A trilogy would be best. Start with his birth, invincible, training to become a Paladin. And culminate with the Culling of Stratholme, claiming Frostmourne, returning to Lordaeron & killing Terenas. For the second we could have his whole campaign where he wreaks havoc over Lordaeron, invades Quel'thalas (whole movie arc on its own), fights Sylvanas, rezzes Kel'thuzad and ascending as the Lich King. Then as the third, they could focus on WoTLK’s story, as justice is brought to Icecrown itself, wrapping everything up beautifully. (Death Knights at Light’s Hope chapel, Tirion and the Argent Crusade, Jaina coping with her past love, the return of Varian his childhood friend). God it’s so amazing I wish they’d do it somewhat like that. It’d be a masterpiece.
@@Athelarius This is one of the thing that I need to see before I dead :D While I was reading, there was a smile on my face... I can't even image how epic this trilogy would be.
@@Athelarius Reading this made me cry because of how fucking perfect this would be. It's almost like the Star Wars prequels, or maybe the entire saga up to 6. The first 3 would be leading up to his ascendance as the Lich King, and the next 3 would be the champions of Azeroth rising up to assault Northrend & Icecrown to dethrone him. May seem too unoriginal like they're copying Star Wars, but I don't think 3 movies will be enough to tell his story. Maybe at least 4
ah my son, i see your hair have turned white, and you are wearing skulls on your armor, and you have ditched your paladin weapon for that absolutely not terrifying sword, come and hug me now
The full dialogue: Terenas: "Oh and is that Falric and Marwin? Good to see you again, you don't look at all suspicious with those black hoods guarding the gates. I'm sure the white hair is just a phase, and that armor is just the latest craze in the Capitol. And that ominous glowing sword of soul stealing death must be your graduation gift. Come here and give your old man a hug."
And consider that Arthas basically purged an entire city, and no one is mad at him, not even Terenas? "Oh hello my son, you have disappeared for quite a while in Northrend, and taking half of the fleet of Lordearon. Also, what is up with those reports of you purging Stratholme and disbanding Uther's and his knights from service?" Like.. come on man, Arthas should have been imprisoned by that.
The BEST quote ever in a cinematic, or in the Warcraft franchise in general. I wait for the day Blizzard decides to make a full fledged movie of Arthas’ story and does it RIGHT (no cutting corners, has to be a labor of love and passion).
"I will show you the justice of the grave" I think deserves to be up there In fact I think it should have been ordered differently "I will show you the true meaning of fear....and the justice of the grave" but hey I don't work for blizz
Imagine amazing epic trilogy of Arthas. First chapter is him as a boy, second one as Paladin and the final one as Lich King... maaan I dream about this all my life
Arthas was a great character. The fallen hero archetype makes for the best villains. Especially when you sympathize with the original goal and witnessed the point where they went too far. Great Story. He's right up there with darth vader as one of the most impressive villains in pop culture.
No idea what they made of him later. I played wow for the first 5 years or so up to the point where we conquered icecrown and defeated the lich king. Seemed like a good point to end the story. I agree that overusing the same trope will ruin it. If every other new story tries to create a darth vader, it becomes silly.
Arthas to this day has the best music. I've been playing since the 90s and it's always been amazing. The first 10 years of wow were imo perfect especially if you played through the 90s RTS.
it really is amazing to see that the only new Cinematic that was made (Illidan vs Arthas) was in so much lower quality then the original clips that was made all those years ago... really showes the lack of pasion thats putt into this
Hiya Folks! This is a tribute I wanted to dedicate to Arthas Menethil, Crown Prince of Lordaeron, one and only Lich King. Long live the King! And may we one day get a proper Warcraft Movie based on Arthas and his story (one of Blizzard’s most iconic & beloved characters, and defining character arcs). A time when passion and love were ever-present in their works. Bless.) As you’re all aware the cinematics for Warcraft 3: Reforged are sadly the same except they’ve been a bit remastered in quality and audio. (Just goes to show how EXTREMELY WELL they were made for their time to still hold up, even in 2020).
To be honest, i was expecting the cinematic quality of WoW in the remastered version. Even though the Older version is a jewel of its time but it did show its age. So the remastered could have used the cinematic quality like WotLK trailer standard.
I understand, but I do believe they mentioned multiple times they wouldn't redo the original cinematics except for slight visual/audio enhancements. What I am disappointed though is that the in-game cutscenes they showcased didn't make it in like the Stratholme Purge with Jaina, Uther and Arthas. That one I can't defend. I hope later down the line they patch them in, I have faith.
@@Athelarius it doesn't look good at Blizzard since they are having internal problem with Activision firing good staff and then replace them with newer staff but cheaper salary. So i don't expect much from Blizzard nowaday but i would love to be wrong. Hell, i would like Blizzard to prove me wrong by providing outstanding content worthy of Blizzard name.
When you read the book "Arthas - Rise of the Lich King" that scene where he goes up to the throne, shatters Nerzuls Prison and crowns himself, Arthas last thoughts before sitting down the throne are overwhelming chilling
Have yall been sniffing glue? The amount of time and resources required to remake all the warcraft 3 cinematics to modern standards wouldnt be worth it at all.
The ending cinematic for the Human & Scourge Campaign is amazing the HD really shines, well done Blizzard! But the fight was hm,......kind of plastic, yes Illidan use his demon form ok, but it's not done yet, we wanted that but I still think some tweaking is needed, Good job adding Wrath intro fits perfectly,
I agree, even decades later these remain the absolute masterpieces as they were then. It reflects the love and passion the old team had and it showed in the themes, designs and memorable dialogues. Really hope we one day get a trilogy for his story, culminating with the events of WoTLK. But only if they do it right (no cutting corners). Or if not, at least one full movie, capturing the events. (I'm speaking about the original cinematics, not the Arthas vs. illidan one. That on'es just...special)
It depends on what hell you are talking about exactly.. I mean.. If you do things out of good intentions and end up in suffering, loneliness and poverty. That's not hell. No matter how bad it is. But doing evil deeds out of selfish desires brings hell to you. No matter how rich you are and how many friends you have. The bad things you have done, echo in your memories and haunt you.
Even decades later, they stand the test of time. True masterpieces and it reflects the LOVE and PASSION the original team had. Bless their hearts for giving us those stories, with innovative designs and memorable dialogue.
I think warcraft was one of the first games that had mind blowing cinematics like this. Honestly I atleast thought at that time it was soo out of this world
There's only one person who has a more sad and tragic story than Arthas does. And that's Anakin. Arthas deserves, no, he needs a movie series about himself from the beginning to the end.
@@vapingfury4460 Should be: You lied to your men, and betrayed the players who paid for you!! What's happening to you Blizzard? Is money all that's important to you?
@@nguyensantino940 no its no ok. Especially at the expense of others. I dont actually support that at all and i don't think you should be supporting any of that...
Yeah, gameplay wise it's a big downgrade, no divine shield, no armor buff, temp revive. Paladin is better, if they at least let Arthas keep attack boost and chaos damage but even then, that divine shield is op.
Terenas be like: "Oh, my son. I see all the color of your body is gone. And you're wearing all black armor covered in skulls. And you're carrying a sword that looks like the embodiment of evil. It's a good thing fighting that evil necromancer plague hasn't changed you at all; come give me a hug!"
I love the idea of alternate theories. I still think Illidan was more powerful, just more reckless I guess. Arthas was the theme of the game, and was meant to become the Lich King, so plot armor and all that. Personally I would have loved to see that cinematic become one based on strategic tactics, with tensions and weight in their swings. But it is what it is I guess.
Lmao illidan sitting on the frozen throne... And arthas runs to Outland to work againstr burning legion.. then they meet up in an expansion and take dowmnBC together
Arthas you were my childhood hero, my rolemodel also the first character to make me care about the story of a game. I will never forgive what the current WoW dev team did to you, I will recognize the sacrifices. Arthas did nothing wrong, he had to make difficult decisions without looking back, for the sake of everyone as a king should.
@Ross Pate Heres a twist on it: Nerzul was the big dog of the scourge, no arthas. Arthas succeeded him by killing Nerzul and child arthas' soul to become the true evil he was until we killed him in ICC.
Yawn... Boo hoo... Another weak-willed, spoiled, whiny anti-hero.... Anakin and Arthas would be better suited as lovers who lay in bed commiserating about mean everyone was, and how they "tried their best". Bums.
so they made us pay all that extra money for the remake of the original game and they passed all the remodeling to some off band company who makes all the models look like something from raid shadow legend which is far from the style we all know blizzard to use. and the only cinematic they updated was the teaser trailer which while looking much better uses those nasty looking small mouthed orcs.
While the world freaked out about game of thrones, some of us sly smirked, knowing we experienced something far more epic than they ever could. Becoming the death knight, striving to become the lich king. This, Blood Omen, Soul Reaver, Vampire the Masquerade Etc. As a kid who LOVED undead stuff (probably because of ghostbusters), I was born in a golden age.
I once thought Arthas was angry at the Lich King for what happened to him, that's why he destroyed it. When he wore the Helm of Domination I was like "bruh?"
Whats crazy, is that Arthas got the frostmoune to save everyone in the first place. And then killed his friends and his own father. THATS WRITING MY FRIEND.
For me Arthas/Lich King is the best character ever created by Blizzard, if not the best in history! When he died in WoW.. the WoW and Blizzard has died with him :(
Sometimes I wonder if Arthas was still himself in his heart the whole time. A paladin who wants nothing but the best for his people. And yet he was taken by the lich. Committing atrocities unimaginable to all the races, all the while feeling the immense shame and guilt in doing so, with absolutely no control over your wrongdoings. That truly is a tragedy... that's in my opinion why Arthas may have been so grateful for his defeat.
Quote from WOW - Wrath of the Lich King: (King Terenas Menethil II) ''No king rules forever.'' Let's not delude ourselves, we all need just to accept the fact that no one lives forever. Eventually things are going to come to an end, like all things, always do. And know and remember this, there was/is/will /be/ always someone better than you. So don't become arrogant, because usually pride comes before the fall.
It's about arthas, a guy who got possessed by a sword he needed to kill some kind of evil type of demon . But he didint need to do it, his armies were enough .Arthas is obviously inspired from King Arthur, even the names are similar. But he used a sword which was very diferent from excalibur cuz it eventually changed him . This sword wasn't given by the lady of the lake, but by a monstrous being . From a character like Arthur this arthas eventually became like mordred, a dread lord .
Someday, I wish to go to a frozen land, climb the tallest mountain, make a thrones like seat and sit there while holding a replica of frostmourne and wearing the lich king's armor for as long as my body can hold.
The cinematic where Arthes kills his own father i never could tell what The bodyguards were but i just realize that both of them are carrying different kinds of spears Plus they look like they have more practical gear on rather than the bulky iconic World of Warcraft warrior gear.
When I watched frozen throne ending cinematic. I thought that does he even remember what he have done. He killed his father, uther, muradin,betrayed his peoples for whom he started his campaign and finally what did he thought about jaina, whom he loved most.

This is my favorite cinematic in gaming.
Yooooo this is so epiiicc 😭 and bring back so many nemories too 😭
Everything world of warcraft lacks exists in this video.
Arthas and Illidan will meet again best heroes in whole wow story
Looking back at the amazing storytelling and state of the art cutscenes from 20 years ago makes me sad
So awesome this is the best story ever blizzard now can never do what old blizzard could do
Why did kil'jaeden designed the helmet to fit Arthas' head?
The helmet IS Nerzhul
To prepare the invasion of The Burning Legion over the Azeroth. Ner'Zhul broke free from Kil'Jaeden though.
I miss the old warcraft.
me too fam ;)
3:36 Witch invincible song is this?

Quote from WOW - Wrath of the Lich King:
(King Terenas Menethil II)
''No king rules forever.''
Let's not delude ourselves, we all need just to accept the fact that no one lives forever. Eventually things are going to come to an end, like all things, always do. And know and remember this, there was/is/will /be/ always someone better than you. So don't become arrogant, because usually pride comes before the fall.
Arthas is essentially medieval fantasy version of anakin skywalker.
no
Amazing Job! 😲
That brings up memories
It's about arthas, a guy who got possessed by a sword he needed to kill some kind of evil type of demon . But he didint need to do it, his armies were enough .Arthas is obviously inspired from King Arthur, even the names are similar. But he used a sword which was very diferent from excalibur cuz it eventually changed him . This sword wasn't given by the lady of the lake, but by a monstrous being . From a character like Arthur this arthas eventually became like mordred, a dread lord .
There is just... The Lich King
The one, the ONLY. Now and forever. Long may he reign.
7:40 please brothers what name this song !!!??? :( ??
At the end, both of Terenas’s children ended up, one way or another, ruling the Undeads.
Ah my son, what with that Emo Hair and skulls?
My son, the day you were born the very forests of gamers whispered the name.... shitforged
Someday, I wish to go to a frozen land, climb the tallest mountain, make a thrones like seat and sit there while holding a replica of frostmourne and wearing the lich king's armor for as long as my body can hold.
That cinematic was so awesome, back when Blizzard was an incredible company.
I can feel Arthas's anger, loneliness, and disappointment
All this time going into the Undercity i didn't know it was the home of King Arthas. lol
The cinematic where Arthes kills his own father i never could tell what The bodyguards were but i just realize that both of them are carrying different kinds of spears Plus they look like they have more practical gear on rather than the bulky iconic World of Warcraft warrior gear.
I wouldn't mind to see him in movie form. So as long he is accurate.
Every fantasy franchise has their Sauron villain
Still protecting the sword Han?
No…. Protecting you from her.
The moment that changed everything
Which is the name of the music at minute 7:30?
The Frozen throne
is arthays from darksiders story? one of the horsemen?
When I watched frozen throne ending cinematic. I thought that does he even remember what he have done. He killed his father, uther, muradin,betrayed his peoples for whom he started his campaign and finally what did he thought about jaina, whom he loved most.
Amazing
We need a movie of the full Warcraft's Lore
Probably old news but y'all heard Cavill might play him? Shuuuuuud, that'd be awesome as fuck
Indeed
"come then! Frostmourne hungers .."
If anyone can get this part @7:50 I would be happy, because it's different melody and can't find it anywhere
I'm pretty sure it's just called icecrown
The name is: "Warcraft III - The Frozen Throne - The Ascension" (there in the end of track), try to google it.
arthas will forever be my prince ✌️
Was hoping they would trim up all cinematics since they began with the intro, still they are great snce WC3 og launch
Man ICC looks so much better with that visual than in the games. It's such a natural, cold and evil looking formation.
Let them come!! Frostmourne hungers!!
Oh please. LIch king kicks burning crusade's puny arse any day of the week.
