Arthas The Lich King - Villains Corner (WoW Lore) 

we reproduce very fast, you know what they say "cut one head, and two heads appear to take its place"

HAIL HYDRA!!!

yeah they are like locusts power in numbers

Lore vs in game representation are two very different things lol.

Omg that's actually true tho

Now make like 1000 for thrall, the charecter i think with the most story.

Thrall is not a villain

He put garrosh in charge, I would call that villainous.

And it looks fantastic.

Felplague but Garrosh wasn’t a villain

He was the true bro

No not really its creepy

Ragnawak Entertainment mo

Yeah, I was actually giggling out loud at that sketch. I love Kel now

man all he wanted was the cleaveland steamer, a little wham bam thank you mam

I think even if Arthas had kids with her, its still the same outcome Arthas still becomes the death knight

tsk tsk Anduin HAHAHHAHAHA

i heard this text post

Coz he's not a lannister !!!

LMAO

If only, quil

Sadly.. the future human champions won't have any [Every Man for Himself] trinket😂😂

Arthas: kills kel Kel: aww bro it's alright

You honestly arent wrong, dude is seriously loyal without reservation. Fully of his own will!

Arthas: Your a friend of mine Kel: Thanks Arthas: Yeah cya: And then he never heard from kel again

kel was the last true friend arthas had

Arthas: Bro Kel: Yeah bro? Arthas: Close your eyes bro Kel: Okay bro Arthas: What do you see bro? Kel: Nothing bro Arthas: That's my world without you bro Kel: Bro...

Hurtyt

Hurtttttt so much

Buuuuurn

Ner'zhul: Of course you can't, go back to sleep.

Bolvar: *Does that* The lore we all know: wait, that’s illegal

1.theres no volcano in North end. 2.i doubt Bolivar has that excellent control arthas and nerzhul did.fairly they had frostmourne and he doesn't plus they both had a little hand into something that can help them for this but bolvar didn't and just recovered from torture.The best proof is that he doesn't control the souls of those within the citadel itself unleashed from the shattering of frostmourne. 3.All he can do is keep the undead in place and not destroy the balance of life.

@@Zero60133 if they do that I will b disappointed really badly.

Bolvar never did anything he is lazy as fak

Dale Chuckie cheese chance?

I know right he is actually my third favorite character 😆

It likely works because Arthas actually has a surprisingly logical descent into his madness, brought upon by a chain of terrible events he experienced, and another chain of events that he enacted. One can see how he as a hero was perfectly logical and prideful, so the Lich King exploited both of those traits to cause Arthas to pursue the logical result of culling Stratholme (seriously, he did nothing wrong here), and having Mal'Ganis constantly goad Arthas' pride into seeking vengeance. It's just that while Arthas remained consistently logical and prideful, his morality degraded in the pursuit of these, as putting down Mal'Ganis who he was told was the source of the Scourge was a logical pursuit to end the plague forever while driven by the pride of desiring to avenge so much death of the citizenry. It's a perfectly executed hero-to-villain transformation because it makes so much sense and happens in a manner where it makes even better sense.

He wasnt really a cliche hero. He did terrible things for the greater good but once he obtained frostmore, he turned into a cookie cutter villain. Literally started doing evil for the sake of evil. Mainly because he was under mind control.

He's right next to Handsome Jack in my book.

He was supposed to be My best man

@UtherSwagBringer His best buddy and my favorite character. The Lich King didn't deserve to die. He didn't do anything wrong. He just wanted a world that was safe for his people... and there were some humans and orcs in the way.

mathig nihilcek True but he lost that when he threw away his heart which led him to the wrong path.

@@yuinurahilyon5711 he is blinded from the truth

@@yuinurahilyon5711 What did he lose when he threw away his heart?

Oh g-

Skill: *demonic laughter*

The thing is that Illidan wasn't comparing the blades he was comparing their skills. If Frostmourne wasn't literally apart of Arthas he probably would've lost.

@Confused Slav ngl about the 12 yr olds 😂.

Unexpected but very welcomed crossover

Illidan also wasn't taking Arthas seriously, and if he was, Arthas would've gotten his ass kicked.

Even without the drawing kel'Thuzad is still a real bro

Same

I just got up, Haven't turned on my speakers because i have to assemple the cords first. But i watced half the video just because of the drawing! , They're adorabvle,

Eh, the writing in Wow was pretty good up until Cataclysm, then it just started going down hill.

Curnott. Didd you even burning crusade lore? It's one of the worst

Wow writing is fine. the difference however, is that each warcraft game was a well written story with linear progression that started like a book and had a to be continued ending. While in wow, the story is now separated into 60 different books. Most of them aren't even in the game. Some of them are scattered around random quests. Half of them end too soon with zero explanation. Most of them remain in cliffhanger for years. And to top it all off, it keeps expanding without closing the little things shut. Wow doesn't have a problem with good story. It's just GARBAGE storytelling.

Because he has a Siamese undead cat and drinks hot chocolate. :D

hosemarino actually the cat isn’t undead its a living cat

Happy ending is what u make of it. They made the '' bad '' guy lose because they were afraid to risk. More people would have loved Arthas winning. Although the game continuitation wouldn't be possible

@@jameshawking2246 thats why wow ruined warcraft story

Well he made Sylvanas crazy so that's a win in my book ^_^

Arthas would have raped the legion too.

They should had stopped wow there and make Warcraft 4

Sapprhrion was alive when Arthas ressed Sindragosa.

@@sanstheskeleton8104 the context here was sapphiron was revived yet arthas cheats on the dragon by rezzing another dragon.

ok

Actually, the reason why Arthas revived Syndragosa was because during the Naxrammus raid, he sent Sapphiron to aid Kel'Thuzad but Sapphiron was destroyed, causing Arthas to lose Sapphiron permanently and need a replacement.

What if he was able to revive fucking Galakrond?

Comeon mate the light already was very very unrewarding and was like I know u should die so die already..You think that a weakened connection to the light is even worth it??Note that a slightly shaken liadrin high priestess that means she had the greatest connection to the light couldn't call upon it to heal her mentor.so yeah the light is really unrewarding.and it's end goal is to do things in the worse manner possible.

Woah chill dude, I was just saying that it was a little different in the book and it's already ten years old, so this also might be retconned (I mean the behavior of the light, I haven't heard about a more recent source telling the story of the culling of Stratholme and Arthas ability to call the light during this, correct me if I'm wrong).

Number 1 Ner Zul shadowmoon valley from WoD. Tf he doing in a dg, 2nd most impactful orc ever ever and hes a dg boss

@@Atone95 because in WoD storyline he was just a warlock

13:37

Coincidenece?

That's one way of looking at it.arthas thought he took out nerzhul and he actually did succeeded to an extent but nerzhul hid in the blade of frostmourne r more likely like every soul killed by Martha's trapped within frostmourne.

Nope he did chip away at arthas's authority and was successful considering arthas does say that he sees nothing but darkness.

We dont know that the defeat of arthas was one of Nerzhuls plan after he was betrayed(I guess?)

A Runeblade*

@@theantagonist801 A blade nonetheless.

Nihon Genji slyvanas joins the game

LIck king?

@@helloandwhy1198 Lol thanks for catching that.

I'm pretty sure he said 3 years into the relationship, not 3 dates

Daddy Dagoth they had also just porked it the night before

Agreed, poor Arthas was just having a good jolly time at Halloween when she's all "I want seven kids right now" and Arthas was like "nah fuck that, not literally" And Arthas does propose to Jaina during the mission to find the reason to the plague saying he's ready but yeah that happened

@@Sigismund697 If I was in Arthas's position in that instance my Light would probably blind everyone cause I'd be absolutely elated

years... reset after reset.. (post WoTLK expansions) ICC transmog run - MOUNT RESERVED... LMAO now those r some memories (ive quit wow mid pandaria)

Lucky

I know right it's such a rare thing to see antagonists that actually like and look out for each other and not trying to betray each other all the time

Can't commit to Jaina. - She's Malganis dress like that. - Chases down Malganis like a stalker.

Mal`Ganis to a ressurected painter: "Draw me like one of your elven girls!"

STUPID AND SEXY MAL'GANIS! I will follow you till the end of the world... Did you hear me?! TILL THE END OF THE WORLD!

@@aureliodeprimus8018 "Ressurected" painter? Hopefully he is not Austrian...

@@clone3_7 My bad, i meant to say "reanimated"

We still didn't destroy his philactery as far as im aware of so he's still alive

BROthuzad is the single person id like to have as a friend. He looks out for you. He 🅱️atrols undead thots that are sexually frustrated and try to get child support from you. Works extra hard so you can have it easy. Was kelthuzad the peak of loyalty?

Nope. He's dead. Like, dead dead. His soul, accoriding to chronicles is lost in the shadowlands.

@@andreware2483 Sorry but until his phylactery is destroyed he cannot be considered truly dead.

@@gamefan56 So, your logic > Blizzard Entertainment lore? Sure, Jan…

that was retconed

@@uxsenebeli I thought the retcon was that "holy magic is tied to being righteous" got changed to "holy magic is tied to conviction" in order to justify things like Horde and Alliance paladins fighting against each other and other game mechanics and lore stuff.

my guildies fell out with me when, while soloing ICC (wanted frostweave for my tailor) I dropped invincible for a second time...……….

@@kurgan668 I envy you. I've never seen it drop once and you've had it drop twice. I did have the pet drop 3 different times though.

@@BansheeKing22 here's the kicker about the second drop, my daughter, who also plays, got an invite from me to go in on an alt too low to solo it, she gives a response of 'cant be bothered, texting my boyfreind', half an hour later, she is stood next to me talking crap about her relationship, when she watches invincible drop, knowing that, if she'd have just gone in and put her char on follow, she'd have got it for free :P

@@kurgan668 Hindsight 20/20 lol

My boi Archimonde

anyone who played Warcraft 3 has to know this line

@@EnclaveChad na I played and it didnt click in my head till some1 said who

The Legion's arrival

Now I'm going to open a new tab to play Light of the Seven at the same time. Thanks for the idea.

Lol the background text.

Actually if i remember correctly he did (gameplay wise no he didn't for obvious reasons) he nearly gains it back after trying to SAVE mirradin only for frostmourne to call to him can't have our soon to be lich king going back to the light now can we

@@disappointedparents9406in the story his connection to the light is doubted for the first time after stratholm since all his friends abandon him when he tries to save his kingdom... but the light itself doesn't truly abandon him until he forsakes it for frostmourne...the cave guardians would of ripped him apart without it (they are in the lore too, not just the RTS)

What about when he disbanded the silver hand after they refused to purge Stratholme? Even if you support the culling of Stratholme, I don't think you can support that.

nah everything arthas did was for still for himself, just a twisted version of himself. All that's changed is that we now know where the lich king gear/power came from originally. He didn't serve the Jailer.

@@johnfranky2896 The video explains it pretty well. Arthas became increasingly brutal in his efforts to save his people. This was the state he was in when he got Frostmourne from the ice, and the voice (Ner'zul) in the blade took advantage of this over-zealous brutality. It essentially convinced Arthas that he had to do even more terrible things to save his people...until Arthas became totally indoctrinated, and ruined his own kingdom. Only then was he truly evil (imo).

I'm glad! I wasnt sure if any of my youtuber members actually watched the early vids or not lol

Well his plan was to turn the greatest heroes into undead so maybe he threw his friends under the bus to train them? It would've worked too if he killed Tirion first before messing around with the champions.

I dunno man, he was a hairs breath away from his master plan succeeding. It does make you think though - if arthas was holding back during our fight with him, how strong was he really? What would've happened if he wasn't holding back?

@@Zeik188 Uuuh... the one shoting

Me too Bromance vibes

Yeah, the Light giving Arthas the cold shoulder is indeed in Christie Golden's novel "Arthas: Rise of the Lich King". It's a great read.

Replay it, He is mentioned in the game.
