Vanilla WoW: The Good Old Days
Alright, we're starting way back when dial-up was still a thing (okay, maybe not for everyone, but you get the idea!).
Must Read
- World of Warcraft Intro Cinematic: Ah, the memories! Orcs vs. Humans, the iconic Gryphon rider... Does it get more classic than this? Seriously, try not to hum the music. I dare you.
The Burning Crusade: Outland, Baby!
Green portals, Illidan being…well, Illidan. Good times, good times.
- The Burning Crusade Intro Cinematic: "You are not prepared!" Still gives me chills. The destruction, the Fel energy... chef's kiss. Who was prepared, really?
- Kil'jaeden Defeated (Sunwell Plateau): Kael'thas Sunstrider's demise! And that epic fall. Did anyone actually like Kael'thas? Just wondering…
Wrath of the Lich King: Arthas, My King! (Said No One Ever)
Coldest expansion, literally and figuratively. Get your parkas ready!

- Wrath of the Lich King Intro Cinematic: Arthas rising from the frozen throne? Pure, unadulterated evil. Goosebumps, every single time. Was he always this pale?
- Wrathgate Cinematic: Betrayal! Angrathar the Wrathgate, a tragedy for both Horde and Alliance. Putress and… what was that green stuff again? Oh, the feels!
- Arthas Defeated (Icecrown Citadel): Finally! After all that… the Lich King is down. But at what cost? sniffle
Cataclysm: Deathwing Ruins Everything (Again)
The world… it changed. Dramatically. Like, really dramatically.
- Cataclysm Intro Cinematic: Deathwing emerging from Deepholm. Earth shattering! Literally. Did anyone not get DC'd when this happened in-game?
Mists of Pandaria: Kung Fu Panda… I Mean, Pandaren!
Brewmasters and… well, more brewmasters. And pandas! Who doesn't love pandas?
- Mists of Pandaria Intro Cinematic: Horde vs. Alliance, naturally, but with a Pandaren twist. Chen Stormstout kicking some butt! Can I get a 'wahoo!'?
- Garrosh Defeated (Siege of Orgrimmar): Garrosh being… well, Garrosh. A fitting end to a warmonger, right?
Warlords of Draenor: Alternate Timelines and Abs
Iron Horde? Grommash Hellscream? Time travel shenanigans! So many muscles…

- Warlords of Draenor Intro Cinematic: Grommash rejecting Mannoroth's gift. A powerful moment. Did we ever truly trust Grommash? Debatable!
- Gul'dan's Betrayal (Tanaan Jungle): Gul'dan always up to no good. Surprise, surprise!
Legion: Demons. Everywhere.
The Burning Legion is back, and they brought all their friends. Time to summon the legendary weapons!
- Legion Intro Cinematic: Varian's sacrifice! Sylvanas stepping up. cue dramatic music Was anyone else crying? No? Just me?
- The Tomb of Sargeras Cinematic: Illidan's return! Did he miss us? Probably not.
Battle for Azeroth: Faction Wars! Again!
Horde versus Alliance, who's side are you on? Don't lie!

- Battle for Azeroth Intro Cinematic: The burning of Teldrassil. A controversial start, to say the least. Sylvanas's actions... questionable, at best.
- Old Soldier Cinematic: A touching moment between Saurfang and Varok. Honorable Orcs FTW!
- Safe Haven Cinematic: Jaina's return to Kul Tiras. About time!
Shadowlands: The Afterlife!
Into the Maw we go! Exploring the realms of the dead! Is it just me, or is the Jailer a little… bland?
- Shadowlands Intro Cinematic: Sylvanas shattering the Helm of Domination. Bold move, Sylvanas. Bold move.
- Oribos Arrival Cinematic: Arriving in Oribos. Pretty, but also… confusing?
Dragonflight: Dragons! (Shocker!)
The Dragon Isles awaken! Time to soar through the skies!
- Dragonflight Intro Cinematic: The dragons are back, baby! And Alexstrasza looks fantastic, doesn’t she?
And there you have it! A whirlwind tour of WoW's most memorable cinematics. Now go forth and re-watch them all! (Again!)
