Thnx for the shoutout. Loved the reactions. I tried to keep it so you could easily follow the story along the expansions with the intro's you already reacted to. These were scenes before sylvanas fought and killed saurfang but sylvanas was usually the more sketchy type then anything until she became warchief and turned full evil. That is why she stayed one of the leaders within the horde for so long even though they didnt really trust her much.
I missed a cutscene of jaina after the last one where she returns home and confronts her mother by asking her mother to help the alliance but had a hard time finding that one. I hope you get to watch that one, its really good as well. also ofcourse all the cutscenes during shadowlands and dragonflight but thats due to the fact that you watched intro's till shadowlands so i tried to respect that.
There are way more cutscenes tbh which mostly point to like sidestories that more or less have to do with the main storyline like Ulduar in the wrath of the lich king and yogg'saron, an old god and final boss of ulduar, or the whole suramar story during legion and many more. But i'll leave that to you.
Regarding your question of how they are trusting Sylvanus. You have to remember these cinematics are in game between the other cinematics so this is long before she killed Saurfang in that duel.
It's Sylvanas. Dunno where you people get the Sylvanus from. Sylvanus is a Roman god of nature. Could be a typo but I read it way too often.
@@raydafuq3570 Or Dungeons & Dragons maybe, Sylvanus is a deity too
Varian's sword(s) is actually a really cool story. They're ancient elven swords, originally wielded by twin brothers, then lost to history.
Later in the warcraft story (around the time of the original World of Warcraft) Varian Wyrnn, king of Stormwind, was captured by a corrupted dragon posing as a human noble. The dragon's magic split Varian into two people.
Eventually, the twin elven swords were found by Jaina Proudmoore. She then found Varian and gave one sword to each version of him.
When Varian was recombined to a single person, the swords merged with each other as well.
Varian continued to wield the sword, and had the power to split them at will. No one else was ever able to split them, until Saurfang did in his duel with Sylvannas.
Shalamayne
The Broken Shore cinematic where Varian dies - there's actually a second one (mostly the same, but told from the Alliance perspective. And from their eyes, not knowing the reason why the Horde suddenly withdrew, it looked to them like the Horde had just stabbed them in the back.
they basically ruined Sylvanas's character by turning her evil. Then in shadowlands they make up some sort of dumb plot to justify everything she did.
YOU gotta do a part 2 of this, MY favorites are missing!😭
(seriously tho, there are more cutscenes from more recent expansions, they should be piled up in a video like this)
Sorry to ask but can you tell me the ones missing from this ill be sure to react to them!
@@Drusenju Hey man, you missed ALOT that playlist contained nowhere near the right ammount of cinematics that this game has and maybe that's why you don't understand the story that well. I could give you a playlist with all ingame cinematics if you would like
If it cheers you up a bit. Zappy boy from the cinematics and Vol'Jin is not the same character. Zappy boys name is Zekhan and he still lives. Also, the planet/world is the one called Azeroth.
Illidan is not evil exactly, he's chaotic good/neutral.
In the first cine, that is the son of the Orc you seen in the BFA Cinematics.
No cataclysm's end is when we destroyed Deathwing ,the corrupted Earth Warder. The Dragon Aspects used all of their boosted power to help us defeat Deathwing. Without that power, the relinquished the protection of Azeroth to the mortals whom had showed them that they were no long the young races in need of protection, but infact the true protectors of Azeroth.
That was Mak'gora between Garrosh (Red dude) and Thrall (green dude, or was we cll him sometimes. Green Jesus) Garrosh turned the Horde Orc Nazi organization. Where only true Horde were Orcs, and the other races better get inline or be crushed. Garrosh even dropped a mana bomb on an alliance city. Think of the mana bomb as Nuclear bomb. This drove Jaina Proudmoore, the leader of that city and one of if not the most powerful Mage on Azeroth insane. She found out that the sunreavers, a horde partition of the Kirin tor had a hand in making the bomb, and she purged her city of Dalaran, the home of the Kirin tor of sunreavers. Pretty much either teleported them into prison, or out right obliterated them if they resisted her.
She was going to flood Orgrimmar with the use of water elementals and drown every last man woman and child in there, but was talked down, as we decided to storm the city, which lead to the Cinematic where Saurafang goes one on one with Sylvannas.
In this fight between Garrosh and Thrall. Garrosh was Thrall's protege. He tried to teach him how to be honorable, and respectful, and not to follow in Garrosh's father's steps, whom doomed the horde to legion control, but instead of learning form that Garrosh fell to his own darkside, and gave into the Old Gods and tried to destroy everything.
Illidan Stormrage was a Nightelf born with golden eyes, this was thought tomake him the child of prophecy. The child that would become a man of Light and destroy the Legion. At first he trained to be a druid like his older brother Malfurion Stormrage. But Cenarius, a being of the Emerald Dream that trained Malfurion. Decided that Illidian was too head strong and power hungry. So he left his training to Malfurion. Illidan saw this as a betrayal. That he should learn from the Master, not Malfurion. So he left. and went off to Blackrook Hold, and learned the Arcane Arts from the people there. he was a prodigy with Magic. He attain such a high level of power and control so fast it was unheard of. However, when the Legion attacked, he had to use a forbidden magic to draw the life out of the mages around him to power himself.
He stopped the legion, but at the cost of many lives. He was kicked out/left them. He then decided to become a double agent, and accepted power from the demons. In accepting this power it burned out his golden eyes and replaced them with those fel green eyes. 'But his sight was only enhanced, as he could see through the shadows and see what was hidden form normal sight.
He continued on his quest for power, but he only ever wanted power so he could stop the Legion, in doing this he ended up eating the skull of Guldan, a previous version of Guldan and absorbed his power and knowledge of the Legion. Transforming him into the half Nightelf/half demon you see now. He tried to use this power and a ritual to destory Northrend to stop the Lich King, but in doing so he almost caused another Sundering of the world. So he was stopped. He was caught and imprisoned for 10,000 years. When the legend attacked again.
He helped his brother find Tyrande, Malfurion's girlfriend at the time, and this was tough, because Illidan loved her as well, but she only had eyes for Malfurion. He was going to be reimprisoned, but with Tyrande speaking up for him. Malfurion banished him from Azeroth, and so he fled to Outland where he created his own kingdom there, and created his Illadari. Or Demon hunters.
Yes, we saw him as a bad guy, but he's always been more of an Anti-hero. Willing to do things to stop the Legion that good guys were not.
I dunno who made the compilation of videos, but they missed some important ones.
Illidan declining the 'Gift' brings me life!
The Lich King you see in the first cinematic is not the same one that is in the last cinematic. That Lich King is the human standing in front of him lol Reason why he looks burnt when she takes of the helmet is because of the dragons fire.
You were right to be creeped out by the glowing chandelier. For most of the game, we knew Illidan as a villain, but all of the atrocities he committed, all the morally grey stuff, and the good stuff, were all for the singular purpose of saving our planet from demons. He is not really a villain, but he never pretended to be a good person, and the idea of the Light simply washing over him and "redeeming" him in exchange for his servitude would be not only an insult to everything he stands for, but an insult to the lives he sacrificed to get this far. He doesn't want to be seen as a hero, because he knows the title is too good for him. He also hates the idea of a prophesized "chosen one" saving the day, because he doesn't believe in destiny.
the thing is with WoW, watching just the Cinematics, leaves so much context scattered to the wind. you learn about the world and it's characters in great detail, as you play the base game and all the DLCs that come afterward. so what you get here is a mere taste of the game at large.
so the "main game" ended almost 20 years ago lol, the "DLC" are the continuation of the game story chronologically, and these are all in order and take place alongside the main cinematics you saw at various points
Like the ones with Sylvanas the evil (and hot) undead elf lady who plague-bombed her own city? Those aren't her being forgiven and turning bad again those take place before she kills the old orc soldier and runs off to fight the new lich king
There are some more that I think would be cool to watch, the character shorts called "warbringers" (especially warbringers sylvanas and warbringers Jaina), "lords of war", maybe "harbingers" too. They're a different style from both these and the main cinematics but they're really cool and sort of work on their own I dont think they need the story context a lot of these in game cinematics do to be impactful
Ive been thinking about checking out the warbringer cinematics i think ill react to those next!
It's SO hard to watch this because it seems like you're just not aware that the in-game cutscenes are layered in with the full CG stuff you were watching before. So it's kind of like a trip we're on. Sylvanas doesn't "flip-flop" as much as I think the way the media is making you think she does, because you're watching the videos in order.
Then just don’t watch brother 😭 have a good one
@@Drusenju I'm sorry if I came off a bit mean in that comment. It is still really entertaining to watch.
@@CarnageTheory it’s ok 👌 I appreciate it
For the topic of who is evil:
It depends on the view. There are to main factions: Horde and Alliacne. And even within these factions
And there is an enormously large part on both sides, which will only be satisfied with the full extermination of one or all races on the other side. Genocide has been planned and tried several times from both sides. But the alliance were the first ones wo tried it (with the orcs). It was attempted so often in Warcraft's history that each side can justify the next genocide with the previous attempt from the other side (however, a lot can only be found in the history books/novels).
In addition, there is always(!) a bigger evil that everyone has to fight. Sometimes both sides each for themselves, sometimes together, then both sides against each other, then together again.
And as you can see, the factions are anything but some and the same applies to the players.
17:16 Garrosh did nothing wrong! Just remember that line mate.
You gotta remember the cinematics you've watched before are expansion trailers and this is the story that takes place in-between each expansion. This includes mostly ending cinematics and not all others which are needed to get most of the story. World of Warcraft started with Warcraft which was an RTS series which ended in Warcraft 3. World of Warcraft continues the story from the RTS games in an MMORPG format. This story is running for 30 years now and has also multiple novels about it. I'll try to explain which cinematics in this video correspond to which expansion and explain a bit what is going on.
The first CGI trailer you saw was for original World of Warcraft (WoW Vanilla). The second trailer was the Burning Crusade (TBC) and it was the first expansion and neither of them had in-game cinematics besides patch trailers which are mostly edited game footage up until Wrath of the Lich King that got released on RUclips from Blizzard but became full blown in-Game cinematics later. They are also worth watching for understanding the story and turn in awesome trailers later in the expansions and some of them are shown here but not all.
Nevertheless did Vanilla and TBC introduce important characters for years to come. At this point Thrall (green Orc) and Varian Wrynn (two-sword dude and father of blonde dude) where for the most part Warchief of the Horde and King of the Alliance respectively. There is A LOT of story I won't get into because I wanna keep it kinda simple.
0:35 The Wrath Gate was the first In-Game cinematic ever and this was Wrath of the Lich King (WotLK) which was the second expansion (but the third CGI trailer with the blue dragon) and here Arthas was the Lich King. In the Wrath Gate we see how Bolvar Fordragon (known from questing in original WoW and TBC) and Dranosh Saurfang (also known from TBC and the son of Varok Saurfang which starred and died in the Battle for Azeroth trailers) died against the Lich King.
5:05 The Fall of the Lich King cinematic was the end cinematic for WotLK and the father ("no king rules for ever my son") is the one who spoke in the CGI cinematic ("whispered the name... Arthas..."). It turned out that both Dranosh and Bolvar got raised into Undeath by Arthas who tried to turn them to his side. This worked with Dranosh and we as players killed him for good (if you looked at the Old Soldier cinematic which was missing from your last video Varok is holding his dead son while crying out in pain).
Bolvar didn't get turned but he couldn't return to his life he had before which is why he wanted to be crowned the next Lich King to be the Jailer of the damned ("there must always be... a Lich King"). So Bolvar and not Arthas was the Lich King that got defeated by Sylvanas in the Shadowlands CGI trailer.
8:56 is the ending cinematic for Cataclysm where you saw the big fiery dragon (Neltharion / Deathwing) in the CGI trailer which was the one destroying the world with floods and earthquakes. There were no other in-game cinematics for Cataclysm and the story was told in the patch trailers which I highly recommend you watch. This was also the time when Garrosh Hellscream (the brown Orc who got electrocuted in this video) became Warchief of the Horde. Garrosh who was also known through TBC and WotLK questing where he became a competent and adored general of the Horde despite his recklessness. This was soon about to change though because being Warchief and being left with the problems of Thrall was too much for him.
10:33 was the ending for Mists of Pandaria (MoP) for Horde where Thrall made Vol'jin Warchief. This is after Garrosh became a literally insane warmonger during Cataclysm and MoP and had to be defeated. There was a cinematic missing from the start of the MoP expansion which showed what happened when the Alliance and Horde brought their war to Pandaria, which is all about balance and harmony. After Garrosh was brought to Pandaria and put on trial for his countless war crimes he escaped with some help which leads through timetravel shenanigans into the next expansion.
13:23 is the end cinematic for Warlords of Draenor (WoD) which was the CGI trailer in the last video where it said 35 years ago because of said time travel shenanigans which I won't elaborate. This cinematic actually takes place after the one at 15:58 so they're reversed in the video you watched which makes it more confusing. Garrosh dies BEFORE Gul'Dan summons the blue giant with Hooves. And yes there is a fight and the blue giant dies that's why it cuts to him dying. Gul'Dan gets pulled through the green portal ("You made a PACT") to serve his "Devils" further which leads into the next expansion which is Legion. WoD is also when Blizzard started to make a cinematic for the end of each quest zone and all of them except one are missing.
18:27 is a teaser for Legion that showed what Gul'Dan is up to - he had to revive the end boss from WAY BACK in the Burning Crusade for his masters. To reach his body a huge invasion took place to make it possible for him to reach the body of Illidan (TBC endboss) and get him out of the crystal he was imprisoned in. This invasion was countered by Alliance and Horde in the Legion CGI trailer but this didn't end so well as you've seen in the next in-game cinematic.
19:38 is the start of Legion for the Horde. It shows how both leaders Varian Wrynn and Vol'jin ultimately find their end at the hands of the Legion. This means Alliance and Horde need a new King and Warchief respectively. Anduin Wrynn (blonde dude), son of Varian Wrynn becomes the new King and Sylvanas is named Warchief by a dying Vol'jin which is what you see at 23:53. As it turns out later the "Spirits" Vol'jin heard that told him to make Sylvanas Warchief weren't his Spirits at all but he was tricked by another power to make her Warchief.
26:30 is how Anduin Wrynn seeks out where Varian died and gaining the strength and determination to be the next King of the Alliance. Some cinematics are Alliance and Horde specific which also means a lot is missing. Again all the in-game cinematics at the end of each questing zone are missing.
29:10 is a flashback of the point of view of Illidan at the end of TBC while we the players where the ones attacking his fortress. He sent his Demon Hunters (a new playable class added in Legion) to fulfill an important mission. So the next in-game cinematics are from the POV of the Demon Hunter class if you decide to play one.
32:30 is the demise of Gul'dan after his plan to use Illidan as a vessel for his master backfired. This leads to the final chapter of the Legion expansion where you literally go to the planet of the Legion to fight them. That's why the Demon Hunters were send back to get the Sargerite Keystone all those years ago. Also important cinematics are missing here.
33:46 is the end of a quest line where you gather pieces to revive the entity. But the forces this thing belongs too are kind of zealots for the Light which is like a religion but actually a Cosmic Force and there are 6 Cosmic Forces. Too much to go into right now it's enough to know there are multiple pantheons of gods fighting over our planet for millenia.
37:27 is the ending cinematic of Legion where an ancient enemy was defeated after a conflict of over 10 000 years. We fight him since all the way back to the start of Warcraft RTS games.
40:28 is the starting cinematic for the Alliance from Battle for Azeroth (BfA). They found a special ressource which got produced as soon as the big sword hit the planet. It's the blood of the planet.
43:18 is what happens after the CGI trailer for BfA while the battle for Lordaeron is still taking place. This is the stuff that happened before Varok Saurfang got captured by Anduin Wrynn. Again many things from other media are missing for context.
44:36 is after Saurfang got defeated and captured by the Alliance but this is the cinematic for the Horde side.
48:14 this is some random in-game cinhematic after a questline in the middle of BfA with again so much missing that it's not coherent at all.
So all in all you missed a lot of context in between these cutscenes. If you REALLY wanna get most of what is going on you need to first watch a CGI trailer of an expansion, then the starting in-game cinematics for both sides if there isn't just one for both, all the end of zone cinematics, then all the patch trailers, end of raid cinematics and then the ending cinematic. There are also other animation formats from Blizzard for most expansions starting with MoP with Burdens of Shaohao, WoD had the Warlords series, Legion had Harbingers, BfA had Warbringers.
There is also tons of stuff to watch for Shadowlands, Dragonflight, and the most recent expansion that will be coming out is the War Within. So yeah the story and universe is huge and extremely expanded and if you wanna know EVERYTHING it turns literally into a study more than anything.
Thanks for reading this huge comment took me about 3 hours to write. Have a good one everybody.
Well just WOW thanks for this comment dude! I think i was kind of confused because i thought these took place after the cinematic in the last video i did
@@Drusenju I hope it's clearer now. The story all in all is very good but kind of tricky to access completely because it's so much and so split up. But as long as you follow through the media of each expansion separately you should have a pretty good idea.
Illidan is literally the ultimate good guy
Erm no. His goals are good, but his ways are pure evil. And he goes this way because of pure hate for his brother who got the love from the woman Illidan wanted.
So, some comments as we go (bare with me this is all off memory, may be some slight details off):
First cinematic - The guy who dropped the plague works for sylvanas, thats not his name. The plan was to take out both sides there. (The scourge, which are the lich kings undead he controls, and the living). Also, the red dragons didnt show up to destroy everything, the fire was to purify the plague. Notice the green clouds are gone afterwards. The side effect, obviously, is things got burnt up.
Second one - Arthas the lich king dies, Bolvar (guy who looked like he died in the first one in the plague, and was purified by the flame) takes arthas place as the lich king. There has to be a lich king, because otherwise the mindless scourge will run rampant across the world.
Third cinematic - HUGE time jump, the group talking to the orcs are the dragon aspects, and this was after defeating Deathwing (the huge fire dragon you saw for cataclysm), not anything to do with the lich king. Its from the next expansion.
Fourth - another giant time jump to the end of the next expansion, the arrest of garrosh hellscream who was warchief of the horde at the time. Voljin, the troll who led the rebellion, becomes warchief.
Next cinematic - another time jump, though, this one is even more confusing. The expansion with the portal being opened by the orc guldan all takes place in an alternate timeline, which is very hard to explain without the background. The demon lord archimonde dying and guldan getting yeeted into the portal is also in the alternate timeline. (Will edit this comment and add more later lol)
Arthas father has a monologe explaining why there must always be a lich king. Druisenju: But why?
lmao
Watching right now. I'm really enjoing when Non-Players react to WoW Cinematics and In Game Cinematics :D
Glad your enjoying the video! It means a lot
Always interesting to watch new players react to cinematics. The WoW storyline can be extremely convoluted for people just coming on. A lot of it relies upon familiarity and understanding. Take for example the Antorus ending cinematic (which itself was the Legion ending cinematic) which starts around 37:30. This particular cinematic was the culmination of nearly twenty years of storytelling. The character of Sargeras was introduced in Warcraft 2 as a Daemonlord, but was only actually mentioned in the manual for the game and never seen. Warcraft 3 introduced the Burning Legion, an interplanetary/interdimensional army of demons whose defeat marks the end of that game, but who reappear in the expansion pack and Sargeras was described as the leader of the Legion. Sargeras is not seen in either game, but was present (in a way, he was possessing someone) in a tie-in novel called the Last Guardian released in 2002. Between Warcraft 2 and Warcraft 3, Sargeras was upgraded by the authors from being a mere Demon Lord to being a Titan. You see some of the other Titans in the same ending cinematic and the idea is that they are the Gods of the physical universe, creators and shapers of worlds. Sargeras is a Titan who went bad, and decided to launch a 'burning crusade' to scour the cosmos of all life (he had his reasons), which is why he enslaved the demons of the universe into his burning legion to complete the task (it was what they were minded to do anyway). The Burning Legion popped up in World of Warcraft classic, they were the main villain in the World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade expansion (again, no Sargeras to be seen) and they were constantly referenced throughout the Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm and Mists of Pandaria expansions. Warlords of Draenor concluded with them coming back as antagonists in a big way (still no Sargeras) and we had the full blown third invasion of the Legion in the Legion expansion (the first was in ancient times, the second was during Warcraft 3. There was an attempt to start an invasion at the end of the Burning Crusade expansion but it failed before it began). The Antorus ending cinematic is narratively huge because it marks the first on screen appearance of Sargeras in the franchise after twenty years of teasing him and it also marks the effective end of the Burning Legion as antagonists and the end of their burning crusade (as the lead Titan says, madly important for long term players), which they had been for some fifteen years. You get the most bang for your buck out of that one the longer you have been playing the games.
the cinematics are awsome but there are a ton of ingame cinematics too and ofc we trusted sylvanas before she went to go working for the jailer! she went nuts and shes just horrible at times
she betrayed us all when she did that and now shes gone making a mence for all she did'¨
I will say there's alot of missing context due to in game cutscenes that have been left out for some reason. I would specifically watch videos for Warlords of Draenor, Battle for azeroth in game cinematics and then Shadowlands and Dragonflight because there's at least 2 whole expansions missing from this video.
Check out the 3 cinematics in the Warbringers series. Two of them are about the formation of Jaina and Silvana.
Will do!
noooo dude you didn't see all the coolest game cinematics on Warlords of Draenor D:
No worries I’ll be reacting to more
In the scene where Bolvar is given the Lich King's helm he was the guy who was leading the Alliance and was dodging the green mist for a while. The red dragons can use their flames for killing or healing and he was sorta healed but it left him with that red burning going on and he just sat on the throne and kept the undead from running wild. The dragon scene came after they fought the big dragon in Cataclysm, all the dragons can turn into another shape the red haired woman talking is the queen of the dragons that flew in first in the Dragonflight cinematic. Vol'jin was not the troll who came up to Saurfang that is another one (nicknamed Zappy Boi). Thrall the green orc who is in a lot of scenes and carries a hammer is a great pacifist but also a great fighter, sort of weird for that universe. The scene where Sylvanas sees the troll Warchief struck down and calls a retreat, from teh Alliance side it looks like she just pulls out when both sides are fighting the Legion together. This was just after Gul'dan's scene where he goes and steals Illidan (winged demon like) from where he is imprisoned in green stuff. AS others told you the Sylvanas / Vol'jin scene is from before BFA, this is still in the Legion fight. Genn is a werewolf you started off seeing him in wolf form and he later is around in human form in armor. Anduin was trained as a priest and has visions easily. Ilidan is the demon guy, he was an elf once and is related to several of the main elfs, they imprisoned him when he took the green stuff and turned demon. But he had an insane plan to destroy the demons from the inside. The elves call Ilidan the betrayer but he's mostly a very neat insane guy. The sort of chandelier is Xera a Naaru a very powerful being of light, but she's following a prophecy, and in warcraft everyone seems to get the prophecies wrong. Jaina has been around for a long time, she was betrothed to Arthas way back but couldn't stand what he did and left, she has become a super powerful mage. Jaina's brother was killed in battle and Sylvanas raised him as undead to use him, but then Baine rescued him. Back when, the Alliance rejected all the free-willed undead who broke free from the Lich King, including Sylvanas, so she gathered them up (the Forsaken) and took them to the Horde. With Derek and some others the Alliance has started to have undead characters (but not player characters). It is more complicated than Game of Thrones.
I think you got a little confused about the timeline of all the cinematics and some of the characters. Apart from this, it’s nearly impossible to understand the whole story just from watching cinematics/trailers.
I’m gonna try to give you a little insight though.
Thrall (the green orc with the black hair) was the initial warchief of the horde.
When the Cataclysm happened (3rd expansion) he gave up the position in order to take care of the world itself and made Garrosh Hellscream the new warchief.
In the Pandaria-expansion Garrosh had taken it too far, so the Alliance, some of the Horde and the Pandaren had to stop him. He was imprisoned in Pandaria and Thrall made Voljin the new warchief.
When Voljin died when fighting against the Legion (Legion expansion) Sylvanas became warchief.
At the same time Varian, the Alliance King dies and his son Anduin took over.
Sylvanas went mad and destroyed Teldrassil (where the night-elves live). That’s why the Alliance came to fight her at Lordaeron (which was human territory before it became home to the Forsaken, which were lead by Sylvanas). Many parts of the Horde also didn’t like what Sylvanas did and turned against her (like Saurfang, the Orc from the many Battle for Azeroth trailers).
During the fight at Lordaeron Saurfang was caught by the Alliance (now led by Anduin) and when Anduin finds out that Saurfang wants to fight Sylvanas they group up.
Saurfang also convinces Thrall and they and most part of the old Horde show up at the gates of Orgrimmar (capital city of the Horde and home of the Orcs) now controlled by Sylvanas and those still loyal to her.
When Saurfang and Sylvana’s fight she says ‘’the Horde is nothing’’. That’s the moment those who were still loyal to her realize she doesn’t give a shit about them. Saurfang is killed by her and she flies off to the sky, while those who used to trust her, now open the doors, so Saurfang’s body can be taken home and the Horde is reunited again.
That’s roughly the story, shown in the cinematics you watched first. The ingame-cinematics in this video show some more info somewhere along the way. So everything you see about Sylvanas is her before she kills Saurfang.
In general there’s no good or bad side in WoW and Sylvanas hasn’t been bad to begin with.
She once was a highelf and ranger-general of Silvermoon (where the bloodelves live). During an invasion from the Scourge led by Arthas Menethil (the Lich King) she died, like many others. While the others were turned into undead, Arthas turned her into a banshee. She was kind of made to lead his army of undead.
At some point the Lich Kings control weakened and she was able to break free and reclaim her body. Then she gathered other renegade undead and formed the Forsaken with herself as their Queen, which later became part of the Horde.
Illidan's story is quite a ride, and will take abit of time to learn/ understand there are a few lore videos that can summarize it. I will say though he is one of my personal favorite characters in the franchise, his goals are ultimately "good", but he is the type that will do ANYTHING necessary to achieve them which ends up making him seem evil/ bad. All in all he is far less of a villain than the "Banshee Queen" Slyvanas, but he isn't a hero nor does he claim to be.
Please keep these coming!
Will do 👌
You should react to the patch cinematics they’re so good
Good idea I’ll do that soon 👌
What’s up again dude remember me the comment on the Jax is a npc how are you doing
I’m doing good 👍
As for me Thhrall will always be the real Warchief ---FOR THE HORDE!!!!!
Sylvanas was a tragic hero before Blizzard decided to crap on 10 years of lore and make her into a mustache twirling villain for no good reason
The stuff with Sylvanas and the Horde hapenned many years before she went evil (as you saw in the cinematics)
Nothing evil in that what she did. Everything was necessary to protect the existence of all life. Without her, the Jailor had already destroyed the existence itself.
@@Sc4v3r yeah yeah go sniff some more sylvanas-fanboy-drugs
"I dont know whos right." Well, garrosh did nothing wrong.
If you think Jaina is powerful watch her warbringers video for some backstory. Infact, watch all the warbringers videos.
ill check them out!
Because Vol'jin isn't the guy in the cinematic and this happened years before Sylvanas cheated in the mak'gora.
Yeah i got a little bit confused with the timeline there i thought this was after Lol

Really hope you also react to the Shadowland cutscenes!
And the Warbringer trailer🥺
I gotchu 😉
who ever gave you this info gave you the worst cutscene cause a lot are missing
why du people never check out whats when before doing these -.-
What does this mean?
There is No clear evil or good, No Blacks and Whites in this game. They all and even the Light are grey
Garrosh did nothing wrong!
It's not the Ice King... it's the Lich King. He was shown as a king in the Wrath of the Lich King trailer. It doesn'T make any sence if he is anyone else as the named Lich King. 🤦♂
I already knew he was the lich king i just made the same reference i did in episode 1 saying it reminded me on adventure time!
@@Drusenju Ok, then it didn't come over. Because at 3:21 you ask if the one on the cliff is the Lich.
Don't try to make sense of the story from what you have here, this isn't even close to all the in-game cutscenes. You're missing hours of context from the omitted scenes, the cinematics, and the gameplay. If you are interested in the story I'd recommend looking up a full story explained video.
You miss too many cinematics
Feel free to tell me all the ones I missed please make sure your taking account to my part one as well

this is the best video I could find
it includes cutscenes from Warcraft 3, cutscenes that you already watched in the first part and some that you missed. many of them deserve your attention.
but this video does not include cutscenes from the battle for azeroth and shadowlands.
It would be great to see reactions to the compilations in the next video: Lords of War, Harbingers, Warbringers, and Afterlives
also here is an interesting video of a brief history of the lore at the time the video was created

good luck to you and your channel!
And sorry for my google translate English)
Bro, you missed like 80% of cinematics, when you watch it like this it makes no sense..
If you would like you can make an accurate playlist for me 👍 but I do not know anything about the game so it’s hard for me to tell
@@Drusenju for sure, can you pm me?
You are so often so wrong... no way to correct this.
It’s almost as if this is my first time watching
So one thing to kind of note, the way you speak about DLC/Main Line there isn’t really a distinction. The Main Line story continuously builds each expansion. They interweave.
If you do a compilation video of the animated intros (I requested Warbringers Azshara) but I should mention there are several of them and all of them provide good backstory!
Burdens of Shaohao - Prelude, Doubt, Despair, Fear, Anger, The Sundering
Lords of War - Kargath, Grommash, Durotan, Kilrogg, Maraad
Harbingers - Gul’dan, Khadgar, Illidan
Warbringers - Jaina, Sylvannas, Azshara
Afterlives - Bastion, Maldraxxus, Ardenweald, Revendreth
Legacies - 1, 2, 3
Yeah I think watching these, and the others in a jumbled order, as someone who knows nothing about warcraft, will only cause confusion
