Fall of the Lich King 

I'm amazed by Asmon's ability to recognize any piece of gear and tell us where it drops.

5:18 "nothing wrong here" literal panda in background

Very cool cinematic, Hurricane is always delivering and Asmon always reacting

Even though it keeps the games graphics, it feels kind of real. Like youre in the middle of it. He’s able to make you feel the excitement, horror, chaos, and tell a reasonable story within such a short time

Only asmon can look at a random dudes armour and recognise exactly where and when its from. Man is insane.

Why does this music get me teary eyed....Arthas deserved redemption and revenge, he was used, he was controlled, his soul watched helplessly as his body was used to kill the people he loved.This is too tragic and too sad.

As a gamer I feel sad for WoW players, their dedication to the game is top notch and still Lizzard is stabbing them in the back. We live in sad sad times

Here’s an inconsistency: the large number of male Draenei. Seriously, the women outnumber them like 95-5 or something.

The way Asmongold's eyes lit up even just 10 seconds into the cutscene really makes you understand his love for the game, and how the game USED to be.

Back when WoW was one of the coolest games on the planet

Hurricane makes the best wow trailers💯

THERES A PANDA AT 5:18 HOW DID HE MISS IT DUUUUDE

Why can't they just give us a show or series of movies that look like this?! Screw live action... this would be awesome to watch!!

All those years farming Invincible, how could you miss a single detail from this cinematic? The creator’s attention to detail and every choice of every little thing to show… forget all the mistakes, this cinematic is a total banger! They should have gotten him to do the final Arthas vs Illidan in Reforged.

Beating the king back when the expansion first dropped was a massive moment in many peoples lives. When the king died, so did wow. That was the end

If only Blizzard's other trailers were as consistently hype as this

What a badass trailer. Still not playing. Already did that years ago.

One day maybe we'll get a full length animated Blizzard movie... Course the writing that goes with it will probably be terrible, but really they should put together an epic story about Arthas like I dunno, the Lord of the Rings movies.

I’ve always said wotlk was the best expansion and everyone always had something to say about that. But here we always are just drooling at the eye candy and how awesome this game felt back then. Wotlk, best expansion ever.

I absolutely adore what this trailer does with Arthas

There's another mistake: In sec 0:30 there's a Tauren Fury Warrior weilding 2 Edge of Agony swords. Those droppen from Trial of the Crusader but those were Agility weapons, meant for Hunters.

"Help, help! I've fallen and can't get back up!" Lich King, probably.

Only WoTLK stuff can give me chills like this with wow. So good… the nostalgia is unreal

When Arthas boots that guy in the chest and sends him flying! So good!

That was a fantastic cinematic. So much nostalgia. Wrath was when I started playing, I hit max level around the time Ulduar came out. I wasn't geared enough for raiding until ICC. My guild downed normal ICC a few weeks before Cata launched. Yeah, we sucked, be we had fun. And that entire experience, from level 1 to downing the Lich King has a very special place in my memories. Still play semi-casually. My main is a frost mage, which was the first character I made, and the one I downed the Lich King with. His total played time is, embarrassing.

Amazing cinematic but what is more impressive is how nostalgia is keeping this game alive.

1:24 Human wearing a Frostwolf Tabard

Take me back to 2008...no pandemics, no tiktok, no fuckin pronouns, no bowls of fruit. Just good old neckbeard gaming as it should be

I love how Asmon's eyes light up when we're discussing the glory days of WOTLK. 😊❄️💙🖤💀🧟⚔️

“Please stay for cata”

Dang I love this feeling of constantly throwing bodies at a problem instead just simply rezzing ourselves. That's what wow should feel like.

Whatever they pay Hurricane its well worth it. I'm sure every game would love to get videos like that.

I love how this basically says, canon-wise, every ICC raid was canon and happening simultaneously including the wipes.

of course asmon was able to spot armor not yet created during WOTLK time but he did miss one thing in this trailer, the panda at the gate :)

I would have liked to see a shadowmourne wielder at the end or them crafting it

That was a bad ass trailer. I’m not gonna lie.

I like how Asmon solves which pieces of clothing are from another expansion, but he doesn't notice that at 0:30 he has PANDA directly :D

They need to let Hurricane make some awesome wow movies like these.

The editors always kill it. The asmon yelling wrath was lit caught me off gaurd i was crying from laughing.

This is my most favorite raid back in the day, only because my guild got Realm's first from it.❤❤❤

Yes there were boots and the belt in the game for that set back then. I was using them! Was either a BOE drop and I think you could make it with a Blacksmith.

Those boots look a lot like the primordial saronite crafted plate, maybe just lighting

This is great video. It makes you feel like going through the raid all over again.. all the good moments hit.

I love how everybody misses that the cinematic teaches you how to do the bosses.

First one I saw was right at the end the orc is wearing a Dragonmaw Clan tabard from cata.

There also was a pandaren inside icc in this cinematic

Never played this expansion but watching Asmon nerd out on it makes my eyes water. so cute

God, I was in tears... Keep up the good work Hurricane!

if only the fights were _actually_ that cinematic.

Im glad they hired the guy to make their cinematics, I remember being hooked on Nax and Black Temple cinematics

With the red ICC warrior armor isn't really a mess-up. The belt isn't even there, that's just how the set looks without belt. And it's not the violet hold boots either, it's just some grey-ass boots. He made it as accurate as he could.

They thought for one second they could get away with having 2 wrong pieces of gear

It’s funny how he basically just instantly found the secret that reveals they plan to go to Mists with the classic expansions. The Warlock who stole the last ever Corrupted Ashbringer all those years ago saw this coming .

Arthas straight up captured bolvar and strung him up above his throne. Why doesn’t world of warcraft do stuff like this anymore?

WotLK was when I raided hardcore. 300 attempts on Heroic Arthas was traumatizing. Went casual for Pandaria and quit shortly after.

I would play it just to remember the good times when protret>ret in pvp.

Fond memories here. The guild I was in at the time got so close to full clear of icc 10 man just before cata launched. Tragic we couldn't get it done... small guild casual raiders.

very nice. Blizzard almost never dissapoints with cinematics/animations

Wrath of the Lich King was the pinnacle for me. I hated how warlocks kept getting drastic reworks after.

This brings back so many memories. I was the guild Rsham healer for both our IC10 heroic and IC25 heroic. Verithria and Arthas 10 man heroic were hell to heal!

funny how asmon realized the boots were different but didnt notice there was a literal panda in the cinematic

"Father is it over?" "No, my son. Raid resets next week."

In the fight with the lich king there is a character with Might of Menethil - lvl 60 weapon......the best mace from Vanilla Naxx Kelthusad 40 man

Another thing to point out: Night Elf DK at the end is female when camera's in front, but is male when the camera's behind.

they should update the detail on some of the class tier armor pieces like they did for Tirion Fordring in that little trailer.

3:30 the other varients of the boots existed iirc, the red ones and the red belt were added later.

The thing is that warrior was the only one who stood forward soo he was rerunning the raid until mount drops.

Quite funny that they use Modern Retail models for a Classic game

Missed opportunity to show them throwing regrowing the platforms on the cinematic

DAAAAAAMN! If I was into WoW this would have won me back over. Seeing bosses fighting hoards of players organically, and players falling to their death and shit. Hard vibe

I love how no one, not a fucking soul, has pointed out the Pandaren hunter aiming his bow at 0:30

1:55 gnome got sent 😭

Just a thought, maybe the pirate hat is another hint at the next expansion, since there’s no other inaccuracies. 🏴‍☠️

Let's forget about the MoP polearm as well

3 minutes of reacting 5 minutes of verifying historical accuracy 😂

can we accept a series of warcraft with this quality? I say yes

every WoW video Asmon reacts to just sounds like someone reliving their high school glory days 'oh dood when this happened I was doing this and this and aww fuck yeah doods'

Wrath was peak WoW IMO, Dalaran was my favorite hub city too

Arthas straight up fucking annihilated that gnome in the charge holy shit.

Asmon looking for historical transmog inaccuracies. ICANT

Flying mounts, LFR and LFG as well as all the crossrealm / phasing shit was the start of the end.

Blizzard, make sure you leave Hurricane alone to his artistic freedom. dont do him like you do with your other staff!

Wil this still make asmon return on day? The iconic: " Alas I have Returned, As First Ever Lord of Frenzied Flame. " Maybe he may return..

lol how he mowes down that gnome on pull 1:56

If only ICC was a full on assault like in this video, people locking down bosses while the rest run straight to Arthas. Of course that wouldn't work in the scheme of raids, but it would make for a cool cinematic like this. Wrath was my favorite expansion. I'm sure the maker threw in the after expansion gear as either foreshadowing to other expansions, or Easter eggs only those with keen eyes who knows the gear drops from every boss would spot. As someone who has done every raid from Vanilla to the end of Legion before my job made it impossible to play , i didn't notice the out of place gear. Good eye Asmon

man just had childhood flashbacks lol I stopped wow in 2019 after probably 15y, I want to come back I think in a few months

The "mega man" boot look started in wrath

And then thye make the hardcore version of this trailer, half of the people running away when the gate is breached

This was the peak of wow. Even if the classic early journey was more enjoyable to some, this is the destination everyone wants to arrive at.

So let me get this straight: Blizzard is repeating everything they did in WoW since more than 10 years ago and people pay for it?

Dragonmaw Tabard on the orc at the end of the cinematic

Asmon was so busy looking at the gear he completely missed the pandaren hunter in the video

I wish the game was more like this, it wouldn't be 25 select people going in, there'd be an army and chaos everywhere

Well because Asmon went about armor there where two others aside form he ones he caught that I saw. The Ret Paladin fighting Sindy has Bloody Bandana pretty sure, that wasn't a thing till WoD. Additionally there is one Tauren in the hall scene just as the break through the door (he is in the absolute front and is off frame very quickly) that has Ruthless Gladiator's Gavel (glowing mace) a Cata PvP item.

Imagine the hardest mechanic being not falling off the ledge when on LK fight

The only other major mess up I saw: When the hunters take aim at Arthas, the 4th one in line is an undead hunter, which you can’t make in Wrath.

It was not a mess up it was actually an artistic decision to show you the up and coming future of the franchise as an artist I can tell you that this is done on purpose to rail interest and excitement.

You will rewatch this. Many times

I think the boots might have been "Ice Climbers" from Diablo (thematic)

there is a pandaren at 5:21 why is this ?
