What the hell are you guys talking about? Arthas did all of this in seeking of power. He is an narcissistic asshole, who always just thought about himself, he always could've just came back and not do any of the atrocities that he did. After taking the Frostmourne, it was all too late though. Muradin told him not to take the sword, he killed him, and continued in search for MalGanis like nothing happened. Tell me that's not sociopathic behavior right there.

Willing to gamble your soul, to save your people, to be seen as a tyrant, in others eyes, to save those that can be saved, not many can do that. Arthas was rash and had a hard time to listen to others, but legit, he did what was needed at the time, if he had not picked up Frostmourne, I imagine he would've been a great king, leading the Alliance for a long time. But his fall is sad, and what makes him a great character how they did it. What happened to him in Shadowlands is unforgivable, but same time, him being used to make Kingsmourne makes sense, who else could be made into such a force.

@thefaller01

Жыл бұрын

What happened to him in the shadowlands could be completely acceptable, if not for the Sylvana's dialogue at the end of his flickering soul, which felt so out of place or ridiculous. Plus the fact that more story chould have been given to him during Shadowlands, other than "Look at this blue crystal I have here in my hands, which I'll use to forge Kingsmourne. The players will never 1+1 this one and find out this is related to Arthas!"... If the point was to give some sort of suspense, they failed by how obvious it was, and denied any kind of development related to the character by doing so.

I'm telling you, the story of Arthas has already been written into a fantastic book, now it just needs a movie. There's definitely enough content for at least one, and it would do so well. But sadly, Blizzard would probably never do it.

This should have been the Warcraft movie we needed

Been gaming over fifteen years. Very few moments live with me daily, lich king arc is Def one of them

I have not felt the same about a game since WoTLK. Even after playing WoW up until earlier this year, nothing feels the same. This was hands down the apex of the RPG experience.

The OST music is widely unparalleled, so far.

"Hard*ss" " Even saying his name makes my body quiver in rage"

Arthas becoming the Lich King was awesome and also sad as fuck. Dude was literally used like a pawn by forces FAR beyond his understanding and comprehension. From Frostmourne to Ner'Zhul to Sire Denathrius and the Jailer...a literal elder god/cosmic figure that created the runes that were used to bind Arthas. And THEN they turned Arthas into kindling for his forges. Damn. Just damn.

honestly, watching this again after many years make me realize one thing, the only thing Blizzard never disappointed me was the Cinematics :D

Now thats a wow story

Came here as a suggested video after watching the WotLK cinematic after watching the new "The war within" cinematic. Now I know why the song "Arthas my son" that played in the wotlk cinematic is so emotionally impactful. It's a requiem of a beloved son of Lordaeron... A sad tale of what was meant to be but didn't... The mourning of a paladin, child of a great King, with unparallel love for his people, destined to rule justly over them only to fall into darkness and cause thousands of casualties among the very people he swore to protect. Such a powerful story.

The boy who would be king. Who ended up destroying that which he had swore to protect

arthas saying friend to kel'thuzad is the last time we see him as human

One of the best villain archs in a video game

Arthas vs Illidan. Lovely moment

The battle was legendary

1:41 where can I find this culling of stratholme slowed version music?
