@@captainflowers748 Well lets start at his character. During wotlk should have done around same character as war3 dk era as it was that arthas alone but no he became really one dimensional character in classic-wotlk. Then war3 his story uses so much cliches from 70-90 fantasy books like frostmourne( before SL) it was pretty much stolen from Works of Michael moorcock sword called the stormbringer. Then arthas and jainas romance made no sense as novels before war3 made it clear Wizards were hated and distrusted by all human kingdoms. Then good intended human Prince walks towards the path of damnation and Falls that was a overused cliche in 80's novels and many of them did that better blizzard did. Then uther and kel'thuzad are both mentor figure cliches for that kind of character which again blizz used. Using that many cliches and not Even doing it better than those novels from 70's-90's you can't have a character Be called well written.

“Nothing shall prevent me from having my revenge, old friend. Not even you. Now, I call out to the spirits of this place. I will give anything, or pay any price, if only you will help me save my people.” - Arthas, just prior to claiming Frostmourne “Whomsoever takes up this blade shall wield power eternal. Just as the blade rends flesh, so must power scar the spirit.” - The inscription on Frostmourne's dais An Karanir Thanagor, Mor Ok Angalor. Mor Ok Gorum Pala Ah'm Ravali Ah'm. ( Long live the king May his reign last forever May his strength Fail him never. )

Arthas lost his way when he strayed off the path of the Light to seek revenge instead of justice and the safety of his people. Had he not claimed frostmourne, he would have never turned against his own.

they had a chance to make a movie trilogy based entirely around Arthas. And the brilliant minds behind the Warcraft movie decided to play the super long game and copy the MCU, hoping to save Arthas for a big baddie in a Warcraft Universe "phase 3." So instead of coming out the gate with their best story and character, they went "nah lets start at the very very beginning of Warcraft", which is something even some of the biggest Warcraft fans arent too familiar with nor that big fans of. Such wasted potential, they had a chance to do something no other movie universe can do, other than war movies, which is tell the same exact story, multiple times over and over and over again just from different perspectives. All they had to do was literally copy Warcraft 3. Tell the story of the lich king and burning legion from the perspective of all the other races after youve done the Arthas Trilogy. Theres your movie universe right there!!!

Orchestral version is so epic, love it ❤

Fallen paladins were already a thing in D&D, but whoever wrote The major portion of the storyline in Warcraft 3 about the kings’ son, a great paladin and his dark path to power was a genius

Easily one of the greatest villains in all of fiction for me, and easily the single greatest villain of all of Warcraft. The only real mistakes Blizzard made were not having him be more personally involved as he could've been in Wrath, and of course, the fact that "there must always be a Lich King." That was dumb. Everything else though? The absolute peak of WoW, bar none. We knew from the very start of the expansion who our final foe ultimately would be. Our journey all across Northrend ultimately culminates in Icecrown, a bleak, cold, desolate wasteland, with the silhouette of the imposing citadel looming over in the distance. A fortress of dread. A monolith of despair. All our adventures, our struggles, our triumphs and losses, it all had brought us all to this moment. We pass through the gates that lead straight into an icy hell, and fight our way through to the top, every inch of our ascension met with ferocious resistance. Some of our allies fall in battle, only to be turned as our mortal foe, but we persist and press on, slaying mighty beasts and terrible abominations, pushing ever closer to the end, ascending ever higher to the summit of this terrible place. And there, the Lich King awaits us, at the very peak of the world, challenging us mortal heroes to come forth and try our damnedest to topple the throne he's sat upon, to pry his crown from his grasp. Everything we had done, everything we had fought for, bled for, had led us all to this very moment. A glimmer of hope, for a chance to end the nightmare that is the Scourge. The Lich King was the first thing I've ever seen from Warcraft. This dude was the introduction to it all. And what a fucking magnificent way to sell someone on this. The moment I saw that cinematic, I was captivated by it all. I had to experience it for myself. We will never truly get another character quite like Arthas, nor another villain of the same calibre as the Lich King. No villain has even come close, during my years when I was an active player. Nothing can even compare, in my eyes. Warcraft had gone downhill for a long while ever since Wrath, enough so that it's convinced me to never return. Some of the shit they've done is, I feel, irreparable. It's inexcusable that they dropped the ball this hard, when they've given us pure gold in the past. But that's not going to be the Warcraft I remember. It'll all fade away and be forgotten to time. But Arthas? The Lich King? Now that is a tale that's going to probably outlive some of us for a good while. I would personally hope it lasts for even longer than that. It's such a good tale, that it deserves to survive long past any of us. I was sold on Warcraft, simply because of it's stories. And to the Blizzard of old? You had crafted your very best of them. And for that, I thank you. Now if only the lore and narratives these days could even hope to compare. (They don't.)

Also them destroying his soul doesn't make sense, because if that were possible, why wouldn't all the souls Frostmourne took also be destroyed?

As the expansion we get more and more of his side of the story of what happened with all that has happened leading up to wotlk. It allows him to explain what went on while still not making him into a complete "oh im sorry I want to be totally forgiven". He knows he'll never truly be forgiven, but he doesn't want that, he just wants to find peace with his soul. In his the only way that can ever be done, is if the Jailer dies

And no in-game store or mtx shit with wow tokens or thousands of e-peen cosmetics, or overall trying to pander to everyone instead of the core fans and ending up disappointing everyone.

We All call him in the end "Arthas, My SON".

The appealing of Arthas is simply that he sacrificed everything for the greater good. He is by definition what a hero looks like, whether you like it or not. Yes this may be a cliché as Nietzsche defined this sort of being as "Über mench" and has been defining like Superman and many other superheroes. Is it over-used story plot? maybe, but the human race seems to forget what a true hero is. A hero never get praised or loved - they suffer alone and die alone as their destiny.

It's hard to build another villain the way they built Arthas - he had the benefit of being crafted at a time when the lore of the warcraft universe was still young and extremely malleable, as well as over the course of an extended period of time. They somewhat tried again with Garrosh and then Sylvanas over the course of the following expansions, but both fell short. In Garrosh's case it was because Garrosh didn't fall to evil by trying to do the right thing, making it hard to sympathize with him, and in Sylvanas's case because of the whole "Jailer was the puppetmaster all along" thing, and so in the "ultimate expansion" for Sylvanas she was overshadowed by some 'random' nobody that we as players had basically never heard of, or at least not gotten proper build-up for.. Not to mention the cheap attempt at "redeeming" her on top of it all. Now the universe is filled with lore written in both directions, and it's very tough to just pull some character out of the corner and say it's some huge villain with this fall into darkness without it feeling cheap or have to retcon major parts of existing lore to suit the villain-arc of this new character.
