    So,Arthas is basically a Fantasy version of Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars (Except the fact that his backstory was written even before "Revenge of the Sith" came out)
    Arthas Menethil was a young prince of Human Kingdom of Lordaeron
    He was a handsome man with long,golden blond hair,and he was in love with a pretty and smart mage - Jaina.
    Together with Jaina they were trying to stop an unspeakably horrifying invasion of Undead. Driven by the will of their Master - The Lich King,they were spreading the plague across the kingdom.
    When Arthas was facing those forces - He realized that not only this plague was killing those who were infected - but they were resurrected as mindless zombies as well.
    He then realized that a whole city was infected by the plague,and the only choice was to slaughter everyone in this city before the transformation,or else it could be much worse.
    His girlfriend and his master - Uther the Lightbringer, thought that it was a violent and unhonorable decision///They left him behind when he needed them most..So the only thing he was left to do - Is face the Undead general Mal'ganis all by himself.
    To defeat a powerful demon,he started searching for a special, cursed runeblade "Frostmourne"
    He sacrificed his soul to take the sword and kill Mal'ganis,after which the war with Undead was officially over... But when Arthas came back to his father,the runeblade has already driven him crazy by the whispers of the Lich King himself....Arthas killed his father,destroyed his kingdom,killed his master and a whole paladin's order. He became a right-hand man for a Lich King. His loyal Death Knight..And soon has acheived the right to take the throne and became the second,and most known Lich King in history of WoW

      She was an Elf-Ranger,and she was protecting the capital city of Elves,when Arthas and the Scourge was attacking it.
      Sylvanas was a serious pain in his ass, because she was using various traps and obstacles on his way to his mission when he was just a Death Knight.
      As a result - when Arthas finally reached her, he was so pissed, that instead of killing her - He turned her (and some of her other rangers) into an Undead, and forced her to obey him and slaughter others who she was protecting.

    Starcraft 2 Ghost of the Past trailer (part of Wings of Liberty), Starcraft 2 Vengeance trailer (part of Heart of the Swarm), and Starcraft 2 Oblivion trailer (part of Legacy of the Void). Pretty sure you will enjoy em, and if you do enjoy all three trailers then I would suggest you watch the cinematic cutscene movie of each game if the same order; Wings of Liberty, Heart of the Swarm, and Legacy of the Void.

    Aww I miss these. Watching them when I was young really made me feel like getting the game at all costs. But my personal favourite WoW cinematic is still “Wrath of the Lich King”. It was and still is ‘cool’ (hehe 🙊). And yeah being the Lich King is very Night King-esque (undead ice king vibe) A little backstory about Arthas; he was the main protagonist until, in a desperate attempt to save his people, seeked an artefact of unfathomable powers - Frostmourne (the sword he is wielding); which corrupted him. The trailer is much sadder if you knew that Arthas killed his father (during his descent to the darkside) but still turned out to be everything his father had hoped for (albeit in a sick and twisted way). You could see it from the contrast of his actions in the trailer vs his father’s speech about him. And to top it all off, the haunting vocals for this trailer is singing a song (though through a made up language) with meanings that’s basically “Long live the King”.

    @rogoth01themasterwizard11 4 роки тому +2

    i will do my best to deconstruct each cinematic for you:
    the 'original' version of the game was set shortly after the collected races of Azeroth (the planet) repelled the Burning Legion and the premise of the game at that time was the underlying war between the 2 factions the 'Horde' and the 'Alliance', and as you say their tenuous pact of peace was crumbling and old hatreds had reignited the faction conflict causing them to fight amongst themselves, to break down each character you see in the cinematic:
    Race/Class:
    Dwarf Hunter (Alliance)
    Night Elf Druid (Alliance)
    Undead (Forsaken) Warlock (Horde)
    Tauren Shaman (Horde)
    Orc Warrior (Horde)
    Human Mage (Alliance)
    so in the cinematic we see the dwarf fighting the tauren, the night elf fighting the orc and the mage fighting the infernals (a type of demon) summoned by the undead warlock, the cinematic also shows class abilities that you can also use in game with your playable character and some of the spells that were iconic from the 'Warcraft' game series.
    in the second cinematic which is narrated by Illidan Stormrage the Demon Hunter you see at the end, he was a former Night Elf Mage, he had a lust for power not for his own ends, but as a means to defeat the Burning Legion for good, sadly his methods were very questionable and his people didn't understand him at all, for crimes committed against his kin he was imprisoned and kept there for 10,000 years until he managed to escape where he fled through the 'dark portal', (the great magical gateway at the start of the cinematic), to the broken and shattered homeworld of the Orcs known now as 'Outland', after his taunting introduction we see 2 new races that were added to the game with this expansion:
    Race/Class:
    Draenei Paladin (Alliance)
    Blood Elf Priest (Horde)

    • @rogoth01themasterwizard11
      @rogoth01themasterwizard11 4 роки тому +2

      the Draenei people are a race of beings that have existed for millennia longer than the oldest races on Azeroth and came to Azeroth as refugees after their homeworld was taken over by the Burning Legion, the blood elves were also refugees but of a different sort, for millennia they drew power from the sunwell, a font of arcane energy that 'fed' them, after Arthas attacked their capital city with his undead legions to use the power of the sunwell to reanimate his lieutenant Kel'Thuzad and in the process destroyed the sunwell revealing that the blood elves had been addicted to the magic the sunwell had provided, so in the cinematic you see the blood elf priest 'mana drain' the mana wyrm for its essence to feed her addiction.
      in the final cinematic you see the now Lich King Arthas Menethil sitting atop the 'Frozen Throne', encased in ice after his 5 year slumber and finally reawakening, to understand the story of Arthas would take more space than the comment section would allow but suffice to say he is the greatest Anti-Hero the game world has seen he was the crown prince of the northern kingdom of Lordaeron, but after the plague of undeath had afflicted his people he vowed to find a way to stop it and cure those afflicted if possible, he is taunted by the dreadlord Mal'ganis (a poweful demon commander in the burning legion) to go to Northrend to find a weapon that could save his kingdom and defeat Mal'ganis, the cursed runeblade 'Frostmourne', after taking up the cursed blade it stole his soul and thereafter Arthas begins his descent into madness and corruption eventually returning to his kingdom the first death knight of the Lich King, where upon his return he kills his father sealing his soul inside Frostmourne and paving the way for the undead to rise and ultimately destroy his kingdom, he then returns to Northrend to 'fuse' with the Lich King and after a short time he becomes the Lich King himself.
      in the cinematic the narrator is the father of Arthas, king Terenas Menethil, talking to Arthas as if he is still a child reminding him of what it takes to be a good king and during this whole sequence he is raising the former brood queen of the blue dragonflight Sindragosa into undeath as his first 'Frostbrood' dragon, and his new mount after the destruction of Sapphiron in Naxxramas, and through the power of telepathy when she flies over the undead legions below (faction known as the scourge), Arthas takes control of all of them and bends them to his will.
      while it has already been mention it's worth saying again that this cinematic happened back in 2007/2008, and in fact GoT almost had a copyright lawsuit issue for ripping off this cinematic, if it wasn't for some of the names and slight tweaks to the show they would have been liable for copyright infringement due to ripping off this sequence.

      Capsule history in case you're interested:
      On another world, Orcs lived, were enslaved by demonic forces who addicted them to demon blood, and came thru the gateway (The Dark Portal in trailer #2) as an invasion force to conquer the Warcraft world, Azeroth. Warcraft 1 and Warcraft 2 were the wars between these Orcs and their flunkies, and the Alliance of humans, dwarves, and elves.
      Warcraft 3 takes place later, when a prophecy leads a young orc, Thrall, to gather up his defeated people and travel across the sea to found a new homeland. The demons are coming again, heralded by a plague that turns people into slavering undead, led by the former hero Arthas who has been turned into a death knight, and who later ascends to the throne and usurps the Lich King.
      Finally, an alliance of the Horde (the Orcs and their peeps) and the Alliance (humans et al) aided by the Night Elves (the purple elf ladies and their druid bros) fight off the demonic forces, and Arthas goes into a deep slumber in the northern wastes (until the Wrath of the LIch King cinematic).
      I trimmed a LOT out, but hey, it's a *capsule* history. :D

    I tried to warn you about Assassins's creed in commentary:
    "I think there is one problem with Assassin's creed trailers. These trailers are really good, but they are about cool action and visual element and not about story or characters, unlike the game itself".
    These old World of Warcraft cinematic trailers are not very great too in terms of story and characters, but it'll gets so much better. I still recommend to start with all Battle of Azeroth videos, i think you'll really like it, because it has consistent story and friendly to newcomers.
    Watch in this order:
    1. Warbringers: Sylvanas (not CGI cinematic video, but important for the story): ua-cam.com/video/TVp7yLfnmrE/v-deo.html
    2. Old Soldier: ua-cam.com/video/aW_h0qf9vpA/v-deo.html
    3. Battle for Azeroth trailer (you already watched it).
    4. Lordaeron Throne Room Confrontation (in-game cinematic video): ua-cam.com/video/nTowPRMsiEA/v-deo.html
    5. Lost Honor: ua-cam.com/video/LKZ7ygLTR0g/v-deo.html

    If you're looking for new TV shows to watch then i would highly recommend two shows. Firefly which is, unfortunately, only one season with a follow up movie, Serenity. It's very character driven with an old west outer space vibe similar to The Mandalorian but with more jokes and an amazing cast. The other is the 2004 reboot of Battlestar Galactica, it starts with a two part miniseries then four seasons of the show, none of which are long. Again, it's very character driven with themes touching on religion/philosophy, the nature of war, refugees, genocide, civil strife, compassion, what it means to be human, and doing so in an accessible way. That might sound too deep for reaction videos but the storytelling is compelling and there are plenty of moments of levity. It also has a great cast.
    That was a bit more rambling than I meant it to be but I think you'd enjoy both shows. I'll link the trailers. Sorry about the video quality.

Those Words are so full of power, wisdom and meaningfull. But they can be interpreted very wrong.

    The reason why so many game trailers will look boring for you is that most games with story try not to show much of anything about story of the game as to intrigue people to play the game and learn the story from in-game. World of warcraft on the other hand is a MMORPG game which means its a game for massive multiplayer experience and its a very old game thus it has large engine limitations on what you can do in game to push the narrative experience. Like most of the story in game of WOW is just reading a bunch of texts with a few cinematics thrown in because of game limitations.
    A game like Assasin creed, for example, is a story-based game where you meet historical characters and see often historical events take place but with an alternative history twist of Templar/Assasin conflict thrown in together

    Woo hey. Ya miss me? I’ll be doing another one of these “deep dives” into the WoW lore up until Wrath of the Lich King as succinctly as possible. It’ll still be a lot since this game has like 30 years of history behind it.
    There are many different forces in the WoW universe. Chief among them are the Light and Void. (I’m sure you can guess what they are). These primordial energies clash and create the Fel, which is a highly addictive and super chaotic form of energy. In the vast cosmos of WoW, there is a realm called the Twisting Nether which is made up of swirling Fel and houses an intergalactic army of demons known as the Burning Legion. Like all fantasies, WoW has its own pantheon of deities. Multiple, actually. Chief among them are the Titans, which are intergalactic beings born from the souls of entire planets. Their quest was to order the universe and help bring life throughout.
    Before we get any further, the Void has their own “deities” known as the Void Lords and probably the strongest beings in the universe. Fortunately for the player character, they’re deep in the vast reaches of space so they act more like a puppeteer pulling strings. The Void Lords eventually saw the Titans spreading life and sought to undo their work. They would try to achieve this by corrupting the world soul of a Titan before it was born. To do this, they flung parts of themselves across the cosmos that attached to planets with world souls in them. These parts became their own autonomous creatures known as the Old Gods which are parasitic beings that attach to these planets and work to corrupt them.
    The strongest of the Titans and the general of their army, Sargeras went about the universe to find more Titan world souls. In the process, he would round up the various demonic species as he traveled to and from the Twisting Nether onto a prison planet known as Mardum. One day, he came across a planet that was covered in Void and was alarmed. Peering inside, he saw multiple old gods infecting the planet and also saw that they were nearly complete. Deciding that a Void infected Titan would be stronger than the rest of them and would bring upon the destruction of the universe, a terrified Sargeras swung his mighty sword and cleaved the planet in two. (Should have noted that Titans are generally the size of Galactus from Marvel comics).
    Hurrying back to the rest of the Pantheon, Sargeras tried to convince them that in order to stop the universe from becoming Void corrupted, the only answer was to purge all life across the cosmos and start anew. The Titans deemed Sargeras mad and outcasted him. Deciding to take matters into his own hands, he went to the prison planet of Mardum and broke the magical bonds that had imprisoned the hosts of demons. In the process, the pent up Fel energies on the planet erupted outward and forever changed Sargeras into a demon himself. Thus the Burning Legion was born. We would later learn that Sargeras had also been corrupting his own Titan world soul and was using the planet as basically an infinite respawn for his vast demon armies.
    Fast forward to Azeroth. The home of the heroes. Azeroth is a world with a world soul of a Titan in it and possibly one of the strongest. Aman’thul, the leader of the Pantheon came across her (Azeroth is a she) but noticed something was wrong. 4 Old Gods had infected the planet and were working to turn the planet into a Void corrupted Titan. Reaching down, Aman’thul ripped one of the Old Gods off the planet but saw that her lifeblood came flowing out and reasoned that ripping the rest of them out would end up killing her. So the Titans left beings of order behind on the planet who would become the Titan Keepers. These Titan Keepers worked to imprison the rest of the Old Gods and had succeeded. But being super powerful, the whispers from these Old Gods eventually corrupted some of these Keepers and infected them with the Curse of Flesh. Part of the reason why the Keepers were effective were because they were of metal and rock, not flesh and blood. I think that’s how they say dwarves, gnomes, and humans came to be on this planet. Fallen Keepers who fell to the Curse of Flesh.
    10,000 years before the events of the first Warcraft game, the Burning Legion tried to invade Azeroth in what would come to be known as the War of the Ancients. The conflict lead to an event called the Great Sundering which split the world apart. (Basically, everything was on one huge continent. Like Pangea.) Sargeras had convinced parts of the High Elves over to his side and with the help of their queen, let his demons into the world to try to wipe out the planet. The “YOU ARE NOT PREPARED” guy is a night elf by the name of Illidan who at this time was a powerful mage. But upon seeing the Burning Legion, he decided the only way to ensure his home’s safety was to join the Legion as a double agent. Sargeras took his eyesight and in return imbued him with Fel, turning him into a half demon. (He can still see energies and stuff. He’s basically Daredevil).
    When Aman’thul ripped the Old God from the planet, it left behind a well from which the planet’s lifeblood came out. This well of powerful arcane energy would become known as the Well of Eternity and was what caused a group of trolls to evolve into the elves. As Sargeras influenced the elven queen, she corrupted the Well and used it to create a portal to let the Legion in. Illidan, before the Well was completely destroyed, took some of the arcane waters to try to create a new Well. This was apparently super taboo in his people’s culture and along with him becoming a demon, he was labeled a betrayer and outcasted from society.
    The wild gods of Azeroth, along with the rest of the good elves, succeeded in driving the Legion back. Illidan was captured and imprisoned for 10,000 years.
    Fast forward that amount of time to the First War. This was when the orcs invaded Azeroth through the Dark Portal (seen in the second Warcraft video. The thing that gave you the Aladdin vibes). On Azeroth, there is a powerful mage known as the Guardian and Sargeras had managed to infect the baby in her womb when she was pregnant. That baby would later grow up to become the new and last Guardian known as Medivh. With the seeds of Sargeras’ corruption within him, Medivh would eventually create the Dark Portal on Azeroth and let the orcs of Outland in. Sargeras, after having been defeated 10,000 years ago, decided he’d send in the warring clans of orcs to try to weaken the planet. That leads to the events of the first game. The orcs eventually settle on a continent known as Kalimdor and recruit people to their cause, forming the Horde.
    Meanwhile, the Eastern Kingdoms were governed by one kingdom known as Lordaeron. (Think the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros all united into one.) The king of Lordaeron, Terenas II, had a son who he named Arthas. Arthas trained from a young age to become a paladin, an order of holy warriors, which is why in the narration of the Wrath of the Lich King video, Terenas calls Arthas “a weapon of righteousness”.
    The leader of the orcs from Outland (originally called Draenor before it was siphoned of most of its life) was a Warchief known as Ner’zhul. He was the first Lich King, granted the power by Sargeras. He was eventually captured by one of Sargeras’ lieutenants who destroyed his body and shoved his soul into the Helm of Domination (the pointy thing Arthas wears on his head). Kil’jaeden, the lieutenant, placed it on the Frozen Throne in Northrend. (Think super Greenland). Then they worked on turning infecting the planet with the Scourge in order to weaken Azeroth once more.
    Later, the Legion would whisper in the ear of a mage known as Kel’Thuzad who was outcasted by the order of mages known as the Kirin Tor for his obsession with death. Through his help from these whispers, he perfected the Plague of Undeath which is like covid if it turned all the dead bodies in its wake into mindless zombies and had a 100% mortality rate. Arthas the paladin eventually caught up to Kel’Thuzad who said the planet was already doomed in his villainous monologue. Seeking to find a way to destroy the Scourge (as these zombies were called), Arthas followed the whispers of Ner’zhul to the Frozen Throne and found Frostmourne (the ram skull sword from the video). It acts as a conduit and siphons the souls of those it slays, gaining more power from each soul it absorbs. Not wanting to be the Legion’s pawn, Ner’zhul had Arthas take up the blade. One of the dwarves Arthas traveled with noted the blade was cursed but Arthas was willing to bear any curse if it meant saving the planet as he was seduced by the whispers into believing it was some sort of super weapon. Arthas then killed the small army he’d brought with him using the weapon and turned them into the undead Scourge. Going back to Lordaeron, Arthas used the blade to commit regicide and become the next king. He then returned to Northrend and donned the Helm of Domination to complete his transformation into the Lich King as the two consciousnesses of Ner’zhul and Arthas fused. He then commanded his Scourge army to create a massive castle known as Icecrown Citadel while he sat encased in ice on the Frozen Throne.
    Later, after having regenerated all his energies, Arthas resurrects a dragon known as Sindragosa and this is shown in the Wrath of the Lich King video.
    I hope I got this more or less correct. WoW has had so many retcons throughout its history, it’s hard to get the full, correct story down.

    WHile the first Cinematic, from the launch of the game just kinda presents the various races in the game and has no real plot.
    Each following Cinematics for each Expansions of the game, has a more Narrative driven storytelling.
    Each time you'll see well knowed and Famous or Infamous figures of the Warcraft franchise, that players from the RTS games Knows and love/hate.
    There is a plethora of characters in the Warcraft universe, and the story can be really deep, but some of the most famous/Infamous ones are Arthas the Lich King, Illidan Stormbringer, the Traitor( the guy with the huge horns and wings), Thrall, Warchief of the Horde, Jaina Proudmoore and some others.
    Now the games and expansions, you either love it or not, but the characters and the universe of Warcraft is interesting, there's comics, novels, even the Warcraft movie.

    Yaaas warcraft trailers :D Happy you liked these first trailers even if they're the ones with little story. The better ones are these cinematics: ua-cam.com/video/ZDzPkTEMBgc/v-deo.html (one video with them in chronological order, you've already watched one of these). This is basically a short movie (25 min).
    Also, you'll love the "Lords of War", "Harbringers" and "Warbringers" shorts (I think someone else recommended these before so I think you already have the links) because each video is the story of one of the characters of the Warcraft universe.

Instead of deleting it, maybe you could at the end of each video select two or three from the list and ask us which of those we think might suit you. In that way we can comment and help you sort out the list for you.

    Dunno if you're gonna read this but I just wanted to give my take on Arthas. I'm fairly certain Blizzard took to Arthurian lore when developing this character. There's alot of obvious parallels.
    So I think of Arthas Menethil as what Arthur Pendragon would have been had Arthur turned evil in the worst way. Actually, Arthur + Morgana = Arthas ... I'd say.
