Big facts. Ner'zhul used to be one of the franchises most important characters/villains, but from WotLK onward they straight up ignored or ruined him wherever they could.
No matter what transpires in the modern story today. No matter that error in judgement, retcons to validate new Big Bads. No matter changes to the story to expand the world. The story of Arthas will always be the best, and most tragic, story in warcraft (Followed closely by the harrowing life of Jaina).
Incredible. How far we've come from "you think you do, but you don't", huh?
Arthas is the equivalent of Anakin Skywalker. Arthas had so much promise and potential but his eagerness for battle and vengence turned out to be his undoing. Such an incredible character
