Years later, when Thrall escape durnholde, he was in the outskirst of the keep with grom hellscream and asked him why an adult orc wanted to kill him years back, and he told grom the exact same orcish words in which grom said: he didnt wanted to kill You Thrall.. he was telling You "run!

Medivh is my all time favorite character and this explains it beautifully ( also the fact that aegwyn fell in love with nielas was a retcon .. initialy she chose him for his potential as he was a great mage and basically used him to gain a chilld that would gain her powers just to spite the kirin'tor as they would get no say in this ... aegwyn herself is a great character to )

[@localhobo5362]

she is cool, but her arrogance really doomed Azeroth, it wasnt really Medivh's fault. This video doesnt talk about this, but Medivh fought Sargeras influence as long as he could, even doe he didnt fully realise what was going on. When Medivh fell in coma at the age of 14, that was the last time he trully was himself. When he woke up 10 years later Sargeras was already manipulating him.

[@Kmmlc]

@@localhobo5362 I would say that when she found the avatar of Sargeras, she was confident in her abilities. He allowed himself to be beaten in order to manipulate ever so slightly. That confidence became arrogance. He didn't need to take over, just a nudge here and there were more than enough especially in the time span he had with her. He learned from the Void Lords and Old Gods that whispers at the right time are insidious.

[@Tiallie]

Also "The Last Guardian" by Jeff Grubb gives a very good account of Khadgar's short-lived apprenticeship, and is overall one of the best Warcraft novels. And the Karazhan expansion in Hearthstone was a fun time, complete with much partying. Fun fact: the Maiden of Virtue was sent to Karazhan to stop Medivh's excessive partying. And as of now, he is just kinda hanging out in Karazhan for the time being. We know from this from the Exploring the Eastern Kingdoms book, but then again...it's an outside source.

[@DIEGhostfish]

THe whole excessive partying thing seemed a rather big retcon of The Last Guardian. I'd assumed when Karazhan came out that Medivh at best kinda tolerated these people trying to throw parties for his benefit in his own house because he felt eh had to and then finally sent them all away.

[@Livikyu]

The facetime call absolutely sent me. 10/10 video as always

[@copyninja8756]

I loved those old novels. Tirion Fordrings was great too.

[@maksymilianziele28]

Until WoW appeared, by the end of RoC the most important heroes and villains of both wars were gone: Khadgar, Lothar, Durotan, Doomhammer, Blackhand, Gul'dan etc. and finally those who died recently like Uther or Grom, to give a rise to a new generation of heroes and villains (like Thrall, Jaina and Arthas). But it had to be showed by the very man, who started all this mess, was believed to be long-dead and who finally would close the final chapter of Azeroth's war against the enemy responsible for all misery during in 3 chapters - demonic Burning Legion (until the TFT and WoW series).

[@user-ep4gs7kn4w]

[@medaeusstygius7872]

Medivh is back, he’s briefly mentioned by Khadgar in DF to be hanging out in Karazhan. He, or his Shade, makes an appearance in the Anniversary event also. So Medivh is around, just chilling until Blizz needs him I guess.

[@stompy116]

I could listen to that Karazhan party music for hours. I need it

[@dannypike8648]

DJ Medivh is something I never knew I needed

[@vengeance1]

Honestly, I don't think Medivh was evil at all. I'm pretty sure Medivh and Sargeras were both fighting over control of the body, making it a literal battle of minds. Medivh didn't have enough control to outright stop or sabotage Sargeras, so instead he had to think several moves ahead (like a chess game, get it?). And eventually it did work. First he let the orcs in, then he removed Sargeras (and himself) from the board, ensuring their eventual defeat after the races of the eastern kingdoms had no choice but to band together for once, preparing them for an eventual burning legion incursion. Meanwhile the orcs fell apart due to bad leadership and infighting, but they too would be needed to fight the burning legion. Finally Medivh's spirit, freed from Sargeras contacted his mother and got her to resurrect him, after which he lead Jaina and Thrall to Kalimdor to stop the invasion because again HE KNEW THE PLAN. Also it stands to reason Medivh knew exactly why Sargeras went so crazy trying to destroy Azeroth, so we'll probably see both of them again eventually.

[@localhobo5362]

You are right, Meivh did nothing wrong, his chess thingy against Sargeras is a retcon I think. First of all he didnt even know that his mother trasfered Guardian power into him, and first time he manifested his powers at the age of 14 Sargeras put him into coma. He fell into coma not because of powers but because of Sargeras, after that Demon spent 10 years establishing control over Medivh. So when dude did wake up he was a puppet already. He legit had no chance, he was a kid against of the most power Demon ever. And frankly he had only 14 years of trully his life, rest was under Sargeras control or being spirit thingy or whatever he is now.

[@daedalus8494]

Finally someone capable of thinking. There's no way a 100% controlled Medivh would've been able to force Malfurion and Tyrande to join Thrall and Jaina. What's people gonna pretend now? That because Medivh's body died, Sargeras had no control over his soul? So it was Sargeras that created the united front that defeated Archimonde and delayed his plans? Please. We know Odyn can intercept souls leaving for the Shadowlands, Sargeras dealt with the Twisting Nether demons on a daily basis back on the day, there simply isn't a scenario in which Sargeras is less knowledgeable than Odyn, so it's clear Medivh was just better at planning and pretending. Even the fact that he was killed by Khadgar, Garona and Lothar, of which only Khadgar is more than a normal person, but just an apprentice at that point, is testimony to Sargeras not being fully in control, but simply led to believe so. Two very important things align with the time of Medivh's death to be a coincidence. The beginning of Stormwind's downfall, which led to the creation of the Great Alliance in the north, and Gul'dan falling into a coma, which allowed Doomhammer to defy and defeat Blackhand. Logically speaking, it's almost done on purpose, releasing the Horde of its leash and pushing humans to the north and force elves, dwarves and gnomes to join up with them. Besides that, he went to wander around as a soul, investigating the Legion further, so much so he was able to orchestrate the events of Reign of Chaos and part of WoW, leading to not only one, but two defeats for the Legion. Archimonde and Kil'Jaeden must've hated this guy. And they only hate those better than them, as events have proven.

[@hectortorres5259]

Is it just me or do I love it when the trolls come on and make the imp guy sounds and stuff just to die lol

[@xXxXxEmoSasukexXxXx]

Best as I can recall, didn't Medivh's conception come from the fact that Aegwynn just chose Aran more out of thinking he was decent enough to give her a powerful child rather than the two having any sort of loving bond?

[@Jhazkrit]

Because they united the human kingdoms, and eventually turned against the Demons themselves. No Orcs, no Alliance, no victory against the Legion at Hyjal. At least that's what the Bronze flight told us. But Thrall:Twilight of the Aspects gives a different reason that could be more relevant and make the Bronze flight's original explanation a little white lie. *ANY* break from the "Correct" timeline creates a doomed offshoot that will simply "Run out of time" if not anchored to the main timeline in some way (Their excuse for how the WoD timeline decayed so slowly by comparison was that the mirror shards kept it anchored) so even if the Orcs weren't necessary to beat the legion they were necessary to avoid "Going off script" and an end even worse than the Legion's victory.

[@Blundabus1337]

@@DIEGhostfish No Im saying, in the black morass raid, medivh was clearly trying to destroy azeroth. They then retconned it to him thinking the orcs will save it... which he couldnt have known... its dumb

[@PandoricaLost]

Amazing work as usual! 😍

[@arwahld]

OMG the party mix is amazing, i want it for myself for parties hehe Thanks once again for such an amazing video, including Moroes gentleman/butler talk, in a not so distant future, please do a warrior video, i.e. warrior artifact weapons!

[@andrejlatka160]

Dude , your videos are brilliant. Always having fun watching them

[@galenkehler]

Ive played since wc1, and I remember that epic first encounter with medivh 😂 Seriously tho, this is the first time I've ever understood this character, well done and thanks from a longtime warcrafter

[@TheOnlyeX]

To add to the insanity, Medivh not only killed Moroes but also some old lady who did the cooking (and who knows how many more) in such a gruesome way that Garona, an assasin, went pale from seeing what was left of the body.

[@DIEGhostfish]

An assassin for a coven of warlocks (And a retconned shadow priest)

[@mintkasa]

the party sequence reminded me a lot of the "one night in karazhan" hearthstone trailer, i love it

[@teshki1449]

Hahahah karazzan music is dope, perfect video keep it up bro!

[@juanandrescaceres4771]

Medivh is not a simple villain... he is a super villain... the difference is ... PRESENTATION ... starts sound : ParacroW - Back To Karazhan | REMIX * , awesome video

[@Pedro-zu3uq]

Thanks for the name lol, the song is fire

[@Pertraytray]

Your videos are amazing. Even after I quit playing wow I still come back to them. Have you ever thought about covering lore for other games? I imagine doing a video on riots lore would be a smooth transition.

[@gurrtug9213]

I realy like how you made the voice lines :D

[@speedanderson6]

God damn this video for having this Back To Karazhan remix, I cannot get enough of how amazingly good of a remix that is. I will never see Karazhan the same way again after that rave set he put in this video. Thanks.

[@allanfrd]

The movie really made a sense explaining the lore for me, and probably for 80% of the Warcraft community, and also did take out those weird "mistakes" like Med'an and the development of Garona, in the end Loth'ar and Kadghar are the ones who killed him and tied the story right to Warcraft 2 and 3.

[@ionutznecro]

You did the same mistake the movie did when talking about how Gul'dan opened the portal: he didn't use the souls of "countless draenei" but the soul of a single draenei child.

[@henotic.essence]

I haven't played WoW since I was a teen, but I'm so glad I found this channel. You make whole movies that obviously take a lot of time and effort, please never stop!!

[@2urh]

19:49 Having played hearthstone on/off for years now, this last note makes me appreciate the dlc adventure capturing the party

[@MrLolguy93]

So, the reason we had the First War was because Medivh's mom got cocky, got corrupted, passed that corruption to her son and the left him to be raised by his father? Now that is a certified woman moment Very based, Blizzard

[@BANANA42k]

Medivh did nothing wrong. This is all Aegwynn’s fault. It’s hard to fault someone who had a literal godlike being twisting his mind since he was an infant. Sarg was forced on him by his own MOTHER. Do not blame the child for the sins of the parents.

[@CarbonFanatic]

What sins, she didn't know she contained Sargeras spirit.

[@costelinha1867]

She didn't knew Sargeras' spirit was inside her, so it wasn't her fault either. The fault lies exclusively on Sargeras.

[@lbcal3006]

Bro how do you always find the most fire karazan theme music remixes to add to these fire videos?! Now I’m gonna have to like and subscribe. GGs

[@lbcal3006]

(I was already subscribed obviously I’m not stupid)

[@cstharlo]

This is by far the best lore video I've seen on youtube, and I've seen a lot of them

[@Aggron300]

Omfg that facetime to Gul'dan killed me I will remember that one for the rest of my life

[@MoonTiger88]

4:18 that is the most cursed image I've ever seen. Thanks for future nightmares, Platinum.

[@hc6538]

hahahaha i had to pause the video at the part of " I'm going to pass out, uuhhhh good night" 🤣🤣🤣

[@nonanimeprofilepic]

This video was great. Medivh is my favorite character in the warcraft universe and was glad to find this video

[@Queldonus]

I lost it at the club mix of the karazahn music. Excellent video.

[@TheShaofThirst]

Great video! While I still prefer the Medivh we met in The Last Guardian, this one was entertaining, too!

[@machoflops]

How are these videos so good and so funny. Dude you are an absolute legend

[@percybarrientos5946]

Finally a video about him, i was really surprise that you didnt make one before 🤔

[@mr.critical5523]

"Oopsie, i didn't even know I had that power. Anyway, i'm going to pass out now goodnight." -Medivh

[@MrOrcshaman]

"Medivh was born a baby" And that's why he's special

[@ycl260779]

4:05 I recalled from reading the book (yes, I actually bought the thing back then) that she didn't really love Nielas and just wanted his *ahem* seed so that she could pass on the powers of a guardian under her own terms i.e. her son.

[@morqesahar]

The party scene was amazing, good job.

[@aaronhewitt6312]

How often do you think about Medivh’s dance party? Every damn day.

[@Nathreim1]

The Medivh you see in the raid is just an echo a magic imprint like the dragon you see before the Nightbane fight. Medivh is actually alive he appears to Thrall when he was lost in the timeways to help Thrall find Nozdormu. We see him in a physical form later in Legion which shocked Khadgar who couldn't believe he was alive.

[@Insertnamesz]

Lmao love the party edit, really well done once again.
