I know Jaina has been in the spotlight for a really long time, but she's still my favorite character. We've seen soo much of her story, but I still want more!
The people behind Jaina that she feels guilt over:
Arthas: They were lovers and yet, she left him when he decided to purge an entire city of humans that will (most likely) turn into the undead. If she had stayed, he might not have turned into the Lichking:
Daelin Proudmoore: She let the Horde kill her father after he insisted of eradicating them, firmly believing in piece. Yet, a decade later, it was the same Horde that viewed her as an enemy and eradicated her city.
Varian Wrynn: The former king of Stormwind always held a strong hatred towards the horde. During Wrath of the Lich King, he helped alliance players liberate undercity from Varimathras' and Putress' betrayal. There, he witnessed what the Forsaken had been up to and tried to kill Sylvanas then and there. But Jaina intervened and teleported us away.
Then during Legion, Varian was seemingly betrayed by the same Sylvanas and died (plus the burning of Teldrassil, the world-war and the shadowlands-expansion). If she had let him, so many lives might not have been lost.
Kinnidy: She was Jaina's apprentice, but was killed when the Horde nuked Theramore. Her death is one of the reasons that made Jaina turn from a pacifist to hostile to the horde.
Rhonin: The former leader of the Kirin Tor. He sacrificed himself when the Horde nuked Theramore because he saw something great in her. Jaina succeded him as the leader of Dalaran, but felt that she failed his trust in her and wasted his sacrifice.
On the far left behind Jaina in the scene where she's captured in the nightmare realm, stands Rhonin. Husband of Vereesa Windrunner, Sylvanas' younger sister and father of two. He died at the bombing of Theramore just moments after he pushed Jaina through a portal he made to save her. She feels guilty, because she survived and Rhonin and Kinndy died that day. In the aftermath she nearly destroyed Orgrimmar with the Focussing Iris (the same artifact, that was used by Garrosh's Mages to build the manabomb). There's a book about all that.
The hair color change comes from the use of high level of arcane, or from the Mana bomb in Theramore. It has the ability to age you. It is a sign of the person having arcane ability in her spells even if she is naturally a cyromancer. I am not going to make it boring on the properties of Arcane in Warcraft.
Another great storyline is that of Ysera. The green Aspect (The leader of the green Dragons.), and protector of the realm known as the "Emerald Dream". Her cinematics are hauntingly beautiful. She along with the rest of the Dragon aspects give up their aspectral powers to defeat Deathwing in the expansion cataclysm. Then years later in the legion expansion, the emerald dream begins to become corrupted by stayrs working for the legion. Ysera fights to stop it, but in doing so falls herself. We then see one of THE most heartbreaking cinematics in the history of the game. Where Tyrande Whisperwind (One of the leaders of the night elf race) is forced to kill Ysera, who has been her best friend for a millennia. The death of Ysera and her soul rising into the stars is like the scene in Dragonheart where draco becomes a constellation. The MUSIC of that scene is HAUNTING, and the cinematic as a whole is just *CHEF'S KISS*. Then as we get into the shadowlands expansion, we find that the winter queen has Ysera's soul, and resurrects her. We start to follow Ysera's daughter as she slowly starts to assume control of the green dragonflight. Then in the expansion of dragonflight, we bring Ysera back to Azeroth, but at the cost of Tyrande's husband Malfurion. Ysera's story come full circle as she protects the Emerald dream with her daughter and grandson once again. But not from corruption. From a mad Dragon that wants to seize the power of the Emerald dream and burn it all down. Towards the end she decides to appoint her daughter Merithera as the new green dragon aspect, so she can return to the realm of dead with the winter queen and bring back Malfurion, Tyrande's husband. The whole srotyline is beautiful, and worth watching!
Ah man what I like is that you say that it could be a movie. And it’s crazy because with how vast wow lore really is, almost every major character could have their own movie. It’s amazing!
You wanted to know what Jaina did with her father's ship that she raised from the sea. She helped Anduin storm the northern Horde Fosaken city of Lordaeron in an attempt to bring Sylvanas to justice for the burning of Teldrassil. Here's the full in game sequence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0yyPz1CHDs. Then after that here's a taste of Jaina's arrival set to Led Zepplin's "The Immigrant Song:.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLIywWX1W50.
From left to right, the friend that saved her life from the bombing of Theramore, but it cost him his (which she feels guilty about) The little gnome apprentice everyone keeps referring to Varian Wrynn – you already know how he died Uther Lightbringer – you can't see him but i recognize his shoulder. He was Arthas' mentor and he and jaine became friends during warcraft 3. They parted ways as she traveled to Kalimdor while Uther stayed behind and was later killed by Arthas – I am sure she feels some remorse from this too since she feels her abandoning Arthas when he was about to wipe out an entire human city contributed to his downfall Daelin Proudmoore – you already know the jist of it Arthas- same
The Kul'Tiran anchor pendant has paralells to King Arthur's sword Excalibur – only the rightful ruler can wield its power. Jaina successfully activating it to rescue the fleet from its arcane entrapment immediately proves that she is the rightful ruler of Kul'Tiras (her mother was ruler of Kul'Tiras only by right of marriage to Daelen, not by blood).
Loved all these WoW reactions and especially the in-depth fillmaker perspective u have one them. Would absoultely love it if you could react to the hurricane fan-made trailers. This guy "Hurricane" makes the in-game trailers so epic that he even got hired by blizzard and makes trailers for them now.
In order: Naxxramas-Burning crusade-"Journey" and last "cataclysm announcement" all made by Hurricane.
the whole whitening of hair is recurring theme, especially amongst the arcane casters. Arthas was a blondie until he turned. Khadgar has a similar kinda deal from wrangling with Medivh/Sargeras.
I remember seeing Jaina calling the fleet for the first time in game….I lost it. She is hands down my favorite Warcraft character, and she her storyline ROCKED in this expansion. I do wish you had watched the scene when Baine turns her brother, Derek, over to her. That was one in which you get the idea of the fierceness and pure power that she wields. It's like she's willing to destroy everyone around her to keep another Theramore from happening.
The Man at the Left side is Rhonin. He was Arcmage of Dalaran and was killed when he defended Jaina´s City Theramore. The Gnome…i forgott the name, was jaina´s apprentice. She also died in theramore. Saw all the people behinde Jaina? They all died when Garrosh dropt a giant Bomb on Theramore. Except Varian, Admiral Proudmoore and Arthas. Sry for the bad english. it´s not my native language.
Love your reaction vids. Just been looking to see if you’ve done the sylvanus shattered legacies one, I couldn’t find it. Still get chills when Uther says ‘time is short ranger general’. This one, the sea shanty makes it.
The anchor necklace acts as a mystical lighthouse that is able to break the magical storm that had trapped the fleet. A shining beacon that is able to guide the fleet home through any magic. Jaina has the bloodline to trigger the necklace. It's possible Tandred could use it too!

how does this guy not know about an RTS with an actual story?
wait a minute, has he watched the StarCraft 2 cinematics? Dude, what have you been doing with your life.

the cutscene where kathrine relives jaina's most pivotal moments makes me cry every time
Ah man what I like is that you say that it could be a movie. And it’s crazy because with how vast wow lore really is, almost every major character could have their own movie. It’s amazing!
Please do the in game cinematic Dazar'alor for Jaina! It is amazing 🙂

((YOU MUST WATCH)) Overwatch Honor and Glory you will not regret it!!
One of the best cinematics Blizzard has ever made!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQfk5HykiEk&list=PLAvBal6KJ5hDQh1hurcAsxSO8JEXdpKOV&index=2
"missing scenes" are all gameplay
YES PLAY THE CAMPAGIN OF WARCRAFT 3!!!!
The characters behind Jaina:
From left to right, the friend that saved her life from the bombing of Theramore, but it cost him his (which she feels guilty about)
The little gnome apprentice everyone keeps referring to
Varian Wrynn – you already know how he died
Uther Lightbringer – you can't see him but i recognize his shoulder. He was Arthas' mentor and he and jaine became friends during warcraft 3. They parted ways as she traveled to Kalimdor while Uther stayed behind and was later killed by Arthas – I am sure she feels some remorse from this too since she feels her abandoning Arthas when he was about to wipe out an entire human city contributed to his downfall
Daelin Proudmoore – you already know the jist of it
Arthas- same

Jaina successfully activating it to rescue the fleet from its arcane entrapment immediately proves that she is the rightful ruler of Kul'Tiras (her mother was ruler of Kul'Tiras only by right of marriage to Daelen, not by blood).
Garrosh did nothing wrong

she maybe pixels but they made her the perfect woman she is just gourgess
The entire Jaina story arc in BfA is one of the best stories in WoW…certainly better than the Horde story (coming from a Horde player).
I remember seeing Jaina calling the fleet for the first time in game….I lost it. She is hands down my favorite Warcraft character, and she her storyline ROCKED in this expansion. I do wish you had watched the scene when Baine turns her brother, Derek, over to her. That was one in which you get the idea of the fierceness and pure power that she wields.

do the one with jainer where she arives at the battle of lorderon its great.
im hyped for you to potentially play Warcraft 3
Jana has one of he best Story Arcs IMO, and I loved BFA because of those cinematics, levelinh in BFA was amazing.
Love your reaction vids. Just been looking to see if you’ve done the sylvanus shattered legacies one, I couldn’t find it. Still get chills when Uther says ‘time is short ranger general’. This one, the sea shanty makes it.

Love this alot ❤
Jaina being sentence to death for treason is the very best example of "be careful what you wish for" moment in world of warcraft lore.
