Common misconception, Arthas doesn't actually kill Illidan on the mountain. He defeats him and Illidan is forced to retreat. The original devs gave an interview and said that their biggest regret was not making the fight between Arthas and Illidan a true cut scene in the original game. Since they did it in the normal game mode they were locked into the death animation for Ilidans character so everyone assumed Illidan died and then they were all up in arms when it was announced that Illidan would be the final boss of Black Temple during TBC.

I always loved the final scene when the camera zooms out
you seen this prince who had it all, but with each mission he losses something, his faith, his people, his friends, his crown and his kingdom
and at the end, after all he has done, he gets a crown, he sits on a throne at the very top of the world and its lonely, isolated, with only the howling winds of a barren cold wasteland cheering him on.

5: 20 This was the point where Arthas was lost forever.
Jaina was the only one that could have made him see the error he committed in Stratholme and prevented him from going north. She was his last hope and when she walked away, it was only a matter of time before he became the Lich King.

I know very little about the war craft lore. I have come to love illidan from playing hearthstone, watching thus hurts so much. From the little I know about him he seems like he was a victim of much unnecessary torment and a misunderstood evil. Much like my favorite star wars character, grievous

Arthas will always be the canon hero to villain story of my childhood. Thanks Warcraft for being as good as you were when I needed you. I hope Warcraft can help other lonely kids get through the hard times and just maybe inspire them to make something creative of their own.

didn't catch the -you are weak- line. weird that it's C'thun's voice instead of Yoggy. Is this a reforged thing? Cause I'm pretty sure concepts like the old gods weren't even fleshed out yet and I don't remember seeing faceless ones in TFT as a kid but I could be wrong.

The lich king you see at the frozen throne in wc3 is Ner'zhul the first lich king. actually an orc death knight. his spirit was imprisoned inside the helm and they were merged together when he equipped the helm of domination. hence the ''now we are one''

I am so sad this couldn't be brought to live-action. The movie wasn't successful enough to get a sequel. This would have made such an awesome movie series. Maybe they should have taken the George R. R. Martin route and done TV series instead of movies

This small retcon in the lore, where the fuse into one being, was pointless! I mean -SPOILERS FOR SHADOWLANDS! - -They destroy the helm and Arthus's soul is completely destroyed. - -END SPOILERS- so I dont understand the need for this change.

It-s not really the -evil- ending.
I remember getting chills when Arthus and Illiden fought when I played the first time.
But it always bothered me, the door was open, Illiden should have just made for the throne, not waited to fight

This makes me want to get this game and play Warcraft 3 again. I haven't played it since my younger years when the original game out. It is was one of the many great games that got into gaming when I was a child.

Arthas: -These elves are pathetic. It's no wonder we destroyed their homeland so easily. -
Me: -You idiot, you destroyed your own homeland right before that. That means you humans are pathetic too. Idiot. -

As far as I know these 2 are the perfect counter for each other. Arthas can take any damage inflicted upon him to heal him or bring back his health while Illidan can swap his health to his enemy

Just one big problem with this title name (Arthas Kills Illidan) Arthas never kill Illidan & he doesn't die either! /Might want to change that false title.
CSL & OUT!

Amazing video!
So does WC3 Reforged use all of the original voice casting? I've always been scared to purchase it because I was led to believe it was recast.

Marco,
Warcraft 3 was my entire childhood. I would play other games, but I'll always go back to it. That's why I'm saddened by the current situation of Blizzard.

When he sits on his throne. I feel more pain than anything else, it feels like arthas is dead and the lich king is in control, it's very tragic.

I've heard some folks say that Arthas was actually intended to be the BBEG of WoW, way back early on. What a story that would've been

What I love the most about this is that it TRULY had a bad/sad ending, and WE caused it, so we can't call it bad at all. You get me: )

Glad I never wasted my money on this. Although imo the WotL was WoW's best expansion.
