Arthas fate on SL timeline

October 2020: “The story of Arthas from Warcraft III to its conclusion at the end of Wrath of the Lich King is one of the most iconic tales of our canon. We do not invoke his name lightly. At the same time, Shadowlands allows us to explore the origins of the darkness that consumed the heart of the young prince. In the process, we just might learn more about him and the others whose lives were forever impacted by the choices Arthas made.”

March 2022: “Flicker ball go spoof, lul”

what they did to arthas is a blasphemy basically one of the most iconic characters just go poof , like the true warchief of the horde garrosh.
meanwhile sylvanas gets a third chance and a slap in the wrist.

That wasn’t Arthas though… it was Swirly Ball.

It was a Hadoken when Ryu is just tired from a long day at the office and wants a rest. He’s not a machine!

Simply, don’t trust in Danuser.

more than Ryu, at least the smallest of the hados, he would be more powerful and durable.

That’s Dan’s hadoken.

Were you honestly expecting anything else than what this team has vomited out all expansion…and last expansion…and the one before that and the previous one?

It was extremely disappointing in my opinion. They teased Arthas making an appearance. Arthas and his story was one a great game storyline. And they just said forget about Arthas. “May the last whisper of your name fade.”

Danuser is really butchering Warcraft Lore. They did so many characters dirty this expac. I understand they want to move forward with a new vision and a new direction, but they dont have to just hack job what came before.

They should have paid Arthas some fanfare and if they were going to give him a send-off, then actually give him one. Not a little ball of light fading away.

And again trying to prop Sylvanas up. Giving her this epiphany where she compares Arthas to Herself. And that her bad deeds are hers to atone for. Sylvanas was once an interesting and complex character. Then they did Shadowlands to her.

I think they could have left the Arthas portion of the cinematic out and it would have been decent.

The disgusting and despicable woke clown world that Blizzard has become is on show for everyone to see.

To have such a brave and stunning wahmen in Sylvanas tell the 35 anima pool of Arthas “You’ll be forgotten” - all I can say here is F you blizzard - I’m done, I’m gone.

At least Garrosh got a proper send off. ‘‘No regrets, for the horde, I would do it again.’’
Arthas just got victim blamed by someone who willingly submitted to his abuser.

I’d say thats probably the best sendoff they could give while acknowleding Arthas was still technically in existance. People were expecting something crazy like Arthas coming back and hitting the Jailer with a steel chair and that’d just be ridiculous. He dieded, he wasn’t gonna come back.

im gonna assume you are trolling , sylvanas revived how many times now ? voljin got a second chance as well .
i expected respect from a legendary character from canon but it seems we gotta take wow as non canon and call it a fan fic or something , with the lack of respect from writters feels like weve being playing in game of thrones season 8 for the last 6 years.

So what do you think would have been a satisfactory outcome for you?

if arthas had got the redemption and sylvanas had been yeeted from existence is what i imagine what a lot of them wanted.

You know, I think I’ve changed my mind and actually quite like this word now.

If I see it, I immediately know to dismiss whoever is using it as a drooling imbecile, really saves me the trouble of bothering to read anything else they said.
