Thanks for watching, folks. I'll have a chat with Hiru and see if he wants any more of these (because this one seems a bit more polarising than the last one!). But thanks to those of you that either said nice things or gave constructive criticism. It's much appreciated.
@@randymarshislorde If I knew why it's polarising; I'd make perfect content! lol. All I know is... this one seems to have had a few more negative responses than the last. I'd rather try and learn from that than just take the stance... "haters gonna hate". For example; can't change my voice (🥴) but I can talk a bit slower. And maybe I should get one of those wow blue mics. Hopefully the person who demanded I get one pays for it though because their like £200.
@@FlyingButtress Well that's a completely reasonable approach to be honest. I think the audio sounds perfectly fine personally. But I'm only just now at the point where Turalyon is debating the efficacy of helping the leader of the Gnomes down from a table after hearing about the "rat menace", so if I come across anything that stands out in a negative way, I'll do my best to make note of it.
I absolutely love it. Only one i dislike is Shadows Rising. Best ones are Dawn of the Aspects and The Last Guardian for me. With this i have only two criticisms - u use less of ur great humor :( and it feels rushed in few moments (it is/feels also more static that Dawn of the Aspects for example or others like Rise of the Horde - also u use less wide shots which are great for immersion, has less pronounced and lower amount of different artsy/beautiful backgrounds that change with characters&story), but it is still so great! All ur vids except for Shadows Rising (I just don't like the book, the story etc - noone can make new WoW lore appealing to me after freaking kung fu panda...) are the best WoW content ever! Absolutely love it!!! Thanks :)
This has become my new favorite way to enjoy these books. I absolutely love all the witty banter and sarcasm run wild. Shits HILARIOUS and I find myself laughing out loud constantly. Thanks Hiru for the Buttress share! I'm officially a Fan!
hiru! thanks to the last time you did this i discovered FlyingButtrees and because of that, Beyond the Dark Portal is the first series ive followed week after week, episode after episode! love the book and both your channels!
This is literally my favourite thing on this channel. I've tried watching on your channel with the playlists but the continuous one is just a lot better imo
I just finished watching your first video a few days ago and now part 2 is out. These are absolutely fantastic. I'm learning so much from them. Played WoW since 2005 but never really bothered to read into the lore, and WoW is kinda bad at getting the lore across unless you take the time to read those randomly placed books around the place, which is difficult because of the hard-to-read font they chose to write them in.
@@JJJBunney001 It's beyond horrible. I was willing to read them - I'm the kind of person that reads every single book in Skyrim, I love reading about lore in games I'm into, but with that weird book font in WoW I just completely gave up.
I hope with Metzen leading the team we get a return to the old days - now that Microsoft own Blizzard, we might see less of the Activision shit (I hope). WoW has been in a really bad state BFA - Shadowlands. Luckily Dragonflight seems to be a push in the right direction and the Classic WoW team are doing a great job with things like Hardcore and Season of Discovery. Personally I’m hoping Season of Discovery leads to Classic+ and we get new areas, stories, lore that leads in a new direction that stays true to classic. We can have the retail timeline and the discovery timeline running side by side with one and other, but discovery can retain its classic RPG play-style.
@@xXImbaFuryXx yeah these take a while to write and produce. the script is written now for day of the dragon book but wow model viewer is always broken on a new xpac (needed for the machinima) as soon as that’s fixed he can start putting the next series together :D source: tfb posted an update video recently on his channel
i always liked Ner’zhul. He is the greatly deceived one of warcraft universe and possibly most tragic. He suffered much because almost all of his evil actions were his faults (cataclysm of draenor for exp) I hope we freed his soul in Sanctum of domination, not killed him entirely. 😢
Nah. Ole boi had it coming. He suffered because of his faults, and because of his faults, he didn’t seek to make a better life for Draenor OR Azeroth. Screw that guy.
@@Dea7hWarran7 That dude meant to be a good guy actually. He warned Durotan about demon blood which means he secretly saved the orcs (could even affects Thrall’s story). He also could do more if he wasn’t kidnapped by Gul’dan after returning from Oshu’gun, where he learned the truth about Kil’jaeden. I hate the way he suddently turn evil (maybe bcause of Skull of Gul’dan) He wanted to save his people but then he betrayed Grom and left other clans to their fates. His only one selfish action lead his way to be the Lich King in the end.
the alleria/turalyon scene had me dying lmao! Good stuff sir! Tbh, I found this book kinda lacking. The pacing seemed to drag. This supercut made this so much more entertaining. Thank you so much. Subbed!
I love FB's delivery and nonchalant use of slang, swears, "...and stuffs", and sly little terms like "face cheeks". Do as many novels as you like, mate - you're more than qualified!
it's pretty remarkable how you can kinda find yourself rooting for the bad guys to an extent. I feel genuinely bad for the orcs and even Teron Gorefiend comes across as somewhat likeable.
Wish we had more conversations between Khadgar and Turalyon/Alleria in the game, but at least they made them return in Legion and Khadgar is still important :)
WHY IN THE HELL THIS ISN'T IN THE GAME ! ALL OF IT, TOLD EXACTLY THIS WAY - THIS IS DIVINE ! imagine quests done and the story told this way, it would be excellent
I like the fact the Captions struggle to say Gorefiend and instead settle with Coffee. Also why does young have a bodyguard that looks like his BlackTemple self?
One thing I dont get.... the Horde is escaping from the alliance, Ner'zhul even saying that 'it could be the end of their race' if they get caught and all. How in the world are they supposed to conquer other worlds? They don't even have the strenght to save themselves lol
How did I go from a league of legends video to this? Was playing a game on my phone and I was like wtf is this...better question, why am I so invested??
Imagine that one adventurer leveling up doing quests in some random forgotten Classic zone just living his best life till he sees one of the figureheads of the Legion (and Horde) ride the most dangerous and powerful dragon in known lore (save galakrond maybe) i mean at this point i would just hang up the gear and open a wine & cheeses shop in Boralus. PS: i remember the 'stood in the fire' achievement in catac launch....I was just killing some mobs in badlands NOT TRYING TO DO THE QUEST AT ALL (in fact i was oblivious Deathwing was flying around in normal zones) when all of a sudden i hear an ungodly shriek behind me and i turn around to see...well you all know what i saw and what happened next. That was NOT how i wanted my relaxing day of leveling to go. It's been years and im still not done with therapy. No jokes i was like 14 at the time and i quite literally shat myself, didn't think WoW could ever jumpscare me like that. And i will never in my life set foot in the Badlands regio again. Since i had no clue about the deathwing event thingy i was just left thinking WHAT DID I DOO
Kinda sad that for the past, you didnt use the place holder models for the younger versions of the characters. Chaos classic BC Khadgar looked old as hell.

Really appreciate this series and the last, crazy now when walking around azeroth to see things like netherguard keep and know of its importance
Seriously it makes game more special!!
This is literally my favourite thing on this channel. I've tried watching on your channel with the playlists but the continuous one is just a lot better imo
At 36:10 and just burst into uncontrollable laughter at the line "he'd loved being allive" lol
I'm at work listening and busted out loud laughing.
3:13:11 I liked how they basically said Khadgar's spell was mainly used for loosening chair screws for pranks, or undoing bras and bodices.
I love these so much, I have them on my while I’m doing housework and find myself stopping what I’m doing to listen to it closer! Great series!
More of this! PLEASE!!! Slake my thirst for hilarious renditions of classic books that I love!!

I'm so excited to just curl up and watch this.
I dont even know where to start. IT WAS AMAZING! OH MY GOD MORE MORE
1:48:23 If that is a callback to one of Turalyon's call-outs in Warcraft 2, that is beautiful
The Arrakoa going "so we fucked off" really got me good
Been waiting a long time to watch this supercut! Amazing work as always.
When im at work i always listen to these videos like a podcast, so satisfying 🫡
Finally... After over a year on my "Watch Later" list I managed to get through all this...
brilliant, love the second war lore, my compliments to the flying chef and my thanks to you hiru and him
Loved this and all the ones you do Fb! Thanks for getting them on here hiru!
Mad respect for having passion projects
I had just finished watching through them all on his channel, funny that this episode comes out now
Love these kinda vids, they're a really entertaining retelling of the books.
bro this is absolutely amazing!!! wow thank you for the uplpad this video is just tooo long haha :D
Listening to these feels like when your trying to funny up wow lore to new players to keep their interest in your lore ramblings. I love it!
hilarious he had to clarify tears were going down his "FACECHEEKS" XD
we need more please i love these lore videos!
The Flying Buttress is the channel you're looking for. He's done quite a few books now!
@@dethkev i have seen all his videos probably played them 3-5 times now
Well as the man said himself, it took 6 months to complete so just wait another 6 months and you’ll get more

Truly the best , better than Hollywood movie , i loved it waiting for more , thank you both guys awesome job
i forgot how good these books were. and with a new spin. i loved every second of this
These videso are what I always wanted, god damn, they are the best movies I have seen in months!
Wish I could like this a bajillion times. Amazing work bois
Where has this been! Thank you for this treat!
Remember kids : Don't do portals
I smoked a portal once.
This is a meme between me and my friends...cuz so many xpacs were because of portals lol
@@cbrdealer 00
Portals- not even once.
I do portals every day and I am doing fine lol
Wow. Thanks for this. I had hella fun watching this. Hope there comes more!
I bloody love these
Bruh I can't belive I watched the whole thing in one sit
very well done i hope you keep making them. great job!
It's very nice you guys made a video to fill in gaps for people who only play wow
I’ve watched this series a few times, amazing stuff.
A good story i always wanted to know and the voice acting was well done
Honestly this is amazing, absolutely loved listening, more of this please!!!
Ah, Alleria is a chocobo. It all makes sense now.
Fuck yeah, was waiting for TFB's epic video for this book.
This is bloody brilliant. I love it!
Ehehehe! The voice you made for Gruul 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i always liked Ner’zhul. He is the greatly deceived one of warcraft universe and possibly most tragic. He suffered much because almost all of his evil actions were his faults (cataclysm of draenor for exp) I hope we freed his soul in Sanctum of domination, not killed him entirely. 😢
Nah. Ole boi had it coming. He suffered because of his faults, and because of his faults, he didn’t seek to make a better life for Draenor OR Azeroth. Screw that guy.
The only bigger suckers than Nerzhul are the Scarlet Cruaade and the player characters in WoW.

I love these videos bro. Keep it up
These are amazing!
2:44:45 This part made me laugh 🤣🤣 loving this it really is helping me learn more of the lore that i missed out on !
Turalyon's "Triple P" will haunt my imagination for a bit. Thanks Buttress
This is so good, please do all books lol
You have no idea what you're asking.
Just discovered these and loving it. More please!
I really enjoyed this.
4 whole hours of entertainment!
Grizzik is my fav arrakoa :) *imitates fighter jet decimating a orc village*
Damn a chunky vid. Flying buttress legendary editor
Gorefiend deserves a much better highlight then how he was treated in TBC
Love the pfp!
@@mayakirkhouse84 you too brisket
Or WoD.
Gorefiend is my most favorite Warcraft character. F*ck WoD for doing what it did to gorefiend 😡😡😡

This super cut came out quick. I mean he just did the last part this early morning for me. And I live on the west coast of usa

i know right?
Just as good as an animated series. TBC is my favorite expression despite all the negative criticism of its lore. GJ on all these vids. 👍
I learned far more from this than I did from any of Nobel's videos.
Most times I don't even understand what Nobel is saying..
While TFB is great, i think this tells more about you than Nobbel, lmao.
A wonderful 6 months well spent butts
1:28 "I can sense it. Deep inside." 🤣
Khadgar that handsome wizard.
Great work. Thank you.
Wish we had more conversations between Khadgar and Turalyon/Alleria in the game, but at least they made them return in Legion and Khadgar is still important :)
@2:47:58 I thought "Macarena" was a human dance emote. XD I know the Dranaei isn't dancing in this scene,but Macarena?? :P Nice touch there guys. :D
Commenting for engagement 👍
WHY IN THE HELL THIS ISN'T IN THE GAME ! ALL OF IT, TOLD EXACTLY THIS WAY - THIS IS DIVINE ! imagine quests done and the story told this way, it would be excellent
Khadgar shoving Gul'dan in a sack will never not be hilarious
Yeah these ones are great I love em!
Excellent video, wonder if it was released at an inopportune time though. Everyone being on twitch to get the drops can't be good for the algorithm.
I like the fact the Captions struggle to say Gorefiend and instead settle with Coffee.
Also why does young have a bodyguard that looks like his BlackTemple self?
I fucking love these I can't wait to listen to it
Love his work!
Love these!!
This is hilarious. I love the humor
Anyone know where the other videos in this series the people in these comments are talking about? Ivenonly found this one :(
One thing I dont get.... the Horde is escaping from the alliance, Ner'zhul even saying that 'it could be the end of their race' if they get caught and all.
How in the world are they supposed to conquer other worlds? They don't even have the strenght to save themselves lol
Kilrogg Deadeye was now Kilrogg Deadguy lmao
'British looking teeth' how dare you but also, fair
thanks for this
This video is so long. Been at this for over an hour now. Goodness…
Thank you!
How did I go from a league of legends video to this? Was playing a game on my phone and I was like wtf is this...better question, why am I so invested??
This is awesome
these are really good. is there any chance of naming the chapters?
For those, like me, without Dragonflight : ^)
This is fucking amazing man
