That WoW Cancel Quest sound paired with The Rock Stare from Gromash should be a new viral meme in WoW community.
Dude, did you legit get the VA's from WoD to voice their roles in this machinima? Because it fucking sounds like it!
Also cool video.
Oh nvm.
Ye got a thumbs down for not calling steve blum to voice rexxar.
suprised you didnt mention Fire and Ice at all. aka the animated rotoscope movie they basically nabbed Rexxar from
Rexxar's is among Blizzard's most floundered characters. The fact he didn't show up in Mists of Pandaria to team up with Chen Stormstout, Rokhan, Vol'jin, Thrall and Baine Bloodhoof for Siege of Orgrimmar as a callback to the Siege of Theramore in Warcraft III vexes me till this day. That, and he didn't speak a single word to Rokhan during BfA....
this shows that all the old warcraft writers no longer work at activision blizzard or have absolutely nothing to say anymore and only have say there who have little or no idea of the old or real lore of warcraft.
@@Fuchsfeuer mop was 2013. cool it. old blizzard also had shit writing a lot of the time
@@Fuchsfeuer Lmao this argument is so odd because as the decades roll on people keep saying this same type of argument yet it keeps getting pushed in years lmao.
@@FuchsfeuerLOL. First, yes, brilliant observation that after 20 years most if not all of Blizz’s old writers moved on. Almost like it’s something humans do when they have worked at the same place for over a decade.
Second, many of those writers (Afrasiabi as an example) were very bad people who almost destroyed the company or at a minimum enabled the very bad people to do bad things (Metzen). I don’t care if they wrote The Bible, fuck them.
Third, Blizz’s old writers weren’t perfect. Most of the lore was just massaged $2 ripoffs of LOTR, DnD, and Lovecraft. What you are acting resentfully about now is actually more original writing than we had back in the early days.
It was planned for him to be a part of patch 5.3.0 alongside all of them. But it didn't happen due to time restraints
"Do you think we are stupid??
"Yes."
Simple comedy like this will ALWAYS make me exhale air through my nose sharply
🚀Let’s Talk
I got a s something for you
Reminds me of alarak from StarCraft 2
"Do you think us fools?"
"Yes but that is irrelevant"
Rexxar's "Shut up!" are truly words to live by.
...and to die by....with an axe in the face
Shut up.... :D
Exactly, lol
“Yes!”
I'm kind of disappointed this video wasn't just like 75% him telling people to shut up as violently as possible.
The Rexxar battle strategy.
Step 1: Throw axe at face
Step 2: Yell "Shut up !"
Oh hey they adapted that well to hearthstone.
@@eisgnom7383 Everybody knows, face is the place.
If steps 1 and 2 don’t finish the fight then hit all you summon abilities but that’s the advanced rotation
Step 3 Win.
If the Avengers had Rexxar instead of Thor, Infinity War would have ended differently.
After 20 years, it feels Blizzard never realized how cool they made this character. They didn't delve into him for some reason.
Hes just a 1:1 of darkwolf from Fire and ice
Don’t know what that is and I’d bet a lot of people who like Rexxar also don’t know what that is.
Just because a character archetype has been done in the past doesn’t mean it can’t be told again in a different setting with different details.
Bet you I could find some ancient story from thousands of years ago that’s a 1:1 of Rexxar too.
@@sucraloss its dev confirmed.
That's what Blizzard always did really good at those time. Steal good ideas and make it even better. The Blizzard touch.
It does not exist anymore sadly, but they are getting better again.
In a world with so many characters it's impossible to give every single one the spot light. It's just like in any anime there's people saying how they dropped the ball on this or that character.
He honestly has always felt like a character from a different game that just cameos in Warcraft games from time to time
Another character like, say, Darkwolf from Fire and Ice? He also waltzes into that story, helps the heroes, and disappears without any explanation.
"I hear the call of wild" always stuck with me. Rexxar is old style cool.
Rexxar is in fact based on character Darkwolf from the movie Fire and Ice by Ralph Bakshi
@@MrLolguy93 wow, yea its the same hat/mask thing. didnt know that.
"Shut up" *throws axe at opponents face* always stuck with me, personally.
I hear this sound line like once a week, somehow accompanied with volibear from league of legends ‘embrace the storm’
I have no explanation for this.
🚀Let’s Talk
I got a s something for you
I like how he saw a stranger about to die and he instantly rushed in like "I got you Homie!"
The fact that Rexxar is an aloof wanderer is what makes him great. He's looking out for himself. A self-imposed exile living quietly off the land. He shows up when needed and quietly recedes back to the wilds again once the need has passed.
He's one of the few WC3 characters that have survived the abusive attention of Blizzard's writing teams over the years.
The running joke of Rexxar throwing an axe at anyone who monologues too long is one I didn't know I needed.
I appreciate using the Hearthstone story and voiceacting to give Rexxar more self-narration. Helps add to things.
I was wondering where that was from since i didnt recognize it from wow
I actually didn’t know it was from Hearthstone. I honestly thought it was their actual voice actors collaborating with Platinum at first lmao.
🚀Let’s Talk
I got a s something for you
"Always aim for the face" That pretty much sums up Rexxar gameplay in Hearthstone, doesn't it
Seeing Rexxar walking around in Vanilla was one of the coolest gaming moments I'd ever had - felt like I was standing next to a celebrity or something.
God everytime you release a video it's like a movie just came out man, straight up some of the best most entertaining content on RUclips
It's hilarious how low they set the bar with the official warcraft movie, not that WoW machinima hasn't been among some of the most inspired content for decades now, especially lots of the musical parodies people have made.
i don’t even play WoW and i love this stuff 😭
Chen might have been a joke character but he was a really cool joke character imo, when I had him in my team, I just liked him, I kind of wished there was more of a focus on him in MoP, he honestly should have been the horde representative for Pandareans
You should check out Vol'jin Shadows of the Horde if you liked to listen to/read the wow books. It's one of the better ones and Chen has a good amount of time in the story. At least go look up a summary 👍
@@Squadward I have read that book, it good, I think the human guy, forgot his name has a bigger role then chen. But it doesn't change the fact that Chen was a side story in the MoP campaign instead of the focal point. If they focused mainly on Chen hanging out with rexxar and rokhan, it would be way better.
Also Chen 100% should have been in Vanilla, people who didn't do Rexxar's campaign in WC3 didn't know about Chen, if Chen was in vanilla wondering around with Rexxar there's a better chance for people the understand why people liked Chen and how cool he was as a character, but because they omited Chen until MoP it just gave people the idea of Kung fu pandas.
@@ShadowzdotaIt was because of Kung Fu Panda's success and China as a growing market that MoP was released as it is. It was originally planned that they were Japanese Sengoku Jidai type Panda's. War like, and it would've been better.
It's insane that a huge character like Rexxar has rarely been used in WoW. I'd love to see his storyline progress in the future.
🚀Let’s Talk
I got a s something for you
If he gains more power I could see him as warchief
@@smiley4995 Rexxar warchief rather than that stupid banshee queen? LOL as if, it's current year after all
be careful what you wish for
Rexxar is one of the coolest characters in Warcraft, and is one of the primary characters I think of when I think "Horde". He's served as the inspiration for several characters even in my own writing, and is the basis of a character I created in a tabletop campaign. Thank you for doing this and giving him some justice! I hope he appears in game in a more meaningful sense in the future!
Rexar and warlock fighting, warlock be like, "your pet died." Rexar be like, " call ambulance, call ambulance... But not for me."
the lock failed pvp 101, kill the hunter not the pet. Thats a snack for later
@@Dezkoi the problem is that it was an mm hunter
@@patrickstar1164 no, Rexxar is a survival hunter. He's literally the picture for the spec in-game
🚀Let’s Talk
I got a s something for you
Man, it's such a shame we don't have the Mok'Nathal or Rexxar play a larger role in the story. Really hope they add them one day as a playble Allied Race
Them and the Mogu
eh... the mogu less so. theyre very "pitbully". id rather have the tolvir/saberon or the sethek since warcraft doesnt have any tabaxi or tengu
Rexxar being involved more, yes. Yet ANOTHER Orc race...no.
you spelled tuskarr wrong
@@razvantudor4357 lmao tru
Blizz should have added the Moknathal in BFA instead of the Maghar and add brown orc customization options for regular orcs.
I love the use of actual voice lines so the characters tell their own stories for a change. Best one yet!
The batman of WoW.
He is!
Black Mask from Fire and Ice. Search it. 😉
Rexxar is by far my FAVORITE wow character, he alone is the embodiment of what I seek to be as a BeastTamer. A true Warrior of the wilds, A hero who fights with Incredible Ferocity and Savagery along side his Mighty pets. I even say on occasion without a second thought in my mind "WE FIGHT AS ONE!!" or "BY FANG AND CLAW" in any video game that involves creature catching/taming, its hilariously more prevalent in Pokemon 😂🤣. For the curious I'm a "retired" hunter but dam Rexxar gets me pumped 💪
Agreed, Axe & Pet or Bow & Beast. Those Marksmans are just archers
I really appreciate how these clips almost make WOW into a Saturday Morning cartoon. These are great!
“Yes he did… but who will save yours?”
That was such an awesome line. Never stick around if you’ve just killed a killer’s pet 😂

Man in some weird way I love it when they put the human jokes into those machinimas.
I love that "He some how ended up in Kalimdor"
I like to think he swam there cussing out the Warsong
But I believe he could have befriended a Dragon and flew there on a 1 way trip to get away from the wars
i prefer the dolphin theory
🚀Let’s Talk

You didn't mention how he apparently tamed an army of Thunder Lizards off screen.
“Father did you ambush the orcs?”
“No, I was too busy trying to find the BREASTPLATE STRETCHER!”
Man Wc3 was my Jam Back when I was a Kid. Loved the Founding of Durotar Campaign. Rexxar is a Legend. Seeing him in Vanilla wow was surreal. Back when Warcraft had good story telling.
Please, vanilla had awful story telling.
@@metal_monocle7334 vanilla had story?
@@ProtossOP of course, but it did a shit job of telling it
It's bad what they did to him in WoW, but tbf I'd rather have him untouched in his glory than stained with ass story telling. Sucks that his role in WC3 means nothing in WoW too
Everyone who thinks wow/warcraft has ever had good storytelling is blinded by nostalgia. Its always been hit or miss, and ironically some of the most questionable/worst lore was imo in TBC when they basically made Illidan, Kael and Vashj into your average irredeemable bad guys that had to be put down, which i was super disappointed by because i loved kael and illidan in WC3. Thankfully Legion retconned most of Illidans story and fixed it but not the same could be said for Kael and Vashj.
This is amazing, I have watched it three times and I can't get enough of it. I didn't know Rexxar was such an awesome character!

I loved when Samuro joined and did all those amazing things while being invisible
22:00 Which is why OG players all laugh at Baine.
For such a minor character, I got really attached to Rexxar, and I often felt like all the turmoil the Horde went through in later expansions would be reason for him to return to lead. He certainly deserves to be warchief before Garrosh or Sylvanas.
Easily one of your best videos so far, Plat. That transition into the WC3 Blaze of Glory mission was an absolute masterpiece of editing.
🚀Let’s Talk
I got a s something for you
Rexxar's design is based on Darkwolf from Fire and Ice. Such a great iconic look and character. It's a shame they basically abandoned him.
Personally, as someone who was already drinking age when WoW came out, I am very grateful to these videos. I have forgotten or still do not know, the entire story when it is directly related to World of Warcraft. Seeing them played out like this, condensed and bite-seized, it is much more fun for me to watch. Yay cartoons that teach old people lol But srsly, thank you 🌛💙🌜
Rexxar is what really drew me into the Warcraft lore in Wc3 and he's remained my favorite character through all these years
About Rexxar in kalimdor, Like the Ogres who had built juggernauts to cross the sea, Goblins already had a foot in Kalimdor at that time.
Travelling by Zepellin or with the other Ogres would had been his choice.
Or boat from Booty Bay !!!
YES, THE BEST HALF-OGRE HALF-ORC FINALLY GETS THE ATTENTION HE DESERVES!

Rexxar is truly one of the coolest and badass characters Blizz ever made and he is so fucking underrated by Blizz themself. He deserves more love.

"I will *always* be there when you need me, brother."
*Rexxar died on the way back to his home planet
So, Rexxar was so badass that even tho melee hunter wasnt a thing back then, he still beat a warrior in 1v1 without his pet.
Melee Hunter was indeed a thing back then, it just didn't have a dedicated spec.
Hunters had melee specific abilities and also had a range requirement for their ranged attacks and abilities.
If an enemy was too close to you you were forced to use melee attacks/abilities because your ranged stuff would be unusable.
They actually had a deadzone too, where the enemy would be too far for melee and too close for ranged, making the Hunter unable to attack them. This was pretty important for PvP.
@@arstulex thank you I think no one here played classic and knows about this you should spread the word my brother
Wtf does melee hunter was not a thing back then mean?
@@maxpowers4436 Who plays melee hunter in a raid?Who even plays survival unless it's pvp?Even back in Classic,Survival/Melee spec is overlooked and underdeveloped.
I like to think that Rexxar just caught a very well-off pirate ship in Booty Bay that was headed for Gadgetzan and persuaded the captain to join the crew.
WoW as I know it 2007-2016 just focuses on such a black and white "HORDE VS ALLIANCE" view.
Ahh, Rexxar. I like the guy, but every time I see him I'm reminded that Survival hunters can't dual-wield [in retail].
By the way, Rexxar was voiced by Steve Blum in WC3 (also, Metzen didn't voice Zul'jin; at least not in TBC)
Rexxars campaign in Warcraft 3 cemented my love for Warcraft as a whole when I was a kid, and pretty much started my World of Warcraft journey (Hunter for life 💪)
I only wish we could have more of a focus on him as a character instead of just him being used as a plot device for other stories..
Just one slight correction, Rexxar is voiced by the amazingly talented Steve Blum in Warcraft 3

A character blizz forgot. Lucky guy
Budget clearly gone up, this shit is awesome man, the editing, the ambient and sound design are incredible, and also your voice acting improved a lot (before anyone says it, I recognize it's not all your voice, but your parts are great also). Love to see it
Rexxar is my favorite character and i actually hope that he one day he becomes warchief because i think he might be a great leader and this was an amazing video probably my favorite just because its about rexxar
Rexxar's story even helped influence my own character's story back in the day. I had i that my Troll was a survivor of Admiral Proudmoor's assault on the Echo Isles, rescued by Rexxar's group during the attack.
A minor part granted, but still nice.
What makes this more funny is, when they were making the Hunter Trees Rexxar wasn't even the first choice for the Survival background art. (Was some Troll lady, idk if they're named)
You did amazing with the editing. You took long but worth watching.

Thank you so much for posting. I can't get enough of your content!
I love the recurring characters of the human joke-tellers who are always laughing.
Rexxar is just a type of character you can not hate. His story was my favourite in WC3. I hope they will bring him back in Dragonflight.
"SHUT UP" throws axe. Never have i seen such a master negotiator. 👏👏
Rexxar and Zek’han are also featured in the Exploring Azeroth: Kalimdor book. Not much information, but minor interesting tidbits :).
Knowing Rexxar, he probably befriended a dolphin.
Throws an axe at someone's face and then tells them to shut up, brilliant.
Main universe Blackhand does have an ingame model (but not unique) - he is found in Karazahan at chess event
What an amazing video, loved it, make more, you make the Lore so much more interesting. Fyi: when I got to 13:30 the editing with Misha, the bear, I died of laughter, so good :)))
Amazing quality, really impressive stuff. Both animations, VA and script is just lovely. Love it mate.
Rexxar's bonus campaign is the first thing i ever played in warcraft and that is what made me fall in love with the game and horde :) For the horde!
Rexxar was always interesting to me, he was so unique and was one of the highlights during my horde playthrough of BFA
And of course you always are such a great storyteller so getting this video makes me so happy
Ahh finally Plat back with another video. Was getting worried there for a bit.
I remembered being so excited when I first saw Rexxar in Outland! I loved playing as him in Warcraft 3 and it was like meeting an old friend again after so many years!
What an incredible video, Plat! Thank you for making these, they’re such highlights of my day whenever they come out!
I rewatched the naga axe to the face scene like 10 times expecting it to be the only such scene, it was hilarious. But no, Platinum went above and beyond and added more and more and more. Great work.
Outstanding! This is how you tell a story.
Great vid, love the subtle reference of Rexxar throwing his axe cuz he used to have a thunderbolt spell before the eagle summon.
"Taste the steel of Mogrin's axe!"
I love how the Hearthstone retelling of Rexxar's story used that exact line from Warcraft 3. There's just something so novel about the existence of Mogrin.
Back in Warcraft 3, it was rare for very minor characters to even have names. And when they do, they are typically quest-givers for optional quests that don't add much to the main plot of the campaigns and aren't even referenced at all in WoW or other Warcraft-related media.
Mogrin is kinda special. He was introduced in a cutscene, and died in that same cutscene. And he is just some grunt. He isn't like the other named non-hero units in the game like Captain Falric (who was only named in the campaign in Reforged), or Nazgrel, or Shandris who were important figures in their factions. He is just a low-ranking member of the Horde. And yet, he gets to have a name. And he technically was the catalyst for the entire story of the Bonus Campaign to be set in motion. And the way Rexxar treated Mogrin in his final moments is just a great way to portray what kind of guy Rexxar is because for most people, the opening cutscene of the Bonus Campaign is their first encounter with Rexxar so the writers had to give a good introduction to that campaign's protagonist.
Top notch voice acting!! This is what Blizzard needs. A return to old-fashioned storytelling
The voicing is amazing, sooo fukin good
Well yeah, Rexxar's voiced by Matt Mercer. He's amazing!
@@saikanji9570 It really sounds like Matt's Rexxar here though haha. Did they get him to say these lines for the vid? Are they from something else where he did say these lines? It was very well done regardless.
Hahah what? This type of comment is so blizzare. The voice lines are from Rexxar book of heroes playthrough...... from the game Hearthstone and the dialogue Platanium voice is from a Warcraft book aka its literally blizzard old fashioned story telling. You types always get cheap shots in even when you are wrong.
@@montgomerym5407 No its from a game. Hearthstone to be exact.
I teared up when he killed his wolf. God damnit. That wolf is the real mvp
My headcanon is that Rexxar Shrek's son, transported to another dimension by some magic.
When I think about the warcraft universe, Rexxar is the one that pops into my head immediately, he feels like the embodiment of it. Always cool to see him when leveling. My fav character.
I love how you always find a way to slide in those ridiculous human /silly lines lmao
Both a curse and a blessing Blizzard hasn't focused on Rexxar for all these years
Thank you so much! This is my favorite warcraft character in all of the lore. The whole reason I play hunter is because of this legend. It's awesome to see a in-depth lore video on him. You rock!
This has to be by far my favorite lore video of yours, especialy since Rexxar's one of my fav character's in the Worldcraft universe. Keep it up the good work my guy
One of my best heroes of HotS. If you ignore how many dead Misha it took me to get there.

love it. Rexxar is my favorite character from wc3 and i remember playing is misions .then in wow i play an orc hunter for him as well as hearthstone ,there he get the joke of always aiming to the head, as face is the place.
@10:40 Rexxar is such a cool character that I am more than willing to accept the idea that he simply swam across the ocean.
Rexxar is the reason my Mag'har Survival Hunter (who I off spec as both beast and Marksman whenever the mood arises) Is the way he is now... For the Horde and the Iron that makes up its bonds!
Did somebody mention Rexxar?
Came here looking for your comment
Rexxar is my favourite character, just because of his theme music during warcraft 3... favourite music, still plays in the escape from durnholde dungeon
You have no idea how much this made my day. It literally made me feel like a kid again watching Saturday morning cartoons, thanks again.
You should cover queen azshara
Her VA is perfect
Rexxar got to Kalimdor by taming two dolphins and riding them like waterskies.
I just cant belive the good art you are achieving on these vids.
Just thank you from the bottom of my heart.
So nice to see you upload again, been watching ever since the flavors of vanilla videos. Keep it up man!
Big correction here: Metzen did not voice Rexxar in Warcraft 3, Steve Blum did (he also did Anub'arak).
Rexxar is my favorite WoW character. We both love animals and nature and live by the motto "Don't start none, won't be none" 🤣
I'm that one guy that's always played a melee hunter 😁
Hope your holidays were good, glad to see another great vid about orcs being orcs!
