Back, you mindless ones! You shall not be forgotten, my king. Original cinematic(spoilers): • Arthas Is Back! Anduin... Anduin model: www.hiveworksh... Jaina model: www.hiveworksh...
To be fair, they did find a way to completely f*** up the "in case of emergency, bring back Arthas" strategy, and also found a way to make me hate Sylvanas even more than I already did. Those feats are achievements in stupidity.
To be fair a proper death is better than whatever corny redemption/resurrection arc the writers could have come up with. But of course Sylvanas had to go and make the scene about herself
No, my son. Your soul is going to be sent to Hell, where you'll be imprisoned as part of an aeons-old plot by the Zovaal the Jailer (who has been your master this whole time, and who you have been siphoning souls for), and you'll eventually become a wisp of anima (which is like soul juice) to be judged by Sylvanas, who's going to be several times worse than you at this point but I don't even have time to get into that right now

I was displeased to learn how the writers had Kel'thuzad not ever be loyal to Arthas but the Jailer. This video however makes it so he WAS truly loyal to Arthas and planned to aid him in deposing the Jailer so Arthas could take his place as ruler of creation. Then Arthas can reshape it both to fight off the Void Lords and so he can be with Jaina who'll rule by his side and with Kel'Thuzad as his top advisor.
@@nikachitidze7219 I don't know why he was only loyal to the Jailer. Perhaps he shared his vision of unifying creation under the Jailer to save it from whatever big threat was coming due to seeing how everyone around him fought each other all the time with bad results.
If you think about it, the entire undead campaign was about making new friends and helping people with disabilities: Kel'thuzad was dead so he couldn't walk, the mobs in that The Dark Lady were mentally ill so we rehabilitated them, the acolytes in the first mission were being discriminated against, so we helped them, and finally when Arthas starts losing his power, his friends form a support group to help him work through the troubled part of his life!
That serves to show that what was truly important in Arthas' life quest wasn't the quest itself. It was the friends he made along the way. As well as him discarding people that claimed to be his friends and simply left once the situation became too hard for them to bear.
"Back you mindless ones! You shall not fall today my king!" The words of a true Undead bro spoken 19 years ago still carry the same gravitas today. God I love your use of choice cuts from WC3 and HotS' memorable dialogue pool!
Imagine: -Arthas defeats the Jailer and absorbs his powers -He conquers the Shadowlands and Azeroth -As the ruler of both life and death, the whole Horde vs Alliance schism is done for good. Because we all know that they would inevitably start another conflict sooner or later.
@@TheFireFox36 I do not belive sylvanes wasnt done dirty. what I am saying is dont critisise them for doing stuff right. sylvanes in this cutcense dosnt say she is morally grey she says she bacame a monster like arthas. wich is one of the most vile monsters sylvanes has known. Even tho the writers does dumb stuff, does not impead on their abilty to do stuff right here and there aswell.
Arthas purges one city and becomes a criminal for hundreds of years to come. Sylvannas purges an entire home world of an entire race, turns her own against each other, opens the portal to the shadowlands for the living world to be consumed - gets a get out of jail free card
@@dad1158 with the fact he was mind controlled since he took Frostmourne till the end, just like Sylvanas. He did nothing wrong untill that very moment, so it is either kill them both, or give them all a chance for redemption.
*Burns* alive almost all NE on teldrassil . Arthas purged all the citizens of stratholme because it was the right choice , given that Arthas had no time to spare when he did the purge.
Blizzard: "Hey kids you loved Arthas right?" WOW Players: "YEEEEESSSSS!" Blizzard: "Well we're gonna bring him back." WOW Players: "Oh F*** Yes!" Blizzard: "As a NPC phase in a boss fight then as a wisp that only Sylvanas everyone's favoritest character gets to monologue about before vanishing." WOW Players: *cancels subscription*
@Lady Jaina Proudmoore WoW's plot has been cringe for a while now, imo starting with MoP (and not because of pandas) maybe I'm one of those Warcraft RTS - WOTLK guys.
man i loved sylvanas when she just lurked in the shadows being the leader of the forsaken. now i can't even look at her without being annoyed and enraged.
The only bad thing about this beautiful masterpiece, is that in order to deliver it, you were forced to include that horrible abomination of a cut scene's audio. You sir, are truly a Hero of legend. Thank you.
that's because what was in wow was some weird man hating/cancelling situation, there's no other way to explain it when sylvanas did worse when she was conscious and willing and she's talking down to a hero; yeah, yelling at yourself in third person gives you the right to judge hortler, i reject that reality completely and the small lives who imagined it
@@grom4818 look at the expressions on the characters. She wasnt talking down to him or judging him. She was admitting what she had done since his fall and pitying him because she understands now what he went through as she and Anduin went through the same thing
@@grom4818 it's you fundamentally misunderstanding the cinematic because of arthas not being in a corporeal form even though it makes perfect sense that literally being made into a augmented gem would destroy what was left of him after he was forcibly detached from the blade after being pounded into itm
I haven't watch Shadowlands ending so i'm gonna accept this as the canon ending for WoW(Atleast until they announce a new expansion where you can play as the murlocs).
Now let's have Illidan come to help Arthas against the Jailer. "I have sworn to destroy him, Arthas! It must be done!" "Yes. He will know endless torment! I'll make sure he suffers!"
"Back you mindless ones!" Found that fucking hilarious referring to Uther, Sylvanas and gang. Their 'self-righteous order' fits pretty well too lmao. Great video, Executor. You make better content than Blizzard at this point.
@@madsword19 I think he was willingly serving Ner'zhul, like he was stunned by the beauty of the Scourge and its ways or something Arthas was the puppet that for sure
@@albodav9602 In the lore Ner'zul enabled Kel'Thuzad. He allowed him to fulfill his dream and conduct his research on necromancy as long as he served him. Well after a while he was practically forced to serve as refusing would mean dying but after he got over the initial shock of realising what he was working for and what he was expected to do he served the lich king willingly. AT LEAST THAT USED TO BE THE LORE. In shadowlands Kel'thuzad was supposedly aware of the jailer and he was in fact working for him from the get go...
@@Regunes This video is a rendition of the actual WoW cutscene. The line where Sylvanas comments on him being forgotten is where it ends; everything after is the author having fun with it.
@@timurartas in what world is a redemption for Sylvanas right after all that she has done? Yet Blizzard is going that route. So why can't we have Arthas back?
A much better ending. Arthas comes back, culls the cast of a few weanies, puts down the Jailer for cucking him out of his kingdom, destroys the Shadowlands, and renders death again the uncertainty that it should have remained. Quite based.
I wrote a really big embarrassing post about how better Shadowlands would have been if we had Kel'Thuzard and Anub'arak helping in the Shadowlands trying to save Arthas. Hell, would have been great if ANY of the past characters helped in anyway that also helped them find closer.
Could have been a cool if somewhat cliched story that Arthas ends up having to take over as the new Jailer of the Maw in the end to fulfill the purpose it was created for and not be some tool in an insane plot to destroy and enslave all of existence. Or Hell I'd even take Uther his mentor and also jerk who fed him to the Maw being the one to give that last speech but no it just had to be mother frakking Sylvanas!
@@lordfrostwind3151 I don't know why Arthas suddenly became this villain anyways. Wasn't it all Frostmourne and Ner'Zhul's plot to begin with? Arthas just wanted to kill Mal'Ganis. If anything, he'd be on the alliance's side in the shadowlands.
@@creative-name5279 Yeah it was and not just widows garbage I mean the whole "Father is it over?" thing with his young prince voice was proof enough I think
@@creative-name5279 Blizzard writres can't be bothered with reading the old and objectively better lore so they just make shit up as they go so that their dumbass story makes sense.
True friends aren't those that stand with you when everything looks bright. True friends are those that stand with you when you are in your lowest point. Kel'Thuzad and Anub'arak stood with Arthas even when he was losing his powers and control over his minions. Uther and Jaina abandoned Arthas when he was the only ready to do what needed to be done.
@@robertlupa8273 In the Rise of the Lich King book, DK Arthas regarded Kel'Thuzad as a true friend and Kel'Thuzad shared the sentiment. Though for some reason Christie Golden implied that Kel'Thuzad saw Arthas as more then a friend, a lot of his dialogue with DK Arthas was very campy.
True, you could argue about Stratholme, coming to Northrend (he did save Muradin and his expedition on the way, which is often omitted), but he did lie to his soldiers and betray his mercenaries which turned him into a massive dickhead. It had basis in history though, Hernan Cortes started his conquest of Aztec Empire by burning ships behind. Obviously he and his boys were no heroes, but you cannot deny them their massive balls and ingenuity.
Everything Arthas did up until after taking Frostmourne was absolutely justified and I will die on this hill. As far as he knew Mal'ganis was the only one commanding the undead invasion of Lordaeron. Neither Uther nor the king understood the gravity of the situation.
This is really sad. Some random executor mad lad creates a masterpiece in the world editor because he's bored. And not only does he honor Kel'Thuzad's original characterization, but the fact that he didn't neglect to include Anub'arak demonstrates more respect to the Nerubian king than anything neo-WoW ever churned out. And this was all done FOR FREE. Meanwhile, Blizzard spends who knows how much money and time on something that no one really wants to see. Are these 'people' shambling around in the SL cutscene really the Sylvanas, Uther, et al that we've come to know? They seem like soulless entities wearing familiar skins, but utterly lacking in personality. Maybe this is why the OG undead trio immediately go on the attack. Not because of past grievances. They're literally trying to save us from these 'mindless ones'. As far as I'm concerned, the Nral-verse version of events is the true canon and Blizzard is just good at deceiving people into thinking otherwise.
"Self righteous" so true, they let him do all dirty work at Stratholme then call him the bad guy, if they assisted him at all times he wouldn't maybe gone for revenge, even then maybe Frostmourne wasn't necessary to defeat the mal'ganis
Really, really late reply, but what happened to Anub arak? Been a long time since I played frozen throne and I have always disliked mmos (except swtor, that one is awesome, at least story wise)
@@carlosplata3899 He was turned into the final boss of a leveling dungeon and wasn't really a big deal. Then he returned in a throwaway raid as its last boss, and while somewhat tougher...still kinda lame. It probably would have been less of a downer had Blizzard actually made the Azjol-Nerub zone they'd had planned, but they didn't have the time/knowhow to do an underground zone. At least until the following expansion, where Deepholm existed.
@@Duneczan A shame, despite not being in base w3 I liked the guy, had a lot of potential for lore, maybe even a nerubian sub-faction. I want my RTS back damnit! :(
Dude, it just makes so much sense, this would be a perfect story! We haven't destroyed Kelthuzads phylactery, the scourge is now without a master and free to wander and run chaos around azeroth, WHICH BLIZZARD NEVER ADDRESSED IN SHADOWSLANDS which was a big effin deal in wotlk, and it's like, yeah no big deal. SO WHAT HAPPENS the scourge remembers their king and decide to be loyal to him. Every single scourge entity, and they rush to re-throne him, WHICH SHOULD BE IN EVERYONES INTEREST so the scourge dont destroy everything. We get arthas back and everyones happy,!!! We got illidan back, we're getting goody two shoes sylvanas back (which nobody really wants), so give us back arthas
Canon ending that I force myself to believe in: They got Arthas back. Arthas gets the glory of slaying the jailor. Putting him in a fate of non existence. Everyone goes home. Arthas spends his undead life fixing the wrongdoings of his past, being a conduit between the alliance and horde. Also fuck sylvanas.
You know what expected?Arthas gets revived to be the new jailer ,a rightoues one something like that...jesus Of course this video surpassed the expectations! It was awesome
I was hoping for redemption for Arthas. But still better than this fuckin bullshit Blizzard made. Why Sylvanas who was controled by Jailer got redemption, but Arthas who also was controled by Jailer did not? I hate Blizzard for that and I'm glad Microsoft bought them.
Correction: Arthas was under the influence of the crown since the last Lich King's soul is inside it. Aka Ner'Zhul. Even in the Dungeon Culling of Stratholme you hear Mal Ganis say at the end that he wants revenge on the Lich King. Notice how he says that to Arthas long before he took up the crown
Activision is so dumb, they thought it would make sense that Uther would join the same team as the Lich King and sylvanad. none of shadow lands story made ANY sense. I hope Microsoft takes over soon
Same here, i hope Microsoft just recycles this pile of steammy crap completely, time to close this chapter and make another game, Blizz became too lazy to create new games, they kept living from games created more than a decade ago
This is a double flipoff in Blizzard's face. :) It's like saying: 1. Your story sucks, here is a better one in 5 minutes! 2. Reforged also sucks, so I am making this with the original Warcraft 3
The King shall return... Sooner or later. The pretenders and and the beasts and the legions and the "civilized" folk shall feel the wrath of the scourge once more - and forever.
Way better than the "farting out of existence surrounded by hypocrites" ending Activision Blizzard gave him Easily in the top 10 worst anime betrayals in gaming
We gotta get this shared to Bellular, Asmon and pretty much EVRY WoW youtuber and make Blizz see how they fucked up. Whoever you share this;NOBODY can actually deny the accuracy and dead on depiction of these characters in one of the simplistic maps ive ever seen... While they spend millions to just complicate and ruin characters and their story. This is what players wanted THIS little custom map has more quality and praise then anything they have come out with
Yes dude, so much yes. send those crappy wow plot masters back to their maker. Not sure why was the jaina model staff flickering but hmm, shouldn't happen, nice to see you using Hive stuff though 😄
