ya the original men in the lord of the rings were huge muscular and no elf dwarf or dark lord could even stand against them they came from across the sea and were complete badasses.
humans? oh you mean the race of man... with the greatest among them being blessed with extended lifepans and even had their own private island to boot! it was called Númenor... they could live over 200 years and the average height was actually 6'4" with 7' being considered tall! unfortunately almost all of them are now dead with the flooding of their island. though a small few survived, they either died in wars, or of old age. to this day there are VERY few actual Númenóreans left... as their pure blood has been SEVERLY diluted due to mating with the inferior men as well.
This is a real line in the game, if you keep clicking him in Skyhold once you get him as a champion he will start with telling you to go away, then get louder and eventually he will just go off on you. It's honestly one of the best dialogue bits for a character that you continuously poke.
@@Anidem9 Meh, they stole some void freaks the horde already kicked out anyway. We still got most thalassian elves and the nightborne ( y'know elves that still have their own kingdoms ).

@@georgestaykov5358 I think most Night Elves survived everything so far, even during the Third War more Wisps (elves that are already dead to begin with) were sacrificed than living Night Elves, Blood Elves on the other hand should still be recovering from Arthas' happy death parade, since it's implied that they were pushed to near extinction. Void Elves joining the Alliance makes no sense though. Yeah, they might not want to join the Horde, but joining the Alliance would mean going against their homeland, you know, the homeland they were fighting for, it's so stupid.
It's a reference on a joke about the stealth skills of an elephant. You ask "how does an elephant hide in a poppy field"(or a cherry tree or w/e plant is red), to which the answer is that it paints its toes red. When someone calls you stupid, you ask them if they have ever seen an elephant in a poppy field. Then you say that they haven't because they hide very well.

More like upgraded. The titan-forged spent millenia battling the old-gods. Yet, the players have at this point exterminated them for the sake of fancy looking clothes.
This is exactly what I imagined when I read the Warcraft Chronicles. A Vrykul giving birth to a bald-headed, middle-aged hunk. What an astonishing adaption!
How do you produce a video as good as this and still don’t even bother to look up how Vrykul is spelled? It’s impossible to mispronounce it the way you do if you just read it once.
