The Worgen starter scenario was so good

Love the way Greymane always yells "SYLVANAS!". Like I bet when he stubs his toe he yells it just because.

Remember when Greymane told Anduin about the great battle at Icecrown Citadel? Remember how he wasn't even there?

Awww you totally missed the perfect oportunity to adapt the joke where you spy on the Horde meeting. And Garrosh orders Sylvanas to not use any more Blight, she agrees, and the moment he's out the door she turns around and orders her troops to deploy even more Blight, that was comedy gold.

This channel is the best WoW has to offer. Your love of the game is obvious and your sense of humor captures the best that the game has to offer. And these videos keep getting better.

worgen intro questline summed up " and then it got worse"

I never really thought about the forsaken attacking gilneas as lorderon civillians, just adding more reasons for gilneas being the best starting zone for lore

I'm 95% sure Platinum selectively picked this sponsor as an ultimate burn once Asmon comes back to streaming and reacting

I am sorry but Liam's speech has no right to be that good

if only I could catch the worgen curse, I would never have to worry about hair loss again

Part of me was really thinking at the end something was gonna happen like "And now the Worgen live peacefully with the night elfs.....right?" and then show Teldrasil burning xD.

Just like Horus Lupercal, Garrosh Helscream turned evil due to male-pattern baldness.

"Hello, how are you? I'm under the water. Please help me"

The fact that we never received a war front on Gilneas during BfA, the perfect opportunity for the worgen to attempt to reclaim their home and secure the Eastern Kingdoms almost entirely for the Alliance only shows how useless and time-wasting that expansion was.

Afterward Genn was so hung up on his son, he completely neglected his daughter so she became an assassin and tried to become a Worgen to get his attention.

I personally feel Greymane is one of the best written characters in WoW at the moment. In this series, it seems like most characters can either be at one of two ends of the spectrum. Either they keep making mistakes that pile up until they've turned into a full-on villain, or they rarely make mistakes and only small ones at that, eventually becoming a paragon of virtue. In this world that's become increasingly black and white, Greymane has been allowed to make a lot of awful mistakes and still learn and grow from them, becoming a better king and a better person than he was before. Back during the alliance of Lordaeron he eventually pulled out from a mixture of looking out for only his own people and his own pride. When the Worgen attacked his people outside the wall due to his own order to summon them, he did not open the gates and risk bringing the infected inside. He then took to going out in hunting parties for Worgen where he was bit himself, and he also fought a civil war within his own kingdom just because an old friend sent some Gilnean troops to assist the Alliance. All of this led to his kingdom falling and succumbing to the Worgen curse and the Forsaken. But now we've seen him become better. In Wolfheart, when Varian was overcome with his anger and mocked Greymane, mercilessly insulting him and throwing the blame of Gilneas' fall squarely on his shoulders, he did not bite back. He accepted it, and even accepted Varian's initial ruling that the Gilneans would not be accepted back into the Alliance. He accepted the blame. In Before the Storm we saw him overcome his blind hatred of all Forsaken and focus it instead squarely on Sylvanas, recognizing that they were their own people and had made their own mistakes. In Legion, we saw him act strategically and destroy an item of great value to Sylvanas to disrupt her plans rather than trying to outright kill her, clearly keeping his anger in check. And in Battle for Azeroth, when the Night Elves needed help the Alliance couldn't provide, we saw Genn stand by their side and pledge Gilneas to their effort, even stating that they would gladly focus on helping the Night Elves rather than retaking their own kingdom. And he also assisted greatly with unifying Kul Tiras, even calling back to his own mistakes by saying that he would teach them the lesson he had to learn the hard way so many years ago. We've seen him change so much over the years and become a new father figure for Anduin in the wake of Varian's death. And I just think it's so great to see this consistent arc play out when other characters have been...inconsistent at best.

"we will return my son..." And they never did! *Curb your enthusiasm starts playing*

16:27 = You gotta admit, Lliam Greymane had one MF awesome speech. This is why the Worgen are one of my favorite race :)

I still pray we some day see Gilneas rebuilt and turned into a social hub. It's got some of the most enjoyable atmosphere and aesthetics in the entire game. It's a shame to see it destroyed and untouched for over 10 years

Honestly, considering the constant stream of bad luck, I respect the Worgen for surviving this long.

The incompetency doesn't end there either. He messed up multiple times in Legion, and stood their like a baffoon when Anduin was kidnapped right in front of him.

Man, Liam just casually shaving his beard off and undoing his ponytail during the Battle for Gilneas.

After the fall of Gilneas it’s just a series of unfortunate events

This vid brought back some unexpected nostalgia feelings. I still remember when my mom took me to the store and bought me cataclysm and the moment i started a Worgen and quested through Gilneas. Such an amazing feeling honestly, i feel like Revendreth tried to be Gilneas-ish but it doesn't have nearly the same charm as Gilneas did when it released and we got to experience it. God i wish i revert time just to experience it like new again!

16:26 That war speech is fucking POWERFULLY delivered and beautifully shot, by far the best part of the video.

You forgot to mention the 20 minute wait for the gryphon section of the battle. But still, this made me want to make yet ANOTHER worgen just to do the quest line... that music... it still gives me chills

Sylvanas: "We will meet a-Genn" Me: lol

2:19 "Oi, you! You got a LOICENCE for being outside?" *gets pwned by a worgen*

RIP the Gilnean's second home got burned down with the night elves, I just realized.

"Gilneas will prevail...."

8:42 i almost died from laughing on this, great job.

Her: "You didn't even cry while watching titanic" Him: 18:35

It's amazing that this entire story is just the worgen starting zone, this is truly the best starting zone in the game.

RIP Liam Greymane, prince of Gilneas.

Liam's speech at the Battle for Gilneas gave me chills.

If this outro music were played at the end of a movie in a cinema, I'd stay at my chair till I fall asleep. I really enjoyed those two parts. It was better than watching Netflix. Honestly. For Gilneas!

Azeroth, a world, where plate armor can be enchanted, to be light enough, that you can swim in it... where the blood of an old god is used as an material to build a fortress, armor and weapons... but just wearing clothes, that are 1-2 sizes bigger than your usual size, so it fits, once you transform (and maybe use a durable material) is just too much to imagine :) .. funny video as usual

Dude, I got so worried about your radio silence. I started to wonder what happened to one of my favorite wow machinima makers. I have to admit that I have not played wow for years and the game itself does not interest me anymore, but I always enjoy watching your productions! Keep it up!

Liams Speech is lowkey one of the best things i heared in wow period. If someone gave that Speech IRL i would run in Head first with no Hessitation whatsoever

The Worgen flashback about the garbage human jokes was golden

18:17 HE SAID THE THING, HE SAID THE THING!

"How does a Tauren hide in a cherry tree? He paints his hooves red!" - Literally, would have saved me. Dad jokes are 10/10, the purest form of humor.

The worgen starting zone is one of the examples of blizzard story question done right, to this day i still just run through that quest chain just to do the story and then delete the character around lvl 13

This is definitely for Asmon; especially the sponsor

"We did it father... we took back our city!.. we... took... back..." "My lord, horde reinforcements are coming quickly, we need to retreat!" I'm not crying, you're crying!

I just came across a thought... if the abandoned part of the kingdome paid the taxes before the wall's construction... technically Genn built a wall and made them pay for it

20:07 I feel like the start of that boat ride was like: "hey can you change into human form your kinda taking up a lot of space" "do you... have any spare pants?"

11:00 - Wow. The leaders of Azeroth REALLY hate taking any sort of real responsibility for their actions or their people’s actions. Malfurion: “Shove ‘em in the Emerald Dream. Not my problem, anymore!”

These videos are soooo good! I'm not normally interested in these types of videos, but you do such a great job at story-telling while adding your own spin and humor on things! Such a great mix. Keep up the amazing work!

When Greymane shouts "SYLVANAS!!!" It reminds me a lot of Guts screaming "GRIFFITH!!!"

Keep doing this kind of content man so many don't know the lore of wow bcuz they don't read quests and this really helps bring it under the light....love your content

Platinum Wow is the best WoW channel atm with a good balance of information and humor.

Wonderful video! And the music makes me so nostalgic. Makes me wanna replay the Worgen starting zone with a new character.

Let's not forget the true gem in Genn's hat, attacking the Horde fleet at Stormheim during the middle of a demonic invasion.

I appreciate your sense for the pathos. The comedy is good, but acting out the emotions these characters are going through and conveying how important this history is for these fictional characters is why your Forest Troll video and this series are some of my favorites. You put real work in, and it shows, and it's worth it.

Liams Speech, the music, the battle.... Just Perfect!

When Greymane goes to the fridge at night to get a slice of leftover pizza and the box is empty, he yells “Sylvanas!”

And so: the quest to Build Furtopia begins

I loved this too much man... this makes me wish there was a WOW cinematic universe where we can watch every epic WOW story unfold just the way you show it in your vids.. Too amazing for words.

You did a great job covering the story of the gilneans and the worgen curse. I played that start zone once to see the lore and quests, but seeing the story layed out in a cohesive video like this is much better. Thank you! Also i have to mention that the Ashenvale theme which plays at the end is one of the best songs in WOW.

16:30 Top tier speech

Man that sponsor was such a dis without mentioning our malding savior.

This sponsor was directed to asmon and I know it lmfao

Best starter zone and beast race ever.

really good model rigging in this one, most people dont even know how much fucking work that is great job

as a big troll and worgen fan, i feel personally targetted by platinumWoW

15:34 not even gonna lie, i never even noticed he jumped off the cliff, so seeing the scene played straight like this makes it even funnier.

This is so accurate in terms of what the forsaken is willing to throw at you vs. you never see anything of these when you're a forsaken yourself, just two ghouls and 2 abominations roaming the city. But when you're an enemy to them even for a horde player? MAN, you'll see mecha giant undead Elvis Presley hitting you with a legendary banjo.

I am a taciturn man when it comes to KZfaq comments; however, I cannot help but type at this moment. Your videos are the most entertaining I have seen on the topic of WoW lore; if I were not a pauper, I would fully support you on Patreon. Keep up the good work!

It really sucks there wasnt a battle for Gilneas in BFA. I would of prefered that 100% over the old gods

15:45 I remember way back when, that Godfrey had a death animation when he landed on the rocks. I don't know why they got rid of it and changed it to a fade out lmfao

Fun fact: Varian Wrynn, though obviously not a Worgen, was guided through the rituals of taming the beast and afterwards unlocked the connection he had to Goldrinn (that the orcs saw when they first saw him fight as Lo'Gosh) and for a time had access to Goldrinn's strength, speed, and ferocity without having to change into a Worgen form. It wasn't permanent but he did retain some of that (kinda like how in DBZ Battle of the Gods Goku's body got used to Super Saiyan God form and he could still keep up with Beerus even when his time ran out.)

kudos to you for almost making me tear up for some characters from a game i've never played.

The only place in the world where I give a hoot about the lore is this one here, Platinum. Thank you so much for making this kind of evenings Into an aged well wine 🍷

Some serious effort here! I loved it even though I don't even play WoW.

Absolutely compelling dialogue, bravo.

So, we gonna get a part three about how Genn incidentally attacked Sylvanas and the horde during the Legion's invasion and would've been the technical spark and justification of the Fourth War in his bloodlust?

the mald lord will have a nice surprise when he returns with this sponsor

One of my favorite elements of Cataclysm leveling is the fact that the story of Silverpine Forest takes place during the forsaken assault in the worgen starting zone. I love seeing that kind of parity in story telling

I'll be honest, it is way too funny to hear the first line of the sponsorship spot 'Are you balding?' and then immediately skip to chapter one with the worgen attacking. Cure balding now with our patented werewolf curse!

As the great lord Doge would say. The incompetence of his incompetence is so incompetent. Such wow....

Well done as always, Platinum WoW! Despite this being a well mockery at times of what Genn has done you did also a really fantastic job of showing just some epic moments with the character and the lore. Excited to see this carry forward in the future!

"Hello, How are you? I am under de water. Plz help me" gotta love it. lol

If Blizz decideds to redeem Sylvanas I can just picture it. Genn: SYLVANAS! Sylvanas: What? Genn: Sorry force of habit. TYRANDE!

if cata was released in 2021, people would be complaining that they were trying to redeem genn greymane

Ok Liam you gave a badass speech

These are so good! So much work and passion put in. We're lucky to have channels like these.

Recently made a worgen alt because i felt like it. When the line "We will return, I swear it." I was like annnnnd then you never did. Some fatherly love you have there...

I have such a soft spot in my heart for this crusty starting zone. Liam's speech always gets me too. Seeing it all again lowkey makes me miss the game. Shame that starting zone itself is starting to fall apart mechanically.

I know there’s a certain someone who would want that sponsor.

That can't be the end! You haven't yet covered how this GENIUS declares the 4th war on the horde FOR NO REASON, in the middle of a freaking LEGION INVASION! This dofus not only almost got the entire world wiped out, but the war HE STARTED, got Teldrassil burned, most of the world devastated, AND gave the jailer All the souls he could wish for. And then stood around going "durrrr" while anduin got kidnapped. Truly a great king

I forgot how good that speech was!

Whenever asmon reacts to this... Well, come on, we all know why plat did the sponsor he did.

That ad seems made for Asmon lol

i love these so much, platinum keep up the amazing combat, i love that you dont do huge click bait with arrows and stuff

I love the worgen so much, their history and lore and the fact that they’re wolf men brings me so much joy

Have you seen the gilneas rp kings? Greymane is a god compared to them

Remember when Sylvanas was forced by Garrosh to attack Gilneas but then it was retconned to make Sylvanas look more evil? Cringe.

I love the soundtrack for Gilneas, one of my favorites
