We’ve both individually enjoyed the music and visuals of World of Warcraft’s best (???) cutscene/cinematic ever made. So, we decided to team up and break it down with a fine tooth comb and we hope you enjoy it 🙂

I had so much fun doing this with you Marco!! What should we break down next guys?
This cinematic changed the course of my life. This overloaded my tiny child brain and showed me the incredible story telling power of animation and game design. I've been an animator for 7 years and counting now.
Eyyy. It happened!
ooooooo! I Love this Collab Idea! The 2 concepts in video games are so interconnected to make cutscenes/gameplay impactful.
I hope to see you guys review some more of the greatest gaming moments together, Thanks for the Video!
YESSS THIS IS PEAK
This is the collab I NEEDED
Super cool to see two YouTubers you follow teaming up for a masterful analysis!
When I read the title I saw "Breaking down the music and visuals of my son" so I missed the word Arthas for sum reason.
6:32 actually…its Sindragosa thats buried beneath the ice…Arthas ressurected Invincible not long after he picked up Frostmourne.
ARTHAS DID NOTHING WRONG!!
I watch both of you guys and gotta say – Never thought of this collab but now that I saw it I need more of it.
Ah, the last great WOW expansion. It's tragic how it went downhill from there.
The ending of the fight with Arthus, his dad tells him, "no king rules forever."
What a foreshadowing for the game and company.
Enjoyed the colab between you and Philip. I'd love if yall did this again for an FF14 opening cinematic
Flames of Truth would be a great pick.
Yes, Invincible is in the ice 😀
This was so much fun to watch.
Honestly mate, you real ought to give Ramón Salazar’s ost a listen — from the remake of Resident Evil 4. It’s very… dramatic, lol.
Yess! This is the kind of video i've been waiting for!
What a fun collab! 2 of my favorite experts in 1 video!
It was great. I watched both your original videos before that, so it was interesting to hear what you could share with each other.
Going to the anduin reference, it especially hits hard if you know what happened in shadowlands.
This is such a pleasure to watch. I'm not done yet, and I love both your perspectives.
6:20 not Invincible. That's his horse.
The ice contains Sindragosa.
Oh man, what a teamup!!
I need you two to do a podcast
The cross-over I never thought I needed. Excellent!
16:33 this type of sounds will forever remind me of "Bishop's countdown"
Hey Marco! I just wanted to recommend a newer masterpiece of a game. I don't know if its enough for a video but I though you could do something similar to what you do for League champions and try and just analyze a games music theme (main menu, really) and try and make guesses about the game and what its about or what the tone of the game is. The game I am talking about specifically is Pacific Drive, and it has a really interesting main theme that I could say tells a story. I don't know how you would verify your analysis of the lore or the tone of the game, perhaps there's a really good summary paragraph of it out there but its lore is so complex even having finished the main story myself there is so much left to understand.
EDIT: The song is called "The Remnant (Pacific Drive Main Theme)" by Wilbert Roget II, and D'Anthoni Wooten
"Restraint."
This video felt like it was seconds long. Absolutely love your team up here. The location where Arthas stands, behind him eventually becomes the Argent Crusade Tournament Grounds. Until this video I never noticed the ironic pause or change of music ad his foreboding doom looms behind him. 😅
Marco could you react to oceiros OST from Darl Souls 3? It’s actually good
Arthas actions were the right ones to take in a rational world like ours. In a world like Azeroth, with magic, undead and demons, his actions were the actions of an idiot.
Arthas didn't do anything wrong, but he also did nothing right. Maybe with the exception of the Culling of Stratholme and everything before. But after that he should have oppened his eyes to what he was dealing with.
I'd love to see another collab on WoW cinematics ngl
You should really watch his cinematic from warcraft 3 at the end of the frozen throne
Heavily encourged you do an analysis for each expansion,like TBC, Pandaria, Warlords of Draenor, Legion and so on!
fantastic. love how you two work together. more!
This was a good video. Great collab, felt like the two of you really foubd your stride together towards the wnd of the trailer. I would be very interested to see you two react to either Warbringers: Jaina, or Warbringers: Aszhara!
The Lich King was sleeping for 5 years, until the soul of Arthas and Lich king unified, Until he wake up all the undead of the world where wild and in some control of some minor necromancer or small time villain. Once he woke up all the Undead of the World where under his control. Thats why he was such a menace at that point in time. Undead were rampaging all around Azeroth
There's a reason this cinematic is so popular especially for those that played Warcraft 3 before WoW came out. People were wondering when they'd bring Arthas back into the story and this was when WoW was at its peak subscriber count. This was the BEST time to be a WoW player, this expansion was the most fun me and my guild ever had.
I know next to nothing of warcraft. But I love seeing these two together I need to see more collab
Definitely recommend chacking out Acherus: the ebon hold general music, another masterpiece from wrath of the lich king.
Extremely underrated music pick here: Listen to the Crysis 2 "Epilogue" song, or the whole soundtrack for that matter. It's in my opinion one of Hanz Zimmer's best works!
The fact that they had a little boy singing that iconic theme is so fitting. It's like young Arthas lamenting his own fate.
Culling Stratholme was the best thing he could've done, if it wasn't for that the entire city would've been bleeding the undead out of it's front gates and the events that would've unfolded would've been way worse the city was also already 90% infected iirc and there's no way to revert that so they were already doomed. Not to the mention the amount of torment and pain the afflicted have while they're ghouls, a lot of quest in WoW really hit that note pretty well idk to much about recently since all the zone revamps and reworks but there are a decent batch pre cata.
Love the cross over between you two. Hope to see more in the future.
at the start of the cinematic that Arthas is sitting on the frozen throne is reminiscent of the very final cinematic of warcraft 3 the frozen throne expansion where Arthas claimed Lich king's crown for himself and sat down on the frozen throne.
In my opinion, the story of Arthas is one of the best revenge and obsession related character developments I have ever seen, and I say this knowing the background from games previous to this cinematic.
Blizzard remade this cinematic only using visuals from the sword and voiceover that is also quite poetic for those that know the story.
19:28 ARTHAS DID NOTHING WRONG! AN KARANIR THANAGOR!
What is this? A crossover episode?!
hahaha much love for both of you guys
