The ending actually makes perfect sense. Terrible leadership appointments are Thrall's specialty.
Hey he could not have know that he will litaryly turn into a genocidal monster
And who he was suppose tp appoint then im pretty sure that all the horde leader were occupied
@@simionmatei9715 Vol'jin would have been someone closer to "ready" than Garrosh. But it's not entirely the fault of Thrall, either. Vol'jin and Cairne didn't do their Go'el-given job of helping Garrosh be a good warchief, and instead, jump to nearly leaving the faction and actually getting killed respectively.
@@simionmatei9715 There was also Garrosh saying, and I'm paraphrasing here, but "I'll take the job out of respect for you, Thrall, but this is a REALLY bad idea."
@@simionmatei9715 Garrosh had very low self esteem, because he was ashamed of his father for leading the horde back into the hands of the Burning Legion. It was Thrall who helped him build up his confidence. So yeah, Garrosh would never have become the threat he ended up being, if it hadn't been for Thrall.
@@Nyrufa the problem is not in Thrall helping Garrosh. the problem is in Thrall making Garrosh into the leader of Horde, a position that needs diplomacy and decision-making about a lot of stuff, while Garrosh is just a warrior. he's a fantastic leader for an army, but not for a country
Now it all makes sense... Why Gallywix is constantly acting awful to everyone but never faces any repercussions.
He's Bobby Kotick's self insert OC.
Oof
OH GOD ITS TRUE! Hes just missing the devil horns!
Pretty much, yeah
Bob Psychotic you mean
Pretty sure he said Gallywyx was his favourite character in an AMA.
"little green people snort adderal ore and learn to craft a machine-gun"
also my childhood
A thumbs up here doesn't cover how much I laughed at both times that got mentioned so just imagine someone smashing the like button a thousand times.

So that's how you become scientist. I wanna be scientist.

it is the only thing keeping me going these days tbh
PlatinumWoW has the best lore video and it’s very entertaining.
Lore is my crack.
I was a nobbel addict so lore is my shit lmao

Serious Wow lore: "Wow we're so serious and grand what could be better than our lore?"
Goblin Lore: "Money."
And drugs

Oy vey
@Der Patriot you know what’s actually hilarious I’m a goblin main my favorite race in WoW are the goblins and I’m Jewish IRL 🤣 so your not far off
Real talk; the Player Characters' secretary is not only the MVP of the starting zone, but also deserved to be the faction leader imo.
She's too busy running a madhouse in Stranglethorn.
"so what inspired you take over the island?"
"MONEY"
There's an ocean of elemental water and there's golden pearls in every fish mob.
"Are You Feeling Now, Mr Crabs?"
"Are you feeling it now, Gallywix?"
So this video about goblins lore can be split in two parts:
- Basically the Skaven lore
- Bobby Kotick's bizarre adventure in San Andreas.
"bobby kotick's bizarre adventure in san andreas"...i don't know why but now i actually wanna see a movie of that XD
I feel like so much of Warcraft can just be described as basically warhammer lore, but not as interesting.
@@cyclic_infinity and 10X's less depressing.
Well Blizzard _was_ going to make a Warhammer RTS, but Gee Dubz decided to be _rude_ and pull out of the deal at the last moment, so they had to choose between scrapping a mostly finished game or slapping together their own art assets at the last minute and ship.
So if Warcraft lore feels meandering, slapdash, and uncomfortably like a a shoddy knockoff of Warhammer that nobody really knows what to do with, well… that’s because it is.
@@cyclic_infinity Is it REALLY not as interesting, when it won the great franchise race? Sure GW makes bank and is popular, but Blizzard made even bigger bank and is a household name among gamers.
Goblins are not quite my favorite race, but I simply love how they "solve" every problem with, well, explosions
hell ya! That’s one of the best things about them! “ help my kitten stuck up a tree” “ don’t worry I’ll help” **pulls out goblin rocket launcher** “what the-BOOM!!”
@@battleax6364 the cat can’t be stuck up the tree if there no tree.... or cat.
@@mildlydazed9608 or anything in a 2 mile radius
And crooked business tactics and political corruption. Don't forget that.

Hearthstone voicelines binds it all together
If theyve got a good anything
It's good voice lines
Almost all of these voicelines are from WoW, though..?
@@mokarokas-1727 they were at launch but now I'd say it's like 60% original lines
@@Themagnificent1997 - I mean almost all of the voice lines in this video.
@@mokarokas-1727 06:00 Ironically, that voice line is from the Venture Co. Mercenary.

14:55 actually they terraformed Aszhara into the horde logo because Garrosh asked them to show the Alliance somehow that Kalimdor belongs to the Horde.
Considering that this was during MOP, I wouldn't be surprised if this was actually true.
@@therealdoc Actually, the Bilgewater came in and turned Azshara into the Horde logo (and a Horde lowbie zone) during Cataclysm, when goblins became playable.
@@bubbykins4864 It should belong to the Night Elves imo :(
That was a pretty baller move tho

When Thrall was getting close to the camera I thought he was about to start rapping.
STRAIGHT OUTTA DURNHOLDE!
Oh, classic Thrall. First he's all "I want to make peace between the Alliance and Horde" then next he's "So anyway, I started blasting!"
Thrall is such a troll
This looks like a Jackie chan movie, he doesnt want to hurt anyone but beat 50 man to the ground at the same time
Ahhh yes. my favourite race.
Also the "I'm the little friend, say hello" bit had my sides splitting like, wow.
Gotta say, the Worgen and Gobiln starting zones are some of the best of the game. Wonderful story telling, great quests, amazing atmosphere, beautiful zones and you just all around make a perfect connection to the race you've chosen.
That being said, as an alliance main and even my horde spark deep down, both really want to bonk Gallywix on the head. Little shit.
worgen area kinda sucks not gonna lie
When I first played the worgen area, there was a severe graphical bug that made everything hurt my eyes with contrast and sound like it all happened under pouring rain with thick fog. I didn't realize it was a bug and loved how much more depressing/atmospheric it made the entire thing
I couldn't look at it with as much favor any later playthrough. I wish I could reproduce the bug
Oh man, I hope they introduce Goblins as a playable race someday.
Maybe if some sort of earth-shattering event happened they'll come out of hiding

9:35 Bobby Kottick is a goblin deity confirmed.
“I never cover up the things I'm proud of. If the world was gonna split in half tomorrow, I’d buy the Dark Portal, slap a toll booth on it, and charge refugees the last of their pocket change, the rings off their fingers, a bite of their sandwiches, and a contractual obligation to build me a rocket palace in the skies of Nagrand. It’s the goblin way! Supply and demand! Deal with it!”
- Jastor in his autobiography
He's the most Goblin's Gob that ever existed. That's why I want him leading the Horde goblins. Why would we want an ethical kind leader? Goblins are capitalistic sociopaths. It's not the goblin way!
Seeing a goblin sniffing kaja'mite for science instantly made the goblins my fav race of WoW
Okay you cannot just ignore the the fact that Gallywix has a whole SCP style vault for any artifact he deems too dangerous for anyone to have and there is a canonical alternate timeline where Gallywix 1v1s Garrosh to stop him from getting in there.
Excuse me?
@@wildefice1 You heard me. Look up "The Blank Scroll".
Gallywix is not to be trifled with. He is the goblin king for a reason.
You remember Gremlins 2 when a Gremlin got injected with a smart serum? That is basically where the Warcraft writers took the idea for Goblins in WoW. They are smart serum gremlin dudes
That and skaven warpstone.
@@beastwarsFTW only skaven warpstone, is basically the same, Kaja'mite is even green lol
Love the video Plat, but you left out my favorite part of the Nessa/Gallywix plotline. It's true that every year Gallywix sends her a lovely present (a gorgeous, intricately painted portrait of himself basking in his riches) but you can't forget that Nessa reciprocates that love... by sending him back a bomb.
True she's never managed to kill him, but it's the thought that counts!
That's insane that they terraformed Azhara into the horde logo, It's great
It represents goblin mindset perfectly 'because we can'.
Despite what Platinum said, the reason was to show their loyalty since Gallywix wasn't exactly trustworthy.
Damn, the Blizzard CEO Story is so epic
When the last book came out and people were pissed about the Zappy Boy line, i tried telling them the books and game are held to different levels of canon
In that the game is more canon
"But the game is never That silly!"
"Theres a quest in nagrand about GOBLIN PORN!"
And where exactly can I find this quest? For “research” purposes only of course
@@battleax6364 theres a broken down goblin wagon south of the ring of trials where a small goblin child will run up to you and say he lost his "treasure"
@@ConnorNotyerbidness let me guess his “lost Treasure” is a porn magazine
@@battleax6364 pinup calendars but its how he talks about needing alone time
For reasons
The books are usually better though, usually.
imagine the lashing the surviving zandalari got when they returned empty handed after being defeated by robot chickens
I want it canon now that a target dummy was the goblin player.
not really the same, but as ally the closest thing i saw is the pvp dummy in stormwind that has a big orc face 😂
Canonically that exact target dummy is the warrior trainer in the starting zone lol
@@thepuffingmuffin7630 Which shows that the goblins were well aware of the changes in how classes worked and hired their class trainers accordingly XD
The green rocket bois are super funny yet probably the third most evil playable race
Third? Who is the second after Vulpera?
@@Obrubakcz Edgy bois
Trolls.
Forsaken and orcs are most evil?
Humans, night elves, vulpera, worgen, undead, void elves... those are all definitely more evil.
Ah yes, Gallywix, also known as Robert's Kotick self-insert.
Glad I wasn’t the only one that was confused how gallywix kept his title.
The easy answer is bad writing and the preceding terrible set up.
@@SurfingSwallow Since you mentioned Sassy, I would have dropped the whole "goblin player character is next in line to be trade prince" bit and made that whole story about Sassy vs Gallywix. Treat the player character more like a regular goblin that gets caught in the middle of a faction war (heh) and comes out a hero at the end of it.
Depending on how you characterize Sassy after that, you might get someone who seems easygoing but still gets results. Not to mention you can then write her to sort of connect with Sylvannas as they would be only two female leaders within the Horde at that point in time.
As a goblin PC I was so aggravated when Galliwyx ended up not only still breathing, but left in charge of the goblin faction. I'm still not clear how that changed at the end of BFA, but I really grew to like the new leader that (I guess?) took his place.
there is a mini dialogue in the horde embassy thrall talk to gazzlowe and tell him gallywix went rogue and asked if he could be the goblin leader
Gazlowe's been an important goblin since Warcraft III, similar to how everyone's wanted Vol'jin to be warchief since Cataclysm.
@@Quetzen let's just hope he doesn't end like vol'jin.
@@Quetzen but why would a goblin from the steamwheedle cartel become the leader of the bilgewater cartel?
@@carlgustafemilmannerheim5661 "Why would the VP of Google want to become the CEO of Apple?"
Even lore-wise gallowix is a perfect 1 - to 1 representation of Bobby! What a great story.
edit: typo
there is one big difference though the fan base actually likes Gallywix
The most important part of the lore is when your boyfriend leaves you for another goblin
Kaja'mite may remove the stupid from your brain but it'll never remove the pain from my heart :(
or girlfriend depending on your player character's gender.
I don't understand if this actually happen in game or not.
@@robfus it happened
@@robfus It does. Depending on the Goblin's gender you create, you either get a boy- or girlfriend that ditches you to get together with the respective other option...and then you kill them both.
I really love the inclusion of Hearthstone voicelines
I think the main thing with the second half of the goblin starting area is that "clearly more important things are going on, but the goblins don't give a damn." Pygmies gaining intelligence through kajamite, Thrall wanting to team up against the cataclysm, but trying to survive an alliance assault first, killing the living god on the islands, causing this lush tropical "paradise" to explode and burn (which is peak goblin). They don't care, and thus, your goblin character also doesn't care.
Goblins are often compared to Gnomes. However, my favourite aspect of Goblinkind is that their ingenuity, in contrast to Gnomes, is a direct consequence of their industriousness. They're so incredibly avaricious that they are constantly innovating in an attempt to make bank and sate their lust for gold with invention and entrepreneurialism.
Id say gnome meets Warhammer orcs.
Here before Prince Maldy reacts to this, love your content doood
The most important and interesting goblin to me, is Marin Noggenfogger, Champion of the Uncrowned and Ruler of Gadgetzan nowadays.
He is one of the smartest goblins without shenanigans and managed to survive every expansion since vanilla, improving his backstory to the better. 💪🏻
"Prince Maldy" oh you know what Im thinking...
Fun fact: Many consider the goblins to be the ones that truly defeated Archemonde in Warcraft3
The landmines sure are usefulm
Prince Maldy? Damn, cant wait for Asmon to react
OH NO NO NO :PePeLaugh:
PepeLaugh
Response: did not believe it.
The production quality to view count ratio is absolutely ab-fucking-surd. This stuff is awesome and I'm stunned it's not better seen. Incredible.
All I can say is that the goblins we know from Warcraft 3 are bold, brave and badass: the airship crew, that robotic machine that can cut 75 wood points in one turn, those crazy suicidal explosives specialists, the Hero guy that can construct a mini-factory of battle robots and perform a spaming missile attack... Pure awesomeness!
My man putting chapters like this is the Snyder cut
This was way more entertaining than the Snyder cut
@@zoltronzero true
snyders cut sucked
@@LGsson we'll be seeing more of their kind tho. Hollywood's new scheme has been revealed.
@@Morec0 ngl the movie grew on me, I actually love it now
This is an unconventional level of effort/passion/production for a WoW lore youtuber. Hats off to you, sir! Subbed and belled.
Here before the Undead Texan reacts
This is the best one i've read.
The undead texan is occupied raging over ESO
Cant wait for his face when he learns about Prince MALDy
Yee haw
@@knightofthenine3121 oh was it about pvp or pve this time?
A while ago I went over wow races and realized they fit into 4 categories very nicely. Former Robots, Trolls+, made by the wild gods, and aliens.
Then I remembered goblins.
if I remember correctly, the goblins were created by Deathwing before the war of the ancients (in the book they were an "unknown" race serving him in his lair)
Gobbos are the best. They boom, they zoom, they live near Sargeras's Tomb.
The most astounding thing still is that Darin DePaul voices Gallywix. The same guy who voices Reinhardt and Blackhand... Emperor Valkorion in SWTOR... and so many more.. that guy is just amazing.
You can really see how much you enjoy making these videos, and they're brilliant - all of the machinima parts are so well done, the use of WoW sounds and audio, the writing and narration is hilarious. I wish I could watch one of these every week. But taking your time to make them is preferable!
The story to start playing as a goblin was one of the funniest things I did in wow, and even though I read every quest I still can't recall how the explosives turned into a town or why there were laser sharks at all.
I remember that the laser sharks were used to murder the big shark because they wanted to eat it. But I do not understand how the explosives turning into a town was supposed to work. I THINK it was in a compressed box of some sorts, and the explosives... idk opened it? lol
Here before real life prince Maldy reacts to this.
I've done the goblin starting zone once when cata came out and then never again
There are so many great visuals in this. Great video work platinum!
Fact: most goblins have cool hairline just like one other person has.
Also 13:58
That moment your goblin goes "WTF THRALL? I RESCUED YOU AND YOU LET HIM CONTINUE TO BOSS US AROUND? WHERE'S MY REWARD DAMNIT!"
Excellent video, from the different scenes, to the way your voice delivered the lines. Awesome job! Makes me love my little goblin even more.
I love playing as a Goblin! They are such a fun race and their racials to me are interesting. I especially love their heritage armor set and the questline to get it. Another fun race I love playing as is the Pandaren and I cannot wait until they get their heritage armor
This was hilarious. Keep the lore videos coming!
Goblins need more lore love! Thanks for the vid man, it was awesome!
Totally agree with you
The story of the goblins kind of remind of the Italian mafia. They have huge businesses and are always strategizing for new business ideas but they also love and crave power.
The part where the goblin said: Say hello to my little friend.
And the tiny one replied: I'm the little friend, say hello.
That's hilarious.
All in all, goblins are quite entertaining. But I got to know Gallywix when he offered his staff to Sylvanas.
The editing is astonishing, awesome work Plat!
"The King of Diamonds has been made a pawn"
In Cartomancy the King of Diamonds is referred to as "represents a successful business man, one who runs his own business, a man of the fiances or a tycoon. He is very powerful, sharp, perceptive and shrewd."
Gallywix also wears a diamond of Azerite around his neck since the start of BFA.
The Horde Logo in Aszara is because of the Palm Isles in Dubai.
Rich ppl have Isles in the shape they want!
Plat, your videos are honestly maybe my favorite stories ever. I love the effort you put into the visuals and humor, keep it up 👍
I can't be the only one who noticed Kerrigan from the Brood War cover on the screen at 5:17
The literal god will soon be here
Can't wait for him to see Prince Maldy lolol
All hail the king of spergs!
Is that true?!? Yo, is it?!
@@Morec0 well, he is in Wowpedia, so I guess it's legit??
@@Morec0 yo, man, like, what the fuck doood?
I still wanna know why Thrall was on a random alliance ship in the middle of the ocean.
Because he was travelling somewhere (probably Maelstrom) when the Alliance commited a straight was crime, attacked him, and captured him, then tried to kill the goblins to hide it.
This is horde propoganda. Fake news
@@TheDapperDragon Alliance at the time thought he was still Warchief, a legitimate military target.
This is my favourite video of yours yet by far, your creativity when it comes to the non narrative-based parts is really really well done.
My favourite Goblin Lore Character is Gazlowe! This roguish thief, chief engineer and architect is a badass in his own right :)
you should do Starcraft lore, especially with how much effort & detail you put into your videos. It would be insane to see what that would look like with how much lore Starcraft has to offer.
Goblins are my favorite race too. I just love their insanity, the artstyle of their assets and the story’s they provide. The starting zone experience is incredibly fun and good storytelling (except the end when you defeat Gallywix). Also, the music fits so perfect…
your video's get better and better so good i love experiencing wow lore in this format
Just today rewatched some of your vids! Great timing for a new one - I am hyped
>Prince Maldy
Holy shit, Asmon's going to have a field day with this.
Chat's gonna love it
The cave part has Iron Man 1 written all over lol. amazing!
I can't stop watching your videos they're so good!
May you’re videos are so good, only just discovered you this week! You put a lot of effort into your content, it shows, well played! 🙌🏻
PlatinumWow seems like the kind of guy who would really enjoy the Warhammer Orks.
For real, the thing that I was the most hyped about Cataclysm was that we would get to play the gobelins. I rolled a rogue (naturally) and it has been my main since 2014.
This was hilarious, and so well put together
As always informative, hilarious and visually pleasing. Your so talented keep it up
The true story of how goblins came to be.... a troll, an orc, and a female gnome went into a hotel room. 9 months later, the first goblin was born....
Now there is just all the other goblin lore. The other cartels, the second war and so forth.
dude this is so well produced;
u should have 5 mil subs
good work
Platinum Wow and Internet Historian videos are peak TH-cam
6:03 did he say n____ you gotta be kiddin me? LMAOOOOOO NO WAYYY
"you you you gotta be kiddin me" is what he said lol
"prepare the mecha chicken"
**alex jones roar**
i can't stop laughing!!!
genuinely the goblin starting act felt like a fever dream after the edgy worgen starting zone
i cannot even describe how i completely ADORE your videos. So fcking entertaining, well made and proffesionaly guided. Your lore videos are just pure magnificent ! keep on doing your flawless work and i hope you will be here to entertain us for long future ahead as well !
For some reason it makes me laugh every time there are trolls speaking their language... 😂 Maybe I'm just too high..
"WHY IS THIS KOAKO BUTTER SO SLIPPERY! GYAAAH- GET ME A TOWEL! Whoever bought, the slippery Koako butter IS FIIIRED!" 😅😂🤣
Damn these videos are improving in quality so much. I don't really play wow but I still watch these well made skits, great job!
This video has made me create a goblin character for myself to experience all this myself
reason we use swords is because some reason people Jack enough to cut through a mec suit
Which begs the question of why all that investment and time in building clunky, extremely complex, (likely) expensive mech suits with likely thousands of sensitive, moving parts when some random dudes with massive, muscular arms can slice through them like paper with oversized, enchanted butter knifes!
I guess as far as goblins go gallywix was the one who had a unique enough design to remain as leader. And besides its not like the other goblins would hesitate to do the same thing to each other.
His model before BFA was just a random Goblin model
I love playing goblins but absolutely LOATHE their starting areas. At least, all the stuff after Kezan.
Yo, I really like these videos. Thanks for making them man. Cheers
