A childhood company I loved recognize my talents, oh what's that gaming company? Oh it's blizzard, the one with sexual allegations and bad decisions in less than a decade and other bad stuff on their resume, but still, I got recognized! How cool is that?"

I love the hurried and fever atmosphere throughout the video aside from a few slow moments. really emphasizes the threat of the lich king and the scourge, but also how players are going to zerg through classic. simply amazing
@@joppekim Not rly. They would have to make a new engine. There's only so much you can do with Old MMOs to update them. And the thing is.. they lack the key people to make this a Reality. Nowadays - hence I see it being unlikely if, it ever will.. happen. Although I should think they should've done a New One ever since MoP.
Why Blizzard ever thought to do live action for their movie was always beyond me. It's just so much better with cinematic-esque animation instead and this definitively proves it.
I heard it's because expensive. 1 Blizzard cinematic can cost million. imagine a movie made with full cinematic quality. it can be the most expensive movie ever made.
@@oemahkucing7876 That's honestly not expensive at all when it comes to big budget movies. It's extremely unlikely it would be the most expensive movie ever made. Not even close. Average cinematic is 4-5 minutes. Even at 1million per 5 minutes you'd have to make a 16+ hour movie for it to even break the top 50 of most expensive movies ever made. The Warcraft movie that actually got made had a 160 mil budget. By your figure Blizz could make a 13 hour movie with cinematics on the same budget.
The magic of Wrath is that despite the game not looking like this, we can still recgonize the different elements and zones that are actually in the game. Imagination is a powerful drug.
Try not to remember that a few years later, Sylvanas toyed with him (well, not Arthas but Bolvar, but still the Lich King) and the badass Helm of Domination turned into "that thing".
People literally asking "what about the JAILER!?" people so ignorant. Jailer and Sargeras worked together. Sargeras got Ner'zuul and had the Jailer forge the blade and helm from Ner'zuul.
The mercs weren't going to desert him; they were loyal. Arthas murdered them as scapegoats; he told his soldiers the mercenaries burned their ships (which he paid the mercenaries to do) so his army wouldn't realize he stranded them there for his own selfish vendetta. At Frostmourne he said "I'll bear any curse to save my homeland" true, but when Muradin warned him it was dangerous and to please lead your men home his exact words were "Damn the men, nothing will prevent me from having my revenge, old friend. Not even you." Every choice Arthas made even prior to Frostmourne was evil, selfish, or at the least showed a callous disregard for other people's lives.
Arthas was a good guy but the culling of Stratholme which was necessary changed him , he became more ruthless and cold , and well can you blame him after what Mal'ganis did to his people . I would say Arthas did everything right or it least what had to be done until he decided to go to Northrend to hunt Mal'ganis , that is when he effed up . It was clearly a trap and Arthas fell for it hook line and sinker . But there is more context as to why Arthas burned the ships down , his men didn't just decide not to follow him out of the blue , an emissary was sent from King Terenas the second ( Arthas' father ) by Uther's request , it was an order to have him and his men return back home . Instead of doing that he burned the ships down to have any chance of killing Mal'ganis because if his men left him it would be over . So that is why he blamed the mercenaries and used them as scapegoats as you said , he would never have done that if he was not ordered to return , I am not excusing his actions but he didn't do it just for sh^ts and giggles . The whole Frostmourne thing isn't that simple either , he and his men were cold , hungry , lost , outnumbered and it was only a matter of time before the scourge kills them all , Arthas was desperate at this point so he decided to find Frostmourne as that was the only chance of getting his revenge . After Muradin told him that the blade was cursed Arthas rationalized it by saying he will do anything to save his homeland but even he knew he was just rationalizing it to himself at that point , when Muradin pressed him further and told him to go home Arthas got angry and then he said damn the men and that nobody will prevent him from having his revenge not even Muradin . But to be fair before he picked Frostmourne up I am certain he had no idea what kind of impact that would really have , I doubt he would have picked it up if it meant becoming the Lich King's champion and ultimately destroying his homeland in the process ( quite ironic ) and much more . He probably thought it would have been something that would only affect him and would end with him , not that he would be the hand that destroyed so much including his homeland and becoming a global threat . It is perfectly understandable that Arthas wanted revenge for what Mal'ganis did and Mal'ganis definitively deserved to taste his retribution however Arthas as a prince and a leader had a responsibility to his people and he failed them , that was the wrong choice to make as it was clearly a trap as night and day , but after the culling of Stratholme he just tossed rational thinking to the wayside and all he was thinking was him smashing Mal'ganis' skull with his hammer . Some people speculate had Uther and Jaina assisted Arthas in the culling of Stratholme that they would be able to persuade him not to fall for Mal'ganis' trap and follow him on his turf but I don't think he would care , he would have craved for retribution all the same . His actions in Northrend especially when it came to Frostmourne were selfish , but he was too proud and hungry for revenge to go home and let Mal'ganis get away with what he did , hubris was the fall of many great men and Arthas was no exception .
@@saula8948 you're making assumptions you cannot substantiate when you say "He normally wouldn't have done this except..." there is nothing to base that rationale on so it makes no sense to try and make excuses for his actions. Stratholme is a perfect example of this. Its easy to say it was the right choice in hindsight as a third party watching from the outside with the knowledge of the story we have but that is an incorrect way to judge what happened. We need to judge Arthas's actions based on what he knew and did. He had no idea how many people were actually going to turn into undead, he knew the grain had been distributed but that doesn't mean everyone had eaten it. He had no idea how long it took for the change to happen. He had no idea if there was a cure or means of prevention; something as a Paladin trained for justice and compassion should have been his priority let alone the prince's duty to his people. He made no attempt to help or save anyone and immediately went for the nuclear option of kill them all. These are facts. This is why Jaina and Uther were appalled and refused to help him. Because there is no world or scenario where any sane person can justify his decision. He wasn't making the "hard right choice" because he didn't even consider his options outside of murder. This is the actions of an evil, possibly terrified, man who has no regard for the lives and well being of others if it conflicts with his goals. And this was all long before Frostmourne's influence.
This is wrong, Uther convinced the king to to recall all the troops by royal command and he decided to burn the ships before they got to the shore then blamed the scourge.
@@gorgeouszan I would say Arthas' lack of knowledge is what makes the culling of strath the right call, He had no idea how bad the plague was spread, He had no idea if there was a cure, And he had no idea how long he had until they turned. What he did know is that if he just left everyone there alive that there most likely would be an entire city's worth of scourge on his doorstep causing vast amounts of dead innocents. So yes he took the nuclear option to purge a city before they turned, to prevent others from falling. He made a decision that a paladin could not but, one a king could. He committed one genocide to prevent the genocide of his entire kingdom, The choice is cold and calculating yet IMO was the correct one. Everything up to him chasing Mal'ganis was the right call, Although to be fair he very much could of explained his thought process in a more palatable way than "This whole city must be purged". Just my take on his story, I assume the writers didn't intend it to be such a moral conundrum but more black/white. If that is true they stumbled on a goldmine of thought experiments.
@@Teh_Duck Pretty much what I told him . This is what makes the incident in Stratholme possibly the best event in Warcraft history . Intentional or not it is rare we see a ,, gray area ,, kind of story and not just the generic black and white trope . Stratholme and the events after are why people love Arthas so much as a character . No big character went through this kind of story , most of them were black and white for the most part with a pinch of gray area here and there so it makes them much less interesting characters when they are always the ,, good guys ,, .
The only reason people think Arthus's decision to cull stratholm wa bad was because he didn't have remorse for the cursed citizens. If he had felt bad about hurting his people but knew it was the only way, more people would realize he was right, but he felt no remorse because in his eyes, they already WERE the undead. Jaina and Uther didn't fuck him, but it definitely made him a little paranoid, knowing if his best friends could leave him over him doing what he knew to be right, then anyone would
1:12 and 1:16 this is the most beautiful thing i may have ever seen. nothrend was just so damn chilly, exotic and fmiliar at the same time. best continent best expac best content in the whole game.
One idea dawned on me here, in my opinion, Blizzard should wait with the introduction of the ability to Fly in Northrend (as they do in current additions) and introduce Flying later (in some of the phases) so the players will receive a completely new experience from the Lich, this it will also affect a much more detailed study of Northrend (especially for beginners) and world PVP will be much more alive (more dangers and more immersion in the world and lore, this is cool as for me). It would be interesting to convey this idea to them somehow it would be interesting to know the reaction community.
@@nuudelz3711 I don't think that this would be a big problem for Blizzard because you can put an NPC that would just teleport to those places where you need a flying mount.
Straight up, this is the level of quality I want to see out of Blizz ingame cinematics. It would really fit well with the story telling. Shit. Imagine wow looking like this in general.
You know they can make what if story with Wrath Classic. What would happen if Arthas is free from Frostmourne? Will he return to claim his kingdom from the Forsaken?
if they are lazy they could even make a small questline where you work with bronze dragons and they show you another timeline of what could have happened if arthas grabbed the blade but supressed nerzul somehow and didnt go crazy mode. could also make one where jaina or maybe uther grabs the blade instead and then you have jaina + arthas vs uther as lich king, sounds cool in my head
Some observations: - Coldarra/The Nexus looks incredible (well, everything in the trailer looks really good the way Hurricane filtered/edited it). - Left handed tauren death knight at one point (had the DK 2h sword from the last quest on their back, but it was sheathed with the hilt over the left shoulder). - Strangely using some HD models that didn't exist until later expansions (that Stag/Buck in Grizzly Hills was a Legion model I think?).
One bit of lore I love is what came from Muradin's "Death". Since until he returned everyone thought he'd died to the scourge in Northrend,. Dwarves can imbue the weapons they forge with their emotions and when Magni was given the crystal by Alexandros Mograine, he would channel his hatred and desire for revenge on the undead into the weapon it would become. The Ashbringer. If Arthas hadn't left Muradin for dead then the Ashrbinger might not have happened the way it did.
This is impressive. Blizzard generaly makes smazing videos and trailers. Maybe they should start making full lenght movies based on their games. That would be great.
Peter Jackson + world of warcrafr + unlimited funding for a movie with no execs telling him what to do = the greatest story ever told. It would rip lord of the rings to shreds if done properly.
Blizzard are both geniuses for commissioning this guy and also zug brain dum dums for taking this long to give this guy money for making their game look better
Imagine an old expansion from 2008 new " ingame engine" trailer litteraly KILLS the new expansion's own Cinematic...Absolutely flawless! Great job to this dude and big thank you to the classic team that hired him to do that.
I love how he added in Arthas' two Captains Falric and Marywn. Shows he really gave a shit about the source material for the trailer. Even Blizzard's own cinematics never had them in it.
Also the shred of humanity left within arthas once he was the lich king and had killed off nerzhul was the only thing keeping the scourge from going berserk everywhere (according to the lore).
Ok so we understand, lich king armor created by Kil'jaedin was bluprinted by the Jailor, Zorthaal. That also includes Froustmourne, that Muradin was conveniently able to read some how.
The love for the source material, call backs to previous xps, perfect shots for each zone that encapsulate everything those zones made players feel the first time we hit Northrend. This was better than any cinematic that blizzard has created since the wotlk intro trailer. Prove me wrong.
I'm glad someone agrees with that. I always remember doing Culling of Stratholme and sitting thinking that the city is plagued and if left alone the plague would spread so the only logical decision is either locking down or purging the entire city to save everyone else. Never understood why every other character thought it was wrong and I think they only did that to make a distinction between good guys vs bad guy cliche.
They skipped most of Frozen Throne story. He came back -> killed his father -> fought Illidan. In between killing his father and duel with Illidan he went through Sylvanas betrayal (creation of Forsaken faction). Went through entire Northrend weakened. Fought Yog Saron. And only in the End kicked Illidans ass.
You know what i want for classic +? Arthus wins and tirion sacrifices his life to save us and escape! Frostmourne doesn’t shatter and ashbringer breaks! Then continue story from there!
King Menethil wasn't surprised to see Arthas wearing all black and skulls for an outfit, he just thought his son is finally going through the emo phase in his life
I enjoyed classic vanilla and I won't lie it makes me want to play again but i know wrath will die out just as quick as tbc did so there's no point. Maybe if shadowlands hadn't soured my taste for the game and made me quit I would have come back for wrath classic 🤷♂. But it is fun to watch this and remember the fun times I had with my guild and friends back then...... but sadly some things can't be recreated with wrath classic and those guys are one of them 😔. But hopefully ppl who do play it enjoy the experience as many of us did back then!!
The dev who disagrees, and said the culling was the wrong decision, doesnt know what he is talking about. Leaving the city alone would cause the undead to fester and spread further. Waiting for the citizens to turn before ending them would cause a huge loss of his own troops, and possibly bolster the scourge further. Plus, there it could also be believed that as a paladin, he believed his people being cursed with undeath would curse their souls. By killing them before they turned he would save them from that
Imagine owning the arthas storyline and NOT making it into a movie
It would sell for sure but after warcraft movie they are propably not gonna make it. Making a movie is propably too much risk for them to take rn
Amazon will buy the rights and get Whoopi Goldberg to play him.

Straight up, this is the level of quality I want to see out of Blizz ingame cinematics. It would really fit well with the story telling. Shit. Imagine wow looking like this in general.
That cinematic literally gave me chills!! Wow!!!
You know they can make what if story with Wrath Classic. What would happen if Arthas is free from Frostmourne? Will he return to claim his kingdom from the Forsaken?
if they are lazy they could even make a small questline where you work with bronze dragons and they show you another timeline of what could have happened if arthas grabbed the blade but supressed nerzul somehow and didnt go crazy mode. could also make one where jaina or maybe uther grabs the blade instead and then you have jaina + arthas vs uther as lich king, sounds cool in my head
@@NozVT alternate history through the bronze dragons, brilliant 👏 now that'd be interesting
I can't believe the jailer was such a mastermind to orchestrate such a deep and intricate plan !
he was also manipulated lol wow writers run our of ideas so every final boss is manipulated by someone else.
Don't you worry, because the Jailer was actually also manipulated as well!
I wanna see this guy do the Wrathgate cinematic. holy shit!
2:17 did...did you say "Dalarian"?
Some observations:
- Coldarra/The Nexus looks incredible (well, everything in the trailer looks really good the way Hurricane filtered/edited it).
- Left handed tauren death knight at one point (had the DK 2h sword from the last quest on their back, but it was sheathed with the hilt over the left shoulder).
- Strangely using some HD models that didn't exist until later expansions (that Stag/Buck in Grizzly Hills was a Legion model I think?).
That hype video had more LORE than SHADOWLANDS
One bit of lore I love is what came from Muradin's "Death". Since until he returned everyone thought he'd died to the scourge in Northrend,. Dwarves can imbue the weapons they forge with their emotions and when Magni was given the crystal by Alexandros Mograine, he would channel his hatred and desire for revenge on the undead into the weapon it would become.
The Ashbringer.
If Arthas hadn't left Muradin for dead then the Ashrbinger might not have happened the way it did.
Every time Asmon defends Arthars's actions, is one more step closer towards becoming a hard-core scarlet crusade RP priest main.
When a passionate fan makes a better trailer than the actual company lmao. This shit had me so hyped.
@@HiddenEvilStudios Wanted to say the same thing lol. No better example than Astartes
Bro I'm gonna be mad if they don't get him to present every new raid coming out
Dude wtf they should absolutely hire this guy, this was some good hype and insanely epic scenes.
This just gave me chills and excitement for wrath once again
This is impressive. Blizzard generaly makes smazing videos and trailers. Maybe they should start making full lenght movies based on their games. That would be great.
Warcraft movie, based on Warcraft 1, the first precursor to world of Warcraft, it’s an ok movie but I still want to see Warcraft 2 movie
This is so good. They should make Classic + (WOW 2 basically) in unreal 5.
that was amazing made me tear up im so hyped
That trailer is better then the entire game. Wow that dude is good.
I'm sure Blizzard paid Hurricane with 1 month game time and a store mount of his choosing.
holy crap that trailer is so amazing! :)
Peter Jackson + world of warcrafr + unlimited funding for a movie with no execs telling him what to do = the greatest story ever told.
It would rip lord of the rings to shreds if done properly.
Insane goosebumps during that.
Such a sick trailer
Sucks Blizzard destroyed The Legacy of Arthas and the Lich King with Shadowlands.
Can’t believe they finally got Hurricane to do these trailers.
Should have ended with "frostmorn hungers" but looks awesome!
Blizzard are both geniuses for commissioning this guy and also zug brain dum dums for taking this long to give this guy money for making their game look better
Imagine an old expansion from 2008 new " ingame engine" trailer litteraly KILLS the new expansion's own Cinematic...Absolutely flawless! Great job to this dude and big thank you to the classic team that hired him to do that.
I love how he added in Arthas' two Captains Falric and Marywn. Shows he really gave a shit about the source material for the trailer. Even Blizzard's own cinematics never had them in it.
Wotlk ~ Has so many Nordic Mythology reference in it's crazy.
Grizzly hills, Storm peaks and
The (Jungle place) great zones! ^^
its so good, each frame can be a new wallpaper
Also the shred of humanity left within arthas once he was the lich king and had killed off nerzhul was the only thing keeping the scourge from going berserk everywhere (according to the lore).
Ok so we understand, lich king armor created by Kil'jaedin was bluprinted by the Jailor, Zorthaal. That also includes Froustmourne, that Muradin was conveniently able to read some how.
So you wish to communicate with the dead? "Tanks quits the instance"
I wish I could use the new models in classic wow. I want the modern graphics but old gameplay if that makes sense.
Perfect sense
THE CHILLS AND THE MEMORIES MAN OMFG IMAGINE IF THESES WERE SOME NEW GRAPHICS FOR WoW. Hope from this trailer WoW revive again.
There's never been as epic of a character in the Warcraft universe as Arthas. They will NEVER top him.
Illidan Stormrage
The love for the source material, call backs to previous xps, perfect shots for each zone that encapsulate everything those zones made players feel the first time we hit Northrend. This was better than any cinematic that blizzard has created since the wotlk intro trailer. Prove me wrong.
I'm glad someone agrees with that. I always remember doing Culling of Stratholme and sitting thinking that the city is plagued and if left alone the plague would spread so the only logical decision is either locking down or purging the entire city to save everyone else. Never understood why every other character thought it was wrong and I think they only did that to make a distinction between good guys vs bad guy cliche.
10:13 Asmon "That was really good, I liked that"
Also Asmon: Ignore the Like button xD
Asmon not getting hurricane is a studio of multiple people is somewhat inocent :D
3:12 Hogger is still alive
I wonder how many easter eggs that video has if any.
Man, imagine if they got him to make a youtube series of the Lich King story that launched the same time or a week before Wrath launch.
New Wow Trilers Are HYPE ... XD
Last time asmon watched this guys trailers didnt he say blizz should just hire this guy?
They skipped most of Frozen Throne story.
He came back -> killed his father -> fought Illidan. In between killing his father and duel with Illidan he went through Sylvanas betrayal (creation of Forsaken faction). Went through entire Northrend weakened. Fought Yog Saron. And only in the End kicked Illidans ass.
Bro this is how I wish the in game Cinematics looked
I love that it actually showed characters leveling up with their gold auras
I think I might actually buy a 1-month subscription for this. The nostalgia is strong.
This trailer has literally made me come back to wow!
If only the game actually looked that good lol
You know what i want for classic +?
Arthus wins and tirion sacrifices his life to save us and escape! Frostmourne doesn’t shatter and ashbringer breaks!
Then continue story from there!
Those great videos. Haven't played since MoP. I've gotta play some Wrath Classic tho!
Gonna be honest, I was kinda expecting another live action sing-along trailer like the ones for the previous classics.
I wonder when Asmon gonna watch Necrit's new league bosses video that would be sick
King Menethil wasn't surprised to see Arthas wearing all black and skulls for an outfit, he just thought his son is finally going through the emo phase in his life
It feels like the video runs like 10% too fast
I want to see everything in the sweeping shots and not be so rushed or have to pause every 2 seconds
Hurricanes got some good instincts
I don't know anything about WOW but I got chills watching this.
Omg saaame
That trailer made me want to play Wrath... i never played wrath...
The best wow trailer since Wrath of the Lich King
I enjoyed classic vanilla and I won't lie it makes me want to play again but i know wrath will die out just as quick as tbc did so there's no point. Maybe if shadowlands hadn't soured my taste for the game and made me quit I would have come back for wrath classic 🤷♂. But it is fun to watch this and remember the fun times I had with my guild and friends back then...... but sadly some things can't be recreated with wrath classic and those guys are one of them 😔. But hopefully ppl who do play it enjoy the experience as many of us did back then!!
This needs to be series!
That makes me want to go back to WoW after 10 years.
WOW IS ALIVE !!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
More work went into this trailer than the actual classic wow development
The dev who disagrees, and said the culling was the wrong decision, doesnt know what he is talking about. Leaving the city alone would cause the undead to fester and spread further. Waiting for the citizens to turn before ending them would cause a huge loss of his own troops, and possibly bolster the scourge further. Plus, there it could also be believed that as a paladin, he believed his people being cursed with undeath would curse their souls. By killing them before they turned he would save them from that
Can we get a movie/series about arthas already? Preferably in the "warbringers" artstyle
