Meanwhile in Dalaran: Dr. Boom: Uhh... boss? What, uh... what is that? Rafaam: It's not our fuckin' problem, is what it is. Shut up and keep steering, we got proto-dragons to resurrect.
@Right To Censor nezhul was the LK. yeah he didnt have a real body but the LK is pretty much the crown + a conscience. after Arthas killed nezhul mind(not confirmed but eluded to) he was left alone. thats why after arthas died they couldnt just freeze the crown or something. they needed a mind , a sentient being -> bolvar.
@Right To Censor yeaaaaah..... Even Sylvannas is just straight up BAD. Like bad stereotypical edgy shit writing. They didn't need a Lich King in 1 or 2 just straight up, it's not about raising the dead
but she is not blind... i this it is the icecrown but the wrong queen.... isnt azeroth blind and the strongest titan and the queen or so? am i seeng this wrong Oo
Hey Krim, the question on where she’s getting all her power from, she’s getting them through an entity called the jailer who resides in the shadowlands and I’m guessing he predates the existence of the titans considering the shadowlands themselves predates the titans, that’s what ion said today
Not plot armor. Yes she has "purple" power from the Maw increasing her power. But Bolvar was no Arthas. Bolvar only had the Hemlet, which controls undead. He DID NOT HAVE Frostmourne which made Arthas much more powerful. Also, Bolvar never embraced being the Lich King like Arthas did. Arthas wanted to conquer. Lastly, Bolvar did not have as much "rest" time to hulk up as Arthas did. I wish Blizz added these explanations into their rationalization as clearly even avid WoW fans are blind to these facts.
Ion explained pretty thoroughly she's gotten her powers from "The Jailer" in the Maw of the shadowlands. Right now the cycle is broken and souls are going directly into the Maw instead of being judged and filtered Properly. There by making her more and more powerful.
Hey man, just wanted to say that I am very happy to see you keeping up the reactions of WOW regardless of whether you chose to play it anymore or not. I say this because you are my favorite WoW cinematic react channel. So on that front, very happy to see you keep watching this. Keep on rockin, Krimson!
"The Mirror will break... the Horn will call. From the Shadows I strike, and the skies... will fall." -Morganthe (Wizard101), and now Sylvanas Windrunner (World of Warcraft) essentially.
Obviously a year late on this reaction but having first watched it on a collage of reactions i caught the "She's killed us all!" which i knew came from Krimson and i immediately broke out laughing. This is by far the best reaction but lets face it, Sylvanas is my queen and thus we ride into the void as one. Lol
@@tellywebsamacharblog but according to this new lore of the maw, the Jailer has been consuming and in essense destroying the souls in the maw slowly over time and we will be only able to save the soul of recently deceased heroes but arthas died AGES ago so i'd say we wont actually see him..
@@sriley064 You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. Seriously, you couldn't make it more obvious that you don't know what a cuck is. Go stalk someone else.
Her power comes from an entity in the Shadowlands called the Jailer as someone below said, it and the shadowlands predate the Titans so she is using PURE death magic and she quite LITERALLY broke death itself with what she did to the crown ALL souls are being sent to a place called the Maw in the shadowlands which is an inescapable place where souls are jailed and with each soul sent there her power becomes greater and the Maw begins to consume the shadowlands.
I've not played Warcraft since 2006? I noticed Sylvanas in a cgi picture last week while watching news on youtube. I was intrigued by her facial structure, so I played the video ' Battle for Azeroth', very beautiful craftsmanship. The Banshee form was... cool cgi. It was everyones reaction to it that got me interested. So I studied her storyline, I browsed through it, nothing in depth, just rambled through some past trailers. How she was converted from her true form of an elf into a banshee, cursed. Ok. Cursed. Not killed. Cursed. Look at all the other banshees in Warcraft, floating there mindlessly, awaiting something to trigger them, they not cursed, they died and banshees take their form. Sylvanas has been lying to herself for years, she still sees herself as an elf, she remains an elf, firing arrows, fighting mortally with weapons. So when she destroys that siege tower and comes down it, then dramatically changes into her TRUE form, she does it in front of the people she use to love, and it's to the alliance she Yells.. " For the Horde", that she finally accepts what she is, a banshee, not a living breathing creature, but a being that cannot die, but has a soul, the ability to choose direction in life, unlike the undead, who have no choice. Her tormentor had no idea what he had created when he made her, she will ascend to be the most powerful being because he left her soul in there! She Can Learn!
I hope at the end Sylvanas not only dies but is absolutely humiliated. I won't pay to find out though. If it happens then I will buy the following xpac and resub.
@@KingBearmane ha. Funny, but it wouldn't excuse the things she has done and it would suck pretty hard since Arthas finally was put to rest. His storyline had closure and he was finally free at the end.
Well for her and her undead only waits damnation.... Makes Sense for her to break open the door to the realm of death itself to escape that damnation for her and her people.... Death for all is probably just a pleasant side effect to her.
Her plan is to make us (herself) not able to die, actually. Be free of the prison of Death. For now is a good thing, because all the souls are now going directly to The Maw.
I haven't gone through BFA, but from what I've read, her new power comes from a deal she's made with something called The Jailer from the Shadowland, which granted her greater powers that have grown even stronger with the link to the Shadowland having been opened.
never in their story they just one shotted everyone though. sylvanas was a good character but they just ruined her. you can't feel sympathy or interest for her. she can't even compare to arthas or illidan in my opinion.
Yeah, but since sylvanas has been drawing power from the afterlife itself she was pretty much unbeatable. Her deal with the jailer has allowed her to gain incredible dark magic power and augment her death Knight abilities.
Also, the end of Saurfang's Mak'Gora is supposed to be an indicator to us (in game btw) that Sylvanas suddenly has a bunch of new powers, which she obviously did NOT have during WotLK when she was running from Arthas in the Halls of Reflection. So no, she's not a Mary Sue, the intrigue behind her power gains are clearly intentional. Yeah they're kinda frustrating but that doesn't make them inconsistent. Also we are going to learn in-game that she's being empowered by a being in the Shadowlands called the Jailor. So, yeah, it's explained and makes sense, no matter how much anyone (me included) doesn't particularly like it.
In short: Sylvanas has no more valkyrs, she goes to shadowlands where there is life/death angels and shit, gets immortality juice and then some bullshit redemption arc (kinda like they did for kerrigan in sc2) for her right at the end like "ah ha you guys it was all a prank I stoped death for everyone I'm a good guy".
According to Ion, Sylvanas gets her power from the dead, and by all the deaths in the war, Sylvanas grew stronger and stronger, and now its overflowing the shadowlands. Thats some kind of pact she has with the "Jailer of the danmed". Well, lets see what else she has with him and Helya.
so running theory i have i think part of her new powers come from her pact with helya remember in helheim trapped souls and soul fragments had the same shadow chains trapping them not to mention helya is super connected to the shadowlands, promised to come back, and has already made deals with sylvanas before sylvanas made a deal with her, for power and maybe a connection with this new shadow entity thing in the shadow realms, and after the leegion was defeated, went full monopolizing death. all her choices being about either encouraging war and death, or reacting to her paranoia and trying to take out threats to her controll. her fear of death has lead to a hatred of life, because the living die, but if she can connect life and death, perminantly remove what separates them, then life is no longer a prison, but to empower this plan, she needed to send as many souls to the shadowlands as possible because aparantly all the souls sent there durring BFA, didnt go to one of the 4 realms of the shadowrealm, they went to a 5th place, where the tower is apparently. so those souls are being used for something. so BFA was all about setting up for this plan. but she had to skip ahead to this part after her fight with sour-fang, since she F*d up by openly insulting the horde and it's honor infront of the horde, both sides of it.
Bolvar, as the Lich King, had incredible power and strength... But there are a few problems with it that let Sylvanas pretty easily take him down. 1. No frostmourne, as mentioned. That is a big factor. 2. Arthas regularly waged war on the living for a while before returning to Icecrown and, after that, regularly honed and increased his power by basically making Vrykul/Undead/Valkyr farms to give him more souls and more soldiers. Bolvar sat on that throne and never did anything with his power. Even in legion he was more a strategic individual then anything else. He was always getting stronger. 3. Bolvar's greatest power was the command of the Undead, which he could have absolutely used to wipe the floor with Sylvanas. Problem is, Sylvanas is a Ranger, which is basically a rogue mixed with a hunter, and more over she has her new powers of darkness which absolutely lend themselves to hiding because that's her spec. Sneaking past the mindless undead would have been easy for her. And even assuming Bolvar still had Death Knights, Val'kyr and Vrykul working for him (no reason to assume he does) she could have snucked past them too. So without forewarning of her coming he had only enough time to gather the best in the citadel itself which, in Legion, we saw was pretty defunct/full of random undead. Bolvar was a jailer holding the undead back, not a true King ready for war at any given time. His greatest power, the command of the scourge, Sylvanas circumspect ed by sneaking around
so what i think i is happening is that Sylvanas has been providing souls to ''The Jailor''. so for example Teldrassil. where she makes sure there is enough death. and in return she recieves these extreme powerups
As a loyal DK I have to defend my Lich King.... They just overpowered her like wtf... at least she didn't become "Lich queen".. I would never serve her. :D
They really did an injustice to Bolvar as the Lich King. Look at his face when she breaks the helm, they animated his face like a whimpering deep fried puppy. At least make it look like they are equal in power instead of Sylvanas overpowering him without breaking her resting bitch face.
Bolvar is not overpowered like Arthas was. Arthas had the crown AND the Frostmourne. Bolvar was a nerfed version of the Lich king. Btw Sylvanas is way too strong atm, isn’t like Bolvar was a piece of shit
well.. as a loyal Forsaken Warlock, i will follow my banshee queen what ever it takes... shame though... she would have made an awesome "Lich Queen" :D
It's cool how sylvanas has been drawing power from the maw to strengthen her death Knight powers. She made a deal with the jailer for her immense power.
i love your reaction videos. her new powers are from the Jailer in the Maw. All these people calling her a mary sue need read up on what a mary sue is. She is so much more than just Sylvannas now. Keep kicking ass Krimson.
No. Even the devs said in the panel that she supposedly “always” had her powers and that she answers to no one . Wish she had helped in wotlk but you know retcons and such .o well wow lore is dead
Karl Strud this trailer doesn’t explain anything man . People can speculate all they want but there’s no proof that indicates she’s working with someone in the shadowlands . For all we know it’s just a big bad she met there and she set him free and now he does her bidding .
She’s either a Mary Sue or she was too dumb to use her powers for this long... I mean at least she’s a sexy Mary Sue and she’s upfront about not giving a rats arse about any living creature on Azeroth. Point to where the Ranger General has telekinesis.... She sure didn’t have those powers before she Swanton off ice crown the first time around. Oh and for “read up on it”.. “ A character may be judged Mary Sue if she is competent in too many areas” Epic level Ranger General/Necromancer/Mage with legendary action: Uncanny Dodge. Honestly this should show how much she hated the Horde. She was the Horde’s best weapon on the table and instead of taking care of the Alliance for good, she maneuvered both sides to kill as much of each other as possible. With this power who could actually stand against her much less beat her?
so it was kind of explained that as the maw gets more powerful, so does the jailer and so does sylvanas. not in depth too much but i imagine we will learn.
Sylavanas has reached Illidan's levels of fucking things up. She surpassed Arthas with all the Warchief and war thing, but now she is breaking vails between worlds and destroying antcient arthifacts to break the world.
I knew she wasn't going Lich Queen. Why go something that she hated so much and turned her into what she is? As for the powers, the smoke is part of her own Banshee powers but the purple I believe comes from the Jailer in the Maw. I think ALL of this is going to come down to the fact of what she saw when she was falling from Icecrown. I hope Blizz shows us that.

That was Sylvanas serving the Lich King a cease and desist order from the Jailer.

A+ bait and switch
I never thought she would do that. She doesn't need more power, she wants to destroy other's power!

You mean the sword we now have an Expac about?
I was like Damn at the begining at the end i was like DAMN SON, I hope sylvanas loyalists can join in on the quest to free "death"that would be Sweet.
They probably will because they did say to make the choice wisely lol.
I come back to this reaction every so often. One of my favorites to this cinematic.
"his crown will open the way"
Lich king:wt..... how?
"WhaT ARE YOU DOING"
"SHE BROKE IT" i love it XD
Her power comes from an entity in the Shadowlands called the Jailer as someone below said, it and the shadowlands predate the Titans so she is using PURE death magic and she quite LITERALLY broke death itself with what she did to the crown ALL souls are being sent to a place called the Maw in the shadowlands which is an inescapable place where souls are jailed and with each soul sent there her power becomes greater and the Maw begins to consume the shadowlands.
At last, I was impatient for your reaction
Hey Krimson, react to the "what's new" panel, or to the features overview. The panel explains why Sylvanas is becoming so powerful :D
I've not played Warcraft since 2006? I noticed Sylvanas in a cgi picture last week while watching news on youtube. I was intrigued by her facial structure, so I played the video ' Battle for Azeroth', very beautiful craftsmanship. The Banshee form was... cool cgi.

this was the most goosebumpy cinematic since Lost Honor for me.
Love your reactions, thank you !
Loved it. I've watched this trailer several times now. Bolvar looks SICK!
Hope we see more Bolvar in the expansion.
as Khadgar would say " WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?"
No Lich King for the first time ever.
That action literally opened a rift between life and death.....
I hope at the end they restore balance by forging a new Lich King.
Lukus Bearmane reforge the helm of domination but I guess it wouldn’t be the lich king still because he was a special case.
I hope at the end Sylvanas not only dies but is absolutely humiliated. I won't pay to find out though. If it happens then I will buy the following xpac and resub.

never in their story they just one shotted everyone though. sylvanas was a good character but they just ruined her. you can't feel sympathy or interest for her. she can't even compare to arthas or illidan in my opinion.
I think it's kinda cool that we see Bolvar using Death Knight Runic magic.
Yeah, but since sylvanas has been drawing power from the afterlife itself she was pretty much unbeatable. Her deal with the jailer has allowed her to gain incredible dark magic power and augment her death Knight abilities.
He is level 80 and she's level 120. Of course she won.
"She broke everything!!! we're all dead"!😂😂😂
3:01 - "Where d'she go" - classic :)
Hahaha, "We're all dead! Sylvanas broke...EVERYTHING".....Again, such an entertaining reaction....Now for your Diablo 4 reaction!
i come from the future to tell you that silvanas powers came from the jailer, the most important and cuning character in all WoW.
Also, the end of Saurfang's Mak'Gora is supposed to be an indicator to us (in game btw) that Sylvanas suddenly has a bunch of new powers, which she obviously did NOT have during WotLK when she was running from Arthas in the Halls of Reflection. So no, she's not a Mary Sue, the intrigue behind her power gains are clearly intentional. Yeah they're kinda frustrating but that doesn't make them inconsistent. Also we are going to learn in-game that she's being empowered by a being in the Shadowlands called the Jailor. So, yeah, it's explained and makes sense, no matter how much anyone (me included) doesn't particularly like it.
Time for Taelia to meet her father!
In short: Sylvanas has no more valkyrs, she goes to shadowlands where there is life/death angels and shit, gets immortality juice and then some bullshit redemption arc (kinda like they did for kerrigan in sc2) for her right at the end like "ah ha you guys it was all a prank I stoped death for everyone I'm a good guy".
According to Ion, Sylvanas gets her power from the dead, and by all the deaths in the war, Sylvanas grew stronger and stronger, and now its overflowing the shadowlands. Thats some kind of pact she has with the "Jailer of the danmed". Well, lets see what else she has with him and Helya.
so running theory i have
i think part of her new powers come from her pact with helya
remember in helheim trapped souls and soul fragments had the same shadow chains trapping them
not to mention helya is super connected to the shadowlands, promised to come back, and has already made deals with sylvanas before
sylvanas made a deal with her, for power and maybe a connection with this new shadow entity thing in the shadow realms, and after the leegion was defeated, went full monopolizing death. all her choices being about either encouraging war and death, or reacting to her paranoia and trying to take out threats to her controll. her fear of death has lead to a hatred of life, because the living die, but if she can connect life and death, perminantly remove what separates them, then life is no longer a prison, but to empower this plan, she needed to send as many souls to the shadowlands as possible because aparantly all the souls sent there durring BFA, didnt go to one of the 4 realms of the shadowrealm, they went to a 5th place, where the tower is apparently.
so those souls are being used for something.
so BFA was all about setting up for this plan. but she had to skip ahead to this part after her fight with sour-fang, since she F*d up by openly insulting the horde and it's honor infront of the horde, both sides of it.
You know what they say: "In the end, death claims us all"
Bolvar, as the Lich King, had incredible power and strength... But there are a few problems with it that let Sylvanas pretty easily take him down.
1. No frostmourne, as mentioned. That is a big factor.
2. Arthas regularly waged war on the living for a while before returning to Icecrown and, after that, regularly honed and increased his power by basically making Vrykul/Undead/Valkyr farms to give him more souls and more soldiers. Bolvar sat on that throne and never did anything with his power. Even in legion he was more a strategic individual then anything else. He was always getting stronger.
3. Bolvar's greatest power was the command of the Undead, which he could have absolutely used to wipe the floor with Sylvanas. Problem is, Sylvanas is a Ranger, which is basically a rogue mixed with a hunter, and more over she has her new powers of darkness which absolutely lend themselves to hiding because that's her spec. Sneaking past the mindless undead would have been easy for her. And even assuming Bolvar still had Death Knights, Val'kyr and Vrykul working for him (no reason to assume he does) she could have snucked past them too. So without forewarning of her coming he had only enough time to gather the best in the citadel itself which, in Legion, we saw was pretty defunct/full of random undead. Bolvar was a jailer holding the undead back, not a true King ready for war at any given time. His greatest power, the command of the scourge, Sylvanas circumspect ed by sneaking around
I just imagined a leader saying this as they set off the nukes....
so what i think i is happening is that Sylvanas has been providing souls to ''The Jailor''. so for example Teldrassil. where she makes sure there is enough death. and in return she recieves these extreme powerups
The power she is getting it from a monster in chains in the shadowlands with blue eyes
"what did she do?!?!?!?"
I do believe Sylvanas disenchanted the Helm of Dominion.....
As a loyal DK I have to defend my Lich King.... They just overpowered her like wtf... at least she didn't become "Lich queen".. I would never serve her. :D
They really did an injustice to Bolvar as the Lich King. Look at his face when she breaks the helm, they animated his face like a whimpering deep fried puppy. At least make it look like they are equal in power instead of Sylvanas overpowering him without breaking her resting bitch face.
Bolvar is a much weak version of Lich King. For the love of gods get your goddamn facts right before complaining for bs.
Bolvar is not overpowered like Arthas was. Arthas had the crown AND the Frostmourne. Bolvar was a nerfed version of the Lich king. Btw Sylvanas is way too strong atm, isn’t like Bolvar was a piece of shit
calm down guys. I am just "deffending" my "true king", I really don't mean it serious, I don't play it anymore, so... xD
well.. as a loyal Forsaken Warlock, i will follow my banshee queen what ever it takes... shame though... she would have made an awesome "Lich Queen" :D
0:34 - Ice crown?
- ...Ice crown.
First the world tree now the frozen throne . . . . . . The dire and the radiant should be prepared 🤣
It's cool how sylvanas has been drawing power from the maw to strengthen her death Knight powers. She made a deal with the jailer for her immense power.
There must always be a lich king Sylvanas:I can fix that
haha my friend!!
you are the best as always
greetings from Russia!
What did she do? She broke it! We're all dead!!!! You're so awesome. You make my day xD
they did give the answers for her new power in the what's next panel
The voice actress for Sylvanas is so good
so fucking good
Gotta love how they explain syls power boost by making up an entity we’ve never even heard before
I believe its called story development.
SE- Shadow Bringers
SE- Stonks
Blizzard- Got it
Blizzard- Shadow lands
*Not* *My* *Lich* *King*
I don't even play this game but i come here for the reactions lol
banshee powers were explained years ago but these chain powers she got from jailer
you're such a happy friendly guy. makes me happy too.
Anyone notice that Bolvar is wearing Arthas’s armour??? Except the chest piece, cape and 1 gauntlet
She gets her powers from a pact with the Jailer in the Maw. As The Maw grows so does her power.
i love your reaction videos. her new powers are from the Jailer in the Maw. All these people calling her a mary sue need read up on what a mary sue is. She is so much more than just Sylvannas now. Keep kicking ass Krimson.
No. Even the devs said in the panel that she supposedly “always” had her powers and that she answers to no one . Wish she had helped in wotlk but you know retcons and such .o well wow lore is dead
Anthony dominguez that’s not what the in game trailer folowwing this one say. You can clearly see she works with someone giving her that strenght
Karl Strud this trailer doesn’t explain anything man . People can speculate all they want but there’s no proof that indicates she’s working with someone in the shadowlands . For all we know it’s just a big bad she met there and she set him free and now he does her bidding .
She’s either a Mary Sue or she was too dumb to use her powers for this long...
I mean at least she’s a sexy Mary Sue and she’s upfront about not giving a rats arse about any living creature on Azeroth.
Point to where the Ranger General has telekinesis....
She sure didn’t have those powers before she Swanton off ice crown the first time around.
Oh and for “read up on it”..
“ A character may be judged Mary Sue if she is competent in too many areas”
Epic level Ranger General/Necromancer/Mage with legendary action: Uncanny Dodge.
Honestly this should show how much she hated the Horde. She was the Horde’s best weapon on the table and instead of taking care of the Alliance for good, she maneuvered both sides to kill as much of each other as possible.
With this power who could actually stand against her much less beat her?
so it was kind of explained that as the maw gets more powerful, so does the jailer and so does sylvanas. not in depth too much but i imagine we will learn.
Without the lich kings control, the restless scourge will go unchecked. There must always be a lich king!
Sylvanas: FUCK THE RULES!!!
Khadgar: ... so the other day I was learning this spell
Velen: And?
Khadgar: It was interesWHAT THE FUCK IS THAT HOLE IN THE SKY?
Sylavanas has reached Illidan's levels of fucking things up. She surpassed Arthas with all the Warchief and war thing, but now she is breaking vails between worlds and destroying antcient arthifacts to break the world.
Shit just got real.
BTW you still need more subs man!
her deal with the jailer after she threw herself off the edge of the lichking fight....
I've been waiting for your reaction video.👍🏻
The LICH KING should have put up way more of a fight.
Agreed!!!
Sylvanas has become insanely powerful though...probably the only person who can beat him like that lol
Eric Taylor bolvar is extremely powerful as the new LK but she is gaining power from an entity that predates even the titans
we have been able to solo him since lvl 100
Eric Taylor lol if we can solo him I’m sure she can
I knew she wasn't going Lich Queen. Why go something that she hated so much and turned her into what she is? As for the powers, the smoke is part of her own Banshee powers but the purple I believe comes from the Jailer in the Maw. I think ALL of this is going to come down to the fact of what she saw when she was falling from Icecrown. I hope Blizz shows us that.
Ignis the Furnacemaster be like; BUUURN! Burn the Makers Fire!... Sylvanas be like; Dude: you lack perspective!
