Arthas vs. Illidan Warcraft 3 Reforged (Fan Edit)

I tried to make a less cringey version of the Arthas and Illidan final battle cinematic from Reforged.
The main bad things that i tried to hide/fix:
-Arthas' face!
-Arthas and Illidan should not be smiling. That makes no sense. Both of them have the weight of the world on their shoulders, as badass as they are, they both should look nervous because everything is at stake and neither can afford to lose.
-There's no music to build tension and emotions.
-Illidan morphing then flying towards Arthas just to get hit doesn't make any sense.
-Arthas losing Frostmourne then running to pick it up!
-Unlike Reforged, the iconic slash from the original was clearly impactful, you can see arthas charging then putting weight behind the slash.

Now, this is much better. I now know that Blizzard will never be same as the old Blizzard we all used to know.

[@jaimegutier273]

The old blizzard still had to rely in some talent in order to sell their games. Newer blizzard is fat, lazy and with lots of money already to care at all for their quality in games.

[@PaladinKhoronis]

It's even better at 1.25 speed. Gets nice dynamic.

[@Jreicher17]

I want to replace the actual cinematic with this

[@DanyloSyrotynskyy]

Arthas face looks much better

[@wolfspirit7733]

This is actually better than the original one I too agree with that part that Illidan shouldn't transform to (lose) the fight, otherwise he would have won by a common sense, and if Arthas is running to capture his sword, then Illidan would have killed him by a slashing charge from behind. I still believe that Warcraft IV would be greatest RTS ever, since it'll continue the story for its fans without WoW.

[@AmitCinematicUniverse]

This is better than the official version.

[@dnpdjfdlwmejshty7947]

Now that's an old school!

[@luciantr6207]

damn, that's better for sureeeee, a good thing u removed the shity things like both of them smiling and the action it's simple but perfect without nonesens moves

[@deepstrasz]

I guess the current times of "epicness" are the cause of why this scene became so gibberish in Reforged.

[@bh7742]

It was moreso Frostmourne fighting for Arthas. In the novel, Illidan taunts Arthas with his mastery of war glaives , but Arthas realizes Frostmourne is a part of him now, enabling him the deliver a winning blow.

[@ShinOrochi]

It's better than the actual cinematic for sure, but I still don't like how the fight went here compared to the original. This cinematic needs a serious remake with better direction and chronological (And of course with music lol). But still, I appreciate your effort of makes the cinematic look less cringe and stupid.

[@sentrystormreaver]

I mean, they should fight with everything they've got and not some _plot armor_ lol (i like both)

[@bipolareagle8892]

i really hate the cheezy slow motion dramatic sliding. its so damn corny

[@Johnny11Walker]

Very unfortunate, that youtube recommends a lot of, why we hate reforged, but no content of fans who fix it. I still have notstalgia for the classic anime style attacks, but this one is at least not cringy at all. I also like the ending much more. Good job done!

[@El-Dorado930]

Is illidan the only character to get hit by frostmourne and not die?

[@oussama_016]

Better than the original thx you

[@joaoplobojorn]

Ilidan would never lose to Arthas. Ilidan -- MultiClass Night Elf - Warrior and Demon hunter - Mage and Demon - Have a Sargeras Eyes and a Skull of Guldan with the Sargeras Avatar Powers Arthas - Human Death Knight and Frostmorn. Unfair

[@doomcat2633]

In the original warcraft 3, Illidan lost because of a miscalculation( he jumped and arthas took advantage of it and striked), and didn't the eye of sargeras got destroyed or something because if it didn't why didnt Illidan just perform another spell to destroy Northrend

[@Kolobok1691]

Illidan: virgin anime fan Arthas: chad enjoyer That's it

[@kirabara2507]

Much better imo...

[@refusaofazeroth4770]

-Arthas' face! -Alrighty, you make it as well. It's good that Arthas looks serious in a fight like this. -Arthas and Illidan should not be smiling.-You don't know anything about Warcraft Characters Behavior it looks like. Illidan is a very arrogant and self-righteous person, it's normal for Illidan to smile after Arthas charge against him. The biggest reason for losing this struggle is that Illidan is arrogant and self-righteous. -There's no music to build tension and emotions. -This one is great you make it, Putting on music showed the struggle better. -Illidan morphing then flying towards Arthas just to get hit doesn't make any sense. -Yeah, when Illidan Morphing then flying towards Arthas just to get hit, it's so foolish... but your edit, when Arthas hits that Illidan finish the fight so quickly so bad... but It could have been like this. When Illidan Morphing then flying it might have been more pleasant for him to throw a Felfire at Arthas, then catch him and take off the air, fight a little more in the air and throw him on the ground. -Arthas losing Frostmourne then running to pick it up! -This is also weird, yeah. When Arthas losing Frostmourne then running to pick it up... so weird to me, but It's good that when Arthas runs to get Frostmourne, those footstep voices as he approaches Frostmourne, and the glow on Frostmourne's skull that's pretty cool, so badass. -Unlike Reforged, the iconic slash from the original was clearly impactful, you can see arthas charging then putting weight behind the slash.-Yes, we can see that in the original Warcraft 3, after charging, that the slash put weight behind it, that's pretty cool. But, in the Reforged, that Frostmourne hit slash, not too bad when Arthas charging and hits with Frostmourne. Overall, of course, the sound and effects, the clash between the two is better in the Reforged.

[@inr9751]

Your comment is hard to read, i wasn't sure until the very end whether you liked Reforged or not.

[@fucorophnus6121]

much more better. shame blizz

[@seeinred]

It's insane how some dude on youtube (no offense lol) made a version ten times better then """reforged""" made by blizzard. Such a clear sign of how the mighty had fallen.

[@lloydaaronmenioria4447]

Illidan will always have the possibility to lose a fight against arthas. Arthas once a restless warrior with sleepless experience. While illidan is only an immortal elve using ego against his opponents.

[@CrabDougnut]

Illidan participated in the war of the ancients. Here, Arthas was bolstered by the powers of the lich king. Even if Ner'zhul was weakened, he's still one of the most powerful characters in Warcraft. Also, yeah Illidan has unmatched bravado but he sure can back it up with his experience, powers and knowledge

[@Strider30]

What if Arthas was a keyboard warrior. Like legit a Blizzard employee or MOD. We just have a medieval dark age version of him. Because that is someone else perception of the character and what he did. I once knew a "Arthas" in a old WC3 lobby back in the day when Competitive LAN WC3 and Competitive Internet WC3 was a thing and had 'The Leader Ladder Board'. The name had a "blue BZ" by it. Like this. Arthas 'BZ'. He had a Teamspeak he said and was busy and couldn't talk to anyone.

[@cegesh1459]

This is the same trash
