Dude, you need to see the Starcraft 2 intros

"if they swap it from blue to red now that is a bad guy" funny you say that as when bolvar takes the crown he becomes "red" Arthas is the "bad" guy in this expansion and is one of the most loved characters in the warcraft universe.

"Illidan", the guy talking at the start, was a hero during the war if the ancients against the demons of the burning legion.
However his methods were a bit "wild" and he did something shortly after the war was over that got him imprisoned for 10.000 years.

During warcraft 3 the burning legiin came back, he was released and helped fighting them back again, but once again with questionable methods, so he got banished.

After this he went to another world called draenor where he overthrew the demon ruling it and took over.

Thats "his realm" now. (Though its more complicated than that)

Also illidan was the "villain" of that expantion, but overall hes more of an anti hero.

Burning Crusade came out in 2007.
Wrath of the Lich King was 2009.

Illidan, (the bloke in the burning crusade voiceover) was imprisoned by his people for 10,000 years. He was released to help fight a bunch of demons in warcraft 3. He fled through the portal to "outland" (previously called "draenor", it's where the Orcs are from) in WC3. So now the players are going to outland, and he's like "you dare come here?"

Btw, a quick info dump to Luke and ppl new to WoW lore.
– Arthas was the prince of a certain kingdom.
– The narrator is supposed to be his father who is talking to his son.
– During Warcraft 3(and during the Wrath of the Lich King) we see how Arthas becomes The Lich King(the dude we saw in this cinematic trailer).

His story is one of the best written in fantasy tellings in my opinion.
We have:
– Young Arthas who is in love with Young Jaina while being mentored by Uther and Muradin.
Yes, many people will tell you that Uther trained him how to be a Paladin but only a few know that Muradin trained him in how to be a proper swordsman.
– The infamous Culling of Stratholme.
– The expedition in Northrend and him obtaining the Frostmourne(the sword we see him wielding in the cinematic trailer).
– His return to Lordaeron and his betrayal.(I think this one has also a short trailer that is worth checking out)
– The Fall of Quel'Thalas and his encounter with Sylvanas Windrunner.
– His encounter with Illidan while Archimonde was attacking Dalaran and Mount Hyjal.
– Going back to Northrend and reaching The Frozen Throne(the place where we see him sitting at the start of the cinematic trailer).

Just my 2 cents.

Arthus did nothing wrong!

Frostmourne is my most favourite sword in any fiction!

Really hope someone suggests to watch the Warbringers and Harbingers in order…So he can get more of the picture as events come up…

Your reaction to the last part of the Wrath fo the Lich King trailer is exactly what I was expecting. I've watched a lot of reaction videos to the WoW trailers (which somehow led me to your channel last week due to some other reaction of yours), and the end of the Wrath of the Lich King trailer always seems to stun people. The trailer is from 2008, but the graphics still hold up so well. Combine it with one of my favorite WoW soundtracks ("Arthas, My Son"), and it just creates in epic experience that hits in all the right ways.
The first time I saw the trailer, I didn't know the lore behind Arthas either, but the cinematic still conveys his power as the last boss of the expansion so well!

WoW recommendations apart from the trailers (others have mentioned them already): WoW soundtracks. However, only the short ones, as most of the zone soundtracks are over 1h long, but they are incredible as background music while working! Here are my recommendations for videos (and do try to find them with lyrics for a translation of the songs):
-Arthas, My Son (a song about Arthas)
-Invincible (a song about Arthas's stead Invincible)
-Lament of the Highborne (a song by Sylvanas, the Banshee Queen you partly reacted to in the Battle for Azeroth trailer)
-Warbringers: Jaina (a song by Jaina, a major lore character of the WoW universe, which was 1 of 3 parts for the Battle for Azeroth expansion apart from the trailer)
-A Call to Arms (an epic original soundtrack for Warcraft 3. For lyrics and proper sound, check the video from neo2001ro (best I could find))
-Nightsong (a beautiful song in Darnassian (Night Elf language). Remember to find a lyrics video with the Darnassian and English)

For first question, we enter his prison. he was imprisoned in an other realm

Arthas did nothing wrong

Luke bashing on the comments is starting to be a bit grating.

The phrase in the last video was the one his father told him when he was a Palladin, and a good prince. Arthas' story is the best downfall arc in all videogame history and maybe in all sci-fi imho.

Now we need more WoW cinematics !!!!

Hearing you have played Hearthstone in the past, I what you to react to all the trailers for it, they are so much fun, and the music is amazing

from what i remember, the Lich King is once a good prince of human kingdom. in search of power to save his kingdom, he got cursed weapon and armor that control him became the lich king.

Just wanna point out the burning crusade was 2007 not 2010 actually so even older (and the original wow which you should also watch was 2004) and Wrath of the lich king was 2008

Someone else had a good list of cinematics, just watch in release order tbh, I mentioned below it but Battle for Azeroth has multiple starting with old soldier, and the Warbringers shorts, especially warbringers Sylvanas and warbringers Jaina always give me chills and lowkey make my eyes water sometimes lol, they fit in as sort of prequels to BFA's multiple cinematics

If you wanted even more the Warlords of draenor shorts (Lords of war) are really cool too

If we're talking about cinematics you should definetly check out Opening Trailer from the game Warframe! It's a game basicly about space ninjas and the cinematic i just stunning.

This, and their "Warbringers: Jaina" are the absolute BEST.

Almost need an entire video for the story beforehand. There were 3 RTS games before World of Warcraft. Arthas' character came out of Warcraft 3 and is one of the most well-known video game villains of all-time. The father is talking about his son in the past so the one you see is the fallen version. He was the true final boss of this expansion of WoW and for many the culmination of Warcraft lore. I started WoW in 2004 and the prior is my favorite time in the game. I was in college and played all sorts of hours making great friends and memories I'll never forget even now into my 40s. So yeah, you watched one of the much later ones. I don't know if you've seen the original WoW trailer. Remember this game began its development in the late 90s. If we get technical WoW is a nearly 30 year old game with still massive popularity. I've moved on, but it'll forever hold a spot in my heart full of wonderful memories. Yes, even all you Wrath babies. 😉

What a throwback. I still remember the first time I watched this back in the day, good times
