The quality of your videos has risen to insane heights, Platinum. I've been a fan of yours for a while and watching your videos is always an amazing experience. Thank you for your hard work. Can't wait to see what you produce next!
Ok. So I opened the video, and I always scroll down to see the comments as it plays, I see yours. Now I wish I hadn't. My day is ruined, and my fear has turned into horror.
Channel Update Hi. The WoW/Blizzard community has been shook for the past couple of weeks. People have asked what my plan is going forward. I am a person who is very passionate about the art of storytelling/filmmaking and machinima is a great way to explore this hobby that *no* other game can replicate. In WoW I have a giant world and thousands of assets that I can use as my canvas to tell stories that I care a lot about and quite frankly, that is badass. I also feel like a lot of WoW’s stories have not been told in a satisfying, straight forward manner and I want to give these stories the justice they deserve because I think they are phenomenal. I’m here to tell the lore in the Warcraft Universe that screams “Warcraft” and that isn’t changing. I’ve attached a fundraiser to this video for the RAINN charity which helps victims of sexual assault. This charity was recommended to me by the Blizzard employees who organized the #ActiBlizzWalkout . I will be personally donating $500 and the goal is $2,500. If you share proof that you sent a $10+ donation to me on Twitter I will put your name at the end of the next lore video. 100% of the proceeds goes to the organization so throw in a few dollars to help create a positive change. Thank you for your support and patience. TL;DR ua-cam.com/video/lF7M0FISH5Y/v-deo.html EDIT - I changed the title of this video. You didn't notice 🤫 - For clarification, a lot of these events don't line up with the "Rise of the Horde" novel because parts of it are retconned in the Chronicle books.
Thank you for continuing to put out high quality WoW content. There’s a lot of negativity in the community right now (much of which is justified) but it’s nice to have an escape from that for people like me who still find the game, its worlds, and its stories, inspiring and entertaining.
@@bradleyberdan1390 Agree. Not every apple is rotten in the Blizzard tree. Hopefuly, the bad ones are being remove as we type, and the game will keep on rocking :)
I refuse to let awful predators ruin the stories I enjoy. I can't personally justify giving Blizzard my money for now, but I'll sure as hell keep supporting creators like yourself :) thank you for the videos.
The Mag'har Orc questline is honestly one of the best pre-unlock allied race quest chains. Sure the expansion sucked but this was an interesting bit of lore and informs us that no, it wasn't a happily ever after, I was kinda hoping we would see Grom come to the main timeline but unfortunately not, he and alternate Lantresor defended the Mag'har while they escaped. It's also pretty interesting that you get a book at the end of the quest chain that mentions Grom had a son which means there's now an alternate Garrosh.
I'm not really interested in playing WoW (especially not these days), but I'm a sucker for good lore videos and Plat's vids are one of, if not the best
@@quchi7232 may sound weird, but Destiny has actually good lore. Its all a bit mystical, but pretty nice nonetheless. A lot of tragedy, not everyone you fight is just evil etc
@@quchi7232 The Elder Scrolls have great lore, in a setting that is not exactly child friendly. Also, it has actual werewolves and vampires (along with other monsters, races and dieties).
Platinum please include the culling of the Arakkoa from the Spires of Arak in the next video, it gives the Shattered Hand clan some attention and I think it's a really interesting story
make an entire video about the Arakkoa; the "Trolls" of Draenor who had worshipped Wild Gods, rose to prominence as the dominant species of their world only to fall from grace.
I just started watching his lore videos and came to this intricate several parter and I chose to search the comments specifically for mentions of part 2 of the rise of the horde to know if it's on hold or cancelled or what.
Regular lore in a nutshell Gul'dan: "My plan is flawless nothing could go wrong!" Demons: "Hello we are here to ruin your plan and consume your flesh and give your skull to our masters." Gul'dan: "DANG IT!" WoD Lore in a nutshell Gul'dan: "My plan is going flawlessly! Soon the demon blood will strengthen!" Garrosh: "Hey, I'm here to commandeer your plan for my own and make the mistake of not killing you now and rather use you as a battery to fuel my Iron Horde." Gul'dan: "Dang it! I damn you to get used as a battery for an army at the expense of extreme torture when you die!" Garrosh: "Oddly specific but whatevs..."
I love how Gul'dan never even considered, the demons doublecrossing him. It is almost comical, during the Book of Heroes, where Gul'dan trys to find the Eye of Sargeras, and is attacked by demons in the tomb, and Gul'dan asks why the demons attack him. With Cho'gall pretty much answering: "Maybe the demons were lying." And then he is still suprised, that Sargeras has betrayed him.
@@josynaemikohler6572 No no, Gul'dan *betrayed* the Legion by abandoning the Horde besieging Lordaeron thus ensuring Alliance victory. Gul'dan raised the Tomb of Sargeras, not to aid the Legion, but to try and consume Sargeras and whatever artifacts laying inside the tomb. That's why the demons destroyed him and turned him into a sentient, demonic lava-lamp. I recommend listening to the Tomb of Sargeras audio drama, where Kil'jaeden confirms all this when talking to AU Gul'dan.
B-bu-but you don't understand! How could Hollywood possibly make a movie without humans talking for 40 minutes or humans being involved at all?! How else would you get 3 minute scenes of awkward talk about fucking a half breed? I mean come on, how can you ask them to tell a story with no humans, the writers only write what they know
@@stumpe9662 I don’t think it’s implied that they were controlling Sargeras, maybe just sped up his fall by revealing the void to him but he theoretically would’ve reached that conclusion eventually
The interaction between Velen and Kil’Jaden used early in the video is one of the best interactions they’ve ever made, you can just feel the lore in their delivery
Amazing well done once again, Platinum! The Orc and the Draenei lore is beyond my favorite in Warcraft and you did an excellent job of telling it! Nice use of the voice lines from both WoD and Legion for the characters! And the visuals in this were even better than the last! Great job!
Quality of this video is insane. Thank you so much for all the time you put into this. Keeping my love for WoW strong, cuz the game just doesn’t cut it
Imagine you have such a scummy company and still have talented people like this making free content to promote your games. Blizzard owe you guys an apology for letting you down.
@@borek92 Barring the BfA recap, also his vids about the Gilneans are fairly close to the modern day game. Even closer still is the video on Revendreth
ok the quality of animation is really something else here, how you combine the ingame animations to figureout movements and actions with the edition is fucking awesome, i mean is almost like you were doing the animation from zero and how it feels like an actual film... so great
Ner'zhul seriously needs a hug. His mate died. Manipulated by gul'an and kil'jaeden. Tortured by kil'jaeden. Soul bounded with the lich king armour. Probably controlled by the jailer. Erased from existence by Arthas. He really needs a hug!
I am absolutely blown away by how far your editing and storytelling ability have come. This video is equal parts epic, emotional, and informative, and I could have kept watching for hours. Bravo.
Thank you Plat, a lot of people needed this right now. While there are certainly flaws in it - the lore and the universe are distinctly Warcraft, and that is something that is hard to replicate elsewhere. There is so much interesting lore, and a lot of interesting stories to be told - and I hope we can appreciate that in a way that is respectful to everyone that has worked on it over the years, whilst supporting those making their voices heard now. I just hope the company can get their act together so that the lore keeps flowing, but from a safer environment. Fantastic video as always, Plat. You constantly outdo yourself - which is no easy feat, and I see that very few comments here take that for granted. Thank you again, Plat!
I’m not even into wow, but man the quality of your videos are something else! Like sometimes I watch a video and think “man, maybe I should of played wow”
The music playing during the paladin's flashback to his childhood with his sister set the mood. Comedy is good but its serious emotional moments like that which makes me love this channel
I gotta say that guldan is easily my favorite character in wow lore. To be that evil and petty, to sell your race into demonic slavery for power is most likely the most evil character ever. Not just evil, pure evil.
I am absolutely amazed at the quality of these videos. Your own made cinematics are honestly up there, if not better than some of those straight out of Blizzard themselves. I can only imagine how many hours you grind into one of these videos and god knows youtube does not reward such effort sufficiently. True sign of true passion. Thank you again!
I saw this in my related videos and watched it thinking it was an older video and more volumes were already made.. I NEED MORE! It was so good, great work!
Not gonna lie...I had been feeling sad and, I will admit I kinda cried at one point after all this week of Hell. This is first time in all this mess I legit laughed. Thanks for the laughs, man. Thanks...I legit needed, bah I think EVERYONE needs that, even if just a bit.
I've been watching your videos with my girlfriend, she doesn't know anything about wow but she likes fantasy lores. She is really hooked about the wow lore now thanks to your content and I got to share my favorite fantasy universe with her. I guess what I'm trying to say is "thank you, keep up the amazing work!"
In my opinion, the draenei have some of the best lore in the franchise with their deep ties with the burning legion. I am so happy you covered this, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED seeing maraad mourn over his sister. It isn't for lore or anything, but just that little scene makes the massacre of the blade wind clan so much more intense and dramatic. Thank you so much for these videos, the effort and time you put into these really show!
Platinum WoW , very good editing , great story telling , thank you for the humor involved inside aswell , the 13:50 made me laugh and the death of Marad's sister was very well done , Thank you.
To be fair, once Draenei landed on Draenor it was them or the orcs. In Rise of the Horde, it's noted that all the worlds Velen and company visited were later visited by Kil'jaeden and either exterminated or corrupted added to the Legion and that the Legion will find them eventually, So by exterminating the Draenei Kil was satisfied and didn't even bother to add orcs to the Legion since he believed Velen was killed and there was no point (from the book the reason for abandoning the orcs is not noted, I think it's in chronicles that Sargearas told him to leave them dry and desperate for Azeroth invasion) Edit: Also Gul'dan in the original version wasn't on the Legions payroll from the start but rather sold out his master Ner'zhul and later the entire orc race when Kil'jaeden decided to replace Ner'zhul as his puppet (which feels way more evil and fitting for the meanie he became than just "resentful cripple who wanted vengeance")
True, OT Gul was better written but blizz loves to change the lore over and over again and with the mediocre writers they now have it's always for the worse.
@@GrandAdmThrawn I always liked the original Gul'dan more than the Draenor one. and in HoTS the IS a difference: OT Gul'dan is frail but not a cripple while ALT one is a cripple and resentful of everyone. I pick the OT Gul'dan as the original and the alternate one as the Draenor one. Chronicles just were focused on the story and characters were used as to prop up the story rather than used established characters to tell it (everything Gul'dan did COULD have been cannon after he sold out Ner'zhul, to further drive the orcs to kill Draenei, even softies like Durotan and any clan hesitant)
@@GrandAdmThrawn tbf both versions offer something to someone (and tbh I don't think I could make anything even remotely as interesting as Gul'dan :) )
Wow this video is so freaking good! Your videos are really the only ones that have made sense to me (I started playing WOW about a 1-2 years ago) because it's otherwise insanely complicated and overwhelming. And your jokes are perfect, for example I love the derpy draenei face at 19:54 haha.
Man i found your channel few months ago by watching one of the MANY troll videos and enjoyed it very much. I thought it was a esp video with amazing animation. But man i was so wrong your videos are THE videos. Keep it up Platinum WOW your videos keeps getting better and better both in animation and in comedy. Amazing.
the worst part about the orc draenei battles is that the draenei are such nice guys it wouldve been so easy for them to exist in peace and maybe even form an incredibly powerful alliance.
i know the maraad fight sequence was meant to be serious, but i would of loved to see a seal twist animation in the middle of it xD. loved it either way!
The quality of your videos has risen to insane heights, Platinum. I've been a fan of yours for a while and watching your videos is always an amazing experience. Thank you for your hard work. Can't wait to see what you produce next!
trueeee
Fax, I'm really enjoying the videos. I rarely subscribe but I knew I wanted to after 2 videos.
Therapist = *"Dancing Archimonde Isn't Real, It Can't Hurt You."*
Dancing Archimonde = 12:35
I don't know if it's true or not if he had a vision similar to that but I'm taking it as canon from now on
That is some weird ass vision
Ok. So I opened the video, and I always scroll down to see the comments as it plays, I see yours. Now I wish I hadn't. My day is ruined, and my fear has turned into horror.

My god the fight scenes are getting so good, AND they are actually quite well choreografed, Platinum, you're doing better with every video!
I agree, the quality here is amazing. Could've sat here for an hour watching this
The fight between Maraad and the orc executioner is better than most movie fights tbh lmao it was actually exciting to watch
Man, kinda want just a vid from the man full of upfront action. Like a fucking 40 minutes straight up combat. He's too good.

Chronicles just were focused on the story and characters were used as to prop up the story rather than used established characters to tell it (everything Gul'dan did COULD have been cannon after he sold out Ner'zhul, to further drive the orcs to kill Draenei, even softies like Durotan and any clan hesitant)
@@Astroga159 yeah, these are almost two different characters. Lets wait for yet another retcon xD
@@GrandAdmThrawn tbf both versions offer something to someone (and tbh I don't think I could make anything even remotely as interesting as Gul'dan :) )
@@Astroga159 you never know, you could make sth better cause only the stars are the limit :)
This video... Its just Gold! Congrats!
I played since bc and never knew that was how the horde started. This was so good and informative.
This was so sick; can't wait for part 2
That thumbnail is so freaking epic! Your work is incredible!
Holy shit best one yet dude! Keep getting better and better!!
This is so damned polished! Great job!
I love the use of in-game dialogue, both in serious moments and less serious ones.
"BLACKROCK AND ROLL OF COURSE! * guitar noises cut off by arrow *
Your videos deserve more traction on youtube, and definitely this comment. Godspeed.
another good and high quality lore video! amazing job! keep up the work
Would love to see a part two Platinum! Excellent video! #ForTheHorde
Nothing but love and respect Plat ol boy. May your willys essence be forever carried out to the sea. Keep it up 😉
Your animation and story telling are soooo good ! Perfect video
Wow this video is so freaking good! Your videos are really the only ones that have made sense to me (I started playing WOW about a 1-2 years ago) because it's otherwise insanely complicated and overwhelming. And your jokes are perfect, for example I love the derpy draenei face at 19:54 haha.
It's INSANE how good you have gotten at this. This is blizzard level of entertainment!
The vision of the dancing Archimonde; I just lost it. Had to rewind several times 😂😭
BEST WOW CHANNEL. PERIOD.
Liked, been subscribed, and now commenting for algorithmic purposes.
So my guy Platinum any day we getting a second part? Love your vids.
Man i found your channel few months ago by watching one of the MANY troll videos and enjoyed it very much. I thought it was a esp video with amazing animation. But man i was so wrong your videos are THE videos. Keep it up Platinum WOW your videos keeps getting better and better both in animation and in comedy. Amazing.
Fight scene at 15:14 was better than the official blizzard cutscenes tbh
Not only that, they looked great! Nice work man keep it up.
the worst part about the orc draenei battles is that the draenei are such nice guys it wouldve been so easy for them to exist in peace and maybe even form an incredibly powerful alliance.
i know the maraad fight sequence was meant to be serious, but i would of loved to see a seal twist animation in the middle of it xD. loved it either way!
oh look, a before bedtime platinum wow video, nice
So good… Makes me want to make a Draenei Paladin
Lore is why I play and love wow and these videos is why I subed to platinum .. that ending was grade A blue-balls
RISE of the HORDE {Vol 2} WHEN????????????????????????????,
My dude, your editing skills have become godlike.
bro your machinias are so fucking good and they’re ESPECIALLY shining through in this series 🥰
Vellen sleeping with an Elekk Plushie made me laugh my a** off. Always the niche little details with Plat WoW =)
Having a hole in the vote from the Shattered Hand orc was a nice touch.
Platinum I have so much respect for you and this charity! Well done my man! Keep it up 👍👍
I am a huge fan of your videos Platinum. Keep it up.
