He’s right where he belongs.

Uther can sit at the cool guys table now.

Arthas his soul did nothing wrong enough to deserve that fate. He might have saved the world by keeping the undead at bay. Do not forget it was the Lich King and not Arthas who did the real evil.

In all honesty… Uther was as selfless as he was selfish. His “good” was based on what others see as good. Arthas purging stratholme was the real hard good.

And Uther condemned a soul to eternal damnation out of “Justice”… If he wants justice find the soul of Ner’zhul.

They were the same entity. Arthas consumed the essence of Ner’zhul and rejected his own humanity in the years between WC3 and Wotlk.

He was a monster through and through.

Yeh this reframing of Arthas by people is weird.

He probably would have ended up going to the maw or maybe even revendreth. But Uther and the blue lady judged him, when it’s not their place to do so.

Ehm they where not? The blade corrupted him and the helmet made him one with Ner’zhul. They even point out in Wotlk that its weird the undead did not run over Azaroth as they easly could… Pointing out there was something keeping them from doing that.

THERE MUST ALWAYS BE A LICH KING.

I guess I may be the only person who didn’t like this animated episode.
I dislike Uther’s attitude here, like he was brainwashed and like he never trained that boy, like he never even knew him…like he never knew that it was Lich King and not Arthas…
Very unconvincing to me that Uther would do something like this.
Sylvanas? Absolutely.
Uther? No.

Even before becoming lich king, his soul was stained by the hundreds of innocents he killed in his purge.

Right or wrong choice, he was guilty regardless.

And then, he killed a lot of people as a death knight and as the lich king. Destroyed 80% of the blood elves, killed and revived thousands of people. Resulted in sylvanas, killed his master, father and basically his kingdom.

Guilty or not, he’s where he should be. The MAW.

Like i would legit see Uther not drop Arthas until he did drop him…

My bet is Uther is part of the reason the Shadowlands concept is corrupt now. Also why that tall smurfin turned him without permission to hasten the judgement of Arthas while keeping her hands “clean”. She did not condemn Arthas… Uther did you know.

Aye it’s possible. I’ll reserve my judgment until we see the whole thing unfold.
But definitely can’t see the REAL Uther doing something like that D:

I hate to bring up the bible as i aint religious… But as the light is obv based on that concept i do bring it up now as even the bible says to kill 1 man to save others is not deemed as an evil.

Do not forget what he purged would have died anyway withing a week and then go out and kill WAAYYYY more.

And do not forget this… While he was purging stratholme the light was still with him.

What I don’t get is…

SPOILER

How he remembers anything after ascending because afaik they forget everything in order to ascend :face_with_monocle:

What?
It’s like Uther threw him to the back of the bus so he can sit up front next to the teacher. Arthas is still the cool guy.

They must forget their past before they are ALLOWED to ascend. Why? Simple. The reason of this cinematic… First thing Arthur did with his new found power was to seek “justice” on some one from his past life.

You are not alone, I will help you! Arthas must be saved!

But dang the music when it showed Arthas dying hit me.

justice doesnt mean being tolerant to criminals it means retribution, punishing the scum. uther is in character

Frostmourne descended. The boy cried out, his shocked, betrayed, anguished cry—that of the wind raging outside—and for a moment Arthas saw him standing there, the blade buried in his chest almost as big as he was, and felt one final tremor of remorse as he met his own eyes. Then the boy was gone. All that remained of him was the bitter keening of the wind scouring the tormented land. It felt…marvelous. It was only with the boy’s passing that Arthas truly realized how dreadful a burden this last struggling scrap of humanity had been. He felt light, powerful, purged. Scoured clean, as Azeroth would soon be. All his weakness, his softness, everything that had ever made him hesitate or second-guess himself—it was all gone, now.

^ Arthas purging the last remnants of his humanity. ^

Yes!” the orc exhilarated, laughing almost maniacally. “I knew you would make this choice. For so long you have wrestled with the last dregs of goodness, of humanity in you, but no longer. The boy held you back, and now you are free.” He now got to his feet, his body still that of an old orc, but moving with the ease and fluidity of the young. “We are one, Arthas. Together, we are the Lich King. No more Ner’zhul, no more Arthas—only this one glorious being. With my knowledge, we can—” His eyes bulged as the sword impaled him. Arthas stepped forward, plunging the glittering, hungering Frostmourne ever deeper into the dream-being that had once been Ner’zhul, then the Lich King, and was soon to be nothing, nothing at all. He slipped his other arm around the body, pressing his lips so close to the green ear that the gesture was almost intimate, as intimate as the act of taking a life always was and always would be. “No,” Arthas whispered. “No we. No one tells me what to do. I’ve got everything I need from you—now the power is mine and mine alone. Now there is only I. I am the Lich King. And I am ready.” The orc shuddered in his arms, stunned by the betrayal, and vanished.

^ Arthas purging the essence of Ner’zhul. ^

Arthas and the Lich King were the same entity from that point onward. Every atrocity and every murder from that point on falls squarely on his shoulders.

The Boi went trough hell and witnessed "him"doing all that evil while resisting the end game from happening (undead unleashed).

Then to see him free and tossed in “Hell” for his decades of suffering.
