Speaking of the disarming, I think the new version gets who's the hero/villain mixed up - Illidan is the dark hero and Arthas is the villain protagonist. The Original clearly establishes that in the first clash - Arthas is overpowering Illidan, making Illidan the underdog we should root for. Meanwhile, the New version doesn't stop at merely having Illidan overpowering Arthas - he straight-up disarms him! This establishes Arthas as the Pure and Just hero, who must vanquish the darkness of- hurg... pah! Sorry, threw up a little there. For extra stupidity, most examples I've seen of the "villain disarms the hero" trope either save it for the end of the fight or have the hero immediately disarm the villain so they both have a fist fight over retrieving their weapons; NOT at the start of the fight as cheap way to tell us who the "Hero" is.

@@GlassGolem None of them is the good boy here. Illidan is not here because he wants to save the world or anything like that (unlike his preceding battles in w3, where I would agree with you on him being the dark hero). Lich king rebelled against Legion, which is the bad guys faction, that created Lich king. And as a result Kil Jaeden gets angry and forces his other pawn Illidan, who even tried to hide, to go and kill the Lich king. And Illidan goes cuz otherwise Kil jaeden would kill him. And judging from the rebellion of Lich king against legion it looks they may wanted to make him turn good. That would actually make Arthas the hero here because he came in the last minute to save the rebellious LK from vengeance of his evil masters. And since they gave up making strategy games (where this would be a nice plot twist that was being slowly built up) changing to MMO they kinda needed LK as the main boss for WoW expansion to attract people as he was the most famous iconic "baddie" figure they had along with Illidan who was a boss an expansion sooner. Even the two factions of Illidan's army here became bosses for the sake of selling the MMO even though they weren't really evil. Also few comments sooner I read that while it is not properly shown in the animation but it is only in book how Illidan lost to Arthas because he was boasting and unerestimating Arthas which I guess would by your standards make Illidan the bad guy. Nevertheless what I wrote is how I percieve and feel about it and w3 was a lot about morally gray characters so I know that everyone could have different feelings about it and it is open up for a discussion. (btw I am not considering Legion expansion here as it came much later.)

@GlassGolem

3 жыл бұрын

@@tnnetnattninuttn4627 That's an interesting perspective, but I don't think it reflects what actually appears in the story(s). For starters, while Illidan has done fowl things, they were generally done with good intentions: absorbing the skull of Gul'dan's power was to better slay the demons invading Azeroth; melting Icecrown Glacier was to destroy the Lich King Ner'zhul, a "mutual enemy" of the Night Elves. Having said that, his lust for power and lack of concern for consequences are very unbecoming of of a hero, even a dark one. But Arthas? Any good intentions he had for taking up Frostmorne withered a died after he killed his father and slaughtered his countrymen in the name of Ner'zhul. What few "free willed" actions he takes as a Death Knight serve only to be cruel, petty, and fuel his own megalomania: turning Silvanas into a sentient slave instead of a mindless automaton; having everyone call him "king". Even betraying the location of the Skull of Gul'dan was for getting rid of Ner'zhul's jailers. Here's the interesting part, though: while skimming through WoWwiki articles, I learned that BOTH Illidan and Arthas were redeemed; but their respective arcs were very different... Illidan develops a nasty case of insanity in WoW, forcing him to be put down. His body survives, however, and is stolen by an alternate universe Gul'dan (just roll with it), but his spirit assists stoping Gul'dan, ultimately resulting in Illidan reclaiming his body and slaying the self-proclaimed "Darkness Incarnate ". With Illidan's insanity (mostly) cured, the Naaru Xe'ra, a being of pure Light, claims that Illidan is the child of Light and Shadow, destined to end the age demons. And Arthas? After gaining complete control of his body post-merging with Ner'zhul, he launches a full scale assault on the lands of the living. The ensuing counterattack being a means to acquire more powerful servants to conquer the world. After Frostmorne is shattered and the Helm of Domination knocked off his head from a mortal wound, Ner'zhul's influence is removed, and in his dying moments, Arthas is redeemed. Oh, if you're wondering what the deal with the "good" Lich King running around after that? That's Tirion Fordring, a completely different person who was good the whole time, and willingly took on the mantle of Lich King after Arthas's death to ensure the mindless undead do not attack the living. So what do I think that means for the final battle of WC3:tFT? Well, though Illidan is hardly a "good guy", there's a great deal of "grayness" to his actions; and he does seemingly have a full redemption in the future, so having him in a slightly heroic light could be justified. But Arthas? He's not a hero in this fight - and he never truly becomes one in WoW either. He's a slave; unquestionably obeying the Ner'zhul's orders, even as the Lich King's power whanes. Even when he assumes control, he's still a slave to Ner'zhul's desire for conquest and domination. ...Which is why the remade cutscene makes me puke: it keeps ramming down my throat that Arthas is the "hero"; complete with having him use skill and agility to best Illidan, who uses overwhelming force to win - when, based on their weapons and armor(or lack thereof), it should be the other way around!

For example, he could set a trap for Illidan- Anuburak could hide under the snow and Arthas would fight, slowly retreating, to lure Illidan and Anuburak would suddenly come out behind Illidan, stabbing him in the back, which would give Arthas the window to finish him off with Frostmourne.

I am saying this as someone who is studying animation and Vfx- The newer animation is so dull and lifeless, there are almost no emotions portrayed on those faces. Also the lack of any soundtracks/ost is a huge minus. The old one, while outdated, is a lot more lively and CONSISTENT. The main difference is the consistence in each cutscene. In the remake, their moves are inconsistent, sometimes they swing faster or slower, there is no impact felt when their blades cross but their BODY LANGUAGE suggests nothing, as to why this inconsistency occurs. The old one is all high phased, even anime like, perfectly comfortable with its choreorgaphy and feeling

Senate OP for me the biggest problem was the sluggishness of the fight for the new cutscene these are two powerful beings one a demon hunter amped by fel magic the other a death knight with a blade that destroyed entire armies and they move like they are mud up to their knees with strikes that make it seem like they are throwing heavy dumbbells around instead of precise light weaponry

The weapons in the new cutscene are too bulky - it's because they were going for the WoW aesthetic even though the WoW weapons look like that partially because of engine limitations. But by having Frostmourne look so thick that it's practically a club (compare how it looks here with the WoTLK trailer) and Illidain's glaives looking similarly fat, its a huge contributing factor to the scene looking clunky.

And the blade shifts to the left for a moment, which makes no sense. 1:43 Illidan parries Frostmourne, a heavy long sword with extra bulkiness because Fantasy like it's a plastic sword with his equally heavy warblade like it's a plastic sword used by a skinny guy. What happened there shouldn't be possible 1:45 Watch that in slow motion. Arthas is sliding back, on ONE AXIS. He's moving backwards standing still. That's something even an amateur animator wouldn't do unless the camera angle masks it away, but here, it doesn't. 1:52 Slow motion, and then Arthas' head suddenly shifts. Such a move would break your neck 2:32 What the hell is that position? These are so obvious and easy to improve, for a Triple A company, putting out something like this is disgraceful.

Illidan at that point is incredibly powerful, and while Arthas got the power backup from the Lich King, the Lich King was extremely weak at that point, because all his power flowed out of the rift in the Frozen Throne. So Illidan was basically beating and burning Arthas, but when he allowed himself to get too close to finish him off, Frostmourne basically acted on its own for a moment and made an otherwise impossible strike to kill Illidan when he didnt expect it anymore. Illidan survived, but the blade saved Arthas, and thus its master the Lich King himself.

Even though the old fight-scene is shorter, the whole scene is more dynamic and the physics look more realistic - the impact of the weapons smashing into each other is much more pronounced and can be felt to another degree.

If Illidan was already in front of Arthas, why would he suddenly disappeared and reappeared in the new cutscene. While the old one, they just cut right into the tension and just started off with Arthas' unholy aura buffed sprint. Which is much better obviously.

During the remaster I kept having to ask, "is this real? this isnt fan made?" It feels like a fan made animation, but not in a good way, in the "well uh... you tried I guess?" sort of way.

Actually I think the new one did all of the things you mentioned better. More convincing characters, better physics, better movement. Both are rubbish, neither resemble fighting, nothing logically happens in either. It's just that the first clearly had no professional choreography behind it and looks like something children come up with during lunch.

@@7dayspking gonna have to disagree with you. I found lots of things wrong with the way the new scene was choreographed, and how every swing of their attacks bear no weight starting with Arthas' first attack. It's like he held frostmourne in front of him and just ran towards Illidan until the blades clashed. When frostmourne was thrown and Arthas casually turned his back to Illidan exposing him to a fatal attack and they just casually walked together until Arthas grab the sword? And during the slow motion when Arthas slid, his head moved faster than his body sliding - his head movement has some sort of super speed? Those weren't better character, movement, physics nor was it a better choreography. While you think the original was rubbish, the scene at least looked like they were fighting for their lives. The dumb part where Illidan flew up? That was because Illidan was showing off as stated in the novel : “ 'Behold the Twin Blades of Azzinoth, ' Illidan gloated. He flew up higher, whirling the blades in his left and right hands..." The novel had the fight longer but they were emphasizing that Illidan was pretty cocky during the fight and Arthas saw an opening. And I know you basically said there's no point in analyzing the logic of the fight but if that was always the case then we'd be seeing a lot of half-assed pathetic fight scenes from prior blizzard cutscenes and cinematics.

It's amazing how much even just the *background music* does for the old version.

Rest in Piece Arthas, one of the Best Blizzard Characters ... RIP, we know your pain

Always remember: When you face a duel wilding enemy and he disarms you, just turn your back to him and go grab your sword, it is def. going to work...as long as god gave ya plot armor. :D

A good and creative dev team would have animated Arthas using something like Death Grip to snatch his sword in the nick of time, maybe even using a spell like Howling Blast to put some space between him and Illidan... A bad and lazy dev team goes for ye olde plot armor!

5:50 one of the most iconic moments in gaming history

Players: we want reforged! Blizzard: we have reforged at home. Reforged at home:

I really feel that the new cinematic is a bit off. There is not as much "strengh" and "impacts" in their fight... I don't know how to say it. They kinda look like they're faking it. I mean, look at 1:44 in slow-mo, what just happen to Arthas did he just slided back without even being touched ?

holy shit youre right about that, they literally just fucking slid his character model back on a axis, they didnt even make him flinch what the fuck...... As someone who has worked on games, i can tell you either the devs didnt want to do this, or they did want to do it but were so crunched for time they had to rush everything to meet a deadline instead of actually making it great which takes time and money, and with the way the graphics are going, a lot of money to make it not look like a crappy sfm model

And besides animation problems. The fight itself is dull. Arthas is in full plate armor and we know he isn't very fast when he is wearing it (logical, and he doesn't need to because he is a tank) and yet when he loses grip of the sword he manages to run back and get it without getting a single cut from Illidan (one of the fastest warriors in history who is wearing very light armor). Couldn't take the fight seriously after that.

That scene sounded straight out of a freaking soap opera. It has the same energy as the scene where two female characters fight over a guy.

The sad thing about all of this is that the ones working on the remaster/reforged of the game truly wanted to make something great and beautiful, but Blizzard screwed them over by giving them such a short time to do it and a ridiculously low budget. I miss the time where Blizzard would outright cancel a game they spent 10+ years on and lose a lot of money, if they didn't deem its quality high enough (Ghost).

Ner'zhul: Release me from this prison! Arthas: tHiS wOrLd iS a pRiSoN!

He let Arthas pick up that sword? Arthas could have just grown impatient, impaling or castrating Illidan with frost spikes?

Its honestly my least favorite part of the cutscene. He has Arthas so dead to rights and the camera just moves in a way to hide the fact illidan had to just stand there and stare at him. The rest is poorly animated yeah, but thats just such a huge logic fail. Also, metamorphosis is just so weird on illidan, given that he's already a big demon boi. He traded his weapons for what? Being black and shadowy? Frostmourne just cleaved through it anyway. I know when I played it back in 2002, I was disapointed that Illidan wasn't given a different ultimate.

It's so sad - the original wasn't even a cinematic, it was made useing game engine, so it looked rather... bad visually. But it had it's soul. The new one - just nothing. And that Illida's "demon form" - what for?? To show how "strong" is Arthas?

Oh yes! Sorry, I much prefer the original. I really find the graphics of the reforged not looking good at all. Exaggerated disproportion of characters and armor, terrain more than yuck, the characters are not beautiful at all (my god Arthas is disgusting, put the old one back quickly !!!). In addition, in the cutscene, I have the impression that they move in a "heavy" way. It's not fluid at all. In short, I stay on the original. A little brain? ; p

Other than the odd Claymation feel of the new version, the main thing it misses for me is some tense music to breathe some life into the fight.

You can’t help but be impressed by the original with what they had to work with and the scene still looks good.

I can't believe they got rid of the clashing noise from the original where the metal starts to do this sort of scraping whining sound. I always loved that about the fight. That and Arthas doing a sort of jump into his upward slash at 3:32 gives the animation a lot of power.

1:00 Arthas looks like burnt-out Brendan Fraser. Also the quality of these animations are about the same as a 5 year old playing with action figures.

At 1:50, that's where a trained warrior such as Illidan would immediately win - he was swinging, had a momentum he could use to stab Arthas with his second glaive. For some reason, Illidan obviously negated the swinging momentum to stop himself from hitting Arthas...

this looks like two toys are fighting xD
