0:49 The horde would've been an unstoppable force but the civil unrest between the clans and the betrayal of Gul'dan allowed the Alliance to form premades and gain the upper hand
Classic exactly, but Gul'dan is asmongold or some shit
@@sinyst42 nah asmon hates mages.
@@TheMock5000 Gul'dan was a warlock
@@TheMock5000 Warlocks probably do, too. Especially if they're power-hungry orcs that die raiding a formerly underwater tomb.
The Horde should have been genocided.
- the Orcs imagine all races of Azeroth united under one banner.
Imagine that.
Kil'Jaedan's asscrack would have never stopped being in a flood of sweat.
The true bromance is Platinum and his good uploading schedule
What is bromance?
This didn't age well:D
lore videos are normally kinda boring, youre classic wow lore series is entertaining to watch. Good editing and storytelling, thx for the vid
Also his well placed humor.
I love it
I thought he was gonna say "Scooby and Doo"... I'm dumb
haha same
Fuck i was about to write the same thing
“To show how badass they are to join the clan you had to have one of your teeth knocked out”
Shattered hand clan: “that’s cute”
Lightning's Blade clan: *Pathetic*
Bleeding Hollow clan: Want some shroooms?
Nutcrusher Clan: "Take a guess at how you join our clan." **Hits two giant stone hammers together.**
@@Gruntman1234 Ah yes. Perfectly crack a Walnut open with the utmost precision
@@Gruntman1234 LMAO XDDD
Can we just appreciate that Platinum gave Orgrim Doomhammer the Doomhammer in the machinima?
Is anyone else watching this and wondering... why the hell doesn’t blizzard make videos like this to actually help people learn about their game lmfao?? Seems like an easy way to get new people into the game if they made interesting back story videos...
Blizzard doesnt care about their games anymore, just the never ending chase for profit.
@@Mcspazz731 They could probably make classic wow extremely profitable but they put zero effort into it lol. I didn't see a single Classic wow advertisement until like the day before classic came out
I guess just dident see an oppertunity to make money from it.. thats all they care about these days
but how could they charge you to buy books full of lore if they gave it away free on youtube (or in-game).
Blizz (controlled by Activision and changed from within over the years) literally only cares for money and profit now.
The only reason we even got official Vanilla was because it was the most profitable thing to do (which is also why we will likely get at least TBC and maybe even Wrath)
Lol... At 3:25 I was like "really? Wasted opportunity to reference Demon's souls"... Then I heard the music
Gg
Ik when he said demon souls i was like :0
what song is this?
Its important to note that in the Rise of the Horde book (which is a great read) Rend and Maim were magically aged through warlock spells. It left them incredibly debilitated for weeks but when they came back to, they were unnecessarily cruel and vicious. They became vindictive and depraved, twisted by Fel and Nether magic. It was a very disgusting moment in the book, because they were just kids, growing up and doing kids stuff and then just twisted in every way imaginable by the order of Blackhand.
The nefarian fight seems EPIC! All those random effects make it seem that much more dynamic. Amaze.
No it wasn’t nerfed, just not as impactful as you might think. My guild definitely called them out but the fight kind of just kept on going.
Man, this vid had quite a lot of puns in its!
You could truly say that platinum is a *puny* mortal!
The seal...
LOL
😂😂
The deal :P
Rend and Maim were also some of the first orcs that the warlocks used Life Drain on to age-up (so they'd have more soldiers for fighting the draenei), so developmentally they're still teenagers at best.
I love the fact that he switched to Demon's Souls music when the Dragon Soul was corrupted into the Demon Soul xD
We really need these for the Cataclysm stories too.
For all the stories!
10:01 Is that Yoda's death sound from LEGO Star Wars?!
Yes, it is
I've always thought Blackrock Mountain was cool, mainly in Vanilla. It's a gigantic stone stronghold so large that there are multiple unrelated factions based inside, each one spying on and trying to undermine the others. You've got Ragnaros in the basement, the Dark Irons in the city next-door, the Blackhand siblings in the Spire, and then Nefarian in Blackwing Lair.
By modern wow, pretty much everyone has been cleared out by various bands of murder adventurers, except for the Dark Irons who have now joined the alliance. I presume the Dark Irons have reclaimed the rest of the mountain, so I guess they were the ones to 'win' in the end.
dark horde: to join us you need to loose a tooth
shattered hand: literally have your hand smashed off and replaced with a blade
I really love the Blackrock. The Dungeons, the Raids, the Story, the Zones around it, everything is just perfect. And for me, even in 2020, still a Masterpiece from Blizzard.
It's interesting how the whole "Shamanism is similar to the Earth Warder's power" thing seemed to be a callback to Zuluhed's Dark Shamanism not working on the Dragon/Demon Soul and his need of a Warlock to use it in his place. So it wasn't a TOTAL asspull to have Thrall play Aspect-for-a-Day.
Deathwing: “hehehehe come chase me”
You saw the video too?! What a coincidence! /s
What vid u talkin bout?
You know you never really catch the dragon right
I'M GONNA PUNCH THAT DRAGON IN THE FACE!
" Our warriors may be few in number but they are extremely _skilled_ "
Nefarian has to be my favorite boss in Classic WoW. There’s so much awesomeness about him from his epic voice to his crazy boss fight.
"Do you have the seal?"
"yes..."
**channels magic**
**yeets a fukkin seal at the door**
"it didn't work..."
LOL
hilarious
The whole blackrock progression was just amazing to experience back then. Just stepping into UBRS was awesome, fighting rend and having nefarian teased on the balcony…and then finally going into BWL at the mountain peak. Felt so epic!
Hmm his cinematics are better than Warcraft 3 reforged ones
I can’t imagine the amount of time it takes to make such quality videos like this. Amazing. 11/10 stars!
I love that little bit with the "Too Many Cooks" soundtrack. It's fucking hilarious.
A very well crafted and educational video - please more! :)
Another amazing video brother!!
Good lord i hope more people find your content. It is amazing, i'm on a binge
I know i would sound boring, but there are few incorrect pieces of lore in here:
- After Lothar fell, Doomhammer was defeated by sir Thuralion. Not some bunch of punk-ass alliance infantry :D
- Those emissaries from draenor were no other than Theron Gorefiend and Thagar Spinebreaker. And when the parlay didn't go as planned, they were offered aid not by Nefarian, but by Deathwing himself. The Draenor horde were offered aid, not the dark one. Nefarian and Onyxia were merely sent by Deathwing to subjugate the dark horde clans, once conversation between Gorefiend and Deathwing was finished.
Why would Deathwing want to help em, you ask? He had plan of bringing the eggs of black dragon flight into draenor, and thus having 2 worlds conquered, not just Azeroth. So he offered help of black dragons flight in exchange for free pass for some "cargo" - which happened later.

You seem to add a lot of H's where there doesn't need to be H's.
why weren't the dwarves and the dragons on the same page? They all served the Old Gods
Ty for info
I really liked Edwin van Cleef's story. Always did.
A powerful seal is guarding the entrance!... How powerful?.. I don´t know..around level 70? It is a skull to me.
1:20 IS BETTER THAN W3 REFORGED ILLIDAN VS ARTHAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is rrally that bad?
Gundislav Visual-wise, it looks good. Except Arthas’ face.
But in animation and choreography. It looks bad.
Tbh the original fight wasn't any better than the reforged one.
10:01 NOT YODA!
I would love if Blizzard would let you make official lore videos for all the new dungeons. I would love to watch those and see your videos get greater reach!
Got a good chuckle out of the seal and the yoda death sound effect. Good video as usual!
5:52 Like if you cry every time 😔
EEEYAAAH!
The entire part with the seal nearly killed me. I found it WAY funnier that I should have.
How does these videos not have 1 million+ views?? They are so good
My favorite bad pun from Classic WoW was logging in and seeing that the Guild Message of the Day was "Whackbling Lair raid tonight".
This is the same GM who referred us learning the 4 Emerald Nightmare green dragons as doing "whirled boss" attempts. Ahh, nostalgia.
Back when a lore character mattered. Good old classic!
Before all the resurrections and time travel shananigans.
When lore was worldcentric not charactercentric
Are we going to ignore how many of the characters were just filler? Wow has always had good characters, look at Arthas, Kaelthelas, Bolvar etc. Sure I prefer classic myself, but dont pretend the story was anywhere near as good
Thyst told me on CTR to come watch you! Glad i did, can't wait for your next steam
Nefarian: ...and dragons...! ZOMBIE DRAGONS.
When Vael punted a player across the room- I felt that.
If you have a Demon Hunter in your group, Nefarian will blind everybody for a few seconds, making the whole screen black, and you can only see your UI.
How badass is that?!
Blizz is creativeness. Well, at least they was.
@@WillVRam their creative team is still top-tier. they are not the decisionmakers :p
@@udozocklein6023 Still, their fall is a great loss for many of us long time fans.
@@angkhoanguyen6114 nothing we can do about that now, sadly. i used to love WoW many years ago, but times changed and people changed, of course, including me.
You deserve WAY more subs than you currently have!! I just added myself to your army, and turned on notifications ^.^
Questing, zones, lore, dungeons, raids, these where my favorite dudes.
Ah, brs, the first "raid", these vids brings so much nostalgia for me.
I literally love your videos. thank u for blessing our eyes and ears
After playing the reforged tides of darkness, it makes you appreciate rend more. Rend and Maim fought Cho'gall.
I hope your able to do this full time I love your videos.
Platinum WoW, you do awesome videos and i start to discover the Lore of WoW by your videos, thank for do this videos and please coutinue doing it
I remember back in BC; which was the expansion I started in, I had just got started doing runs in the the lower half of the BlackRock spire and meeting Vaelan for the first time. I was cut off from wow at that moment because my dad didn't want me being lazy and sitting in front of the computer then.
The original seal you get from Vael was actually kissed by a rose, too.
Nobbel might have the huge breadth of books and EU stuff, but this is way more entertaining summary. Bravo.
hah love the perfectly timed Demon's Souls music at 3:21
Victor Nefarius not only has the most cartoony name but also a cartoony villan lines when defeated LOL
that DEMON SOUL MUSIC
Maim's death scene is worthy of an Oscar.
What about the goblins? Where do they fit in in all this?
Little tidbit of info
Maim became more of an obedient and rabid dog to Rend. It became a very strange relationship where Maim was more of a loyal pet over a brother
The history of Blackrock Mountain is soo interesting!!
Absolutely great videos, I suscribed even if I don´t play WoW anymore.
The printers just went down for a whole department but fuck work! Platinum made a VID!
I can appreciate my Blackrock Spire runs more now, thanks
I lost it when he threw the Seal at Rend 😂
I watched these videos for the 3rd time now, thanks for your efford to entertain us :)
so many points in video where I wanted to click the like button only to realize that I already clicked it
Any one think anduin lothars armor should be the human heritage armor
LOVED the too many cooks bit there!
"Instead of attacking players, he just says he'll get you pesky adventurers next time and runs off"
Not sure if Platinum played in vanilla days, but nearly once every pug run. Someone would dot him or pull him and he would just decimate the group.
Your presentation is actually so good
lovely video mate ,3
Classic wow sounds awesome but I could never survive. I’m thankful to have grown up with the pampered more streamlined wow. But I can definitely see how back then even if you weren’t an RPer WoW still made you go an epic adventures and get immersed in the world in a way that’s really interesting and challenging
Love the Too Many Cooks reference :D
And Nefarian wanted to make some dragons that could really taste the rainbow...
The first lore video that was easy to follow and doesnt suck. Nice work. This game while the greatest mmo ever could have been better managed by the team if they had a PROPER STORY!
I hope we get some more D&D-esque story telling in Dragonflight.
I like how you used demon Souls music at the part about the demon soul
Ahh man i love how he put Demon souls intro music during the Demon souls part
Elementals evolved into dragons. I think is fitting a corehound become dragonlike.
Big respect for Too Many Cooks, what a vid.
"The true lord of black rock" the slow traps
Something I would changed in Vanilla WoW is that instead being killed by the Dark Iron dwarves, Maim Blackhand survived and while Rend Blackhand becomes the Warchief of the Dark Horde and the Chieftain of the Blackrock Clan while Maim becomes the sole Chieftain of the Black Tooth Grin Clan with would still exist instead of being merged into the Blackrock clan and Main would become the Final Boss of Lower Blackrock Spire
editing is A++++
Ok i lost my shit at the seal
Hey, in 0:45 there's tauren, but they joined Horde only after that, when Thrall led the orcs to Kalimdor
Always loved the idea of the Dark Horde. a third faction to play as would have been a better idea than the mess we got post-cata
These cutscenes are too good
Whats the OST that starts playing at 1:16?
Blackrock
th-cam.com/video/7tztL0r2g9I/w-d-xo.html
Wasn't the quote that Deathwing said from South Park? The Guitar Hero episode, where there is a segment where in the game "Heroin Hero", the player chases the Purple Dragon?
7:43 Leroy Jenkins.
That seal joke :D
"HE EATS GNOMES", that's a good doggo
lol is it just me or Lore wise the Horde defeat all the big bad ememies?
Let the games begin
3:29 "Enslave Alexstrasza" my dream made true.
Cool man. Cool and normal.
Neltharion's dad deathwing wanted her as a sex slave. FACT!
That seal scene was hilarious LOL
I thought chromaggus was just one of their first attempts.Basically just put there to show us how close they were to success
