she (Sylvanas aka "Eyebrows") is leader of the horde (actually becomes the leader shortly later in that story).
But they fought together here against an almighty common enemy, the Burning Legion.
Ohkayyyy thank you!
Been loving this series of reactions. I love how you're catching some details and continuity. Warcraft has so much going on lore-wise. From the game to books and other sources. These trailers only scratch the surface. It sounds like you have some good people setting you up with Warcraft video recommendations for what to watch next and I look forward to seeing more reactions. If I had to recommend something, I'd say to make sure and not skip out on the Warcraft Warbringers series. It's 3 videos: Sylvanas, Jaina, and Azshara.
Thank youu! I am trying to find a way to get these game ones out a little quicker but I also dont want to pigeon hole myself as just game reactions :/
If you still don't know, the WOD was an alternative universe in the cinematic our garrosh hell scream tries to save his alternate universe father grommash (both very proud great warriors) from drinking the blood of manorath and becoming a demon, ultimately to forge a new and stronger horde to rule our azeroth.
huh.... okay. Thanks.
If you enyojed these, you'll definitely enjoy the Battle for Azeroth ones because if there was one thing BfA did right, it was the cinematics.
I'm loving all of them!;
TH-camr:
“how do you kill a dragon that just flies over shyt and kills everything??”😨
Blizzard:
“Get on its bacc”🤷🏻♂️
🤣🤣
The way you transmit emotions through your reactions, i need more!, well done!
Thank youuuuu
MoP was my favorite expansion, loved the pandas and their message of harmony over the in-fighting of the other two
Love it.
@@HannaHsOverInvested Hopefully, once you get the overarching prominent lore up to current events under your belt, you can go explore explore some of the side stories/lore/character as well!
Like the 4 August Celestials of Pandaria, which are 4 wild gods that represent hope, strength, wisdom, fortitude; they protect Pandaria & a lot of their cutscenes/voice overs are like little fortune cookie parables that make you think 🥠
I absolutley adore watching people react to these trailers, and you have an eye for story structure so you catch more than most. Any wow trailers will get a like from me. People will name every single trailer or cut scene as something to watch, and they are all mostly worth watching but the animated artistic shorts are vids i would guess are right up your alley. Namely : daughter of the sea. Spoiler though: the character is fully and properly clothed.
Hahah thank you so much! Love me some practical outfits.
2:40 good question, as some one who's play warcraft for almost 14 years now, the whole concept is 10-20 random people destroying the most power deities in the lore. xD
Haha got it.
Warcraft does have 'bad guys' in it but they're not the Horde. They're the Legion and the Void and the Lich King. The Warcraft movie didn't go a very good job of conveying what's a relatively complex storyline. Big green burny guy was member of the Legion, they're all demons basically corrupted by a fallen titan (Tolkien's Morgoth if you're familiar all of the LOTR history). Big burny dragon was driven mad and corrupted by the Old Gods, creatures of the Void (Lovecraftian monsters similar to Cthulhu). Lich King dudes are all undead and have an army (White Walkers meets Sauron).
Just to comment on how cool you are for having those Buffy's comics on your shelves. Kudos!
Everybody the "Warcraft" movie Are on Netflix RIGHT NOW! SEE IT!!! its awesome
I'm surprised you don't stream, you got a good personality for it. There's an authenticity to your reactions that show when you're enjoying something, it's very enjoyable to watch. It would be cool if you reacted to some WoW lore videos, but those can get a bit long and drawn out to fit all the details. So I would recommend Platinum WoW's channel, since he has lore videos but they also strive to be entertaining. He has 2 videos he recently made about the Trolls history in WoW, I would definitely recommend it for you to react to.
I def will!! I am loving the storytelling here. And thank you!!
I don't know if you've already decided by now, but I actually quite enjoyed the Warcraft movie!
The only Warcraft game I played was Warcraft III. I played it when i was about 10 years old and it was a pretty old game then.
If you liked all these, you absolutely should check out all the HD story cinematics from the current expansion (battle for Azeroth) and the trailer for the new upcoming expansion (shadowlands). If you do check them out, make sure to do them in order and before the trailer for shadowlands so the story makes sense.
I will eventually get to ALL of them as I love them haha
It's pretty fun to see you enjoy so much Overwatch and WoW cutscenes, when you know that the games are absolutly nothing like those videos. ^^
You are a good reacter! I like it!
I prefer, since you are not familiar with major characters.
All cinematics from Warcraft 3, tells the ground story of each Major Characters, roles and so on.
You have series cinematics like Lords of War with five chapters, tells about Major Characters in Warlords of Draenor.
You have Burdens of Shaohou series story with five chapters, from Mists of Pandaria. Harbingers tells about three Major male characters within Legion. Warbringer tells about three Major female characters in Battle For Azeroth.
Warcraft have plenty of cinematics and ingame cinematics that leads to each other.
I have subbed you!
Thank youuu!!! And yes, I think I will slowly learn a lot about the WoW world.
Reactions to deathwing - priceless 😀
Watching thosound needles flood leaves me in hollow every time.
"Eyebrows!"
Yup, that's Warcraft-Elves alright.
😳😳they all have eyebrows like that?!
@@HannaHsOverInvested For the most part, yes XD But there´re different kind of elves in Azeroth (Night elves, High elves, Blood elves, ......)
Yes, they are. That's a "trademark" of them.
Tolkien elves: tall and beautiful
Elder Scrolls elves: look like aliens
WoW elves: E Y E B R O W S !
You missed the extra part from the MoP cinematic. The human and orc haveing a "discussion," in a pub about their experience with their new foe.
Someone sent it to me after. Love it.
