The flags during Kilrogg's vision are incredibly important, so are the armies & who they're made of. Because of this he *knows* until he sees these flags. He will *not* die. He can do anything. Do keep in mind, at that point in time, the Horde didn't exist, the Alliance on another planet not connected yet. Humans do not exist to Orcs nor Orcs to Humans at that point in time.

Fun fact, last man standing winner of the ogre arena in WOD expansion you received a "Lord of War" title. I have it on 3 of my characters. One being my main Orc Warrior ;)

You should react to the ingame cinematic from Legion called: Rejection of the Gift. Probably if not the best ingame cinematic in my opinion.

It is weird to see ogres in Warcraf to be shown via flashbacks they once had a flourishing civilization long ago that had the orcs as a slave race, basically, comparing them to now, kind if jarring seeing they degenerated into almost mindless brutes

I've been really enjoying these video Philip! Your perspective and enthusiasm is always on point.

20:21 someone kinda pointed it out already in live chat, but his face is literally getting swallowed by the wolf visage, by the savage monster, just as the narration says, underlined by the fact that the contrast makes the wolf outline appear black, just like the black fur of the garn-wolves. 28:40 wow, i dont think i ever noticed the flags. this made me also look at the sound files from his boss fight and there is on line, when we enter his arena, where he says "you look familiar", the whole time i though this was about the brief time we encountered him at the beginning of the expansion, but he might recognize the player character(s) from his death vision. 32:15 one of the "unspeakable horrors" maraad mentions isnt even touched upon. the cutscene implies a normal siege, but gul'dan unleashed essentially a biological weapon, the red pox, upon the city that would kill thousands of draenei and crippled any that werent so lucky. the "Broken" faction of the draenei still exists to this day, some of them little more than animals. "luckily" prophet velen foresaw that shattrath was doomed and so most civilians fled to safety and only defenders -i.e. draenei military- remained in the city, sacrificing themselves to make the orcs believe they won a total victory.

The other fellow in the beginning of the first cinematic is Maraad. A very powerful Draenei Paladin.

you might recognise Maarad from the Burning Crusade trailer. he has a pretty interesting arc through WoD which is dope because the Draenei were kinda being neglected in-story. this also paves the way for Velen's arc through to the end of Legion. looking forward to your BFA cinematic review. the music alone ...

There are so many interesting videos for you to see between the main cinematics, like these ones, so here's some recommendations (for when you get there) Burdens of Shaohao (Relating to Mist's of Pandaria - Similar to Lords of War) If you are curious as to the fate of Gul'dan, there is a video called "WoW Legion Nighthold Ending" - Where you can see what happens to Anduin's father Varian, and Gul'dan For Battle for Azeroth, there is a video compilation of all the rendered cinematics on KZfaq called "Varok Saurfang's Mak'gora" that plays all four story cinematics in the right order Off the top of my head, these are the most epic "side" cinematics. If you like, I can look a bit more into it to see if there are any gems I forgot. Keep up the amazing reactions, your expertise in your field really shines through, as well as your interest in the content. Very entertaining to watch.

Vindicator Maraad, the blue tentacle space goat paladin narrator of the last short I think is confirmed to be the same one from the Burning Crusade trailer

i don't know if you noticed but in the cave with the chiefs skulls they all had notches in their eyes sockets where they took their eyes and on the old chieftains face he also had a scar too.

I can't wait for REJECTION OF THE GIFT!

I’d love for you to react to the in game cinematics and trailers for the patches eventually, there is quite a bit of story in them related to whatever part of the story they come from (or what patch their for)

Ask and you shall receive. Looking forward to this series.

I've been catching up on your World of Warcraft reacts. Amazing stuff! I've played WoW for nearly 20 years, and I have to say, you should review the Battle for Azeroth trailer! Not the best expansion in the game, but since you've seen the latest version of Anduin (the human from The War Within trailer) you can see what he once was. Very emotional and powerful. Keep it up!!

So just a note incase you were not aware yet, thrall (the orc from the war within cinimatic) is Durotans son❤. And despite alot of nay sayers i absolutely loved warlords of dreanor its Honestly in my top three faves.

Maarad's part remains my favorite. I love a good revenge, even better when it goes like that. He get's part of it (kill a few demon possesed orcs), but then betrays the people that depended on him for survival. Now how is he ever gonna live with himself?

Kargath was like the first fight of the first raid......he was really hyped up.......but i dont think they did him justice

I honestly admired the Orcs in these cinematics for their bravery and resolve; only Maraad did ‘the wrong thing’! Did you pick up that their specific art and colours are reminiscent of Frazetta barbarians?

Maraad: "King Varian." Philip: Love it.

Can’t wait for your reaction to the Battle for Azeroth “BFA” cinematic… it truly is one of the best, if not the best cinematics in WoW’s history.

You might've heard this a 1000 times, but you gotta check out the Burdens of Shaohao series for Mists of Pandaria, It's in the same art style as these and warbringers and tells a complete contained story about pandaria!

Nooo! What happened with Harbringers?? You're still missing Illidan! D:D:D:D:

This is insane…..

is cinematic in game, when Marade s....e himself for us (players) u need to see that is bloody awsome

Wow... seeing this again and knowing what comes after... Maraad must be spinning cartwheels right now. (trying to be spoiler free here)

Warbringers Iliidan now!!!

You need to watch warlord of draenor inside-game cinematic r so epic

One thing to note is King Varian, didn't know his father chose to sacrifice his life to halt the invasion. He never knew the truth

Ogres and Orcs are 2 diffrent monsters but they are related they come from the same family and same anstor but evolution kicked in what made the orcs evole was a certain type of flower the made orcs and a magical flower that made ogres. but what is unfortunate is orcs and Ogres do not see peace ogres seen orcs as the weakest to be as slaves there are races of different types of ogres and orcs but the war still continues

Drek'thar was of the frostwolfs. no wonder.

Draenor is a savage, primal world, with no worldsoul (unlike Azeroth), and was ruled for eons by the Evergrowth, vast sentient jungles. The Titan Aggramar found this world and decided that letting the plants overrun everything on it was not acceptable, so he created Grond in his image, a massive elemental of earth and metal, to combat it. Grond fought the Sporemounds that were the mind behind the Evergrowth, and killed two of them before falling to the last. The energies released from their deaths allowed the elementals to gain power, and also created progressively smaller and more numerous versions of each. Grond's death led to the rise of the Magnaron, who in turn saw the gronn rule the land, with the ogron and ogres descending from them and being ruled by them, until the ogres rose up against their masters and created their own Empire, the Gorian Empire. The orcs which descended from the ogres were conquered by the new Empire and kept as slaves, and the greatest fighters were made into gladiators for their amusement. The orcs eventually rose up against their masters, and now only a small remnant of the vast Empire exists in the form of Highmaul, a stronghold in Nagrand. The other ogres, no longer part of this unifying kingdom, further devolved into the stupid brutes we know today, living in scattered ogre mounds and bashing anything that gets near. The original Horde recruited several Ogre tribes to fight for them, and Gul'dan used his fel magic to mutate some into two-headed Ogre-Magi, somewhat smarter than their single-headed brethren, but wont to argue with themselves :P The orc uprising is led by several of these new Warlords, most notably Kargath Bladefist and Grommash Hellscream, with aid from Blackhand the Destroyer whose fortress had not fallen despite repeated ogre attacks. Other Warlords of the Iron Horde we get to meet later are Kil'rogg Deadeye, Ner'zhul, and Gul'dan (leader of his own Stormreaver clan), and the Draenei who oppose them such as Vindicator Maraad, Exarch Akama (who we know from WC3 and BC), and Yrel, whose journey we follow from acolyte, to vindicator, to exarch. Durotan, the father of Thrall, led his clan far to the north to escape the ogres, and kept his clan separate from the others, and thus never joined the Iron Horde (which we have to help defend him and his people from in WoD). WoD was great in that it introduced the new Garrison mechanic where you could build up your own stronghold, decide which buildings to put where that offered different services and abilities, and send soldiers and recruits on missions to gain resources and bonuses. For us oldschool RTS players, it was a very fun thing to have (but then Blizzard really, REALLY overused the mission table mechanic all the way up to BfA when I stopped playing).

Part 3 was the saddest

Oh. Why we don´t get the Missing one of the Harbingers? Harbingers - Illidan is still missing in the List :D YOU are NOT prepared!

Bravo.

Fun fact: Your favorite Key Frame was sold for over $2k for charity

Kil'rogg's is my favorite there. Face their oppressors in jungle.

Shattered Hand clan so goood.

WoD as an expansion had some fantasic ideas, but ultimately was a bit meh.... BUT the cinematics were incredible

if Thrall is considered ''Green Jesus'' is Durotan then ''Brown God''?

Cmon do the Burdens already 🎉🎉🎉😊

It's sad to see, but Maraad is a good guy, just the bucket was overflowing and each person with emotions can say they had some feelings like that...

As much as i hated wod as an expansion, i cant deny how hype this was. Where did this writing go? We had brutal bad guys with cool backstories and messed up heroes who would do anything to make things right and now we have dragons who speak so slowly it feels like slow motion and are even afraid to say the word "kill". I miss the brutal side of wow, it really feels like a kids version now.

Damn, he didn't watch Gul'dan's here.

do a cosplay of Varian, you guys look alike

his mothers wolf**

My Clan's name in WOW is "shattered Heart" (ShatteredHeart) for all the homies who got cheated on by the devil (women). I got my inspiration from this cinematic.
