Next series is gonna be Christie Golden's Rise of the Horde starting 23/03/21. And I think it's gonna end up being part of a larger project where I do almost a 'Phase One' of a Buttress Warcraft Cinematic Universe. So... The Last Guardian, Tides of Darkness, etc. It'll take time but I think it'll be worth it. See ya next week!
The Jaina Proudmoore one? It'll be a while before I get to that one. But there's some pretty sad moments in Rise of the Horde. Unless you hate the Draenei... in which case... it's not that sad.
This channel is so underrated. Why don't you have more subs? People are missing out. I found you because Hiru mentioned you, but I've stuck around ever since.
I don't mind tbh. It's probably cos I'm fairly quiet. Don't self promote. Don't have much of a social media presence. That sort of thing. Or it might be the Butt. Or my voice. Or my jokes. Could be anything. lol.
I know this is two years old. But the I’ve basically listened to all your Supercuts at this point they’re amazing. And are now my canon for the wow universe I will accept nothing less.
@@FlyingButtress For sure you're definitely working hard to make this scooby doo/Where in the World of Warcraft Is Carmen Sandiego? episode extremely enjoyable. Horde: " Hey I know you just experience the tree version of 9/11. But we've been trying really hard to recruit these trolls for seemingly no reason. And we already defeated space Satan in legion and have no serious competitors at the moment. That would warrant us needing reinforcements at the cost of pissing off another super power. But were trying really hard to keep these trolls from getting gently knocked over by a handful of cultists. While also trying to juggle this new invention we had called democracy." Alliance: " Since you asked so nicely we're giving you two days." Zappy Boi: : "I Could use my magic to attack the enemy. How ever I could jump into a pit full of tar and get set on fire by the enemy. " ( The move was calculated but man am I bad at math ) Troll Queen: "Wait there's undead in our nation??!" Bob Salami: Shakes his head " I'm not very helpful right now and probably getting fired for this." cuts to black with white text " Bob keeps his job." Alliance scouts rush in: " Turalyon! Slyanas has been spotted in Northrend!!" Turalyon putting on light forged shades: " So you're telling me her trail has gone .. cold?!" YEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
“His name wasn’t Jarech. No one’s name’s Jarech.” The random things that you throw in there crack me up. This is a great channel, thank you for sharing and putting your personal touches on these stories.
Dude thank you so much for bringing this books into colour and animations and models and backgrounds and music and voices. You basically animated a manga. Thank you so much. I would have never gotten that story otherwise. Loved your Dawn of the Aspects too!! Thank God I didnt have to read that one.
@@sensapipe Yeah, I was listening to it and I could actually pinpoint exact spots in the dialogue that seemed written for a 'modern' audience, i.e., one that cares less about good storytelling and more about checking boxes. An entire chapter was dedicated to how the BBEG can't have children, but that doesn't bother her because she's a strong independent troll. Likewise, earlier in the story said troll equates marriage to slavery. Having opinions on these things isn't inherently bad, but having to shoehorn in these views smacks of modern storytelling, which just clashes with the idea of having this big, bloody, brutal conflict between fantasy kingdoms and creatures.
Thank you, Flying Buttress. It would take too long to explain why I’m thanking you, or to explain why listening to this gives me catharsis and comfort, and why I’ve been in so much pain. Instead, I’m just going to say “thank you”. Youve been a big, big help.
By far my favorite WoW lore/novel channel. Almost wish he had every known source of literature from WoW and other series as well. Keep up the awesome job!
I could say so much... I'll go with great work, I am really enjoying these stories. And that Bwon Samdi was the greatest addition to Warcraft since a very long time.
Thx for hearting a comment on a 3 year old video 😁 you do very well, pls try not to stop. Saw you like most on Hiru's channel, but I have literally no idea why you have not achieved recognition in somewhat the same level.
absolutely top notch entertainment sir, thank you so much for your hard work, I love these films and your wit, and yes you are criminally underrated and underappreciated, and I hope that changes soon
I've watched many hours of lore from you FlyingButtress but somehow the "buh buh buhbubuh.. WHEEY!" at 2:33:25 is my favorite part :P Keep up the good work!
i usually listen the supercuts as audio background so seeing zekhan's mummyfied body made me laugh my ass off at work. i thank you for that. love the series :)
Love your work, mate! I've watched these super cuts sooooo many times! Im addicted to your humor! I would never read these books on my own and these videos are so damned entertaining!! I thank you for your time and effort, you're amazing!
I love how Zappy Boi became a thing, I fully believe if the community didn't take to him or name him then he would have been a throw away character. Thank you for everything you do making these videos, found you through Hiru channel and I am so glad, been meaning to read these books but not enough time haha
These are amazing for me! I just found you, and been binging your stuff. I can not thank you enough for your humor, and for reading these out loud. I have drug induced ADD these days. I have to take pain meds for my pains, and my reading ability went from a 10+ to a 2. So these have been fantastic. Thank you so very much!!
Im a new fan, and ABSOLUTELY have been binge watching your stuff… you, sir, are amazing!! I love it. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve cackled watching!! Love it!!❤
30:56 “I WANTED TO FINISH THE STORY” I have laughed at this for years continuously. That and “Itsjustwinehaventyoueverheardofwinethatsmellslikedeathbefore?!?”
i love your series and really appreciate all the work you do for us fan! i'll be keeping up with rise of the horde now that i watched all the super cuts:)
Defo a lot of effort and work goes in your videos, i came across your channel exedentaly and watched 4hours and 30 min in one sitting. Glad i came across your channel
A true love for a franchies, means you are wiling to poke fun at it. Things always have their weird ways of working out, and the stories of WoW are no such exception. I love when I can sit and understand something like this so much Im willing to chuckle at a few things from it here an there. It really is why I like WoW soo much over other stories. It is fun, it is serious, and takes its own shortcomings with great strides. And I love all of the side stories.
Most of the lore after wotlk is them telling you what happened before wotlk. Blizzard abandoned the lore after tbc let's be honest. Arthas isn't even the lich king lol
Coming in just to say I really appreciate your humor. The one line that finally got me to comment was it made speedy gongsalez look like regular gongsalez. Well done
Vary cool compilations of all your vids mate, look on the bright side of (un)life, soon Shadowlands will be but a distant memory :) that will have forgotten faster then that time Garona had s child with Mediv!
Wait is post-legion turalyon and alleria part of the regular ol alliance now? Aren't they super time gods of light and void now more or less? I've missed a few (8) expansions
Yeah we found them on Argus during Legion and brought them back to Azeroth. Turalyon was actually put in charge of the Alliance last expansion due to Anduin being yeeted off to the Shadowlands. Which is defo a good idea. Put the man who's entire worldview is 22 years out of date in charge.
I'd be lying if i said it wasn't tedious at times but overall - Yeah. I like writing and 'trying to' voice act and editing. Sometimes I get a bit stressed out over self-imposed deadlines or a particular chapter being a bit poo but overall... I enjoy it.
@@FlyingButtress It shows, the child angrily saying "I WANT HIM TO FINISH THE STORY" felt so unnecessary that it had to have come from desire for the joy of a better project rather than the desire of relieve that a project is finally finished and behind
@@SmolShippie Didnt help that this particular project was the first (and thankfully only) time I started getting weird comments from people that didn't like the author very much. Cos of Tweets.
@Flying Buttress Some human beings find it difficult to tell the difference between a person and their work, unfortunate that you had to take a share of that burden of their ignorance but if there is anything we learnt from "Rise of the Horde" it is that with enough passion common sense can be completely disregarded.
Some people have issues of getting fewer views than they have subscribers. Some channels, like this, have trouble getting as many subscribers as they have views
I love these videos. I don't know if you'll ever see this comment, but I hope you understand that they mean the world to me. I learn a lot more about my favorite WoW characters and I listen to these until I fall asleep.
Oh yeah. So much hatred for wow. Pfft. Serious. UUGGGHHH Your story telling is so much fun! I'm enjoying the stories so much! Dawn of Dragons is still the best though. But ya know... hard to beat dragons.
40:25 since when can homosexual weddings be happening in a medieval fantasy settings of houses of nobles that require heirs and determine their successor by firstborn? This sounds like ticking boxes to sell books to agenda people.. especially since it never before happened in the story of warcraft. However if it could be brought in somewhere then a society in which we know not much about like the Zandalari. It would open room for them having a different approach towards the whole thing. However if you implement such box ticking you would also need to implement all other boxes that make such a development possible.. general education, individualism, rights and laws that make people equal. Societal and technological advancement in general.. if not.. its just pathetic ticking of boxes.. and bad writing..
I dunno, man. I don't know if the historical, real-world rules apply in the fictional universe of Warcraft. To a certain extent; it's whatever Blizzard and the authors decide. I honestly doubt there's anything in canon or in-game that specifically says 'no homosexual weddings'. The thing is though - even if it was 100% just 'box-ticking' or 'pandering' or whatever. Does it matter? In the grand scheme of things; does a group being pandered to affect anyone elses life in the slightest? lol.
@@FlyingButtress If it causes the quality of the story to go downhill yes. And in my experience that is what is happening to 90% of stories. If there was some background story of how Zandalari nobles have a tradition or a different system of marriage and inheritance and adopting orphans that could've made for some good story and explanation. Or maybe even that's just always been the way of the Zandalari.. But here you just get the gay checkbox and no further elaboration whatsoever. It just all of a sudden happens. In this stories case it has no real impact on the story. Neither good nor bad and the writer is clearly good enough. But it still feels cheap. And you're very wrong about pandering not affecting anyone elses life.
@@ViewTube_Emperor_of_Mankind Fair enough. I agree in situations where that's the entire point / personality of the character it can seem a bit unnecessary. Although I do think theres a bit of nuance - sexuality does become a more important part of a persons life when theyve spent years having to hide it, for example. In terms of my point about 'pandering not affecting anyone elses life'... I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I just find it a very trivial thing to get worked up about. But also - I just kinda wanna make fun videos about wow lore. lol. I'm not actually that interested in having these kind of conversations but, full disclosure, I'm a lefty. I do agree with things like representation and supporting marginalised groups and stuff.
@@FlyingButtress I fully agree and am of the same mind: "I do agree with things like representation and supporting marginalised groups and stuff." But it has to be done right. And things like celebrating being different or rubbing it in everyones face.. like what is currently so popular are the wrong way to handle/deal with it. Less talking about it. Just accept it the way it is and call anybody out and punish anybody who violates their rights. Your videos are fun and I like watching them. I dunno it was just something that went through my head and I think thats what the comment section is for.
Blizzard is notorious for creating poor couples. It is SJW infested so pandering when it is not necessary is absolutely expected. The Lore went to shit as well. If you want believable world building check Japanese and Central European games. They don't have Leftist infection.
I love all the stuff you have done, this is entertaining as well, but this shouldn't be considered Warcraft lore/story, nothing past WotLK should be considered lore. Warcraft died with WotLK.
Next series is gonna be Christie Golden's Rise of the Horde starting 23/03/21. And I think it's gonna end up being part of a larger project where I do almost a 'Phase One' of a Buttress Warcraft Cinematic Universe. So...

I LOVE. Genn Greymane being treated like a dog "Genn bowed to Jaina on his way out but was pretty bloody excited about where Mathias was!"
Love this. Thank you for bringing some comedic effect, haven't even gotten 1/4 of the story and I've already giggled a few times. ❤
