waitttttttttttt apparently this isnt all of them?! i was LIED TO EDIT: Since this has been picked by the algorithm, can you all please list the ones I missed watching?? I just went off what that video said, it was literally titled "all wow cinematics" lol
@VoxyTwitch Yeah if you want to see all of them, like including all the in-game ones and also all the side cinematics there is literals hours or even tens of hours more worth of cinematics that were not included in the video you watched.
Also the fact that they included the cinematic for the War Within but not the ending of Legion to show how that sword got there in the first place, I feel like they missed out on a bunch of relevant story things for no apparent reason. And yeah I agree, not including Old Soldier is criminal
People can mistakenly dismiss Mists of Pandaria as ripping off Kung Fu Panda all the like, but this character, Chen Stormstout was in Warcraft 3 in 2003 way before that movie
I mean, he was a joke character, but that doesn't mean he didn't exist. He even had his own questline in vanilla wow, even if he didn't exist in the game! You could find "Chen's Empty Keg" in the Barrens, and had to kill a bunch of mobs for it. Also, even if you didn't like the story of MoP, everyone that has played it has to concede the point that the raids were amazing, and the classes had peak design.
@@reedschadegg9023 Tbf it's only good in comparison to the messes that came after. Vanilla, TBC, and WotLK were incredible stories. Cataclysm was good too in retrospect. WoD, BfA, and Shadowlands really pale in comparison to MoP, even though it was definitely the worst of the pre-WoD expansions (some could argue Cata, althought I think it as a story was better than MoP), but it was still good.
It's wild that a single guy basically tore apart 3 whole expansions for the sole purpose of ruining Sylvanas. I am so curious what the original plot thread was going to be before that guy took over.
@DiabloTommaso and what exactly can anyone do about it? We can't very well pull it out. Mining through it will take decades. We stopped the corruption coming out of it and we stopped the bleeding already. What else are we gonna do? Grow the size of a titan and pull it out?
I remember flying around and seeing that sword for the first time years and years after it happened. I had no idea and when I saw it I just HAD to know. That thing is legitimately immense
I wonder how the author of the video made his selection of the cinematics, because obviously a crazy amount of the (mostly in-game) cinematics are missing, but also its not like he wanted to not include the ingame ones since some of them are included like the end of Pandaria (siege of Orgrimmar raid end cinematic). But then some of the actual cinematics are also not included, like the video shows "Warbringers: Sylvanas" (the one with the different animation where sylvanas is bansheed by Arthas and then burns the big tree down), but not "Warbringers: Jaina" or "Warbringers: Ashara". Like I understand the video cannot show everything, because it would be a 6 hour video (maybe even more lol), but also a lot of important scenes with context are missing. Like for example in the last "the War Within" cinematic there is the huge sword, but the entierity of Argus cinematics from Legion is not in the video so Voxy has never seen anything about that sword. How it got there, what it is and so on. It probably doesnt matter much since she would not get the context probably anyway (especially since she doesnt even recognise the main characters as most of them being the main Hearthstone heroes until they keep showing up in every cinematic and chat mentions it), but it further makes the video selection from the original author weird. And obviously this way some of the favourite cinematics of people watching are skipped. Nevertheless the main intro cinematics of all the expansion are included so I guess this video achieved the goal mostly.
Some of them made sense (the end of the SoO raid is the only visual we have that leads into the WoD trailer), while skipping the Warbringers trailers aside from Sylvanas doesn't add anything to the other cinematics, but yes, skipping the Sargeras sword plunge makes the War Within very awkward, but I guess since it didn't go directly into BFA (which is more on Blizzard than anything), it would feel random until you got to the end of the cinematic.
If you want to check out a channel that's been doing reactions to ALL of the cinematics (including the in-game quest related ones) in chronological order (about half way done with Shadowlands atm), go look at Phil Hartshorn's page. It's not just a "ooh that's cool" type of reactions, but from the PoV of someone who studies film and cinematography.
@@BakedHotdog If you're looking for feedback and insight from someone who says they understand the industry, that's fine. Just don't be so naive as to believe those reactions are even the least bit genuine.
Agreed. This is such a weird compilation. It includes Garrosh's end, but not Arthas's. It has ingame cinematics, but not all of the proper ones. And it includes a random assortment of the artsy ones.
All y'all with childhood memories of this. WOW was released 3 weeks after I turned 31 in 2004...lol. I just turned 50 and I'm still playing. I'll never forget those first few magical days of exploring and getting killed a bunch of times by Princess over at the Brackwell Pumpkin Patch.
My most memorable early death was being in a 'tour group' doing the Serpentshrine Cavern raid. Got onto the elevator pad, not realizing the elevator was still above me. Wait, wait.... Sometime since then, elevator floors have been made one-way matter transparent, so you can pass through from underneath. I've still occasionally died to an elevator. Ever *just* miss a down-elevator and jump? As it turns out, almost always a bad move, as it goes down *faster* than you fall. Until it doesn't. There really should be an achievement for being killed by an elevator.
My parents were playing while I was in elementary school. I got to watch them prep fro raids sometimes before I had to go to bed. They raided AQ on release (never beat it as far as i'm aware). They kepty playing till late WotLK. Then my brother took over and started raiding after they stopped. He also raided in early Cata as well before he let the account die. I picked back up in WoD and played through most of Legion, but fell out before the Broken Shore. Its been a fun ride regardless.
@@Wollfanges Long live character assassinations of beloved female leads? I don't miss Blizzard's complete incapability to not do some "my bitch wife, amirite?" bullshit. Honestly pleasantly surprised Alexstraza wasn't retconned into being a directionless pawn with angst issues this expansion after what they did to Jaina and Sylvanas in the past, fingers crossed for a better tomorrow I suppose...
@@Flamewarden_Honoushugoshin You just want marie sue's, imperfect characters are superior. Jaina is completely fine. Sylvanas was asassinated not by blizzard but by serial sexual predators that no longer work there.
@@NanoLT Huh? What part of thinking Jaina completely abandoning the oath she killed her own father (or at least played a part in his death) over as soon as there was a shift in the Horde's leadership was a stupid writing choice means I "want Marie Sues"? Her power wasn't what people loved about her, it was her dedication to her ideals, even in the face of her love, Arthas, or her father. Writing that out of her character was...pretty abhorrent. It's one of the many reasons I stand firmly by the belief that from the beginning of the Garrosh arc to the end of Shadowlands they completely failed the series for not having any respect for any of the established characters they were writing for (I guess Anduin and Saurfang had a kinda decent arc? A lot of the rest just kinda acted irrationally or got Ned Stark'd without any kind of payoff or underlying critique, Show style instead of Book style). And yeah, It probably was the shitty sex pests fault, in both cases. Glad they are gone. It's fine to have flawed characters, but it feels real fucking weird to have a character completely give up on a struggle they had been fighting over their entire life the moment a traumatic even happens when their whole life has been that struggle...I dunno I just never bought the whole "Jaina is mean now and hates orcs" shit. Like why wasn't she right there trying to reinstate Saurfang and Thrall, or make clandestine meetings with dissidents within the Horde? "Kill them all" just literally makes no sense for her character, who has seen death before in this conflict, unless I'm missing another cop-out bullshit like some demon was controlling her or something. Like I'm sorry but even a big arcane bomb isn't really justification enough for one of the most intelligent and rational characters the history of Warcraft becoming essentially a "women dumb and emotional" joke by some jackass in the writing room. I dunno, maybe I'm outa line, but I feel like she suffered at least as Sylvanas from the terrible conditions at Blizzard at the time...
55:18 I love that side-eye the forsaken banner carrier gives her. Shame the story just... well you know. The cinematic team never failed to deliver though.
I'd honestly suggest watching all the in game cutscenes from mists of Pandaria on wards pretty much if you want to see the actual story for these trailers to make sense. It's pretty weird that they included the occasional scene but not others. Plus yknow, farm that reaction content for free views!
im honestly a bit surprised it took so long for anduin to start having serious existential dread and PTSD. The kid has been through allot since he was introduced.
Well he was always positive, the complete opposite of his fhater. And yet he broke when he was a murder machine. He is hard on himself for what he has done. He doesn t care he was mind controlled. And yet i think the best evolution his characther had was when he decided to be a bit like if father (and his father like him). I find him really really really really too naive before that
@@DiabloTommaso he was too naive, but he was also a child. and theres a charm to childlike naivety. Seeing the world for what you wish it was instead of what you know it is. The fact he is more haunted now just means he is growing up. im jsut hoping they dont do what i think they are gonna do with him and make him a PTSD burn out that needs to be replaced. but we will see.
@@DiabloTommaso did he actually kill anybody being a Jailor's puppet? He stabbed an Archon but she lives. Maybe killed a dozen of players but we can resurrect ourselves so that's doesn't count. For me he's just being a drama queen. Blizzard want us to sympathize with him but I cant see why
@@ltwatlas6948 you don t get Anduin s characther and that s fine. He didn t want to be king. When he accepted that role he wanted to protect everyone. Sarufang died, his father died, he lead and army to war and the casualty were immense. Eaven in the cinematic is underlined how all the soldiers were moved to the front. He was alredy mentaly proven and than he became a tool.
@@ltwatlas6948 Anduin was tortured physically and mentally (probably spiritually too) until his will submitted to the Jailer, after which he was puppeted and forced to fight his former friends and allies. If that is not reason for PTSD, then what the fuck is? Do you also think soldiers returning from the battlefield with PTSD are drama queens, if they haven't killed anyone?
yeah, i didn't like it either. But I like the direction they took with the forsaken. Squashed their beef with the Worgens, formed the Desolate Council to Govern themselves. It was pretty great. Basically showed they didn't need no "banshee queen".
@@dimvots6729 It did not do that, it showed the perspective of the Kul'tiran nation and Jaina's own struggles with the Horde's constant betrayals and thinking that her father may have been right
@@BurakkuHishou it was a pathetic attempt to buy sympathy from the fans, but she is by far the biggest piece of sh**T from the three stooges that had a warbringer episode... First she betrayed her father, the man who she owes being alive to, for a bunch of orcs, then later on she betrays those orcs because they did exactly what her father told her they would do... She makes the other two look like petty war criminals
@@BurakkuHishou Jaina was already the ultimate Mary Sue in the game because whenever she did anything dodgy, it just got handwaved by the characters. That cutscene was the ultimate pampering of an already overly pampered character.
On one hand having that first flightpath was *amazing* when you just realized the scale of the world. On the other, the first time you took a flightpath as a solo player going from the northernmost flightpath of a continent to the most southern one because you didn't have the knowledge to just buy a portal from another player was _brutal_ .
@@hadoken95 That at least involved some input instead of watching a timer countdown until you go afk on the flight path. I did that run a couple of times, but it didn't feel even as close to as brutal as seeing a 15+ minute wait on a flight path.
The flight path thing, yeah, that hit pretty hard back in the day. You'd go out into the second zone after the first one, finish some quests and then have one that sent you back to your capital city, to learn some new spells or whatever. So you'd fly back and then open up the map and go "holy crap that's one zone.... and there's a whole other 10 or so of those on this continent and then a whole other continent as well!?" Or how big of a deal it felt actually getting to 1 gold back in those early days when money was relatively tight and knowing there were things that'd cost a 1000 of those. For me there was also exploring areas we'd been through in the strategy games, interacting with characters we'd controlled and such. It's funny to think about how long the time period between Frozen Throne and WoW releasing was. It wasn't that long really but when it finally came out it felt like I'd been waiting to play WoW for a decade or something, even 6 months feels like an age when you're young and now it's been 2 decades basically and some amount of that has gone by in a flash.
Bro the time thing is totally true the time flys by now that I don't play anymore but we used too play lol everyday waiting on expansion years took forever it seemed
That flight path from Stormwind to pretty much any Alliance fp to the south, pre-Cata, swooped low over a totally isolated Troll village where some sort of party was apparently going on. Colored lanterns hung on ropes, dancers, drums. I obsessed, spent hours trying to get there on foot, finally gave up and Googled. There actually was a path, but it started well to the South, in Winterspring. Finally managed to get there after a few deaths -- was using a druid, and the combination of the two slow-fall capes that were available plus Noggenfogger didn't last long enough unless *really* careful.
@@different_stuff Wrath was when the game had the highest peaking number of players ever, and is still highly regarded as one of the best if not the best expansion ever made by wow players, better? jeez..
@@RamseZ76 wrath was the "end" of wow. the all things what people hated. were intreoduced in wotlk. Plus blizzard was under Activision when was wotlk so.... Wrath trailer is awesome but WoD,TWW are so much better
It's quite good, I especially like the voiceover contrasting with how things turned out. The last 4-5 seconds always looked odd to me though. The whole thing looks detailed and 'real' then Arthus' nose/mouth look like rubber.
1. Her thirsting over Illidan is lowkey comedy gold 2. Arthas is to this day Blizzard's golden goose and they KNOW IT. He is literally the best villain they've ever created and the fact that his expansion is widely considered the peak of WoW's popularity is like a shadow they still haven't been able to get out from. Helps that the cinematic is as good now as it was back then. 3. Anduin turning into MANDUIN over the years is honestly an awesome character arc. 4. Your confusion with Shadowlands echoes how the community felt. Them doing nothing with Bolvar as the Lich King after years of buildup, Sylvannas getting redeemed (or at least getting a second chance) but Arthas being condemned for bis crimes despite their very similar circumstances and the Jailer being bootleg Thanos with a plan we STILL don't understand to this day is what makes Shadowlands the worst expansion storywise in my opinion.
Arthas DOESN T NEED REDEPTION. Really guys. He was always an ego maniac and had always people to stop him and make him reason. He doomed himself and almost the entire planet. That said shadowlands could have been really good if they didn t rush it. Storywhise like they made it it s just forgettable that s eaven worse than bad imo. Bolvar was wasted? Not so sure. He has not enough story behind him to be something interesting. A stand alone expansion wuold have made him cheap arthas 2.0. Could he have been an ally? Maybe. I don t like this idea as well.
Honestly so much stuff since like Cata when they ran out of all the loose story threads left from Warcraft III has been just an absolute mess. Like I'm sure there are some competent writers on the team because every now and then we get a genuinely good character arc or plot that makes enough sense to be passable, but there are literally dozens of character assassinations and "but why though?" story threads for every one of those. I'm not saying there can't be twists or hidden motives that only get revealed years later, but I swear the lead writers for the last several years were just like "cheap plot twists mean the story is interesting, right?". I'm still not fully convinced they have any fucking clue what they want the horde to be and just keep retreading the LITERAL plot point of the Orc campaign in WCIII:Reign of Chaos (Except now the warmonger sub-faction ISN'T poisoned by a literal giant demon...just fucking a long chain of fucking dumbasses that have no real plans for their own people beyond "war I guess" or like you said, w/e the fuck all the Jailer shit was about. Like, I almost wish the main story would stop jerking off the Titans' dicks for 2 seconds to write a coherent plot that doesn't retcon half the entire Warcraft story...maybe Azeroth being born will actually change something, like how FFIVX reinvented itself after 1.X got scrapped with A Realm Reborn)
@@DiabloTommaso 1. Arthas wasn't an ego maniac. He was reckless as hell, but his heart was in the right place until his need for vengeance got the better of him. But once he picked up Frostmourne he can't be held fully accountable for his actions as his soul was literally consumed by it. 2. I'm just saying its hypocritical af that we are supposed to have a level of sympathy for Sylvannas who has done stuff that's just as bad if not worse than Arthas, keep in mind she was the one who started this new war with the Alliance with the sole purpose of sending as many souls as possible to basically giga hell. 3. I feel like Bolvar should have *at least* been more active. The guy was literally asleep up until Legion, where he actually started to feel somewhat relevant again. Then he shows up briefly in BFA and then he stops being the Lich King before Shadowlands even starts properly. Why even bother making Bolvar the Lich King then if he's just gomna be a plot device
@@LuckySmurf she kind of is? Yeah they didn't magically forgive her, but its clear we're supposed to have sympathy for her, at least on some level. They also kind of dissociated her from the blame by making her soul split into 2 halves like Uther's did.
100% the battle for Azeroth cinematic was the best! Both sides giving chills in the same cinematic Is just so dope! That Banshee scream though! I still wish they had a toy that had that scream and her banshee form, so damn good!
Every time I see the cinematic of Mists of Pandaria I nearly start crying. It was the first addon I played with my friends, where we really could play together and I will never forget it for that
Warbringers: Jaina is also missing and opening cinematic to Lordaeron before they enter throne room. Even though Warbringers: Jaina was more of a music video it still provides context to the story that follows.
When she talks about taking a flight path for the first time and seeing the scope of the world and that she's been chasing that feeling ever since, that got me. I know why I've gone back to WoW so many times and now I know why my mouse is hovering over the re-install button now. I've played ESO, Guild Wars 2, Final Fantasy Online, all good in there own ways. But, WoW hit different.
Saying BFA was bad and on paar with WoD and SL is a crime. It was disappointing after Legion at max. But it was not bad at all overall. I only did not enjoy the last season of it
1:02:40 The best way to read Sylvanas's character at this point is that she's _completely_ lost her marbles after Saurfang made her freak out. She's crazy, and backed by a monstrous power. 1:12:30 Dragonflight is a _very_ optimistic WoW expansion.
Anybody calling Anduin "A baby" or similar in the last cinematic simply didnt watched what happend to him over the years. He is like 25 and lost both parents, had to take care of a whole kingdom as a child, got his father back, lost him AGAIN for real, had to fight multiple wars and then was mindcontrolled into doing heineous things to the point he didnt even know which thoughts were his own and which were the forced ones. And part of him LIKED IT. That was the last drop which pushed him into extreme PTSD because he was afraid of himself, that he might revel in chaos and destruction after spending YEARS trying to combat the conflict with dimplomacy and peace.
Btw why it missed cinematic about WHY Sylvanas burned Teldrassil, that Genn when was peace attacked Sylvanas and destroyed future for the Forsaken. And Fun fact Saurfang was the one who made plan about Attack on Teldrassil which than tried to sabotage. (and beacuse of his mistakes aka can't end life of Malfurion, all went for plan B - If you can't kill leader, kill his people)
I just love that you had a big smile on yo face for the whole lich king cinematic. (I do the same thing because it's probably my favourite expac, although "YOU ARE NOT PREPARED!!!" is pretty good too) We were eatin good in wrath and BC huh... Oh no!! they left out old soldier :(
"many will not understand.." RIP voljin.. i.. still dont understand.. but i do not forgive bliz.. losing him, in that way, was the end of wow's future for me.. He was themost underrated, smartest underdog, and wise beyond his long ears..
These still give me shivers. I was in high school when this came out and burning crusade. It was incredible. We went from this, to this skeleton of blizzard we have now. I used to love their games. How the mighty have fallen.
Slightly odd question considering the channel but has she done all the MTG ones? There's been some good ones over the years IMO (I particularly like the Eldritch Moon one, the Theros underworld one (specifically the one with Erebos narrating) and everyone loves the War of the Spark one).
God, the Draenor cinematic is something else. Garrosh going back in time to play Connetticut Yankee and give the Horde modern tech, while warning his father about the Orcs's Original Sin. Demon expects neolithic tribe. Gets artillery to the face. >:)
Your excitement over the Sylvanas vs Anduin epic battle was priceless! yeah, I remember feeling the same way when that expansion came out. Best graphics. My spouse said if they only made the WOW movies with the same cinematics as that one, they would be awesome to watch.
Thr worst part about the whole Garrosh story is that, he is put on trial and found to be cleared of wringdoing by the Aincent spirits of Pandaria itself, and he laughs and says he'd do it all again anyway. But Thrall cheating in the Mak'Gora was utter bullshit and Garrosh calling him out was completely valid. He did what he could woth ehat he had. Did he go to far at times? Absolutely. Is it what he was taught to do? A B S O L U T E L Y. Sure, he eventually steered away from the "honor" route but victory at any cost is still lretty in line with the Orcish way, even if you do have to nuke a city and give yourself over to the heart of an old god, and create a branching timeline in the progress 👀
That sword was aimed at the heart of azeroth by the Titan Sargeras (the same titan whos blood is the source of fel magic, the same magic that turned the orcs green when they drank mannoroths blood in the warlords cinimatic) The reason they didn't drink it in the cinematic is because garrosh (son of grommash the guy who said "we will never be slaves" and the guy thrall killed with lightning traveled back in time and warned his father about the consequences of drinking that blood) The war within is part of a world soul saga (they have announced the next 3 expansions of Warcraft at once this is the first one in the world soul saga) it will be about fighting for the heart of the world so to speak.
I'm pretty sure I read something that said the World Soul is essentially the egg of another Titan. If so, before it hatches, maybe we all have to evacuate to another planet?
ahhh seing how you got emotional at saurfang's death, you wouldve definitely cried if you watched the Old Soldier cinematic beforehand. That video compilation was kinda shitty it skips some important stuff.
7:43 This frame, when Arthas wakes up, is the most iconic image blizzard ever did. Nothing ever came even close to this. In future expansions they did great phrases like "we will never be slaves", but the art was never better than The Lich King's cold gaze.
I'm so mad that they skipped one of the most important cinematic. Right after the Sylvanas Warbringers, they should show Old Soldier, and then the Battle for Azeroth opening cinematic.
i grew up playing warcraft 3, i was 15 watching that TBC cinematic at my friends house, we where hardstuck on the second boss of BWL on goddamn dial up, seeing these cinematics was something else, especially the arthas one, shoulda mixed in the warcraft 3 ones too
I have seen this trailer soooo many times, and every single time when the singing comes in, it gets me right in the feels every time. So much nostalgia for me in this trailer. Not that of times way back when, cuz i was in my early 20's :D, but time spent with friends.
Dude, this was my high-school experience all over again. And that first time hippogriff flight path feeling of realizing just how big this game actually is was spot on. I miss those days lol
It's amazing how few comment on the fact that Illidan's color is off in this cinematic. He's like brownish yellow, when his original color is more along the lines of blueish-white with a slight purple sheen here and there. Moving more towards purple after absorbing the skull.
Watching these again gave me the chills and that's as someone who's basically been playing since the beginning as a kid. Wrath is definitely my favorite and where I got my official start and became a DK for life.
I've posted a link to that cinematic, with time set to that one, final declaration, as a reply to political discussions from time to time. Indeed, in the end, only WE... can save ourselves. Of course, that parting bit of wisdom that female Tortollan is pretty good: "Knowledge is power. Except stupid knowledge. Avoid that if you can."
Started at the very end of Vanilla. I remember waiting in line at midnight for the launch of Wrath of the Lich King. So many memories. Here's to the people I met and the friends I made. Still chat to some of them 20 years later.
The thing you mentioned about the flight path… I first played when I was 8. I remember how epic it felt when I left northshire lol. My brother started exploring when I went to eat and I came back panicked about not being able to find my way back to goldshire
When mists of Pandaria came out, alot of people felt it was so misplaced and far from the timeline, but time has proven the developers to be wise, because every expasnion since has been one long saga, where every expasion is like a chapter in a book. Pandaria was the last sigh of relief and comic break we actually got in the game. It's like they had the whole thing planned out the whole time. We even had to go back to Pandaria for the Blue Dragonflight campaign. It's pretty cool
Had the exact same feeling on my first flightpath too at roughly the same age, it was the teldrassil to auberdine path and it amazed me. Teldrassil was awesome but it felt like such an enclosed space like other games I'd played before, and suddenly I was over an ocean heading towards an entire world. Amazing feeling.
I share that feeling. The first time I took a flight path. After playing for several weeks. Only a couple of hours per day but still. A long time. And all of a sudden. Elevated. seeing all of the land I quested through from above. And the feeling of grandeur and epic scale that was left to experience. Nostalgia. One of a kind game experience achieved. I hear you. I agree.
technically it was addressed at the end of Legion when the artifact weapons we'd spent the whole expansion powering up were used to turn it off, and then in BfA when we went around the world collecting the blood of the planet to put back in. At this point it's just landscape.
the ''Dead Guy'' is Nathanos he was a human in love with Sylvanas. He died and Sylvanas resurected him inside the body of his dead nephew... and hes the assholest of em all
I like that you actually WATCH the cinematics and pay attention. A lot of streamers are to obsessed with looking at chat every 10 seconds to even watch everything aha
i played the beta of world of warcraft cuz my brothers friend had a key, my account (that i still have) is from the second day of launsch in EU (the servers was full/crashed) when i tryed to get online, so i tryed the next morning.
50:32 that little smile on the faces of Saurfang and Voxy is amazing. Plus i am a little disappointed that they didnt show enough cinimatics of Legion. Atleast they should have shown the "Fall of Varian" and when Anduin visits his father's grave and get his swords.
Voxy, I was waiting for your reaction to Battle for Azeroth! I was so excited to see you have the same same reaction i did to it. I love d it so much, I told my kids to play cut scene that at my Funeral.
waitttttttttttt apparently this isnt all of them?! i was LIED TO
EDIT: Since this has been picked by the algorithm, can you all please list the ones I missed watching?? I just went off what that video said, it was literally titled "all wow cinematics" lol
You missed the first cinematic from the Saurfang "We dont get to hide" guy
There are a LOT of In-game and actual cinematics missing from this 😓
Just with the Broken Shore and Old Soldier you would have a lot more context for the later cinematics ( they’re very good as well)..
@VoxyTwitch Yeah if you want to see all of them, like including all the in-game ones and also all the side cinematics there is literals hours or even tens of hours more worth of cinematics that were not included in the video you watched.

The fact that this compilation didn't have Old Soldier is a bigger crime than what Garrosh did to Pandaria
Garosh did nothing wrong

@@Vaishino you have a fair point
nothing can dethrone Theramore as the bigest warcrime
People can mistakenly dismiss Mists of Pandaria as ripping off Kung Fu Panda all the like, but this character, Chen Stormstout was in Warcraft 3 in 2003 way before that movie
The people making this mistake are the same idiots who want to bash a billion-dollar game they don't even play. Makes perfect sense.
I mean, he was a joke character, but that doesn't mean he didn't exist. He even had his own questline in vanilla wow, even if he didn't exist in the game! You could find "Chen's Empty Keg" in the Barrens, and had to kill a bunch of mobs for it.
Also, even if you didn't like the story of MoP, everyone that has played it has to concede the point that the raids were amazing, and the classes had peak design.
I didn't love the theme or pandas that much, but the best pvp and most fun classes, and the art was super vivid and gorgeous
@@FireSigndand the story was good.
Made more sense than many of the other expansions

What a dumb thing to say. He lived because he was a great warrior, not due to cowardice or staying behind.
@@cyrusthegreat3299 yeah thats exactly what he said
@@cyrusthegreat3299 that's literally the entire meaning behind the saying. If you live to an old age as a warrior, you're a damn good warrior.
@@hinney827 No, it's not.
You can hide in a hole and live for a long time. It's not directly correlated to that meaning.

It's wild that a single guy basically tore apart 3 whole expansions for the sole purpose of ruining Sylvanas. I am so curious what the original plot thread was going to be before that guy took over.
the spirits bamboozled Vol'jin after now we know what happend these days, but it was still really cringy and this time to happend!
I love that we keep having to be reminded there's a HUGE ASS SWORD stabbed into the planet.
Don t worry nothing will happened about it...
@DiabloTommaso and what exactly can anyone do about it? We can't very well pull it out. Mining through it will take decades. We stopped the corruption coming out of it and we stopped the bleeding already. What else are we gonna do? Grow the size of a titan and pull it out?
WHAT SWORD ?
I remember flying around and seeing that sword for the first time years and years after it happened. I had no idea and when I saw it I just HAD to know. That thing is legitimately immense
Fun, awesome fact... WotLK released the same month and year as Call of Duty: World at War!

I wonder how the author of the video made his selection of the cinematics, because obviously a crazy amount of the (mostly in-game) cinematics are missing, but also its not like he wanted to not include the ingame ones since some of them are included like the end of Pandaria (siege of Orgrimmar raid end cinematic). But then some of the actual cinematics are also not included, like the video shows "Warbringers: Sylvanas" (the one with the different animation where sylvanas is bansheed by Arthas and then burns the big tree down), but not "Warbringers: Jaina" or "Warbringers: Ashara".
Like I understand the video cannot show everything, because it would be a 6 hour video (maybe even more lol), but also a lot of important scenes with context are missing. Like for example in the last "the War Within" cinematic there is the huge sword, but the entierity of Argus cinematics from Legion is not in the video so Voxy has never seen anything about that sword. How it got there, what it is and so on. It probably doesnt matter much since she would not get the context probably anyway (especially since she doesnt even recognise the main characters as most of them being the main Hearthstone heroes until they keep showing up in every cinematic and chat mentions it), but it further makes the video selection from the original author weird.
And obviously this way some of the favourite cinematics of people watching are skipped. Nevertheless the main intro cinematics of all the expansion are included so I guess this video achieved the goal mostly.
Some of them made sense (the end of the SoO raid is the only visual we have that leads into the WoD trailer), while skipping the Warbringers trailers aside from Sylvanas doesn't add anything to the other cinematics, but yes, skipping the Sargeras sword plunge makes the War Within very awkward, but I guess since it didn't go directly into BFA (which is more on Blizzard than anything), it would feel random until you got to the end of the cinematic.
If you want to check out a channel that's been doing reactions to ALL of the cinematics (including the in-game quest related ones) in chronological order (about half way done with Shadowlands atm), go look at Phil Hartshorn's page. It's not just a "ooh that's cool" type of reactions, but from the PoV of someone who studies film and cinematography.
«Old Soldier» is always missing. I mean… WTF?
@@BakedHotdog If you're looking for feedback and insight from someone who says they understand the industry, that's fine. Just don't be so naive as to believe those reactions are even the least bit genuine.
Agreed. This is such a weird compilation. It includes Garrosh's end, but not Arthas's. It has ingame cinematics, but not all of the proper ones. And it includes a random assortment of the artsy ones.
All y'all with childhood memories of this. WOW was released 3 weeks after I turned 31 in 2004...lol. I just turned 50 and I'm still playing. I'll never forget those first few magical days of exploring and getting killed a bunch of times by Princess over at the Brackwell Pumpkin Patch.
I fell off the mountains in the Valley of Trials into the sea and was eaten by a shark. My first WoW death, still remember.
@@Michael-kd1ho My first death was when a group of warlocks summoned an Infernal and watched as it tore through Goldshire
My most memorable early death was being in a 'tour group' doing the Serpentshrine Cavern raid. Got onto the elevator pad, not realizing the elevator was still above me. Wait, wait.... Sometime since then, elevator floors have been made one-way matter transparent, so you can pass through from underneath.
I've still occasionally died to an elevator. Ever *just* miss a down-elevator and jump? As it turns out, almost always a bad move, as it goes down *faster* than you fall. Until it doesn't.
There really should be an achievement for being killed by an elevator.
My parents were playing while I was in elementary school. I got to watch them prep fro raids sometimes before I had to go to bed. They raided AQ on release (never beat it as far as i'm aware). They kepty playing till late WotLK. Then my brother took over and started raiding after they stopped. He also raided in early Cata as well before he let the account die. I picked back up in WoD and played through most of Legion, but fell out before the Broken Shore. Its been a fun ride regardless.
When everything higher had crushing blow and by the time u got ur first blue it was 15 lvls lower than u and could kite world bosses to cities
Man they missed some really important cinematics in this
Definitely missing The Old Soldier
@@el_diabolical1 death to saurfang ! hail Sylvanas the true queen
@@Wollfanges Long live character assassinations of beloved female leads? I don't miss Blizzard's complete incapability to not do some "my bitch wife, amirite?" bullshit. Honestly pleasantly surprised Alexstraza wasn't retconned into being a directionless pawn with angst issues this expansion after what they did to Jaina and Sylvanas in the past, fingers crossed for a better tomorrow I suppose...
@@Flamewarden_Honoushugoshin You just want marie sue's, imperfect characters are superior. Jaina is completely fine. Sylvanas was asassinated not by blizzard but by serial sexual predators that no longer work there.
@@NanoLT Huh? What part of thinking Jaina completely abandoning the oath she killed her own father (or at least played a part in his death) over as soon as there was a shift in the Horde's leadership was a stupid writing choice means I "want Marie Sues"? Her power wasn't what people loved about her, it was her dedication to her ideals, even in the face of her love, Arthas, or her father. Writing that out of her character was...pretty abhorrent. It's one of the many reasons I stand firmly by the belief that from the beginning of the Garrosh arc to the end of Shadowlands they completely failed the series for not having any respect for any of the established characters they were writing for (I guess Anduin and Saurfang had a kinda decent arc? A lot of the rest just kinda acted irrationally or got Ned Stark'd without any kind of payoff or underlying critique, Show style instead of Book style). And yeah, It probably was the shitty sex pests fault, in both cases. Glad they are gone.
It's fine to have flawed characters, but it feels real fucking weird to have a character completely give up on a struggle they had been fighting over their entire life the moment a traumatic even happens when their whole life has been that struggle...I dunno I just never bought the whole "Jaina is mean now and hates orcs" shit. Like why wasn't she right there trying to reinstate Saurfang and Thrall, or make clandestine meetings with dissidents within the Horde? "Kill them all" just literally makes no sense for her character, who has seen death before in this conflict, unless I'm missing another cop-out bullshit like some demon was controlling her or something. Like I'm sorry but even a big arcane bomb isn't really justification enough for one of the most intelligent and rational characters the history of Warcraft becoming essentially a "women dumb and emotional" joke by some jackass in the writing room. I dunno, maybe I'm outa line, but I feel like she suffered at least as Sylvanas from the terrible conditions at Blizzard at the time...
55:18 I love that side-eye the forsaken banner carrier gives her. Shame the story just... well you know. The cinematic team never failed to deliver though.
I'd honestly suggest watching all the in game cutscenes from mists of Pandaria on wards pretty much if you want to see the actual story for these trailers to make sense. It's pretty weird that they included the occasional scene but not others. Plus yknow, farm that reaction content for free views!
im honestly a bit surprised it took so long for anduin to start having serious existential dread and PTSD. The kid has been through allot since he was introduced.
Well he was always positive, the complete opposite of his fhater. And yet he broke when he was a murder machine. He is hard on himself for what he has done. He doesn t care he was mind controlled. And yet i think the best evolution his characther had was when he decided to be a bit like if father (and his father like him). I find him really really really really too naive before that
@@DiabloTommaso he was too naive, but he was also a child. and theres a charm to childlike naivety. Seeing the world for what you wish it was instead of what you know it is. The fact he is more haunted now just means he is growing up.
im jsut hoping they dont do what i think they are gonna do with him and make him a PTSD burn out that needs to be replaced. but we will see.
@@DiabloTommaso did he actually kill anybody being a Jailor's puppet? He stabbed an Archon but she lives. Maybe killed a dozen of players but we can resurrect ourselves so that's doesn't count. For me he's just being a drama queen. Blizzard want us to sympathize with him but I cant see why
@@ltwatlas6948 you don t get Anduin s characther and that s fine. He didn t want to be king. When he accepted that role he wanted to protect everyone. Sarufang died, his father died, he lead and army to war and the casualty were immense. Eaven in the cinematic is underlined how all the soldiers were moved to the front. He was alredy mentaly proven and than he became a tool.
@@ltwatlas6948 Anduin was tortured physically and mentally (probably spiritually too) until his will submitted to the Jailer, after which he was puppeted and forced to fight his former friends and allies. If that is not reason for PTSD, then what the fuck is? Do you also think soldiers returning from the battlefield with PTSD are drama queens, if they haven't killed anyone?
To this day I'm not happy with the direction they took Sylvanas, but god damn, that "FOR THE HORDE!" still gives me chills.
A shame they took her down that well. And made that sick shout, feel oh so hollow now with context...
lets hope chronicles 4 fixed that error
yeah, i didn't like it either. But I like the direction they took with the forsaken. Squashed their beef with the Worgens, formed the Desolate Council to Govern themselves. It was pretty great. Basically showed they didn't need no "banshee queen".
I'll always be a Sylvanas simp
I'm fine with what they did to her just not her motives.
Can't believe they didn't include the Jaina Warbringers, like, it DEFINED the BfA cinematics for tons of people
A true crime!!!!
@@itsyaboihermanand retcond jaina story .... Not my fault mommy its the orcs fault, daady was good not a warmongering maniac......
@@dimvots6729 It did not do that, it showed the perspective of the Kul'tiran nation and Jaina's own struggles with the Horde's constant betrayals and thinking that her father may have been right
@@BurakkuHishou it was a pathetic attempt to buy sympathy from the fans, but she is by far the biggest piece of sh**T from the three stooges that had a warbringer episode... First she betrayed her father, the man who she owes being alive to, for a bunch of orcs, then later on she betrays those orcs because they did exactly what her father told her they would do... She makes the other two look like petty war criminals
@@BurakkuHishou Jaina was already the ultimate Mary Sue in the game because whenever she did anything dodgy, it just got handwaved by the characters. That cutscene was the ultimate pampering of an already overly pampered character.
My favourite part is how Voxy is somehow baffled constantly that all these characters also exist in Hearthstone
On one hand having that first flightpath was *amazing* when you just realized the scale of the world. On the other, the first time you took a flightpath as a solo player going from the northernmost flightpath of a continent to the most southern one because you didn't have the knowledge to just buy a portal from another player was _brutal_ .
lol no what was brutal was starting a night elf and trying to get to Stormwind as soon as you could by foot.
@@hadoken95 That at least involved some input instead of watching a timer countdown until you go afk on the flight path. I did that run a couple of times, but it didn't feel even as close to as brutal as seeing a 15+ minute wait on a flight path.
@@hadoken95 im playing turtle wow now and they added a boat from auberdine to SW. THANK GOD because i didnt want to run all that
The flight path thing, yeah, that hit pretty hard back in the day. You'd go out into the second zone after the first one, finish some quests and then have one that sent you back to your capital city, to learn some new spells or whatever. So you'd fly back and then open up the map and go "holy crap that's one zone.... and there's a whole other 10 or so of those on this continent and then a whole other continent as well!?"
Or how big of a deal it felt actually getting to 1 gold back in those early days when money was relatively tight and knowing there were things that'd cost a 1000 of those.
For me there was also exploring areas we'd been through in the strategy games, interacting with characters we'd controlled and such. It's funny to think about how long the time period between Frozen Throne and WoW releasing was. It wasn't that long really but when it finally came out it felt like I'd been waiting to play WoW for a decade or something, even 6 months feels like an age when you're young and now it's been 2 decades basically and some amount of that has gone by in a flash.
Bro the time thing is totally true the time flys by now that I don't play anymore but we used too play lol everyday waiting on expansion years took forever it seemed
That flight path from Stormwind to pretty much any Alliance fp to the south, pre-Cata, swooped low over a totally isolated Troll village where some sort of party was apparently going on. Colored lanterns hung on ropes, dancers, drums.
I obsessed, spent hours trying to get there on foot, finally gave up and Googled.
There actually was a path, but it started well to the South, in Winterspring. Finally managed to get there after a few deaths -- was using a druid, and the combination of the two slow-fall capes that were available plus Noggenfogger didn't last long enough unless *really* careful.
it's a good thing that the intro of the video didn't spoil the cinematics at all
the voice of Sylvanas is the best female voice ingame ever.
At this point, I'm going to do my own compilation XD people keep reacting to this one and is missing several
Someone liked this comment so I have to said I did it 🤣 it's almost 3h 😅
Wrath of the Lich King is the best one, even people who don’t play WoW have heard about it
"even people who don’t play WoW have heard about it"
That fact doesn't tell anything about wow wotlk
@@different_stuff Wrath was when the game had the highest peaking number of players ever, and is still highly regarded as one of the best if not the best expansion ever made by wow players, better? jeez..
@@RamseZ76 wrath was the "end" of wow. the all things what people hated. were intreoduced in wotlk. Plus blizzard was under Activision when was wotlk so....
Wrath trailer is awesome but WoD,TWW are so much better
WoD is the best cinematic, though.
It's quite good, I especially like the voiceover contrasting with how things turned out.
The last 4-5 seconds always looked odd to me though. The whole thing looks detailed and 'real' then Arthus' nose/mouth look like rubber.
1. Her thirsting over Illidan is lowkey comedy gold
2. Arthas is to this day Blizzard's golden goose and they KNOW IT.
He is literally the best villain they've ever created and the fact that his expansion is widely considered the peak of WoW's popularity is like a shadow they still haven't been able to get out from. Helps that the cinematic is as good now as it was back then.
3. Anduin turning into MANDUIN over the years is honestly an awesome character arc.
4. Your confusion with Shadowlands echoes how the community felt.
Them doing nothing with Bolvar as the Lich King after years of buildup, Sylvannas getting redeemed (or at least getting a second chance) but Arthas being condemned for bis crimes despite their very similar circumstances and the Jailer being bootleg Thanos with a plan we STILL don't understand to this day is what makes Shadowlands the worst expansion storywise in my opinion.
Arthas DOESN T NEED REDEPTION. Really guys. He was always an ego maniac and had always people to stop him and make him reason. He doomed himself and almost the entire planet.
That said shadowlands could have been really good if they didn t rush it. Storywhise like they made it it s just forgettable that s eaven worse than bad imo.
Bolvar was wasted? Not so sure. He has not enough story behind him to be something interesting. A stand alone expansion wuold have made him cheap arthas 2.0.
Could he have been an ally? Maybe. I don t like this idea as well.
Sylvanas wasn't redeemed. She's still farming souls in the Maw.
Honestly so much stuff since like Cata when they ran out of all the loose story threads left from Warcraft III has been just an absolute mess. Like I'm sure there are some competent writers on the team because every now and then we get a genuinely good character arc or plot that makes enough sense to be passable, but there are literally dozens of character assassinations and "but why though?" story threads for every one of those. I'm not saying there can't be twists or hidden motives that only get revealed years later, but I swear the lead writers for the last several years were just like "cheap plot twists mean the story is interesting, right?". I'm still not fully convinced they have any fucking clue what they want the horde to be and just keep retreading the LITERAL plot point of the Orc campaign in WCIII:Reign of Chaos (Except now the warmonger sub-faction ISN'T poisoned by a literal giant demon...just fucking a long chain of fucking dumbasses that have no real plans for their own people beyond "war I guess" or like you said, w/e the fuck all the Jailer shit was about. Like, I almost wish the main story would stop jerking off the Titans' dicks for 2 seconds to write a coherent plot that doesn't retcon half the entire Warcraft story...maybe Azeroth being born will actually change something, like how FFIVX reinvented itself after 1.X got scrapped with A Realm Reborn)
@@DiabloTommaso 1. Arthas wasn't an ego maniac. He was reckless as hell, but his heart was in the right place until his need for vengeance got the better of him. But once he picked up Frostmourne he can't be held fully accountable for his actions as his soul was literally consumed by it.
2. I'm just saying its hypocritical af that we are supposed to have a level of sympathy for Sylvannas who has done stuff that's just as bad if not worse than Arthas, keep in mind she was the one who started this new war with the Alliance with the sole purpose of sending as many souls as possible to basically giga hell.
3. I feel like Bolvar should have *at least* been more active. The guy was literally asleep up until Legion, where he actually started to feel somewhat relevant again. Then he shows up briefly in BFA and then he stops being the Lich King before Shadowlands even starts properly.
Why even bother making Bolvar the Lich King then if he's just gomna be a plot device
@@LuckySmurf she kind of is?
Yeah they didn't magically forgive her, but its clear we're supposed to have sympathy for her, at least on some level.
They also kind of dissociated her from the blame by making her soul split into 2 halves like Uther's did.
I still get chills and goosebumps watching that first trailer 20 years later.
The feels watching these cinematics, and it's even more fun watching someone else enjoy them for the first time.
100% the battle for Azeroth cinematic was the best! Both sides giving chills in the same cinematic Is just so dope! That Banshee scream though! I still wish they had a toy that had that scream and her banshee form, so damn good!
Every time I see the cinematic of Mists of Pandaria I nearly start crying. It was the first addon I played with my friends, where we really could play together and I will never forget it for that
Where is Warbringers: Azshara? CMON DAMMIT, we need to give Voxy Sunken City backstory asap!
Warbringers: Jaina is also missing and opening cinematic to Lordaeron before they enter throne room. Even though Warbringers: Jaina was more of a music video it still provides context to the story that follows.
literally the best cinematic blizzard has ever done...the drums man
When she talks about taking a flight path for the first time and seeing the scope of the world and that she's been chasing that feeling ever since, that got me. I know why I've gone back to WoW so many times and now I know why my mouse is hovering over the re-install button now. I've played ESO, Guild Wars 2, Final Fantasy Online, all good in there own ways. But, WoW hit different.
Saying BFA was bad and on paar with WoD and SL is a crime. It was disappointing after Legion at max. But it was not bad at all overall. I only did not enjoy the last season of it
1:02:40 The best way to read Sylvanas's character at this point is that she's _completely_ lost her marbles after Saurfang made her freak out.
She's crazy, and backed by a monstrous power.
1:12:30 Dragonflight is a _very_ optimistic WoW expansion.
Voxy watching you react to these videos even though youbare not so familiar with the varying storyline and characters was awesome!
So thirsty. Chug-a-lug!
Geez. The smile on your face as you watch is infectious. I had a lot of fun watching these alongside you
They jumped the Broken Shore Cinematic wtf…….
Anybody calling Anduin "A baby" or similar in the last cinematic simply didnt watched what happend to him over the years. He is like 25 and lost both parents, had to take care of a whole kingdom as a child, got his father back, lost him AGAIN for real, had to fight multiple wars and then was mindcontrolled into doing heineous things to the point he didnt even know which thoughts were his own and which were the forced ones. And part of him LIKED IT. That was the last drop which pushed him into extreme PTSD because he was afraid of himself, that he might revel in chaos and destruction after spending YEARS trying to combat the conflict with dimplomacy and peace.
Btw why it missed cinematic about WHY Sylvanas burned Teldrassil, that Genn when was peace attacked Sylvanas and destroyed future for the Forsaken. And Fun fact Saurfang was the one who made plan about Attack on Teldrassil which than tried to sabotage. (and beacuse of his mistakes aka can't end life of Malfurion, all went for plan B - If you can't kill leader, kill his people)
it missed quite a few, the night before battle for lorderon as well
I just love that you had a big smile on yo face for the whole lich king cinematic. (I do the same thing because it's probably my favourite expac, although "YOU ARE NOT PREPARED!!!" is pretty good too) We were eatin good in wrath and BC huh...
Oh no!! they left out old soldier :(
"many will not understand.." RIP voljin.. i.. still dont understand.. but i do not forgive bliz.. losing him, in that way, was the end of wow's future for me..
He was themost underrated, smartest underdog, and wise beyond his long ears..
Later expansion says the loa God of death boss took over his body and said that.
These still give me shivers. I was in high school when this came out and burning crusade. It was incredible. We went from this, to this skeleton of blizzard we have now. I used to love their games. How the mighty have fallen.
I remember when Hearthstone was subtitled as Heroes of Warcraft.
Classic & Lich King cinematics are such classics, they still hit hard even a decade (or two) later.
You should really do starcraft 2 as well. They are also really good
Slightly odd question considering the channel but has she done all the MTG ones? There's been some good ones over the years IMO (I particularly like the Eldritch Moon one, the Theros underworld one (specifically the one with Erebos narrating) and everyone loves the War of the Spark one).
She watched them all on stream and compared them to the hearthstone ones, but she didn’t upload it
God, the Draenor cinematic is something else. Garrosh going back in time to play Connetticut Yankee and give the Horde modern tech, while warning his father about the Orcs's Original Sin.
Demon expects neolithic tribe. Gets artillery to the face. >:)
Murloc sound scared you as a kid? It should still scare you as an adult....
Love whatching these with you Voxy ^^ Blizzard trailers was the reason I got into there games way back when.
They skipped the wrath gate and ending cinematic from WotLK. :(
Your excitement over the Sylvanas vs Anduin epic battle was priceless! yeah, I remember feeling the same way when that expansion came out. Best graphics. My spouse said if they only made the WOW movies with the same cinematics as that one, they would be awesome to watch.
We love voxy reactions
warcraft 3 and those first few cinematics caused me to have a nearly 10 year WoW addiction. lol
Thr worst part about the whole Garrosh story is that, he is put on trial and found to be cleared of wringdoing by the Aincent spirits of Pandaria itself, and he laughs and says he'd do it all again anyway. But Thrall cheating in the Mak'Gora was utter bullshit and Garrosh calling him out was completely valid. He did what he could woth ehat he had. Did he go to far at times? Absolutely. Is it what he was taught to do? A B S O L U T E L Y.
Sure, he eventually steered away from the "honor" route but victory at any cost is still lretty in line with the Orcish way, even if you do have to nuke a city and give yourself over to the heart of an old god, and create a branching timeline in the progress 👀
After all these years, i get chills from the Lich King cinematic. What a time.
These are not all of the cinematics just to let you know. You skipped a bunch of them.
That sword was aimed at the heart of azeroth by the Titan Sargeras (the same titan whos blood is the source of fel magic, the same magic that turned the orcs green when they drank mannoroths blood in the warlords cinimatic) The reason they didn't drink it in the cinematic is because garrosh (son of grommash the guy who said "we will never be slaves" and the guy thrall killed with lightning traveled back in time and warned his father about the consequences of drinking that blood) The war within is part of a world soul saga (they have announced the next 3 expansions of Warcraft at once this is the first one in the world soul saga) it will be about fighting for the heart of the world so to speak.
I'm pretty sure I read something that said the World Soul is essentially the egg of another Titan. If so, before it hatches, maybe we all have to evacuate to another planet?
ahhh seing how you got emotional at saurfang's death, you wouldve definitely cried if you watched the Old Soldier cinematic beforehand. That video compilation was kinda shitty it skips some important stuff.
7:43 This frame, when Arthas wakes up, is the most iconic image blizzard ever did. Nothing ever came even close to this. In future expansions they did great phrases like "we will never be slaves", but the art was never better than The Lich King's cold gaze.
So, The Wandering Emperor’s identity is a secret…because she’s a panda?
This Universes Beyond bullstuff is so confusing
Actually funny
The epitome of warcraft lore in recent years: Wait what? Oh we are teleporting/time travelling again
Okay this girl doesn't seem to get it. No none of theese characters are from hearthstone. They are from warcraft.
Oh no! Anyway...
I'm so mad that they skipped one of the most important cinematic. Right after the Sylvanas Warbringers, they should show Old Soldier, and then the Battle for Azeroth opening cinematic.
Garosh did nothing wrong.
According to the Spirits of Pandaria, this is correct
revisionist!
Voxy, don't feel too bad. I didn't start playing until Cataclysm and even then when I did start the expansion was nearly almost over.
"And no game has gave me that feeling ever again. And I chase that feeling in my adult life." This one hit home hard.
My son... the day you were born, the very forests of Lordaeron whispered the name... Arthas.
who knew that the Dark Lady (Sylvanas) was inspired in the Dark Lady from Shakespear.
also she is so well writen GOAT
i grew up playing warcraft 3, i was 15 watching that TBC cinematic at my friends house, we where hardstuck on the second boss of BWL on goddamn dial up, seeing these cinematics was something else, especially the arthas one, shoulda mixed in the warcraft 3 ones too
I have seen this trailer soooo many times, and every single time when the singing comes in, it gets me right in the feels every time. So much nostalgia for me in this trailer. Not that of times way back when, cuz i was in my early 20's :D, but time spent with friends.
Dude, this was my high-school experience all over again. And that first time hippogriff flight path feeling of realizing just how big this game actually is was spot on. I miss those days lol
It's amazing how few comment on the fact that Illidan's color is off in this cinematic. He's like brownish yellow, when his original color is more along the lines of blueish-white with a slight purple sheen here and there. Moving more towards purple after absorbing the skull.
Watching these again gave me the chills and that's as someone who's basically been playing since the beginning as a kid. Wrath is definitely my favorite and where I got my official start and became a DK for life.
Thrall: "But that sword..." Voxy: *shocked Pikachu face* I haven't laughed that hard in a while. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
wrath of the lichking cinematic gives me the chills to this day... all days lost, so fucking worth it......
YOU DARE ENTER MY REALM? YOU ARE NOT PREPARED ... still gives me goosebumps til this day .... lok'tar ogar
No rejection of the gift....hands down the best cinematic ever...
I've posted a link to that cinematic, with time set to that one, final declaration, as a reply to political discussions from time to time. Indeed, in the end, only WE... can save ourselves.
Of course, that parting bit of wisdom that female Tortollan is pretty good:
"Knowledge is power. Except stupid knowledge. Avoid that if you can."
That "For the Horde!" is cemented as #2 of the best calls for charge ever in all of fiction.
the Shadowlands cinematic will always give me the chills. so ffin cool, Sylvanas is such a badass.
You can just tell that a Sylvanas simp wrote her. I think she has become absolutely arrogant, stupid and annoying with Shadowlands.
Started at the very end of Vanilla. I remember waiting in line at midnight for the launch of Wrath of the Lich King. So many memories. Here's to the people I met and the friends I made. Still chat to some of them 20 years later.
The thing you mentioned about the flight path… I first played when I was 8. I remember how epic it felt when I left northshire lol. My brother started exploring when I went to eat and I came back panicked about not being able to find my way back to goldshire
Warlord of Draenor: All of the potential, none of the payoff.
When mists of Pandaria came out, alot of people felt it was so misplaced and far from the timeline, but time has proven the developers to be wise, because every expasnion since has been one long saga, where every expasion is like a chapter in a book. Pandaria was the last sigh of relief and comic break we actually got in the game. It's like they had the whole thing planned out the whole time. We even had to go back to Pandaria for the Blue Dragonflight campaign. It's pretty cool
Voxy your "Yeeeaaahhh For the Alliance" might have been the cutest thing I have ever seen:)
I quit WoW long time ago but when I want to crying or feel hyped, I watch all of cinematic again. They're just that awesome!
Had the exact same feeling on my first flightpath too at roughly the same age, it was the teldrassil to auberdine path and it amazed me. Teldrassil was awesome but it felt like such an enclosed space like other games I'd played before, and suddenly I was over an ocean heading towards an entire world. Amazing feeling.
The MoP cinematic is one of my personal favorites and I think really underrated.
I share that feeling. The first time I took a flight path. After playing for several weeks. Only a couple of hours per day but still. A long time. And all of a sudden. Elevated. seeing all of the land I quested through from above. And the feeling of grandeur and epic scale that was left to experience. Nostalgia. One of a kind game experience achieved. I hear you. I agree.
wait what!? it took them THIS LONG to address the GIANT SWORD STABBED INTO AZEROTH from legion?
technically it was addressed at the end of Legion when the artifact weapons we'd spent the whole expansion powering up were used to turn it off, and then in BfA when we went around the world collecting the blood of the planet to put back in. At this point it's just landscape.
oh wow i remember skipping school for wotlk drop. the nostalgia from these are so insane
the ''Dead Guy'' is Nathanos he was a human in love with Sylvanas. He died and Sylvanas resurected him inside the body of his dead nephew... and hes the assholest of em all
Nathanos, AKA "Blizzard's less than subtle depiction of what they think is the Sylvanas fanbase."
It doesn't matter how many times I see the lick king trailer or frankly shadowlands trailer too ... chills literal chills. Every - freaking - time!
I like that you actually WATCH the cinematics and pay attention. A lot of streamers are to obsessed with looking at chat every 10 seconds to even watch everything aha
Big green guy is called Shrek 🙌
i played the beta of world of warcraft cuz my brothers friend had a key, my account (that i still have) is from the second day of launsch in EU (the servers was full/crashed) when i tryed to get online, so i tryed the next morning.
50:32 that little smile on the faces of Saurfang and Voxy is amazing. Plus i am a little disappointed that they didnt show enough cinimatics of Legion. Atleast they should have shown the "Fall of Varian" and when Anduin visits his father's grave and get his swords.
All of these WOW cinematics hit me right in the nostalgia - get me so hype! New subber btw, nice to meet yall /moo (Tauren main)
aaah the racist race
This is so funny man, keep it up, love to see more!
Azeroth "Hear me!"
Voxy "Scared me"
The first cinematics were absolutely god tier. The cinematic team knocked it out of the park every single time.
Voxy, I was waiting for your reaction to Battle for Azeroth! I was so excited to see you have the same same reaction i did to it. I love d it so much, I told my kids to play cut scene that at my Funeral.
50:04 i totally forgot this line...when in tww cinematic anduin looks disgusted at thrall "you're here to tell me we don't get to hide"
Such a chill channel, love to see a fresh take on WoW! I expected the chat to feel as passionately about the lore as I did 😅
edit: FOR THE HORDE!!!
