Hiya Folks! Really expected more of Arthas ever since we saw Uther toss him into the Maw with Devos. Such emphasis, and little delivery. And even still, Jaina & Uther had more to say for Arthas, instead of Sylvanas. Especially Jaina. Did enjoy seeing Varian & Saurfang pull Anduin out of Domination (especially hearing Varian's voice & hearing his theme come up - after all those years in Legion). Was such a fantastic moment untill the disenchanted essence comes up. Alas, almost nearing the end, hang tight folks!
"My Son. The day you were born, the very forests of Lordaeron whispered the name. Arthas"

What underwhelming Shit!
The first Frostmourne consumed Soul
Sylvanas telling the flicker of arthas to basically fuck off and be forgotten now is like the writers to us.
The irony is I think wrath lich King classic will be a huge deal. Personally I skip most of classic well and TBC and I'm now leveling just recently in order to get ready for wrath
This is exactly how I felt, its almost as if they don't want us as fans anymore.
Single most recognizable character of the entire franchise was just shitted and farted all over and just died the most anticlimactic way possible
@@E.G.I.L.3D ROFLMAO 🤣😂🙃😅🥲
It so insulting. It feels like a spiteful fanfiction written by a fan who loves the character of Sylvanas but hates Arthas.
So they brought Arthas back from the dead, again, Right in front of Jaina, just to have Sylvanas monologue him into nonexistence without Jaina saying a thing
They never brought him back from the dead, he remained dead
in front of jaina and uther, both having a more important role with arthas than sylvanas
2020: Omg omg omg. Shadowlands. How many old character will return with this expansion... And Arthas OMG OMG OMG. I'm sure he will be in the center of this story line again. What a time to live.
2022: Arthas was the most awesome character ever.... Have no screentime and he returns as a blue fart and fades away because Sylvanas is sad . Great Story...
2002: So...this is a story about a man unable to see the consequence of his actions will have on him. He can never go back to what he once was. Was it the Lich King's fault?
2003: So...it wasn't Ner'zhul at all. It was all him. He destroyed himself without anyone helping. He choose this path. He wanted to be Lich King. And now only darkness is before him.
2020: Shadowlands....is this the darkness he saw in his moments of death?
2022: ....not the Shadowlands, not the Maw, hell he never even saw Luthor the Lightbringer bring about his vengeance on him. What he saw was True death. A fate he could have avoided had he just accepted the fact he was wrong. There was never any hope for redemption for someone who did not want to be saved. It never mattered to him that people still loved him, wanted him to return. He did not want it...to him no one was good enough.
If this is your choice Arthas, then may you find peace in true death, where not even the words of your most hated enemy can touch you. Where whatever was left of the good man you were can never be hurt by you ever again.
"blue fart" got me :D
@@Siberian. its glowing too
Arthas' story ended perfectly. No redemption bullcrap. Stop crying about it, princess.
@@godking5583 if I am not mistaken you are one of the writers. Only they can protect this shit.
I love how they just shamelessly have ghosts help Anduin as if it’s not already the afterlife.
I think they're meant to be memories of sort.
@@DaDunge I mean… if “memories” suddenly have the power to defeat a godly being that can literally steal souls & overthrow the entire afterlife then… errr I guessss. Just disappointing.
@@rwade4387 I thin the idea was that the power was always within him he just needed to recognize it. Remember he's not the first one to resist the will of the lich king/jailer. All the knights of the ebon blade did so did all the forsaken.
@@DaDunge well, kinda. Before arthas became Litch king it was Nerzul who had full control over scourge/forsaken…. But when ilidan caused severe damage & nerzul lost his grip over the scourge causing them to branch into 3 factions when Arthas got frostmourne but had yet to get the crown. The scourge followed Arthas cause they stayed loyal to the frozen throne, dreadlords had the forsaken & Sylvanas had the banshees…. Syslvanas won the civil war causing the forsaken to follow her. When Arthas did finally ascend to the Litch King it was too late since it boils down to basically Sylvanas acquired them first & she had her own sway over the dead.
@@rwade4387 Except they have free will, and also the kiights of the Ebon blade broke with the scourge with the lich king not being weakened.
I am definitely convinced now that they are using an AI to write the shadowlands story.
Out of ideas, just spit balling
This Is amazing, and I've played since vanilla day one. Quit listening to asmongold, he's the one who ruined wow, him and preach
@@steadman_walking2866 Oh look, it's Danuser's alt account.
@@steadman_walking2866 Dude, it's hot garbage. They Mufasa'd Anduin's daddy as a cheap plot device.
Did it improve?
*Look how they massacred my boy* button
I like to imagine Sargaeras never stabbed azeroth, and was imprisoned forever. There was a great war, but it ended with Azshara, N'Zoth, and Sylvanas dead. Thrall returned as leader of the Orcs, the Horde and Alliance disbanded, never to make war on each other. And then everyone lived happily ever after.
The Shadowlands never happened, and it was all just a bad dream.
that is still better writing than what blizzard did
This is like Obi Wan and Padme saying nothing to a dying Anakin while Reva gives the only speech
All of Arthas Hype we had since begining of this expansion led us to..... this....
this is exactly like the n'zoth hype and ended just the same
@Zucchini Tzatziki I wonder
@@1Kelvar Indeed
Sad
Im embarassed for expecting something more than this shit
Arthas got monologued to death by Sylvanas, jeez. You'd think Blizzard would've figured out by now the last character people wanna hear more of is Sylvanas. Jaina didnt even say anything, litterally stood there like a statue.
Fun fact: Arthas's soul would have survived, but chose to fade into oblivion rather than exist in a universe where Sylvanas gets redeemed.
tbh, that's what i'm most pissed about. Jaina not taking the lead , but hey wtf let sylvanas have the last word.
Arthas would’ve rather fade from existence than continue to hear her monologue
If the final words to Arthas would have been from Jaina, I would have been much happier with this.
Fire Steve Danuser already, holy shit Blizzard.
Everyone: oh boy I hope to see arthas in full glory. Redeeming himself by fighting side to side with enemies and friends showing everyone what he really was before being corrupted.
Blizzard: nah let’s make him a light bulb.
:(
Wisp*
I was soo disappointed when they did this to Arthas. They could of had him go down the ultimate path of redemption, earn a body back, become a holy paladin. WoLK was my favorite expac, I hate how they ended Arthas this way. So disappointing. Yea, I'm done with Blizzard. Sure he was an epic villain, but even Sylvannas saw the error of her ways.
@@dell051lt Woltk was the best. They know it too. The ending to this just shows how much contempt they have for us for forcing them to do it in "classic".
@@dell051lt i havent played wow in almost 4 years now, i agree wotlk was the best expansion i would have been totally happy if the game ended there in all honesty
The fact Jaina's voice wasn't the last thing Arthas heard shows just how little investment or feeling the writers have for their characters. You can read and feel the love of a writer from their work, you can also read and feel their utter contempt.
Jaina had let go of Arthas during her questline in BfA where Gorak'tul tormented her with her memories of him. Uther accepted his fault in what happened to Arthas during his Shadowlands questline.
Whilst Uther helped raise Arthas and Jaina was his last girlfriend, Sylvanas was actually the one most affected by Arthas and so her having the last words to him make sense. Her entire story was because of Arthas, after all.
WoW hasn't had that feeling since Christ Metzen left.
Sylvanas really did set a lot of us free with this expansion. This cinematic cut all ties I have to this game.
Requiescat in pace
Lol sad, but true. Just hope Blizz can resurrect us for the next expansion.
@Johnathan Lee What are you on about? I've been a true fan since i started in the Cataclysm. But i won't stand for this. This expansion is truly awful. I'm sorry to say You are blind if you cannot see what it has become.
I am with you sir. They ruined the game's best character (for many).
@Johnathan Lee You know what's more pathetic than whiners? Fanboys.
@Johnathan Lee didn’t expect someone to actually defend Blizzard shitting on your plate and eating it with a smile. I earned my Titles my Grand Marshal in Classic too and I left that shit behind due to how the game treats you as if you are in a toxic relationship; until you realise that it is just a game and even more a game that keeps you playing, because, you don’t want to leave your “achievements” behind maybe someday you will realise just how meaningless the game truly is.
First he was the hеir of Lorderon's throne and a devoted Paladin of the Knights of the Silver Hand. He was a comrade, son, friend, lover, protector.
Then he became driven by anger and rage, by the desire to do anything to protect his people and to punish those who had wronged him no matter the cost. The end justified any means in his path of vengeance.
Then he turned into the very thing he sought to destroy, his soul being the first of many taken by the wicked blade he will hold from now on. He became a messenger of death, a fallen knight, a kingslayer and a fatherkiller. He brought death and destruction to the people he once protected.
Then he became the embodiment of Death itself, the jailer of the damned and a King ruling over a kingdom of horrors. His soul, once radiant with the Light has become an empty abyss. But no king rules forever. And when he finally fell, there was only darkness before him...
Then he became a sword.
And finally a light bulb.
"finally a light bulb" 😂😂
This really undermines how far the writing team has fallen. They consistently disappoint in every conceivable way.
@@josephmackie6434 Mind you, he wasn't just a sword or light bulb. His essence was used to create what he once was, what he once fought against, and what he once sought to destroy. His whole being was used to murder and consume the living, and even after death, forced to cause others to do the same exact thing.
At this point I just can't believe they are keeping this writing team. It's insanity. They had half a decade and the writing just kept getting worse and worse. How many chances do they need when all they've done is fuck up? There hasn't been a single good thing about the lore and writing since legion. I don't want people losing their jobs but sometimes people are just not qualified and they need to go.
@@ickyfist What was so good in Legion that Shadowlands and BFA didn't have? Also Legion and BFA share an overlap of 2018, less than 4 years ago. There can't be that much of a difference between the two (assuming they didn't lay off the writers they had in Legion). So what was the difference in writing?
Most of the negatives (particularly for BFA) were the systems, that writers have no hand in.
Its amazing how many beloved characters they can drag through the dirt with one expansion.
That is such a let down honestly. There was a lot of missed opportunity here with Arthas. I understand his soul being so thoroughly ravaged, as to be little more than a remnant of itself, but I feel like some aspect of it should've found enough strength left over from being tethered to Anduin, to still have some ability to at least briefly project his old visage, say a few words of remorse, perhaps a quiet thanks for letting it finally end and fading away after mourning the life he could've lived if not for one mistake? There's a lot between the core 3 of Arthas, Jaina, and Uther thats just been cast aside. Its awful that the closest thing to redemption for Arthas is still in his death cinematic.
Nah, fuck Arthas. He deserves to be forgotten.
@@LordMoonshadowGaGa seethe and dilate bud
They tried to mock Garrosh ny nuking him out of the universe in a 20s cutscene. But everyone loved it so now Arthas gets the 'Goodfellas' treatment. It's unfair, but I think that's the point the developers are trying to come across.
Frankly I kinda expected him to show up infront of Anduin and encourage him not to end up like him or something like that. Ya know a last spark to say farewell to Arthas for good. Instead of just a fart and dust blown in the wind type of deal. Which is literally what they just did.
@@robosoldier11 arthas doing that would have been a poignant end to a once great character but that doesn't shit on white straight males so it is an impossibility in 2022. They won. This is how it will be for decades other than fringe indie developers.
Sylvanas really set me free. I am not playing wow anymore because of lore.
Lmfao yes! Same!
Yeah me too. To see how blizz turns warcraft lore into this ...
Dude Fuck Blizz. I waited this entire expansion to see Arthus and they stick a big fuck you middle finger in my face. Never again will I purchase another expansion or resub and I've been here since vanilla.
Same
Even when WoW wasn't that good gameplay-wise, I played because I enjoyed being a part of the universe. That's totally gone now.
Arthas is the representation of Blizzard, they are just a weak fragment of the soul they once were. Maybe thats the message Blizz is sending us. How the fuck do you ruin one of the most important characters in your lore like that? (if not the most important).
Purposesly. Thats how.
Ruin?
In my opinion this sendoff was the most use you could still get out of Arthas character.
Give Sylvanas the chance to get some form off closure with Arhas now that her soul is once more whole. They could have Uther speak some words but then again he has left much of his pain regarding Arthas behind him already.
@@f.w.3823 yes ruin
It's like what The Last Jedi did to Luke Skywalker all over again...
I couldn't have said it better. This is just sad.
To see Arthas let go like that, but we are just supposed to let Sylvanas walk around like she didn't do a dang thing... I'm done
Arthas will not be forgotten. Shadowlands will be.
Let the last whispers of this game fade, and be forgotten
LOL
Well said, Swaglord.
Fan be like 2:35
The last flicker of Blizzard Spirit......consumed in the forges of Activision
No crown.....no throne.....not even a soul left for judgement.......
I played you.....loved you.......and with each air-time payment became you.......
That is my joy to have...........but your legacy is at an end........
Begone then......Blizzard Activision...........
@@saintmt.3377 Microsoft Blizzard Activision....
I still like the game :(
NGL Arthas having a part in anduin breaking the sword would have been 100X better right before his soul fragment was released. Telling anduin to not follow in his footsteps or some shit. You can feel the rush of the end of this content imo, typical bliz.
Arthas cant appear anymore since most of his soul are in the maw
@@juvenileygo Poor writing
It felt like the writers forgot to add arthas during the whole xpac and when the cinematic was finished they suddenly remembered him and said "fuck it add him at the last minute as a shiny ball"
i would have liked that too. I knew Arthas was in the sword but I still hoped for more than a ball
Nah, arthas fan bots deserved that shit.
Sylvanas: willing working for the jailer and does terrible things for him..... Redemption arc
Arthas: Takes up Frostmourne to save his people originally. Gets Dominated and controlled. Turned evil because of it. At the end of wrath when he is defeated. He seems very much, happy it is finally over and to be released from the control. Gets thrown into the maw by Uther. His soul is then used to control others and Anduin. Finally gets set free. Told to go away and rot.
I haven't played wow since the ending of wrath, but kept up on the story here and there. I don't know if I'm missing something or did they just do Arthas super dirty here.
they absolutely did him dirty
They did him soo wrong. He should of been at least allowed to survive, and forced to see what he did, relive the atrocities he committed within Maw, imprisoned. Who knows though if they will revitalize his character, bring him back. Does a spirit just fade into nothingness? One of the most iconic villians in the story, and this is how they do him. I would favor his soul/spirit to remain trapped in Torghast. That would of at least been better then this crap.
I was gonna argue Sylvannas had good intentions. I forgot her reason for joining the jailer was because she didn't want to go to the Maw. The Sylvannas before and after she threw herself off Icecrown are two very different people; the Sylvannas after is far more selfish.
@@AdonanS Because the Sylvannas after had part of her soul kept in one of the Jailer's soul gems
Dude they said fuck you to anyone who gave a fuck about arthas right here .
"Let the last whisper of your Name fade and be forgotten."
Never.
Give Jaina the Monologue come on. She is literally the only reason why the whole world didnt come to an end almost immediately like wth
Yeah let Sylvanas have the last word about Arthas, not Uther or Jaina who are standing right there. That's definitely what people want xD
Truth Sylvanas final words were amazing
@@TheFang366 stop fanboying over a badly written character.
having jaina just sit there for that was honestly insulting. like i feel like weve heard a lot from uther about his feelings towards arthas, but afaik weve got nothing from jaina???? literally how????????
@Zucchini Tzatziki sadly with this writing i don't think we'll get to see that 😞
@@MultiBahader yeah but goddammit one could dream though
Damn, the new writing team hated Arthas so much they had to bring him back from damnation just to spit on him one last time and kill him off again in the afterlife. You can't have it both ways, Blizzard. Either everyone is 100% responsible for their actions under Zoval's domination magic or they aren't. Don't call it domination if it's not complete control. Just say Arthas got Tik Tok influenced and he was gullible acting on his own after watching 10 second clips of Nerzul twerking on the Icecrown throne.
but arthas is a pawn not evil.
"The urn holds your father's ashes, Arthas! What, were you hoping to piss on them one last time before you left his kingdom to rot?!"
"I didn't know what they held. Nor does it matter. I'll take what I came for one way or another."
Analogous to Lore-followers and Blizzard, respectively.
That scene with Arthas' last sliver of essence, that's not only Arthas that's we all whom have been here since Warcraft 3, the last ties to this universe are now broken forever, we are now freed from this torture.
Imagine bringing back Arthas only to have him come back as a little blue mist......to then disappear....forever....ruining my entire love for this franchise
No worries, his legend lives on with us. May the elf continue existence in the waking hell of a purgatory they call wow lore.
Well, they fucked up w3, I am not even surprised anymore.
I kind of wonder why would've been better, bringing him back in someway and fucking his great story even more? i don't even know.
I dont know if I can play this anymore. Arthas was my favorite character in all the lore. He should of gotten a chance at redemption. Be turned from Death Knight, to Holy Paladin. I hate Blizzard for this, and will only play Classic WoW now.
The thing what bothers me the most is all the build up we saw with Uther throwing his soul into the maw, just to end all of this with all the people that cared about arthas not even having the opportunity to have a conversation with him. Only sylvanas got her stupid ass redemption speech. The thing with SL lore - i could've been an unforgettable part of this games lore, and yet they butchered it, scrapped any good thing we saw before the expansion has been released, and EVERY character, that was important for the lore just became useless. Vashj, Kael, Garrosh, Anduin, Ysera, Uther, the list goes on and on. It makes me so mad, because it would've been so beautiful and great if they'd push those stories onto the frontline of the expansion.
Arthas was dead. And they have done the impossible: killing him.
so he is double dead. so doube hell for him. THATS IT the next expansion is DOUBLE SHADOWLANDS. god it will be a majestic expansion.
A man dies twice in his life.....once when he dies and again when he is forgotten....
@@DeathSithe92 soo.. what your saying is arthas died three times. so TRIPPLE SHADOWLAND EXPANSION its three times the jailer fun and story telling.
They did my man Arthas dirty as hell! Like, Arthas IS Warcraft. Literally the protagonist of the entire two games that we all cherished and loved. You got Freaking JAINA PROUDMOORE right there, the girl who fought side by side and saw him fall to the dark side. You mean to tell me that SYLVANAS gets the last words to Arthas over JAINA!?!?!? CMON show the king the RESPECT he deserved. I swear to god, writers of Blizzard just spat on the face of the entire fandom of Warcraft with this one scene. My man deserved better.... -_-"
lmao what a pathetic delusional crybaby
"Nothing left to be judged, let it fade and be forgotten"
this is a message.

Were it so easy.

@@s0uleater1 we did dw and the message was "we retconning the shit out of everything good we did in the last 3 decades"
It is amazing how in one expansion, well really half an expansion, they managed to completely destroy the game. That is really damn impressive.
Rome was not created in a day, but it sure did fall in one day.
This applies to anything, including a game.
@@cainabel6356 Rome didn't fall in one day, it was a long process of poor decisions and mismanagement together with outside forces which lead to the fall of Rome. Economics, infighting, forced migrations, invasions.
Now you could still make the same argument for WoW, that it has been leading up to this point with poor writing, such as by killing of the wrong characters, making poor decisions through expansion choices, economic incentives, etc.
But Rome didn't fall in a day, and neither did WoW.
@@Smithington_ - Okay. True fact that Rome didn't fall in one day.
How about this one. Humanity fell in one day when Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
Is that good?
It is just an expression.
True - Nathria was pretty damn cool. It didn't really turn to shit until they did this awful 9.1 and 9.2
@@Smithington_ I think you're missing the point of the joke. They commonly say that Rome wasn't built in a day, but that it was felled in a night.
The reason behind this is because it takes a lot of work to build something up, but an army can siege your castle and take you out in one day. And this has never been more true than today where we can use missles to bomb a nation and end its power over night.
The same is true for WoW and anyone connected to the internet, it'll take your entire life to build up your reputation, your legacy, to build your brand, but it only takes one wrong tweet, one wrong expansion, to destroy your credibility.
Take for example, people tweeting that they are anti-vaxx, or pro-trump, that automatically destroys their credibility over night, like a missle bombing the fortress.
So, it's true. Rome wasn't built in a day, but it was felled in a night. Sure, you could argue that it took many years of problems for it to fall, but by that logic, I could argue it took since the beginning of time for it to fall, since the decisions that lead to collapse were formed by parents and elders whose opinions were formed the same way, so on and so on until the dawn of time. It's a pointless argument.
My favourite character in this game is Illidan. But I believe Arthas deserved a return even greater than Illidan had. He's the most emblematic character in the game, how did Blizzard let him go that way
going away is one thing having Sylvanas talking shit to his soul as farewell is another
I wIlL nEvEr SeRvE!
I wish in the future we will find ways to forced things just like these scientist did to crossbreed a human and a mammal animals. So I can finally have my soul back just as Arthas needs his body to be forge with soul fragments and we can finally have it back.. atleast in shadowlands
not realy sometimes thing should be left dead
@@padlockeussy Arthas' story isn't about vengeance. He made mistakes and was too emotional, that is true. He was a young leader dealing with a terrible situation that he didn't know how to fully handle. As events transpired he became more hardened and hateful and took drastic measures but his arc has nothing to do with vengeance.
He chased Mal'Ganis and took up frostmourne not out of vengeance but because he needed to end the threat to his people. It's not like he had achieved victory and then was like, "Okay I really want to kill that guy just because I'm mad at him and even though no good will come of it." Mal'Ganis was still a threat and needed to be stopped.
3:38 ... I can't believe they did this. He was young, Uther had much to teach him and had a strongly loyalty to his people. His soul was consumed by the Jailer to exploit his need to save his people... and this is what he gets? After all Sylvanas did, Arthas is erased from all existence? Are we to say that all Sylvanas' faults were because of what Arthas did to her, and so, he is to blame for her actions as well? His punishment, to have the energy of his soul, the core of his existence, dried up by the schemes of a powermonger throwing a temper tantrum?
A man would do anything for his people.
He gets corrupted and enslaved
Gets defeated and in his final moments finaly comes back to senses
A woman gets controlled, is only lead by hate and revenge
Would do anything to accomplish that revenge
Almost destroys the whole universe
Gets a redemption fcking arc.
Arthas was guilty of way less than Sylvanas.
@@jozokrstanovic9040 This was the same plan for Arthas , excusing Arthas is moronic beyond reason , we killed him before he got that far and WAS gonna go that far
@@Crocthunder I am not excusing Arthas. Arthas was a hero turned villain, and he played the role of the villain perfectly.
Sylvanas should've been killed IMO
I haven't the words for this. One of many beloved stories I grew up with and this is what it all culminates into. I don't think it's anger or disappointment anymore... just... nothing. I am just done.
I'll never forget the once prideful prince who fought for his people, had his hand forced to do evil and was left on the darkness
"Forced." :)
Nah... You guys did that when you won The Culling mission. Their blood is on YOUR hands. ;)
Yeah I don't know what lore you have been keeping up with, but Arthas willingly did alot of terrible stuff. Remember the time he murdered his father, turned against his kith and kin, lied to his men and besmirched his own honor, broke his vows and turned against the paladins, tortured and killed the living and then enslaving them in death, and that time he desecrated his father's ashes to raise a lich. That was all him. I'm sure the jailer, this immortal being who has been around for a while, was taking notes.
@@angrykagg421 Don't be silly. Split soul lolol
@@angrykagg421 Warcraft III lore, the only lore worth remembering. ;)
In Warcraft III the player was complicit in the majority of Arthas' actions. It was only after his soul was taken by Frostmourne that the story took over and had him kill his father and so forth. That's the point I was making. ;p
We will never forget Prince Arthas!
May his soul finally rest in peace, away from blizzard the jailer and the shitty blizz writers. Thanks for killing the most iconic character you've ever had.
@Framon Marcelino Ribeiro ele sabe
True legends will never be forgotten.
Arthas was already dead.
Arthas doesnt deserves respect he was nothing more than a mass murderer and demon, Kael'thas, Varian, Saurfang and Gromm Hellscream deserves all the praise n respect they were true heroes till the very end!
@@zenicehero9154 Arthas was a tragic hero. He knew that Stratholme would turn due to Malganis infecting their grain, he saw what the demons/undead could do and sought a way to stop it, foolishly.
Frostmourne took his humanity and his free will, he was no longer Arthas after taking up that cursed blade. Yes he still maintained his personality but his will was bound to what Frostmourne wanted and he truly was the Lich King until his death.
seeing arthas's ultimate ending be like this after all these long years breaks ur heart he deserved a far better send off then fading into oblivion to be forgotten, in truth he was a hero and his legacy is the ultimate undoing of the jailer i will never forget arthas.
What Blizzard did to Arthas is proof that they have forgotten their roots.
I'm sorry but what they did to Arthas here is utter Bullshit. No possible return, his soul fades. Bullshit
"look how they massacred my boy"
you were seriously not expecting this after what they did with garrosh?
idk why people think a better alternative would have been to let arthas come back....... they shouldn't touch WotLK at all.......
Uther bullshit
Feels bad man...
@@Fleato you mean warcraft 3 and wrath? since his story began in warcraft 3, and ended in wrath
Really Blizzard?? Really? We've waited years, hoping to see Arthas make a come back and they gave us this shit. One of the most well known and favourite characters in all of WoW and look what they have done to him. And what about Jaina speaking to him? She was the love of his life and she didn't get to say anything. You've really fucked up Blizzard. Well done.
But its good that he didnt come back
No one with any sense ever wanted him to come back.
@@jjstraka1982 Your opinion is wrong, but that's okay we all make mistakes.
I think he meant his soul not all of Arthas, just so he could have some kind of redemption, no?
So many people want him back. AS do I.
WoW has officially died for me. "If we bring back Arthas we want to bring him back in a big way", yeah, by not presenting him even 1 bit, calling a little floating snowflake his last soul remnant and forgetting about him.
I'll just say this: The people who came to WoW in the first place were mostly influenced by Warcraft 3 before, at least a majority of people. Arthas was an incredible character who carried the game's success for years, and now this is how he dissapears.. No redemption, no real conclusion, nothing but an excuse for Simpvanas to give a lame dramatic monologue...
I am sick of this company and I want it to burn.
I feel you @Unwise ...
not playing WOW no more...
@Zucchini Tzatziki Well, if even half the rumors of what MS wants to do to Blizzard, once the acquisition completes summer 2023,..... you might just get your wish.
Gods damnit, if Varian and Saurfang had been there to help, but it wasn't enough, then Arthas's hands settled on Anduin's and he whispered
*"Don't be like me."*
And helped Anduin rip it in half, that would have been so much better.
"And with each selfish act, became you."
No, Sylvanas. Arthas wasn't stupid enough to trust a guy named The Jailer, who is running a prison, who becomes more powerful the more people he puts into that prison, to set everyone free. That was your grand plan.
"I will never serve!" has served for most of her life...and well after-life. What an absolute fucking circus. Get rid of this lady already.
He trusted a guy named lich king tbh “helm of domination”
@@g.henriquecosta983 He actually was already under domination, the mourneblade is when he went from "harsh but justifiable" to "OK I'm a total psycho". The fact that they addressed all this in the expansion but still tried to make Sylvanas a tragic hero is what pisses me off. Arthas was controlled by a force way beyond his control.....she wasn't but we are supposed to let the monster give the innocent absolution? Fuck that.
Yeah, he just trusted a guy named the Lich King, who was annihilating Arthas' own people, and who became more powerful the more people Arthas slew in either the Light's name or the Lich King's, and a lot of that was before he even touched Frostmourne.
TFW you realize Blizzard's writing was always shitty, and they went to "good guy we know gets corrupted so you can fight them, even though we don't exactly know what that corruption means in terms of their free will" at literally every possible chance they could in all three of their franchises. Folks wrinkle their noses now only because it's the popular thing to do. But they've been doing this lazy-ass gothic forced betrayal trope since Medivh in WC2, Kerrigan in SC1, and even Izual's and Leoric's stories in the D1 manual. They literally have never known how to write any other story, nor how to do it in a way that bears the weight of any scrutiny.
@@g.henriquecosta983 Burrão kkkk Não tem nem como comparar as duas situações

HAH. Yeah, right. As if he is ever gonna be forgotten by any of us, or them. Jeez, way to kill the only hype about the damn expansion.
My favorite part is their promise that they weren't going to ruin the character. Whelp. Looks like they went back on that too

@@f.w.3823 From what I hear, the reason it's so low budget is that it was basically a last minute addition by some of the devs begging to give Garrosh some sort of conclusion rather than just not mentioning him.
At least Garrosh went out dying for what he believed in. Even though I would have loved to see him return in the story. Especially with Arthas. Such potential, such hurt.
When you burn an entire city full of innocent people & children then call it “selfish decisions” so it doesn’t sound as bad. It was so empty emotionally. Janna didn’t say anything, Calia wasn’t even there & Arthas just dispersed like a fart.
They really outdid themselves this time.
I'll take a picture of how I worried about Arthas in strategy. I really hoped that his soul would be released throughout the whole time. This only happened in WOTLK. I cried over the ending, but consoled myself with the fact that his soul was finally free. In SL I was really looking forward to meeting him ... and now that it happened, I'm so sorry that it happened at all. It would be better to leave the ending WOTLK. I feel devastated. Arthas always wanted good for his people, and being left alone on emotions, he began to do stupid things. He was young, emotional, but he was not evil. The legend is dead. He didn't get what he really deserved.
Arthas forgotten? Never. Not by us players... they definitely ruined his character legacy. Least they could have done was let him be in he maw so maybe one day we could see him again
No, better it this way then something dumber. I never wanted Arthas back alive in some form not while this writing is present.

I'm now 100% convinced someone on the writing team is extremely bitter at what WoW has become and that Arthas scene was him replacing Arthas for the game. "Nothing left to be judged, let it fade and be forgotten". Pretty sure that's what we all think of it.
Wouldn't be the first time someone did that
so mad aye. how dare they shit on the best character they ever made
Highly possible. Rumours claim that the reason why Garrosh and Sylvanas did complete 180 degrees at different points was due to Kosak and Afrasiabi disliking each other, so to irritate each other, they'd make the other person's favourite character do horrific actions, like turning Garrosh crazy in MoP and have Sylvanas burn down Teldrassil. If the same pettiness still exists today (of course it does), then I'd not be surprised that'd do something like that.
Danuser is destroying everything metzen made while making his headcannon fanfic a reality in the game.
thats how the diablo 3 team treated cain from diablo 2, they wanted to 'mark their territory' -atleast that how it seems to me, giving such iconic characters poor fates... Isn't that what writers in tv shows do too? If the actor pisses director/writer off they kill them in a really over the top fashion, there's a few TV shows that it happens (you can youtube it)

It’s fitting that arthas was a blue ball because I’m pretty sure that’s what everybody feels after waiting for him to make an appearance and being rewarded with this disappointment.
What a complete embarrassment and disrespect for one of their most iconic characters. Sylvanas gets redemption but not Arthas? and they shove her down our throats for multiple expansions and even now she is the center of attention when addressing his spirit, and not Uther or Jaina? Hope they get a backlash for this abomination of a cinematic and shit written story.

How come Arthas gets treated like that by the writers while Sylvanas gets redemption and gets to continue existing when she went through the same crap as Arthas?!
She did worse then he ever did
She was so far worse than Arthas
After long pointless convoluted expositions with the afterlife and the build up from war for a whole expansion..
This feels like nothing more than an excuse for a Sylvanas redemption story - a very long one too since it lasted 2 expansions technically. I think trying to redeem her would be good, but the story and the expansions just kind of suck.
She did everything Arthas did and more. She was far worse than Arthas.
Good to see Anduin reunited with his dad over the sword. Plus seeing Varian was kinda cool. RIP WoW you died a horrible death.
2:25 is chills, even to this day that chant from the Lich King expansion is legendary.
When I started playing warcraft 3 around 2008-2009, I played as Arthas in human and undead campaign leading up to frozen throne, I was sad and heart broken how Arthas turned into evil character. I was a kid back then I had 0 knowledge about World of Warcraft existed I had major breakdown in real life after I broke up with my girlfriend and was broken and sad. Then I found world of warcraft wrath of the lich king and I was so happy then once again I was able to relive warcraft 3 story not able to play as Arthas but it was an honor to play a expansion as DK along side him then we tried to save him but in the end we had to kill him and that was very hard moment looking my childhood character die and I'm the one doing that but thanks to Arthas that brought me into World of Warcraft universe. And today after seeing him how he's treated just broke my heart I wanted him to return as DK if not at least we could get good side of Arthas and a last farewell from him. Forever our king, gone but not forgotten, Arthas Menethil, death knight and The Lich King, thanks for memories.
"Forever our king, gone but not forgotten, Arthas Menethil, death knight and The Lich King, thanks for memories"

It's because the shit writers at Blizzard want to 'carve their own way' - it's very common when writers take over a long running story in comic books.
They want to put their own 'mark' on things, so inevitably they shit all over the existing stuff and make their own trash characters.
Now we live in the age of the SJW so they are trying to make all these strong womynx and it just falls flat
Finally. WOW has met its end just like Arthas did. Just a flicker of what it used to be and blown away like dust in the wind.
Thanks so much Blizz for ruining a wonderful story and years of play for all of us.
Everyone: We get to see Arthas and some sort of redemption!
Blizzard: Nope, you're gonna get blue ballz

Can I just say. The way Arthas is treated here. No matter how bad or dissatisfying it may be. That VERY dissatisfaction of us not seeing more of him is in a strange way, human. The way we really wish we could have said more to a dead person and never got the chance to do it makes this somewhat realistic (with the exceptions of pretty much ANYTHING ELSE in wow, especially with shadowlands). This maybe a cinematic I both hate and yet understand.
Also, if we DID see more of Arthas. He would be milked out WAAAY to much considering of what happened to everyone else here.
as arthas vanish into oblivion so does my love for this game, what once was a great story now only remains a flickering shard of what it was, bye arthas... bye world of warcraft

2:45 - "No crown, no throne, not even a soul left for judgemant...". The most heartbraking speach I've ever heard in this game.
Imagine buying the whole expansion and playing through just to see a flicker of arthas. This expansion brought you all of your favorite characters and told you to flick off in the same sentence. Basically severing all ties to whatever nostalgic remembrance you had with this game. Those of us from 2004 know what I'm talking about
Varian the dude that soul should be decimated has a full body but arthas a ball?

@@garroshhellscream594 Garrosh Hellscream died in WoW, only to be reincarnated in the real world to comment. XD
Exactly what I was looking for. Props for the catchup movie too.
And just like that, the tiny flicker of love and hope we have for this franchise fade away, just like how Arthas is portrayed. Fitting, I suppose.
Arthas should have been handled in one of two ways in my mind. 1) Have us save his now uncorrupted soul from the Maw at the end of the initial content so that he becomes an Illidan in Legion-type figure, using his connection to and knowledge of the Jailer to help defeat him, while trying to make amends with all the character's he's hurt like Sylvanas, Jaina, and Uther, to differing results. Or 2) Have him fully possess Anduin, taking over his body and repeatedly talking through him with the explanation that the Jailer has dominated his soul and forced him into servitude. Then when Anduin splits the blade and becomes free, we also see Arthas' soul but in his full form, weak and broken. The characters say one last goodbye to him that they never got to say back in WOTLK, and he fades away with a certain sadness of what the Jailer turned him into and forced him to do.
With this it feels like they were too scared to bring him back fully, but also too scared to not have him in an expansion literally about death and the origins of the Lich King. Like if they were too scared, then maybe they shouldn't have made this expansion in the first place!
You are 100% right
and i would have subbed for either of those 2 outcomes. Not what we got, good thing i didnt' sub had a bad feeling.
this wasn't fear this was very much what leaks from others who work at blizzard have said, the current writing team have a twitter/tumblr esc hatred of the fans, community and writing that came before them and as a petty and salty little "F you" towards them have been actively taking steps to retconed and destroy lore and fan favorite characters to try and erase what their far better peers had created and wrote, this is one petulant little temper tantrum at the fans who have been pointing out how terrible the current staffs writing is and are not swallowing their crappy sylvanas redemption fanfic crap by trying to destroy the previous iteration of lore and replacing it with their own.....
Should have made him into a half human half torn spirit like Shadows of Mordor
@Spockman : Even better build up for the first option :D---when Anduin split his sword, this break's the jailer's domination, BUT the changes to the sword are somewhat permanent--you catch a glimpse of Arthas's ghost appear around that soul fragment...as it fades, you see it settle into one half of the blade....in this case his soul is now uncorrupted, BUT is still so damaged that it can only exist as part of Anduin's blade. This would allow him to appear as needed to try and make his amends, and offer knowledge regarding the jailer?
Well Blizzard may have forgotten one of their greatest characters which helped the WoW to became what it was,but players did not and it’s so disappointing to see something like this be called "Arthas Ending" come on it would be better than to just let him be forever lost in the Maw

@@tobiasblack1749 True, there is no other more iconic character in entire Warcraft universe. If we had to pick one, it would without a question be Arthas.

Imagine instead of this . Arthas would have been the one appearing in Anduin s mind tell him that's not his burden to carry That being the lich king has been always his destiny. He Free s Anduin and says : ask only the world , my friends to see what I could have been through you .. for you are the proud son of your father . as ghosts from Arthas past along jaina , Uther and his father stands before him for a final good bye and gratitude as his spirit flies into the maw . To finally be decided to be the new jailer of the dead instead of Zoval .
Farewell Arthas, you suffered enough rest now.
i waited so long to see something about arthas and then they kill him off like a fly on a shit??..... i'm so happy i quit months ago. the cringy predictable story telling full of plot armor just makes you gag.
If anything this was not predictable but I stand with you in terms of how they treated Arthas and how silly this lore has turned out to be in recent years. I too quit wow years ago and I was there since day 1 and the second wow went live.
Two things:
One, Saurfang's soul is meant to be a trinket. People could loot it from Sylvanas last tier. Varian's soul was also entirely destroyed by Gul'dan. Neither should be able to manifest. But not only that, they appear as ghosts of ghosts. We're in the afterlife already, why the fuck aren't they actually touchable like Kleia and Pelagos?
Two: Arthas didn't get shit on as much as I thought he was, but he was still shit on hard. He manifested as a Kyrian fart then vanished after Sylvanas monologued whilst other people important to him either said nothing (Jaina) or weren't even there at all (Calia).
I'm so glad I quit this dogshit. I'm so glad I only get to see them shitting on the game, rather than experience them shitting on the game.
varians soul being completly destroys is just your headcanon
1.- not souls, they are memories, 2.- arthas soul was just a fragment trapped in mournblade, we dont know where he is.
@@Gslayer5 Fel consumes the soul. Besides even if you wave that off as trivial he hasn't show up the entire time. At least Saurfang soul was preserved in that trinket cause he probably would have ended up like Arthas. Regardless the point still stands that only Sylvanas had something to say when other people there were just as aggrieved by Arthas. Jaina once loved Arthas as a lover and Uther once loved Arthas as a father. The cannon up till shadowlands was Arthas was fully aware and willingly did all the terrible stuff he did. I've stopped playing so I don't know what else they retconned for 9.2, but having the Jailer be the puppet master doesn't retcon the weight the other characters carried since Arthas' death. And before you get up in arms the lore with Arthas has been solidified with time, and the only ones changing things are blizzard to fit this mess of a expansion. Yeah who cares about the unlikely event Saurfang and Varian show up, everyone should care that other characters didn't have a chance to vocalize their closure in this scene.

"But your legacy is at an end. Be gone then, Blizzard. May the last of your name fade...and be forgotten."

Its really that these characters are dressed up as fuck to hide the fact they are blander than stale crackers. Idk why I was hoping for something good here but they even managed to fuck up Anduin's vision by including Saurfang. This feels more like a plot to the fucking carebears.
Arthas already had the end he deserved.
It was made clear long ago Artha's spirit was shattered beyond redemption. That was over 10 years ago. The idea the "end" of his story was taking place in Shadowlands is preposterous.
I can’t believe people would want this team and writers to have given him a bigger role. It was a mercy that this garbage was all they did with him if you really think about it.
@@Nami How? Everything he was doing was in order to save his kingdom and it’s people until he picked up a sword and was dominated by the Jailer ever since.
Arthas: literally abandoned by every ally and pushed to evil only afterwards (friendly reminder that the purge was necessary) *gets no redemption and no one recognise their mistake in treating him*
Sylvanas: literally 2 expansions as her story arc.
Ok
Arthas: forced to commit evil against his will by higher powers
Sylvanas: willingly committed evil deeds to get revenge, then willingly allied with the same evil powers that manipulated Arthas so she wouldn't go to Hell for the evil deeds she willingly committed.

The people who blamed Afrasiabi for ruining Sylvanas have IMO been discredited. Danuser has had multiple opportunities to fix this and he's only made it worse. At this point I believe Danuser and the lore team know the fans hate the arc they made for Sylvanas and tried to blame Afrasiabi, who was on the way out.
Arthas never be FORGOTTEN
Who?
I am currently making my way through the last stretch of the Shadowbringers 5.3 story and seeing this cinematic just... makes me feel nothing. Not anger, not apathy, not disgust, not even a sense of betrayal. It's ... pitiful what they've done with the story of these characters and it's just sad to think what they COULD have done had they better story writers.
I cried.
@@slaughteringgg Cried when? During this cinematic or during 5.3? I would understand crying @ 5.3 (haven't reached that specific part yet, still need to get through the Trial), I would not understand crying at this cinematic, as there it's pretty soulless overall.
If you are receptive to its themes, shadowbringers can hit pretty hard in the feels.
Interestingly enough, Sylvanas, Jaina and Uther are 3 of the 5 characters that react (and reward something) when defeating Arthas in ICC for the Shadowmourne questline. The others are Darion Mograine and Muradin. Sylvanas, Uther and Jaina are also the only 3 characters present at the Halls of Reflection dungeon, where they meet Arthas and find out that almost nothing lasts of him (specially Jaina).
