Now, I know there's a lot happening in the lore and story of WoW vanilla, the base game. You fight big bad guy after big bad guy. Very confusing how that happens I know, so naturally, as the prominent WoW lore youtuber that I am, I have decided to bring you clarity today. With this short and insightful summary of the events that transpire in vanilla, you can feel further inspired and motivated once you actually confront these foes yourself :) No problem.

What happened to the "This game is shit, the developers are shit, I feel like shit when I play WoW?" mentality?
If you think about it, this is basically all WoW's story has been for the last 20 or so years.
UNTIL...
“…if you think about it…”
I don’t have to think about it; I’ve been wondering why since the beginning lmao yet here we are doing it now and we’ll HECKIN DO IT AGAIN… 😅😂
The key difference is we weren't any chosen ones or what ever back then.
We were hired thugs, that decided to band together to go into the big scary place and kill shit.
Correct....UNTIL dragonflight...I believe we had 3 years of peace between Shadowlands and Dragonflight
@@Heartscream91 you are "heckin" gay
The whole "... UNTIL!!" sums up the entire franchise xD
and pretty much every other action franchise
I think my favorite part of Captain Grim videos is how recognizable the player characters are. I recognized the dwarf priest who had everyone including the boss cheering him on to walk out of the fire, the night elf warrior who caused a wipe because he popped all cooldowms to top the meters, the troll priest who got his world buffs dispelled in Blackrock Mountain by the bald night elf priest, the female tauren warrior who ran off crying because the undead Warlock who's also present yelled at her for wanting to roll on the axe when she isn't an orc, the orc hunter and his pet who was patient zero for the Hakkar blood plague, and the undead mage who got saved by that orc warrior in the Barrens and then found him later and tried to return the favor but they both got beat up.
The warrior who kill grey people in "strugling of playing classic" is here, the war who take aggro of onixya is hereand the woman war as well, the paladin i don't remember witch clip, the demo who yell on she tauren is here, the rogue who distract the war is here
There's a continuation error tho: In the AQ, Themilk, the female tauren warrior who quit the guild during BWL after receiving constructive critcism from the Guild Leader about not getting an axe, because orcs have axe specialization, is still there. She shouldn't ovbviously since she quit the guild.
This right here is dedication to a creator and his videos, I’ve been watching for I don’t even know how long and didn’t make that realization lol.
Good eyes!
That dwarf is the LEGENDARY Derek!
@@Bebop_Knightor just saved presets
C’thun saying “This. Is.. Bullshit.” fucking killed me 😂
All C'thun lines were fucking great
I. HATE. YOU. ALL!
It's good that killing wolves instilled just exactly the right skillset in the hero to take on immortal gods, or else Azeroth would REALLY be in trouble!
You need to stand and hit. If you have fire under you you stand somewhere else. If the boss is still alive you need to hit harder.
Yep. There are few and far in between that finished that "Quest for Tooth!" ~ Carbot WoW reference
I love how the storyteller has high-res textures because he tells the story of the past.
That's my canon now, Classic is his book version of the past events and that's why we have all those changes to the game that weren't there at the time XD
Edit: Sad that Mr. Bigglesworth didn't get his own grave.
That's because you're not supposed to kill Mr. Bigglesworth you monster!
@@hizzousekakashi8836 Unfortunately his death is canon :(
@@_Lis25he died cause Kel-Thuzad forgot to feed him...
It's a bit like in Castlevania: SotN. When Alucard and Maria talk about the Belmont, her thought bubble displays the 16-bit version of him, but Alucard's thought bubble displays the 8-bit version. Even though they are 32-bit.
@@Sigxy huh never played it, thx for telling me thou 👍
2:29 Derrick still barely functioning by almost facing the door
😂
You can do Derrick 😢
He's also facing the wall at 0:56 - good thing they already won the fight.
Hahaha! Dude I love that! Poor Derrick
He's also looking the wrong way at 1:24
Wizard's first Appearance: Regular cozy wizard's tower
Wizard's second Appearance: Fire's gone out, cat attacks him
Wizard's third Appearance: Occult candles and a dead gnome in the fireplace
Wizard's fourth Appearance: Ooze pool and Thaddius behind him, plaguebombs in the fireplace
Pretty sure that's a diaper baby gnome, death is questionable but he's certainly in the infamous lay down position from that accursed meme.
@@Onemanfunnyfarmwhich.. Meme?
@@alihorda There's a particular meme that highlights the adult baby roleplaying scene in roleplay servers. Look up William Diaperbaby if you are curious, it's not particularly graphic but the text will make you cringe. The mechagnome versions make it even more cursed. Edit: use knowyourmeme if you fear the google bar.
Last thing Hakkar should have done before dying should be infecting a pet xDD
damned hunters
Ragnaros was so damn epic.
Just because he talked with caps lock...
wagnawoss
I think a "by fire be purged" was missing but great nonetheless
It's so nice seeing all the bosses being buried together like that ❤
Or what was left of them... Players usually loot ANYTHING...
Do you know in which zone that burial ground is, location looks nice.
@@_Lis25 Looks like Mulgore
@@TheGigachad0 I didn't level as a horde but are there trees like that in Mulgore? Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if that was in the Arathi Highlands near the Alterac.
@@TheGigachad0Oh yeah you're right, didn't notice that you can see Tauren structures when Player is talking at the end.
Ah World of Warcraft, the story about how greed doesn't allow the enemy to win.
All they had to do was give us 1 copper and we would destroy the world ourselves with the smiles on our faces.
100% I mean that’s how Hakkar even comes back is cause some troll gave us a quest.
@@bosinclaire7670 or Abercrombie who had a bigger success than most of the WoW villains, if he only didn't forget to give us the quest to ride the Stitches into the Darkshire on its second shoulder.
And funnily enough, there would be some people who don't read quests that even then they wouldn't realize what they've done XD
@@_Lis25Abercrombie is such a great villain.
actually, wasn't it lore wise that a certain dwarf said there was "LOOT" inside ragnoras's lair was the reasoning why we went inside?
@@_Lis25imagine how success is he just opened a clothing store in partnership with fitch
3:19 Kel'thuzad being the voice of the people as always.😤
Also, how nice of the people of Azeroth to make tombs for them despite being such vile and hated villains.
It's Mulgore.
The Tauren are too damn nice.
Yeah, Vanilla "story" was like this. But I think that was its' strong point. It made every raid a unique story and every boss kill felt like you've accomplished something. You got many adventures. Contrast later expansions, where everything is a part of some schmucks master plan.
Or TBC where we killed the best anti-hero faction Wc3 had just because they existed, and so had to be turned to mustache-twirling villains.
$15/month was pretty good entertainment value back then
So what you says is, you want game to have no story so you can headcanon your own? Lmao
It's the best because it felt like a real enough world that would logically have more than one thing going on at a time. Expansions gravitated more and more towards the theme park style where you're just going for 1 specific ride and everything has to relate to the main theme of the ride.
@@AdriatheBwitch some of us were born with imaginations, I dunno my dude. A story having less fleshed out or unexplained/mysterious things, or mercurial motivations doesnt automatically make it bad. Tolkien wrote arguably the first and to this day the best high fantasy epic, and built a detailed whole world down to the languages, and yet there are so, so many things which arent fleshed out to the reader, even in the posthumously published notes, that the reader can only speculate about and use their imagination to fill out those parts of the world and narrative themselves. Yet that doesnt make the work he produced worse, arguably it makes it better.
The same way with WoW. Those bosses did have storylines, some pretty extensive (onyxia being the most fleshed out on the alliance side), but yet every one of them isnt excruciatingly detailed nor do they have multiple cinematics of main characters throwing exposition at you explaining why they're doing what they're doing and why you have to help/stop them. Nor was the story and big bads introduced to you at the very beginning of the game or through a launch/patch cinematic, and contant in-game npc reminders about them or how important you are, the savior of the alliance/horde etc. Modern wow storytelling is lazy and tedious, and completely broken and disjointed if youre leveling up or new to the game (or even if youre a veteran player, its still almost incomprehensible).
You are a CRIMINALLY underrated content creator man. Happy to see you've still got some WoW material in the trunk. You've got a great mind for humor, cinematography, and storytelling. Always happy when new Grim videos show up.
appreciate you saying that man, means a lot! Thanks :)
@@CaptainGrim Not a problem! You have more than earned a little praise. Hope we're keeping you and yours gainfully employed
I think many people can agree to this! 😎👍
love the ending, the warrior did all the raids and got no gear, because they we're all GDKP runs XD
Haha that's it !
The ragnaros entrance is so badass lmao
the priest derrick never faces where he is supposed to. lol nice detail
0:56 - wall
2:29 - door
And so the horde and alliance finally works together, and azeroth is at peace....
UNTIL
S Y L V A N A S...
"Death to the Scourge! And death TO THE LIVIIIIING!!!!"
the fact that the first game has an evil elemental, an evil dragon, a troll raid ,old gods raid and a lich as a final boss is insane. It caught all the basic wow themes. Its so great.
God I love your work. The storyteller saying, “…UNTIL!!!”
It’s illegal for you to GO THIS HARD with Ragnaros.
I feel like in earlier versions of the game, these big raid bosses were threats that were already there causing problems. And you amongst many Adventurers just became strong enough to finally deal with it. Versus in later expacs it just became one big world ending threat from left field over and over.
I'm laughing so hard when C'thun says "this is bullshit" ahahahaha XD
Derrick 1:24 doing Derrick things 2:29 the true wow classic player!
I actually think this was a strong point of vanilla, a bunch of different factions popping up all around azeroth to do their own thing, it actually felt like a world.
Even used the canonical faction kills for each raid.
Nice detail!
The background change is a nice detail in the storyteller scenes.
aq40 always hit differently, such a great ambiance/raid.
Is azeroth saved yet?
Blizzard: no
We're at fault. If not our greed for more adventures and goblin's greed for more money, Warcraft could had been finished a long time ago :)
Of course not, not with the biggest villain in the franchise's history still out there: Blizzard!
Until....
That Ragnaros animation was totally cool!!! You really pumped up these animations ♥
I love the idea of a graveyard where we keep every end raid boss, it would be freakin huge by now 😂
You could make an Arlington cemetery if you extended it to all raid and dungeon bosses lol
Alliance: "What about Onyxia?"
Grim: "Who?"
Whenever a new video from you comes out, it brightens my day.
Always happy to hear that. Wishing you all the best and take care ❤
1:25 that dwarf priest who seems to be completely lost...I think we saw him in a previous Grim video guys, but I wonder which one it was? Hmmmm...xD
That door slam to neck grab was pure gold xD
I loved how the storyteller kept getting more intense. Please never stop making videos 🏆
You could had made it at the end so that Kazzak opens the dark portal in order to escape becoming another gravestone
please do each of the other expansions in a nutshell
2:29 genuinely laughed so hard at this, been awhile since something made me burst out laughing, great animation and fantastic bits! I always wonder if bosses feel like we're evil little menaces but also understand that when they see us they're fairly fucked as we rip them a part and wear pieces of them. Except for maybe Hella since she acknowledges us as "What manner of creatures ARE YOU?!"
100% lore accurate, well done
Finally another CaptainGrim Vid! Great as always.
This is my favorite telling of Classic, and my favorite video of yours so far! Keep up the great lore keeping! :D
Awesome work. Loved the animations of Ragnaros.
Love this type of humor, great work Grim!
So good. Both the story of Azeroth and your story crafting, Cpt Grim
This is amazing, please do the rest of the WoW lore!
Captain Grim back at it again. LETS GO!
Zovaal:"Everything is going according to my plan!"
I had to insta like, i can't wait to watch it when i get home tonight !!! THANK YOU !!!
classic wow raids and atmosphere felt very soulful
I actually like how the whole vanilla story is a collection of much smaller stories.
This was such a cathartic watch! It makes me miss these old end game raid bosses 😭
Your videos are thr absolute best, I love them and Im always happy when another one releases!
I haven't been playing WoW in almost a year, and I don't know if I will again, but your videos have always made me smile. I hope you continue to love the game as much as you do so you can keep making content like this. 😊
"This... Is... Bullshit."
"I... Hate... You... All."
C'thun is a freaking mood.
Dude your animations are top notch holy shit
Great video as always! 💯 I certainly didn't expect to see Kel'thuzad's ghost there since his phylactery was not destroyed and disappeared after you gave it to an NPC for a quest xD
This is the first video i have seen of yours and I loved your creative use of in game models, immediate sub!
cheers, I'm happy you enjoyed it :)
A shame you don't mention Onyxia. She was nigh on taking over Stormwind and the Dwarfs losing their war from a lack of aid from the humans.
She was the first ever raid boss killed and no other character has as many variants to be killed as a raid boss.
Also had the best storyline told in the game bar maybe the lich king, though, unfortunately this was restricted to the alliance only and really only if you did elwynn>westfall>redridge>deadmines>duskwood>dustwallow prior to doing the attunement chain in brd; though there are subtle hints about it in just about every human-affiliated zone/hub through 60 as the common refrain 'stormwind won't send us soldiers/supplies for our problems'. Started at basically level 1 (if human), consistently part of the story through level ~20.
Please never stop making videos, you are the last thing about Wow I enjoy.
Man i love these videos, they are very well done, and as a bonus, they are also really funny, loved the guy calling Ragnaros as if he was sleeping in the next room, but i have to say, the atmosphere when you show the AQ raid is pretty awesome, that scene in isolation would give a good trailer for the raid, of course until those maniacs show up hehheheh
Still a better love story than Twilight.
It has been sometime, Welcome back
Cheers bro :)
Ahh, I’m happy every time a new Captain Grimm video comes out.
I would love to see a behind the scenes video on how you make these. Specially this one, was so good.
You start as a simple armed farmer, one thing leads to another, and now you must slay a god of fire.
Confirmed, WoW is actually a jRPG
Mom wake up grim posted a video
Thank you!
Didnd't play back then, didnt know the story until today.
Glad to know it ended well and they lived happily ever after.
So happy to see a new video for wow :D
Glad to see Derik managed to clear MC :)
Vanilla adventures didn't let one baddie get out their front door before shaking them down for the goods. Quality Azeroth defense force.
That was super funny, the Tauren licking the eye of C’Thun nailed it😂
Classy and relatable as ever, thank you
As one of the FFXIV only players, I'm so glad Asmongold introduced us to captain grim! Now I know the story of WoW!
UNTIL!!!
Great video as always.
2:44 I love that "until" XD he's so excited that even his monocle falls off
Haven't played wow in over 10 years but still love and watch every captain grim video that pops! 😂
Honestly it's how I get updates on what is going on with wow anymore!
2:44 man I always get chills, even when they're about to get whooped Terminal montage style.
That was some awesome machinima work!
Thaaaaaaaank you, love your videos!!!
i LOVE how Derek seems to always look in the wrong direction
As a wow player this is all so relatable, i really love your videos man 😄
glad you enjoy them bro :)
Oh my GOD the smash cut to the tombstone got me good
A new episode \o/
The "until"s got me :D
this was hilarious, love your storytelling
Really love you kind of humor and your way of shit storytelling. Keep doing this great job, I'll always be here (not that matters)
It matters to me bro, thanks
Very good video, its exactly how it was, and when people says that "ho yeah vanilla was grounded" like dude...in the very first raid you kill the freeaking God of Fire...
This was really good!
Lol I love the weird angles you give the characters in every video. It makes me laugh every time. Unhinged storyteller lol.
I absolutely need "This. Is... Bullshit." as a sound byte for discord soundboards LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Outstanding work, great to see Machinima alive!
I had to go frame by frame, but it was worth it for seeing the storyteller get mauled by the cat right before zul'gurub.
OG wow raids give me strong vibes of custom games from wc3
we need for all expansions !! such a good vid
I am so impressed by your editing skills, how are you doing it?! Keep up the good work! Awesome vid
aw thanks, i appreciate that. i'm glad you enjoy it :) nothing too special I suppose, just practice and getting used to it :D
Derek just looking in the wrong direction during the Ragnaros fight. It's the details that get me, man xD
I love a video that gives me the chuckles
