My reaction to the World of Warcraft Harbringers series, Illdan, Gul’Dan & Khadgar. Another video that was highly requested after my trailer reactions, for me to get more of an idea on the backstory of the world!!
I said it multiple times in the video, but I really struggle to wrap my head around how it all went so wrong, when it seems as though a strong foundation of lore was in place to build from.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments!!

Great video mate. And yes the story and lore are amazing and in those matters Nobble is your guy along with Platinum WOW whose videos also focus in specific plot and lore points and are informative and hilarious 😂
The Gul’dan short was set like 70-100ish years in the past because Gul’dan was very old 30 years ago when the corrupted Orcs invaded Azeroth, the Illidari short was like 10 years before Legion I think, the the Khadgar short was without a doubt during Legion. Since you seem to be on a roll with watching all these u might already know, but, the Warlords shorts are called Lords of War, and the original series that started this style of shorts is called The Burdens of Shaohao.
Whats sad is that the Lore is actually very good. They just always fail to deliver…. Some bits like this is pretty good. But they go ahead ruin entire characters like Sylvanas. kill off beloved characters left and right with barely any meaning ( Vol' Jin). Recent WoW lore has been very hit or miss, its almost like there is bullshit goin on behind the scenes at blizzard, they decide to rewrite everything every patch.

So … this one might not be a good one to react to. But if you really enjoyed the Guldan and Khadgar one I have something special for you. This is an audio play that's absolutely fantastic in my opinion. https://youtu.be/iYAiQkiUsAk It is set when Guldan arrived in Azeroth to open the portal for the Legion and is chassed by Khadgar and Maiev Shadowsong. (Maiev is the elf that keeps Illidan and his Illidari imprisoned, but releases them once the Legion attacks.)
You asked how they could 'fuck this up'… well, Blizzard instead of making a good game, has decided that making incredible cinematics is more important!
Simple as that. I fucking love the cinematics. The guy who leads the cinematics team is Teron Gregory. He makes the best stuff, the rest of the Blizzard development, primarily the narrative team is fucking terrible.
Watch legion in-game cinematics in chronological order for more story
Man this expansion was soo good.
Funny you mention the terrible state of WoW, considering when Harbingers came out, they were meant to promote the expansion known as Legion, which was the best expansion to come out of modern WoW… so technically these are a part of the peak of this version of the game (a shame how quickly it all fell apart during BfA)
Terran Gregory's Cinematics, the Art and Music absolutely carry World of Warcraft.
Legion, the expansion these belong to, has been the best expansion since arguably Mists of Pandaria.
Speaking of which. If you liked thus? You must watch "the Burdens of Shaohao"
The Legion expansion these trailers are for is hands down my favourite out of any released for WoW, it blends the lore and gameplay in a way that none of the other expansions even come close to. Almost every area was a treat to quest through, the cinematics fit in perfectly and the overarching story absolutely slapped. Got a bit bogged down with time and rep gating towards the end though, forcing people to grind to see more story tidbits (which every expansion since has ramped up horrendously, ESPECIALLY shadowlands where there's barely any story ingame at all). Really ended with a bang though, loved the final raid cinematic of Legion!
Legion (the expansion these were created for) is probably the last time Blizzard actually gave 2 damns about Lore and gameplay together. BFA and Shadowlands are just so full of plot holes that the Lore can't cover for the bad gameplay like it used to.
When 90% of the budget goes to advertisement.
What the hell is HAR and why are they bringing it?
Seriously though, it's Harbingers. read the last part like binging a series on Netflix.
Watching the legion content just makes me sad. What happened. How did i become a bunnygirl.
Twice, huh
Tbh, they did not fuck things up lore wise during Legion, the expansion was great
The lore and cinematics are the only good thing about wow anymroe. The rest of the game is utter trash.

What's funny is that this is, what is considered by most to be, the last great bit of WoW.
Legion was good, and ended great. BfA was bad, but after Legion people were willing to look past a lot. Shadowlands was supposed to be a return to form but bungled everything gameplay wise, and rewrote everything lore wise. That along with the investigation soured everyone who cared about the game on almost every level.
