Warcraft III *cinematics* all rights to Blizzard Entertainment .

This scene always gives me the chills ! We definitely need a movie about Arthas !

[Dorne_is_the_GOAT]

One of the most depressing and chilling endings of all time. This ending is amazing because the Lich King actually succeeded but in the sky there is sunlight which is a glimmer of hope.

[ARViuff]

There is just something so timeless and beautiful, in a tragic way, about this ending.
Arthas climbs the steps, recalling all the mistakes, all the warnings he ignored, all the people he lost that were close to him, all that he pushed away.
and when he stands before the lich king, alone, isolated, possibly full of resentment but having no other choice, he breaks the ice and takes the crown.
as he puts on the crown the world around him crumbles like his life did, he was to be a king one day, with a queen and children, and lead a nation as a just ruler like his father.
but the damned path he decided to walk leads him to the opposite, while he becomes a king in the end, he is ultimately a king of nothing.
as the camera zooms out we see the waste of nothingness that he rules, devoid of loyal subjects, friends, cheers, life.
all he has is a cold throne placed so high that all can see what a failure he has become.
and he sits there, unmoving, almost dead like, looking out over the world, alone with his thoughts.

God, just imagine Warcraft movies like Lord of The Rings...with this...

At first I felt Arthas had regained a little bit of his humanity back, and destroyed the glacier out of frustration of who he became. When he dawned the helmet of damnation it was like a gut punch. Such a tragic story.

Arthas going up, with his head full of voices, is just like me heading up the stairs/elevator to work.

[OzAsbjorn]

When Blizzard was still amazing. The story of Arthas was by far one of the best story arcs ever.

[lisboah]

To me the Lich King will always be the one and only ruler of both the Dead and the Damned, Kel'Thuzad his faithful right-hand, and the Scourge the ultimate legion of Death.
Screw the Jailer and his Mawsworn, the Shadowlands expansion and all the retcons that came with it.

All hail the Lich King, the One True King, God of the Damned!

[mihaasky]

To this day one of the most if not THE most iconic and shocking endings ever.

[jirivosahlo]

It's crazy how ahead of its time this was...

[ANDELE]

This, this is the real ending of Warcraft 3, no matter what Actiblizz whines and cries about.

[alessiakrone]

You either die a

live long enough to see youself becomes the

It pains me to someone once so great yet fall so far from grace....

[borjaoliveira]

The most rare thing, is thst the game makes you use arthas to kill good people. The game makes you give the win to arthas.

Warcraft 3 cinematics will always have a place in my heart

“You lied to your men and betrayed the mercenaries that fought for you.. what’s happening to you Arthas?” My favorite part. Muradin is an underrated character.

[epicmatrix]

i think this cinematic blew everyones mind in 2003

...to turn to bloodlust, then we will become as vile as the Orcs.
...no one goes home until our job here is done!
...you are not my king yet, boy!
...forget this business and lead your men home.
...nor would I obey that command even if you were!
...the urn holds your father's ashes, Arthas!
...our salvation.
...DAMN IT, Uther! As your future king, I ORDER you to purge this city!
...leave it be, Arthas.
...have you lost your MIND, Arthas?
...then I must consider this an act of treason.
...you've ground it to dust in a matter of days.
...you lied to your men, and betrayed the mercenaries who fought for you. What's happening to you, Arthas?
...I'm still your superior as a paladin.
...if my warriors abandon me, I'll never defeat Mal'Ganis.
...your young prince will find only DEATH in the cold north.
...treason?

[grishy]

and for those of us who never played WoW, this evil ending was the final moment of Warcraft

[vincent]

No matter what Sylvanas may say or Blizzard may wish, Arthas will never be forgotten.

As a kid, because i only knew W3 and wasn't even aware of WOW, I thought this was the end of the story. The Scourge gained immense power and wiped out the rest of Azeroth because no one except Illidan gave the threat of the Scourge any attention.
