@@Athelarius I appreciate the time you put into these I really do. There is no way for someone to really understand the lore the way blizzard implements it.

Thanks for your support! Can recount all the memories we've made throughout the various expansion time periods of this franchise, and it's been a marvelous journey. I'm still partial to the "original lore" which I believe is from Warcraft 3 and TBC/Wrath which I believe was meant to be Warcraft 4 (along with Legion). It truly is the greatest game ever made due to the incredible creativity & design by the developers & writers of that bygone era, with iconic character moments, cinematics, voice acting and music. May Warcraft have a bright future and one day hit the the big screen as a trilogy~!
The storytelling of Warcraft 3 is utterly insane... a true masterpiece. I think that's how they were able to effortlessly coast through Classic, BC, and Wrath. Only with Cataclysm were they forced to start inventing new material and it surely did not go well.
Legit all blizzard had to do was to make wc3 cinematics into a movie series... warcraft reign of chaos - warcraft the frozen throne. The warcraft lore beats any marvel movie to date...

I injured my back this week so i was stuck on the recliner, my kids and I had a good time watching this. Its always nice to brush up on wow lore when you can. Great job putting this together 👏
Thanks for the support. That’s an incredible family and fantastic to hear the magic of the Warcraft franchise spreading to a new generation! Glad to hear people are making it through the full thing. Warcraft definitely has a very hefty, diverse lore. Now if only we can one day get a Warcraft trilogy on the big screen.
Hope you healed up good, back pain sucks. Military and construction kinda screwed mine up, well no i screwed it..i guess dont try to be a 250lb monster if your only 192lb lol my nerd ass got my 4 brats all hooked into gaming to. my 8 year old is playing everquest now
Thanks so much. Always love to organize lore over the years for those who’ve missed or those who’d love to catch up. Always feel free to share with friends!
That first cinematic gives me chills just like it did almost 20 years ago in Warcraft RTS series. Man... what I would give to have games like this again today.
Warcraft:Orcs&Humans Warcraft II:Tides of Darkness Warcraft II:Beyond the Dark Portal Warcraft III:Reign of Chaos Warcraft III:Frozen Throne The best part for me
I've played WoW for 15+ years and never knew why/how Blood Elves fled to outland until now. Thank you, this video probably took so much work to put together.
I'm watching this in two parts because I want to enjoy it fully. I was a player that started her journey in WoTLK and stopped halfway MoP but there's so much I was confused about, this cleared a lot of my questions. Thank you!!
Thanks for the support! After MoP, WoD was basically the precursor to Legion, the true successor expansion to Wrath. Early BFA was also great, but Legion just felt like it wrapped up a lot of plot events nicely. But Warcraft 3, TBC and Wrath definitely hold a special place in my heart!
Yeah a lot has changed with talents and classes and pets, it’s going down hill but only a little, the last couple expansions really messed everything up. Everything acually kinda went down hill after cataclysm. 😢 there is the old school Warcraft which is the classic, but I have to start from scratch and remembering how it was back in the day, lol you could spend a month playing to just level 5 times.
Thanks for the support! Can definitely say Warcraft 3 is the bread and butter that cemented the franchise. This mainly covers w3 and what I consider to be “Warcraft 4” (TBC and wrath with an extension to legion in some parts). Hoping one day we see Warcraft get a trilogy or two on the big screen!
Dude I literally thought I have to see all the warcraft cinematics in order to compensate for the thought I had 3 years ago which I thought I should saw all the warcraft scenes in order. Now finally Iam seeing this. Thanks a lot . No, Iam not crazy just excited. ❤️😂
the Alternative/Additional Campaign in Frozen Throne expansion with Rexxar doing all kinds of quests in Durotar was the original World of Warcraft you start to level up, you have access to a big chunk of Durotar and you do all this as the construction of Orgrimmar is going on, you do many different quests while the main quest line is the quests you get from Thrall and you get different items while leveling up, this is where they came up with the idea of World of Warcraft as an MMORPG.
I finally found a Warcraft story channel which has no narrator and respect the lore, the first channel that can makes me stay for more than 5 minutes (I haven't skip one of your video, I stay for the whole time). I discovered it by searching for entertainment while camping the Time-Lost Proto-Drake. Keep up the good work, it's worth bingewatching.
Thank you so much for this. I will be going to sleep to this nightly as Warcraft I,II,III, DOTA, LoL, and LoR shaped my life. I am so thankful someone has the time, patience and love to put together what we love so deeply, to give us a small pieces of the time in our lives when life had hope as opposed to today where there is nothing but despair.
This must've taken decades to put together... I've never had the focus to complete Warcraft 3; I did play through all the WoW content though (up to Cataclysm); this has really cemented what's what and who's who. Thank you for making this, I always wanted to watch something like this.
Quite literally. Warcraft 3 holds a special place in my heart, with the VA, creative design and passion of the original team showing in every scene and moment that cemented the franchise. Can also consider the ending of Wrath as part of the “original lore” until the day we got legion which was phenomenal. For now it’s all memories to be shared with friends in the ages to come. Feel free to share and hopefully one day we get a trilogy or 2 for the Franchise!
Warcraft 3 on its own could feature a trilogy. But definitely TBC and Wrath could be their own movies as well. So I could see 6 movies. Or 3 really big ones. Ah the dream to one day see Warcraft on the big screen with its greatest stories being told (Arthas, Illidan, Scourge, Legion)
warcraft 3 man what a game the characters were so prefect there was like gods to me along with starcraft 1 and 2 just wow i felt immersed completely like it was like i was in those universes in it's entirety i will not forget it even in death
I grew up with this game. I learned. I fell in love. I found a friend. This game was not just a game but a lifestyle. Thank you Blizzard for this valuable game. But when I see a good company like blizzard, which has taken a lot of effort to give this to us players, has left its mission with several mistakes and abandoned the game and only thinks about making money for the core. It hurts my heart when I see that the game I loved is disappearing
@@iriswaldenburger2315 true, but the fact remains, their cut scenes have always been far superior and added a TON to the game and world. Almost makes me wish they had done the Warcraft Movie full CGI, the real actors ruined it haha. Not to mention the movie doesn’t follow the “actual lore” either. Durotan and Draka are brutally murdered by assassins in the woods after trying to convince doomhammer to help them turn away from guldan. Thrall is found, as an infant, laying by his unrecognizable and dismembered parents. He is found by Lord Blackmoore an alcoholic human jerk. 😝
One of my favorite stories of all time! was never really really good at the game! But gah did i love playing it and reading on the story! so much material to make an amazing series! 0.0
A dream of mine to one day see a trilogy or two make it on the big screen for the Warcraft franchise. Arthas-Lich King story and the Legion deserve it at the very least.
@@Athelarius they should have just made all the movies about Arthas and Illidan. The two most beloved characters and we saw neither on the big screen. The movie we got was great but it wasn’t their strongest story. Imagine a trilogy called Frostmourne and the films are 1: The Rise of the Lich King, Part 2: The Might of the Scourge(or The Curse of the Blade), Part 3: The Frozen Throne. Part 1 starts in the stables with Invincible and ends when Arthas gets Frostmourne and abandons his men to head off into the snowy wastes of Northrend. Part 2 he comes home, raises an army and marches on the elves and dalaran. He starts to lose control and must fight his way to escape back to Northrend. Part 2 ends when he puts on the helm of domination and takes his seat on the throne. Part 3 is all about Tirion reforging the Order of the Knights of the Silver Hand and recruiting new members for the expedition as well as the ebon blade in order to stop Arthas. Ends the same as the end of raid cinematic for ICC but gives a bit more detail thereafter regarding the world and how it is returning to normal. Final scene is the Sargaras watching in the distance through an orb that resembles Azeroth
For me Warcraft’s story ended with Wrath. It closed all the stories with main characters from Warcraft 3. Wow had good expansions after wrath but it slowly started to feel forced more and more. Legion was the only exception.
i love you, getting older ive missed content, from outland days when i started plying in Australian when we got good internet, it was dragonflight i stopped playing EVERY day. Now i dont have time at all but your video cinematics touch my heart
@@teezy786 Growing up knowing the world had internet worth gaming on was a bitch hahaha. I remember dial up and lag, but when Outland was being released DSL was also staring to be the standard and wasnt so bad for wow
Thanks for the support! If only Warcraft could get a trilogy or 2 one the big screen like it truly deserves. Arthas story alone would be a hit with the Legion threat another one.
The video title states that it is ALL CINEMATICS from Warcraft 3 to Dragonflight. Why does this end at the conclusion of Lich King? I was hoping to see everything and not simply the majority of the content I already saw.
Hurts more when you realize the Arthas storyline was the major reason Warcraft 3 is remembered so fondly. All the way till Wrath, which I guess we can consider Warcraft 4 (Wrath, TBC and maybe Legion). Illidan was also quite popular from Warcraft 3 and he at least got a better ending with Legion after TBC. Poor Kael’thas though.
It's just a new wave of "game design majors" kids that have no love or loyalty to the franchise, and do the hip new trend of "subversion" without having an inkling on what they're doing. This is when the unworthy is given the role to something they have little care or passion for. It's practically non-canon.
The sad thing about Arthas is though that there is not much to redeem. He made the choices he made willingly and freely like Garrosh also did. Whereas Illidan and Sylvanas were forced.
Thank you for this! Everything past Wrath of the Lich King is such a fuzz to me as I didn't play them. I'll make sure to check your other videos about older content aswell. This video here really made me miss the good old Warcraft 3, might just play the campaign again. I fell in love with this world, I remember when I was like 10 years old when WOTLK cinematic came out and I was like "NO.. He finally woke!" Back then I was too young to play WoW so I kinda kept my eye on the lore back then.
Thanks for the support! This is a full compilation of Warcraft 3, and what I consider to be Warcraft 4 (TBC and Wrath) in one full movie as the “original lore”. So it definitely covers everything in detail!
Arthus kicks in the door, walks in in skulls and black "its not a phase dad, its a lifestyle" Kills the king. Starts playing "kill the king by Megadeath"
So good and so sad at the same time, to watch this. It brings a lot of good memories, but it also makes me remember how bli$$ is today... Now their moto is "Max profit with less effort". I do miss the old days when it was "It's ready when it's ready", and "State-of-the-Art Gaming"... But man, your video was perfect, thank you so much @Athelarius.
Sad to see how Warcraft Lore got so mangled up because the current writers simply don't even know the story they are writing they have to piggyback on established stories and characters and retcon the shit out of them.
You should consider using the some of the remastered cinematics that have been made such as the wrathgate one by IKedit, if they were ok with that ofcourse.
I love that canonicly my characters have been resurrected by king terenas. Story-lore wise that'd have been our only ressurection and a huge deal but oh well herp derp memories are neat. anyway dude ty, you rock for consistently making these
Thank you for your support! This is a compilation of what is considered the "original" lore and wraps up the arcs of Warcraft 3 nicely, through TBC and Wrath. Although I still wish we could've gotten a Warcraft 4. One day perhaps. And maybe we see Warcraft hit the big screen in true movie format.
oh jeez WHGY THE REFORGED GRAFICS OMG MY EYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES. Anyways, GREAT edits. Also where is this quest from where u stand on Sylvanas statue and talking about her ? is it Horde only ?
I had no idea Illidans path was so wrought with goodness, despite his awful deeds. And to lose both the Druid thing AND Tyrande to his brother had to sting.
This is amazing, thank you. Having so much fun watching this. A lot of the lore finally piecing together. Do you have some sort of tipping/donation thing setup?
Hmmm I probably wouldn't buy I guess because it'd be created just for the hype, its exploitation, and in the end, money (remember, this is part of the marketing mentality of shallowness and selfishness that is killing the actual world btw, and not just the music or gaming industry, and it's actually rewarded because ppl use their brains so much; so much that we "all" wanna pretend we still live in the 90s, on average -could be 80s or 00s- and we don't owe ourselves and the world real fights, not with swords or guns, but first of all with mental resistance and willingness to truly understand where our problems truly lie plus each other's (+our own personal) issues, and learn from and improve and support each other instead of always belittling everyone and only fulfilling selfish goals, accepting the constant promotion of "winning" and domination and effectiveness no matter how, and hypocritically parroting quotes n stuff online or irl to sound cool, while not giving fks in reality, because that's how you are judged as healthy according to the majority of ppl out there (meanwhile, they do care too much about certain topics to the point they're blinded and hateful, and even try to dictate how you should live and die, and remember "democracy", one of the most raped words in the last years, only when they can exploit it to their and their friends' advantage, and otherwise dismiss any opinion, logical argument or fair point that doesn't suit their egoistic view and presents an obstacle to their plans), to the sht that's thrown at us constantly so innocently but we let them slide and slowly shape our taste to some degree, our humor, our beliefs and ultimately, core, our standards/priorities, plus the pure fanaticism masked as values and honor and patriotism, or the impression that trolling and/or exploiting everyone makes you smart, or that welcoming your impending doom is fine and trendy and you can just tell yourself "if you can't avoid something you should enjoy it", and so on, lol, I could easily continue), I just miss my old RTSs, WC 2-3 and warlords battlecry 2-3. And I bet if I ever find the time for a second/third game again I'll be able to revisit these series, and not feel forced to buy a supposedly shiny but most likely empty shell of what really good RTSs used to be, with new flashy 257k HD graphics and models that may easily have less detail and lack the brilliant simplicity and depth/atmosphere the 20 or 30 year old games had. I don't wanna say it's our generation and how we don't love our work (I am lazy too) but maybe our parents were indeed more capable, more active and determined, or it's the new technology that (usually if not always, to me) feels more fake despite the improved technical stuff. Dunno. Or the companies don't treat their staff how they should, like we've heard b4, and ...guess what, mainly try to exploit their work while some "smarties" are sitting all day seeing their bank accounts get more zeros... Hey, mine has one too, everyone's got something in this beautiful system. And if I'd just be an orc in that mine in shadowmoon valley's corner (WORK IS DA 💩) I'd have all the zeros in the world of Casheroth. p.s. I'm aware I threw in some generalizations that may be interpreted weirdly but hopefully some can guess what I really meant xD if anyone bothers to read this, which is doubtful and maybe it's for the best, if I'm not making sense at all. Imma finally go to bed now /yawn
Always god to hear. Warcraft has a very rich lore. And I’d say Warcraft 3 towards Wrath is the best and more faithful, along with the gem of an expansion that was Legion. I guess that was truly Warcraft 4. Early BFA was also memorable. A dream to one day see Warcraft hit the big screen as a true trilogy! Arthas and Legion story deserve it.
For me it became broken through heirlooms, LFG, and endless expansions that are pretty much no longer relevant. Even Wrath Classic is slipping into this rabbit hole and becoming a mini Retail. Oh, and cross server play. In VANILLA, you knew the people on your server. They were your friends and family. We learned and grew together. That, imo, is lost to the past as so many focus only on End Game, BiS, and themselves. Not the community as a whole.
38:30 Much different voice, but I like it. They hired the same guy who voiced Olberic from Octopath Traveler, a deep fearsome tone to all his characters.
Really just the main points. "Two factions battle for dominance, welcome to the world of warcraft, a new threat emerges, factions band together against the might of the enemy, then back to throwing pillows at each other," Ah Warcraft!

@@skibidi-pap1 haha thx, im just a geek who grew up got married to another geek and involve my kids in all my geeky hobbies 😆
@@Magdalena287 that's so awesome!!! You're family sounds so cool 😊
Thanks for the support. That’s an incredible family and fantastic to hear the magic of the Warcraft franchise spreading to a new generation! Glad to hear people are making it through the full thing. Warcraft definitely has a very hefty, diverse lore. Now if only we can one day get a Warcraft trilogy on the big screen.
Hope you healed up good, back pain sucks. Military and construction kinda screwed mine up, well no i screwed it..i guess dont try to be a 250lb monster if your only 192lb lol
my nerd ass got my 4 brats all hooked into gaming to. my 8 year old is playing everquest now
its craaaazy seeing the story together like this. so much lore
Thanks so much. Always love to organize lore over the years for those who’ve missed or those who’d love to catch up. Always feel free to share with friends!
That first cinematic gives me chills just like it did almost 20 years ago in Warcraft RTS series. Man... what I would give to have games like this again today.
Warcraft:Orcs&Humans
Warcraft II:Tides of Darkness
Warcraft II:Beyond the Dark Portal
Warcraft III:Reign of Chaos
Warcraft III:Frozen Throne
The best part for me
I member orcs and humans lol
First WoW cut scene still holds up, and still is one of the best ever.
I've played WoW for 15+ years and never knew why/how Blood Elves fled to outland until now. Thank you, this video probably took so much work to put together.
I'm watching this in two parts because I want to enjoy it fully. I was a player that started her journey in WoTLK and stopped halfway MoP but there's so much I was confused about, this cleared a lot of my questions. Thank you!!
Thanks for the support! After MoP, WoD was basically the precursor to Legion, the true successor expansion to Wrath. Early BFA was also great, but Legion just felt like it wrapped up a lot of plot events nicely. But Warcraft 3, TBC and Wrath definitely hold a special place in my heart!
Excuse my curiousity but are you arab?
i left live to go back to wotlk even started my own server a week or so after mop..how did you manage to suffer through even half of that shitshow
Man, Blizzard really defined my childhood entertainment, it is really sad to see the direction this company has gone.
I agree. I wish there was a way to bring back to life Warcraft 2 :( . But I heard, nothing certain, they might reforge it, so let's keep our hopes up.
Yeah a lot has changed with talents and classes and pets, it’s going down hill but only a little, the last couple expansions really messed everything up. Everything acually kinda went down hill after cataclysm. 😢 there is the old school Warcraft which is the classic, but I have to start from scratch and remembering how it was back in the day, lol you could spend a month playing to just level 5 times.
I have been playing since Warcraft 2, really skipped the majority of 3, so this is binding so many questions and plot holes for me. Thank you!
Thanks for the support! Can definitely say Warcraft 3 is the bread and butter that cemented the franchise. This mainly covers w3 and what I consider to be “Warcraft 4” (TBC and wrath with an extension to legion in some parts). Hoping one day we see Warcraft get a trilogy or two on the big screen!
NOSTALGIC... we can say that wow has come a long way with several generations of players
this was an amazing watch, i never paid so close attention to any movie or series before
thank you alot for creating this
Dude I literally thought I have to see all the warcraft cinematics in order to compensate for the thought I had 3 years ago which I thought I should saw all the warcraft scenes in order.
Now finally Iam seeing this. Thanks a lot .
No, Iam not crazy just excited. ❤️😂
better than watching a hollywood movie. thanks friend.
the Alternative/Additional Campaign in Frozen Throne expansion with Rexxar doing all kinds of quests in Durotar was the original World of Warcraft
you start to level up, you have access to a big chunk of Durotar and you do all this as the construction of Orgrimmar is going on, you do many different quests while the main quest line is the quests you get from Thrall and you get different items while leveling up, this is where they came up with the idea of World of Warcraft as an MMORPG.
I finally found a Warcraft story channel which has no narrator and respect the lore, the first channel that can makes me stay for more than 5 minutes (I haven't skip one of your video, I stay for the whole time). I discovered it by searching for entertainment while camping the Time-Lost Proto-Drake. Keep up the good work, it's worth bingewatching.
3:41:00 I like how Thrall left Rexxar talking and fought the enemy like he doesn't care about what he's gonna tell him.
Ishnu-dal-dieb! You've covered me on movies for a couple of evenings.
When Warcraft had actual lore, and not Sylvanas fanservice. Great movie :D
I never played back in the day, so it's crazy to see where it started and where it is today.
Thank you so much for this. I will be going to sleep to this nightly as Warcraft I,II,III, DOTA, LoL, and LoR shaped my life. I am so thankful someone has the time, patience and love to put together what we love so deeply, to give us a small pieces of the time in our lives when life had hope as opposed to today where there is nothing but despair.
This must've taken decades to put together... I've never had the focus to complete Warcraft 3; I did play through all the WoW content though (up to Cataclysm); this has really cemented what's what and who's who. Thank you for making this, I always wanted to watch something like this.
You don't need focus to finish WC3. You need focus to not finish the whole damn thing in one sitting.
Quite literally. Warcraft 3 holds a special place in my heart, with the VA, creative design and passion of the original team showing in every scene and moment that cemented the franchise. Can also consider the ending of Wrath as part of the “original lore” until the day we got legion which was phenomenal. For now it’s all memories to be shared with friends in the ages to come. Feel free to share and hopefully one day we get a trilogy or 2 for the Franchise!
Same ro
Thank you for this. I know it took you a LONG time to do this so, again thank you for your hard work.
Amazing! Thank you for uploading all of this
sir you are a legend for putting this together, just wanted too say I appreciate it very nicely done.
Love to hear, may the Warcraft story spread on through generations.
This would make for a great trilogy of movies.
Warcraft 3 on its own could feature a trilogy. But definitely TBC and Wrath could be their own movies as well. So I could see 6 movies. Or 3 really big ones. Ah the dream to one day see Warcraft on the big screen with its greatest stories being told (Arthas, Illidan, Scourge, Legion)
warcraft 3 man what a game the characters were so prefect there was like gods to me along with starcraft 1 and 2 just wow i felt immersed completely like it was like i was in those universes in it's entirety i will not forget it even in death
plz amazon or netflix, pay this guys to make the best series you will have ever made.
awesome job , i really enjoyed watching it.
But NOT with the pathetic line they took in Shadowlands
I can't thank you enough Athelarius. Piece of art.
Very cool, I watch it before bed and just chill
Good job! this is amazing, thank you for putting all of your time and effort into it!
I grew up with this game. I learned. I fell in love. I found a friend. This game was not just a game but a lifestyle. Thank you Blizzard for this valuable game. But when I see a good company like blizzard, which has taken a lot of effort to give this to us players, has left its mission with several mistakes and abandoned the game and only thinks about making money for the core. It hurts my heart when I see that the game I loved is disappearing
This is the most meaningful and englightening wow lore that I have ever witnessed. I think I should play though these amazing pieces of art.
bro this video deserves a lot more views, wonderful work
Beautiful. Thank you for the work. This history must be told.
I just wanted to say thank you for making this
Illidan has the most tragic story but is also the perfect embodiment of Nietzsche's "will to power" and absolutely adamantine courage.
Good job. One can appreciate the history and lore of Warcraft with this patched movie
Thanks for sharing this Warcraft Cinema movies.
Cutscenes are more engaging than warcraft movie
Lol, considering the Warcraft movie‘s lore ends before this video starts :)
@@iriswaldenburger2315 true, but the fact remains, their cut scenes have always been far superior and added a TON to the game and world. Almost makes me wish they had done the Warcraft Movie full CGI, the real actors ruined it haha.
Not to mention the movie doesn’t follow the “actual lore” either. Durotan and Draka are brutally murdered by assassins in the woods after trying to convince doomhammer to help them turn away from guldan. Thrall is found, as an infant, laying by his unrecognizable and dismembered parents. He is found by Lord Blackmoore an alcoholic human jerk. 😝
Honestly, I didn't hate the movie. It could have been much better but they did an ok job imo.
One of my favorite stories of all time! was never really really good at the game! But gah did i love playing it and reading on the story! so much material to make an amazing series! 0.0
A dream of mine to one day see a trilogy or two make it on the big screen for the Warcraft franchise. Arthas-Lich King story and the Legion deserve it at the very least.
@@Athelarius im hoping for the same man! Iv read the secrets of ulduar soooo many times! Such good material for good series man
@@Athelarius they should have just made all the movies about Arthas and Illidan. The two most beloved characters and we saw neither on the big screen. The movie we got was great but it wasn’t their strongest story. Imagine a trilogy called Frostmourne and the films are 1: The Rise of the Lich King, Part 2: The Might of the Scourge(or The Curse of the Blade), Part 3: The Frozen Throne. Part 1 starts in the stables with Invincible and ends when Arthas gets Frostmourne and abandons his men to head off into the snowy wastes of Northrend. Part 2 he comes home, raises an army and marches on the elves and dalaran. He starts to lose control and must fight his way to escape back to Northrend. Part 2 ends when he puts on the helm of domination and takes his seat on the throne. Part 3 is all about Tirion reforging the Order of the Knights of the Silver Hand and recruiting new members for the expedition as well as the ebon blade in order to stop Arthas. Ends the same as the end of raid cinematic for ICC but gives a bit more detail thereafter regarding the world and how it is returning to normal. Final scene is the Sargaras watching in the distance through an orb that resembles Azeroth
its so interesting also seeing all the orgins for most of the dota heroes. I miss wc3 so much
For me Warcraft’s story ended with Wrath. It closed all the stories with main characters from Warcraft 3. Wow had good expansions after wrath but it slowly started to feel forced more and more. Legion was the only exception.
i love you, getting older ive missed content, from outland days when i started plying in Australian when we got good internet, it was dragonflight i stopped playing EVERY day.
Now i dont have time at all but your video cinematics touch my heart
Aussies represent. Having worse internet than some 3rd world countries isn't great.
@@teezy786 Growing up knowing the world had internet worth gaming on was a bitch hahaha.
I remember dial up and lag, but when Outland was being released DSL was also staring to be the standard and wasnt so bad for wow
@@mifo2000 Yeah I remember the same man. I could barely game in Vanilla and had to have everything on the lowest possible speeds.
@teezy786 good old days haha
Thanks for this. What a way to spend Tuesday morning, I tell you...
This is the best thing since star wars ! Thank you!
Thanks for the support! If only Warcraft could get a trilogy or 2 one the big screen like it truly deserves. Arthas story alone would be a hit with the Legion threat another one.
why the hell does this not have 20m+ views
brillaint work dude, just epic
The video title states that it is ALL CINEMATICS from Warcraft 3 to Dragonflight. Why does this end at the conclusion of Lich King? I was hoping to see everything and not simply the majority of the content I already saw.
this makes me so sad that the arthas storyline got the most anti climatic ending in shadowlands
Hurts more when you realize the Arthas storyline was the major reason Warcraft 3 is remembered so fondly. All the way till Wrath, which I guess we can consider Warcraft 4 (Wrath, TBC and maybe Legion). Illidan was also quite popular from Warcraft 3 and he at least got a better ending with Legion after TBC. Poor Kael’thas though.
It's just a new wave of "game design majors" kids that have no love or loyalty to the franchise, and do the hip new trend of "subversion" without having an inkling on what they're doing. This is when the unworthy is given the role to something they have little care or passion for.
It's practically non-canon.
The sad thing about Arthas is though that there is not much to redeem. He made the choices he made willingly and freely like Garrosh also did. Whereas Illidan and Sylvanas were forced.
Great and nice work my friend!
This is the best story of all games. All of my childhood.
Thank you. Truly a childhood memory and a part of life, growing with the franchise for decades now.
Holy shit, I remember only playing through the horde story line in wc3. Watching all of this pieces so many memories together. Thank you!
Goosebump! The cinematic is better than the warcraft movie
The Jailor should win an award for this script.
Thanks so much for this!
Thank you for this! Everything past Wrath of the Lich King is such a fuzz to me as I didn't play them. I'll make sure to check your other videos about older content aswell.
This video here really made me miss the good old Warcraft 3, might just play the campaign again. I fell in love with this world, I remember when I was like 10 years old when WOTLK cinematic came out and I was like "NO.. He finally woke!" Back then I was too young to play WoW so I kinda kept my eye on the lore back then.
This is incredible! Thank you so much!
I'm a first go around wow player and gotta say your video is amazing. The you time spent, thank you so much💃⚘️
this has been amazing to watch, thank you, I didn't know most of the story.
Thanks for the support! This is a full compilation of Warcraft 3, and what I consider to be Warcraft 4 (TBC and Wrath) in one full movie as the “original lore”. So it definitely covers everything in detail!
I watched this with my dad and he got so nostalgic :)
When I want to know the Warcraft story I always come to Athelarius. Keep it up I send everyone new here.
Arthus kicks in the door, walks in in skulls and black "its not a phase dad, its a lifestyle" Kills the king. Starts playing "kill the king by Megadeath"
So good and so sad at the same time, to watch this. It brings a lot of good memories, but it also makes me remember how bli$$ is today...
Now their moto is "Max profit with less effort". I do miss the old days when it was "It's ready when it's ready", and "State-of-the-Art Gaming"...
But man, your video was perfect, thank you so much @Athelarius.
Thank you so much for this. Its Wonderfull. Good one!!!
this brings me back... good times. thank you for this!
I had saved this and finally watching it. Thank you so much
You have my respect for putting this together, earned a sub!
Sad to see how Warcraft Lore got so mangled up because the current writers simply don't even know the story they are writing they have to piggyback on established stories and characters and retcon the shit out of them.
4:17:52 are we just going to forgive wow for making a gryphon, the cross between a fucking eagle and a lion, the sound of a pigeon? LOL
You should consider using the some of the remastered cinematics that have been made such as the wrathgate one by IKedit, if they were ok with that ofcourse.
great work thanks
Incrediblly beautiful! That resolution is crystal clear! Much better than windows 95 😂
I love that canonicly my characters have been resurrected by king terenas. Story-lore wise that'd have been our only ressurection and a huge deal but oh well herp derp memories are neat. anyway dude ty, you rock for consistently making these
Thank you for your support! This is a compilation of what is considered the "original" lore and wraps up the arcs of Warcraft 3 nicely, through TBC and Wrath. Although I still wish we could've gotten a Warcraft 4. One day perhaps. And maybe we see Warcraft hit the big screen in true movie format.
@@Athelarius i actually really enjoyed the Warcraft movie- the changes made 'movie-goer' sense and it looked damned good - still does, heck.
oh jeez WHGY THE REFORGED GRAFICS OMG MY EYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES. Anyways, GREAT edits. Also where is this quest from where u stand on Sylvanas statue and talking about her ? is it Horde only ?
I had no idea Illidans path was so wrought with goodness, despite his awful deeds. And to lose both the Druid thing AND Tyrande to his brother had to sting.
Great work, really enjoyed this video. Been playing wow for 13 years and always wanted to really understand the lore
THIS IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED! It get's so confusing!
Well, Arthas theme is gonna be stuck in my head for looong time now :)))
Why has this not become an adult animated series yet. Thus would be epic. Even live action series would out do GOT imho. The writing is really good
VERY cool, i love the way its follow the story and jumps between all the different media.
Thank you for doing this.
This is amazing, thank you. Having so much fun watching this. A lot of the lore finally piecing together.
Do you have some sort of tipping/donation thing setup?
The movie we deserved
Now we need Warcraft 4
I guess we can consider that to be TBC+Wrath+Legion if you think about it.
Hmmm I probably wouldn't buy I guess because it'd be created just for the hype, its exploitation, and in the end, money (remember, this is part of the marketing mentality of shallowness and selfishness that is killing the actual world btw, and not just the music or gaming industry, and it's actually rewarded because ppl use their brains so much; so much that we "all" wanna pretend we still live in the 90s, on average -could be 80s or 00s- and we don't owe ourselves and the world real fights, not with swords or guns, but first of all with mental resistance and willingness to truly understand where our problems truly lie plus each other's (+our own personal) issues, and learn from and improve and support each other instead of always belittling everyone and only fulfilling selfish goals, accepting the constant promotion of "winning" and domination and effectiveness no matter how, and hypocritically parroting quotes n stuff online or irl to sound cool, while not giving fks in reality, because that's how you are judged as healthy according to the majority of ppl out there (meanwhile, they do care too much about certain topics to the point they're blinded and hateful, and even try to dictate how you should live and die, and remember "democracy", one of the most raped words in the last years, only when they can exploit it to their and their friends' advantage, and otherwise dismiss any opinion, logical argument or fair point that doesn't suit their egoistic view and presents an obstacle to their plans), to the sht that's thrown at us constantly so innocently but we let them slide and slowly shape our taste to some degree, our humor, our beliefs and ultimately, core, our standards/priorities, plus the pure fanaticism masked as values and honor and patriotism, or the impression that trolling and/or exploiting everyone makes you smart, or that welcoming your impending doom is fine and trendy and you can just tell yourself "if you can't avoid something you should enjoy it", and so on, lol, I could easily continue), I just miss my old RTSs, WC 2-3 and warlords battlecry 2-3.
And I bet if I ever find the time for a second/third game again I'll be able to revisit these series, and not feel forced to buy a supposedly shiny but most likely empty shell of what really good RTSs used to be, with new flashy 257k HD graphics and models that may easily have less detail and lack the brilliant simplicity and depth/atmosphere the 20 or 30 year old games had.
I don't wanna say it's our generation and how we don't love our work (I am lazy too) but maybe our parents were indeed more capable, more active and determined, or it's the new technology that (usually if not always, to me) feels more fake despite the improved technical stuff. Dunno. Or the companies don't treat their staff how they should, like we've heard b4, and ...guess what, mainly try to exploit their work while some "smarties" are sitting all day seeing their bank accounts get more zeros... Hey, mine has one too, everyone's got something in this beautiful system. And if I'd just be an orc in that mine in shadowmoon valley's corner (WORK IS DA 💩) I'd have all the zeros in the world of Casheroth.
p.s. I'm aware I threw in some generalizations that may be interpreted weirdly but hopefully some can guess what I really meant xD if anyone bothers to read this, which is doubtful and maybe it's for the best, if I'm not making sense at all. Imma finally go to bed now /yawn
Even though Blizzard games are not what they used to be I have to give them this: They ALWAYS knew how to make ingame cinematics!
Thank you so much for making this masterpiece ma, i truly aprreciate the hard work! thanks to you i understand the lore better now. Keep it up!
Always god to hear. Warcraft has a very rich lore. And I’d say Warcraft 3 towards Wrath is the best and more faithful, along with the gem of an expansion that was Legion. I guess that was truly Warcraft 4. Early BFA was also memorable. A dream to one day see Warcraft hit the big screen as a true trilogy! Arthas and Legion story deserve it.
I really miss Azeroth sometimes. I hate what Blizzard became and what they did to their wonderful creation.
For me it became broken through heirlooms, LFG, and endless expansions that are pretty much no longer relevant.
Even Wrath Classic is slipping into this rabbit hole and becoming a mini Retail.
Oh, and cross server play.
In VANILLA, you knew the people on your server. They were your friends and family. We learned and grew together.
That, imo, is lost to the past as so many focus only on End Game, BiS, and themselves. Not the community as a whole.
We never paid any heed to the ancient prophecies…
38:30 Much different voice, but I like it. They hired the same guy who voiced Olberic from Octopath Traveler, a deep fearsome tone to all his characters.
Wow even the first 2 games.
Really just the main points. "Two factions battle for dominance, welcome to the world of warcraft, a new threat emerges, factions band together against the might of the enemy, then back to throwing pillows at each other," Ah Warcraft!
@@Athelarius Oh God if Jaina heard that Theramore counts as "throwing pillows"
Thank you for this. I watched all of it.
Loved this, thanks.
