Fall of the Lich King Ending Remastered (World of Warcraft Cinematic)
Vložit
- čas přidán 23. 02. 2020
- Wrath of the Lich King was the first expansion we fully experienced and the last chance to connect to our roots from the original Warcraft 3 game.
This is where we met most of our friends, felt the thrill of raiding and competitive pvp and followed the story of Arthas to its bitter end.
It has now been over a decade and as our time in wow slowly comes to an end, this remains our fondest memory. We feel there is no better way to remember and appreciate
half a life spent in WoW, than with the cinematic that ended our favorite expansion.

Arthas deserved so much more than being a wisp in a sword.
Well maybe they used his entire being just to make a rune in the sword. I agree they could have done more, but imagine how long he has been in the Maw to the extent that he failed the Jailor and as punishment, his soul was made into a weapon to the point there was nothing left.
@@jarodheuer4171 bro SL sucked so bad i had to buy wc3 and play campaign and literally kill every high elf on undead campaign to feel good again.... Stfu SL is worst expansion ever
@DSVoid Would be better but too late they have already fucked up big time.
SL is a disaster.
@DSVoid too bad he gets the inspire cliche. Seriously, for a character so beloved, they just want to trash Arthas over and over
They missed the opportunity to make him a ally against the Jailer. That's no way to treat your best villain.
"I see only darkness before me". That was Arthas warning us about the future of WoW. Activision just killed our boy.
Activision started making changes at the end of Wow Lich King.
tbh WoW was never what it used to be after WotLK
Or I just got too old lol
@@ManOfScienceManOfFaith would've been nice if they didn't kill him off .-.
@@ManOfScienceManOfFaith I think the same, I was starting with wow on Wotlk and it will always be the best datadisk for me. After Cata wow starts to go down and now I cant even play retail, the story is interesting but the playthrou is just terrible...
@@Aurilndia the story is pure trash right now
I love how, despite everything, Terenas clearly still loves Arthas. He holds him, comforts him, reassures him. It’s a very touching moment.
I think Terenas realised that Arthas was as much as a victim as everyone else. He was the first soul claimed by frostmourn
@@zaer-ezart agree with u here bro, arthas was clearly being control by ner zhul the whole time when he was still a death knight, had he not claimed the frostmourne he wouldn't have killed his father, arthas's only fault was let the hatred got over him
@@thaibui1829 And that's why he should have went to Revendreth
No father who raised their son in love will ever hate their child despite what they do.

"Tell them only that the Lich King is dead and World of Warcraft died with him."
Lol
Oh
Just stop.
All of Warcraft died with him
Also technicallt Dio Brando too I guess
you copied this from the "Arthas, my son" lyric video didnt you?
Take notes Blizzard, this is what you call a REMASTER
I mean they DID keep the camera angles the same, didn't they?
@@blackorwhite1080 yea reforging apparently means making it worse
@@turbotrup96 woo camera angles! big deal, they should have given it a breath of life with the cinematics, make it a toggle in the settings menu whether they want the oldschool cutscenes or the reforged cutscenes. That would have made it a great game but the whole thing screams "lazy" on their part. You know there's a problem when the fans do a better job than people that are getting paid millions.
Compare that to Arthas vs Ilidan REFORGE!
At this point I doubt they will
Arthas expression, his eyes looking with horror his defeat and his death, holy f*** guys, THAT was awesome!
It was the funniest expansion I’ve ever played and a lot of people loved it. Shame blizzard fucked up the other expansions.
i dont like the eyes tho
Awesome it was indeed! Although Arthas is not horrified by his defeat, but rather by everything he witnessed through all the years being ''sucked'' into Frostmourne. This part of himself is what Frostmourne consumed, and with the Lich King's defeat and the blade destroyed, Arthas is back to who he was before picking up the blade knowing everything that has happened until now.
Meanwhile contrasted by his fathers eyes of sandness and a the emotion that is finally over, amazing.
I played wow from the very begining and for me the cycle was closed with the death of Arthas Menethil
*Arthas:* Father, is it...over?
*King Terenas:* No my son, the raid resets next week.
Arthas: Ah shit. Alright, same time next week.
I see.. only mount farmers... before.. me...
@@Kubapajonczek Felt bad for doing it solo during WoD, just cause this raid was such a good one.
DK balancing back then was bullshit, made even the classic undoable raids, doable.
@@MCshadr217 wasn't warrior and mage best during ICC?
@@Kubapajonczek LMAO
Thing I liked about this scene is actually Terenes, despite being murdered by Arthas, in the end Arthas is still is son and he still comforts him as he dies.
"At long last. No King rules forever my son"
Every soul within Frostmourne encluding Uther's lighter part have forgiven Arthas because they knew his destiny was far worse then their own
@@timwoods8297 Yet Uther threw Arthas soul into the maw
@@gamechanger8908 because uther that threw arthas into the maw wasnt part of frostmourne and didnt know what arthas went through. I recommend you study the topic more
@@gamechanger8908 if you watch afterlives(which you have) Uthers soul was split into two, the one part was stuck inside of frostmourne and the other went to the shadowlands. The frostmourne part really learned what happened in his mind and felt what he felt, which makes sense since LK Uther forgave him, as opposed to SL Uther who was still angry.
Imagine if Blizz gave this much effort to Warcraft3: Refunded
How about the end of Nyalotha. What a let down of an ending to N’zoth
Blizzard is dead now
@@VITAS874 Yeap
Blizzard is dead and activision is wearing it's corpse and we have retards who actually think there is still hope for this horrifying shit !
@@RezaVV1 I uninstalled the game. I will get back when Shadowlands comes out.
@@lightning33 when I considered going back to retail to check it out, I watched the ending first and then I saw what they did to the ONLY interesting thing in this expansion...
Needless to say, I didn't go back, huuuuge dissapointment.
"Tell them only that the lich king is dead aND THAT BOLVAR FORDRAGON DIED WITH HIM"
That still gives me chills
,,No king rules forever my son" everytime i hear this gives me goosebumps
"And whatever you do, don't place a memorial in Dalaran where everyone will see"
The voice fading from Bolvars to the Lich Kings is 10/10 perfect. Such an epic moment.
"Tell them only that the lich king is dead AND THAT BLIZZARD DIED WITH HIM"
Pylons it’s so damn cool
"No king rules forever"
How fitting with what is happening with Blizzard and WoW right now. It was fun while it lasted. Thanks for everything Blizzard.
@fafaf afaf that is a long story

@fafaf afaf Blizz has been a dumpster fire for a better part of a decade now.
@@Mazaroth, that would be putting it lightly.
@@thewonderfullymadejaraid7015 Yeah, pretty much.
I still remember the good old days when I played Warcraft 3 being immersed in the story while playing the game. The good old days when EA made amazing games.
To see as both becoming shit and became GREEDY. EA buying out game companies and turn their amazing games into a dumpster fires.

Yeah, thought it was Bliz!! But what a wonderful remastered version. Bliz should be ashamed!!!!!
Why would Blizz care about remaking this
Arthas was the best character in Warcraft 3 and all of WoW.
Yes
No he's not.
Arthas, Illidan, Kaelthas, Thrall and Varian are my favs. Arthas obvious best
i agree
No he ain't. Thrall is the most epic character for me.
Had to come back and rewatch this after that shadowlands terrible ending
:( same

@Rose's Zen Garden you will hahaha
Why was it terrible, out of curiosity?
@@Yabuturtle Basically instead of having a Setup of actually seeing him. All we get is a little Wisp. Check out the video. They had so many more options to do with him. But instead all we get is a 10 sec oh this is the last of him. Its all thats left. Fades away and he is gone forever. Would of been better to see Uther and him talking again even Jaina. Maybe he could of said sorry for what he did. Considering he was under control the entire time. Frostmourne was controling from the get go as soon as he even picked up the sword. It just would of been nice to see some kind of Interaction.
"Without it's founders command, the restless investors will become even greater threat to this company. Control must be maintained."

I was crying of this XD

Why ? It was actually boring + the plot twist with the new lich King was just weak
Totaly crying
I never thought of Arthas as a villian. He wanted to protect his people at all costs and was manipulated by a higher power. He was a pawn.
but he was never a hero either, before he even took frostmourne, he already betrayed the mercenaries he hired and also burnt his ships so that his soldier can never return home, the purging of stratholme however, was a necessary evil
@@luckyabdurrahman1085 I agree. He was in the in middle.
well,that's right.Arthas wasn't a hero or villian.He was a person,who has a dream,ambition,suffering and all kind of emotions. And everyone,no,I felt his story. Because I think,I will go the same way, but without the dog's death.After all, I will live forever.
You can have moral complexity and still be a villain. If you read the books that came out around this time you learn that Arthas ends up overthrowing Ner’Zhul and becoming the dominant personality within the Lich King. He made a lot of villainous choices before and after that event.
I think the books are not cannon.@@ColeKerr

Get out with this new "lore" shit for necrophiles who jerk off to death elf
Yeah no Blizzard’s fanfic is trash.
Wrath of the Lich King was the highest point of WoW for me. First raiding guild, a ton of friends, and the closest I ever got to BiS. I will always treasure those memories.
"You lied to your costumers and betrayed the fans who supported you. What's happened to you, Blizzard? Is money all that's important to you?"
@bob wayne So underrated comments
Your comment deserve thousand more likes😂
"this looks bad where completely surrounded by refunds"
"Your young fans will find only *disappointment* in the sell out company."
Blizz has been infected by Activision.
Holy shit the way his eyes changed was so expressive like he’d reverted to a human state and the gravity of his actions had become apparent before he passed, so well done!
Then we got Sh4tLands
Yeah. For a moment he was the man who tried so desperately to save his kingdom again, not the monster he became with Ner'zhul and the Jailor whispering into his mind.
The way Arthas reaches for his father really sets the tone too; he doesn't say it, but that reach is his way of asking his father for forgiveness.
The only words he says too sells the horror the REAL Arthas must have felt at all this: "Is it over...?"
This made me remember how much they wasted both Bolvar and Tirion characters, and how much they regret killing Arthas so early in the history.
Turned Arthas into a henchman, Tirion into a trash mob and Bolvar into a jobber... all to prop up Sylvanas for a shit story that craps all over the lore.
LOL What? Arthas died in a PERFECT time in history at the end of Wrath of the Lich King for this final raid, Arthas had a PERFECT end to his story. Done deal, that's it. NO idea on what you're saying here as you're not making any sense at all here.
@@Shiirow no other Antagonist or Villain in the history of WoW had the same impact of the lich king on the community. Not even Sargeras, same.he pretty much appeared for a couple of seconds. Not even the old gods. Not even illidan being retconned to be alive amd returning as a major character. So yeah, they killed him too early since he was too iconic and have failed to create another villain like him since for the game and probably won't be able to even if they tried
Arthas had a great death. The problem is Blizzard never let's things stay dead, diluting the impact of everything. Nothing is final so it doesn't matter.
@@TheCapn23 They allowed ALOT of things stayed dead or brought back and it was for the better for both instances, but they also brought back OTHER things that really should have stayed dead.
"I see only darkness before me" Absolutely chilling line.
Have you seen the Uther Afterlives video?
Well, what can I say other than this is a masterpiece.
Graphics evolved to a super high level, while keeping the wow feel, same goes for the animations.
Amazing job everyone, can only wish you tons of views!

Awesome work dude! I kinda wish that you were in charge of the cinematics for Warcraft 3: Reforged!
Amazing Remaster of one of the most iconic scenes in Warcraft history.
For me, this cinematic was the end of World of Warcraft. Sure, there were more expansions, there were more final bosses and impressive cinematics but never again a boss kill felt like this.
There was never this sense of closure of the story arc that started when we followed Arthas to discover the source of the mysterious Scourge plague in Human Campaign in W3.
Good night, sweet Prince.
I agree, except I came back for Legion which was pretty good though and closed even more story threads, they could've ended WoW with Legion if it was ran by the structure of the story alone, but gotta keep that cash coming in
Such an original opinion. Pretty sure that's what 100% of all nostalgia nerds say instead of having an own opinion.
@@SporeShay so because he loved the same thing as others that makes him a nerd?
I would argue legion was the end of world of warcraft. Sargeras was the ultimate bad guy ever since warcraft 1.
@@thodorosxanthopoulos Especially when the old gods keep getting nerfed so hard in lore it makes them laughable.
Arthas was a tale about how even the greatest of us can fall if we are not careful. We can lose ourselves to the abyss, starring at it too long. The Abyss of darkness is endless and before long we too can become the Abyss. Arthas was a hero in life, and a villain in undeath. But Arthas could have still been redeemed and I think he did in his last moments. True, it doesnt change the horrible things he did. The lives taken can never be returned and many were cheated of living their lives out in peace. But what were his intentions? How much of it was him and how much was it Frostmourne? Arthas in his right mind would have never done the things he did as a DK and later LK. It started the moment his friends chose to abandon him rather than council him.
literally the moment he touched frostmourne he became a different man, it literally was arthas without a soul
@@hydra_lisk
He was changed before that.
@@FBI-ju5no Arthas did nothing wrong.

Everything he did as Lichking is just small part of a greater plan to take over world. As explained in whole northrend quest Chians.
Arthas is only a Hero until he touched the Frostmourne.

What a legend. Oh wait....
The emotions in the faces was something we didnt get first time around. Genuinely sad again.
Imagine getting your ass whopped so bad, your dad comes back from the dead to comfort you.
Seriously though, when he asks his father, "Is it over?", he sounds like a man who has been dying for much longer than the years of his short life.
Why this whole Frozen Throne story never been made into a series is just sad. You can’t screw this up.
Awesome work Pivotal, Vertex and Dedrich(and everyone involved)! Was really looking forward to this one and you guys definitely delivered. Looks super crisp but still very true and similar to the original, so I'm sure that if it was added in the game right now everyone would love it.
Hi. I'm also involved and we are all a team on this. Thank you for the feedback, Grim. - Kayes

I am rewatching this now because of the BASTION!
Now begone 35 anima badge out of my inventory....
By the Emperor...
9 years ago i watched original version of this cinematic. First time. And have chills and it was a big "WOW" for me.
With this remaster you remind me that feel. Thank you.
I'm speechless, every animation is a perfect replica but with enhanced graphic, what an awesome job you did there!
It’s kinda sad how Arthas was once determined to save his people and kingdom but he wasn’t thinking straight about how to better fight the undead and now he had become the very evil he had swore to destroy because he took up Frostmourne and it took his soul
He was once a noble prince and now he is the Lich King
"you've become the very thing you swore to destroy"
- a Very wise Bearded man
@kota h make me love both of those characters so much more it's hard not to pity them both immensely seeing arthas in such a state hearing how in hell he suffers it just sucks
I do not agree with that. he just played both sides of the conflict.
one of the things to take into account is who is "his people" and what it means saving them.
the way I see it, arthas feels relieved once defeated. as if being the lich king was a burden to him. one that he had to endure to save his people from a worse fate. and now, with his death, that burden is lifted, for him, and he can find peace in death. even if there's "nothing but darkness before me" even that is better than having to carry the burden of being the lich king.
so, in the end, Arthas, even as lich king. continued to work to save his people. and if everything else failed... he could always add his people to his army. it's another way to "save" them.
note (no need to read):
I hate with passion the fact that blizzard always favores the alliance races. Illidain was a bad guy but, in legion, he proves to be on the good side. the end of arthas showed, in my opinion, that arthas wasn't as evil as he looked, and something tells me that, in shadowlands, we will get proof of that fact when he appears again. will we see the good side of garrosh or Sylvanas? perhaps, but I wouldn't bet a copper coin against all your gold.
(end of the rant. my apologies for it)
Arthas Menethil: Blizzard's Anakin Skywalker.
@@jorgebersabe293 Although you've gotta' admit, two wholly unrelated stories which had no way of writing the same or similar story on purpose yet somehow doing so in the same timeframe is quite interesting
the subtle changes to the lighting makes such a massive difference, especially in the scene where Bolvar shouts from the throne itself, absolutely gorgeous.
Also the little nuances in the facial animations are amazing, I appreciate every second of this!
Holy shit the face movement from Arthas was amazing, it really made me feel terrible for him (again). Such a tragic fate
Arthas was and still is my favorite baddy of all time- the story of his turning and his defeat was amazing- is amazing, and this remaster is a work of art in one of the most feel jerking moments in his tale. Broi, you did good!
Arthas maybe died on the script but he will be still alive in our heart ;(
Hard to see how much those three characters has been humiliated.
Tirion and his great destiny? Yeah, killing some gnolls, ignoring the warmachine of the Forsaken, and came back all alone years laters on the Broken Shore just for dying like a piece of trash.
Bolvar? All of this "I am the Lich King, I must be forgotten, and I will keep the damned where they are, don't even try to bother my sleep", finally be rekt like a pussy by Mary "Sylvanas" Sue.
Arthas? Oh dear boy, you have been transformed in a weapon with a magic nonsense, just for letting Sylvanas says more bullshit on how edgy she is, Uther and Jaina don't even care about you, and you just fade away.
Yeah, that's how you ruined something you setup like 12 years before. Good job Blizzard writting team.
Ebon Blade when Sylvanas attacked Ice Crown: fucking nowhere to be found
hard to swallow pill
@@thecommentguy9380 that was actually what bolvar planned, everything is explained in the "we ride forth" short story. Nobbel has a video narrating It, its really cool for Dks lore and also explains what happened with bolvar during bfa and right before shadowlands
They'll pay for this blasphemy......wait and see
Tirion dying at random mob was supposed to showcase how powerful the Legion was.
"Place the crown upon my head, Tyrion. Forevermore, I will be the jailer of the damned."
One of the best lines Bolvar has delivered. Still gives me goosebumps.
He didn't delivered much more 😅
Damn seeing this makes me so mad how much they wasted Tirion and Bolvar's Story. Tirion getting killed by some unimportant demon only so players can get Ashbringer and Bolvar getting his ass whopped by stupid Sylvanas. Such wasted characters.
Tirion survived that Demon attack. And Bolvar is the central character in Shadowlands.
Turgilmurgil yes I do hate how they just made sylvannas some stupid ass antagonist knock bolvar out and start the next expansion, it’s literally what cata,mop,draenor,legion, bfa and shadowlands has done to make the intro or begin the next expansion
@Turgilmurgil you see arthas knew and wanted to save us from these "situation"
To be fair, Tirion died by a demon summoned by Gul'Dan.
“stupid Sylvanas” 🙄 Your bias is showing.
"I see only darkness before me..." Hes talking about The Maw :0
he was talking about the future of the warcraft franchise.
No, I am not a bot and this is not a virus.

This is real. Please spread this elsewhere. This child needs your help.
Gggh
nah, Cataclysm
@@yukich6957 Cata was awesome.
I think this is one of the most emotional endings from all the expansions.
Nice to see SOMEONE knows how to remaster Warcraft cinematics.
This blizzard. This is what a product looks like when you love what you're doing. This is a true passion project unlike the countless shit shows you've done the last couple of years just lying about how happy you are about bla bla bla. If a few fans can do this then a multi billion dollar company sure as shit should be able to do something similar.
Uhhh... haven't you seen the cinematics in the latest WOW expansions? Their quality is amazing. The expansions themselves is another story but the cinematic are great.
Here`s an example: czcams.com/video/LEV0jmGFRPk/video.html
@@Stayler17 their quality is amazing. Yes. But they fucked up story and heros for feminism companies and LGBT communities.
@@sevgiikarabacak what the fuck?
You clearly haven't played the newest expansions to see how the new scene interactions look...
But but what about 10000% profit without spending lot's of money and effort for a quick buck - Blizzard investors
Arthas' story is very tragic and my favourite
"Now go! Leave this place, and never return..."
That still holds the spot til this day of the most epic line in a fictional universe for me
that moment when things just look so much more damn epic. *chef's kiss* my friend. you did an awesome damn job here today.
The lip-sync...
The subtlety of movement...
THIS IS GOD-TIER.
Man this needs to be a movie
This is the best cinematic / cut scene for eternity, if it doesnt bring you chills, I fear your soul has already left your body.
Blizzard: what are you doing my son?
Activision: succeeding you, father.
Blizzard: agh ah...
Drama Lord Wouldn’t it be the other way around?
@@dirkdiggler8093 no because blizzard was way better than Activision
@@dirkdiggler8093 and Activision took control of blizz
My most favorite cinematic to come from Blizzard.
But yeah, Activision is the Lich King.
A more fitting analogy would be Activision as Frostmourne/Lich King, and Blizzard as Arthas - true, the aquisition wasn't exactly voluntary on Blizz's behalf, but Arthas believed he had no other choice either, so it checks out. You could maybe add the "succeeding" part for Warcraft 3 being succeeded by WoW, killing off any chances that another Warcraft strategy ever comes out. And then Illidan from TBC steps in, telling us we were NOT prepared for Reforged...
This is DAMNED good.
Arthas had ripped out his heart. For him to say anything after being free from the sword and helm is
Amazing.
No vengeance..........JUSTICE
"I see only darkness" Activision official background is dark.
*Foreshadowing*
activision's corruption had already taken hold by then. the whispers of greed and promises of fortune drove away what good developers remained, or twisted them for the worse.
@@flamingchickin or just fired them
Dude imagine if they made movies based on arthas. Like 3 movies to get his whole story
THIS, IVE BEEN RANTING LIKE SHIT TO EVERYONE I'VE KNOWN, seriously, them movie producers skipping out on the real cash, smh
@@iloveturtles693 I think the reason they didn't do it is because he is a video game parallel to Anakin Skywalker. His story was in books and games so it would have seemed overdone. Like they are just milking their good characters
@@iloveturtles693 also, this kind of movie is particularly niche, it wouldnt do well in the box office, even if every WoW fan watched it thrice in the movie theater
this too, its kinda sad, but thats how the cookie crumbled
-Father! Is it over?
-No my son. Pilav will be here again tomorrow for his 1% invincible mount chance.
-I see only KEKWs in the twitch chat.. before me **dies**
Bolvar: "You and these brave heroes have your own destinies to fulfill."
Tirion: Proceeds to walk in a trap at Broken Shore...
and Bolvars destiny is to sit on the throne long enough to be a jobber to sylvanas.
“ Do it Tyrion, you must get wrecked by Gul dan in Legion to make sure people know he is a villain, this last act of service is mine “
Terenas' facial emotions are perfect, great job!
Bolvar: I MUST BE FORGOTTEN.
BLIZZARD: Our game is dying so, we need you for fan service
'This last act of service...is mine' - that line brings me to tears at any hour of the day
that song gets me every time, its unreal
Arthas just looks like a scared boy, it’s fantastic to see that at the end of his life, that’s what he really was, a scared man willing to go any distance for his people.
his heart was so big, he made more for his people than any other human leader, although it was used by Nerzul later, but still, no other human was as heroic as Arthas, he was young, but he didn't fear to go ends of earth even to battle some great evil which plagued his people, selfless
@@RammmFan if Uther and Jaina understand his motive and helping him to defeat the scourge or Mal'ganis i am sure he's not gonna claim the frostmourne and still become a human, its good now that Uther and Jaina realised their mistake even its too late
I love the attention to detail in this fan made remaster. You can see Tirion's mouth accurately moving in the reflection on the jewel that is on the crown of domination! Excellent job!
This is a fan made and not official??? if so they need to hire this guy!
Such great smooth animation to one of wow's greatest expansion endings
I feel bad for Arthas. I can See fear and sadness in his eyes.
