9.2 Eternity’s End (2022): Arthas' Fate - All Cutscenes in ORDER [Pre Dragonflight Lore]

[@Athelarius]

Next Chapter: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2KoaHtnjNeHq8k (Sylvanas Epilogue: Judgement) Previous Chapter: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXi0onR4hLJsqbc Ch1. The Lion & The Banshee: 2:38 Ch2. Chains of Domination: 7:45 Ch3. End of Reality: 12:22 Ch4. The DreadLords: 16:40 Ch5. Elune & Tyrande: 25:47 Ch6. Arthas & Uther: 36:01 Ch7. Eternity's End: 47:49 Hiya Folks! A catchup compilation for the upcoming final chapter to Shadowlands, Eternity's End. This is not meant to be in order but more rather, a collection of the main storylines going forward into the patch. Interesting to see more of Zovie's ULTIMATE plan, as he snaps the Sigil Gauntlet and rewrites history, Sylvanas did nothing wrong, undead paladin & former Lich King becomes crystal essence, and angry elf calmly calms down. Ah well, the voice acting, music and cinematic team is always top notch!

[@northp3214]

I just noticed that every faction leader and even bolvar did literally nothing with this expansion. Great writing Blizz🤣

[@ChuckyG0]

Bolvar was leading covenants forces in Korthia, and with Thrall and Jaina was fighting Sylvanas and Jailer in Sanctum of Domination, so i wouldnt say "nothing" if i were you

[@Athelarius]

Well I mean Bolvar did go from sitting in Oribos to chilling in Korthia. And then does some standing in Zereth Mortis.

That was an EPIC catch up and reminder of where we are pre 9.2. Thank you Athelarius

[@Athelarius]

Glad to hear it helped as a catch-up. The lore has gotten a bit convoluted since Shadowlands hit, so doing the best to have it flow in a way that makes sense.

[@Kareszkoma]

Arthas deserved better. The Jaina and Arthas love line deserved better. Uther. Frostmourne, the Helm of Domination. All those great stories made, all of them deserved better.

[@elpierz]

Arthas' soul was the first victim to be consumed by the sword, and they kept searching for his soul in the body of the Lich King and accusing Arthas of all sins. Arthas is gone when he picked up the Frostmourne. He got his freedom along with the other souls (remember the color of his eyes when he looked at his father), but was stolen then. Uther threw that real Arthas' soul into The Maw and I hate him

[@Kareszkoma]

@@elpierz I understand what you say. And you wrote it well. But I don't accept the new lore. The helm was broken in two. What keeps the scourge at place than? Bolvar easily defeated. Sylvannas and her plotline. Torching of Teldrassil. The whole Anduin thing. The Jailor and this whole new realm. I just don't want to. Arthas was trapped in that sword. But was heavily influencing the Lich King. Staying his hand. Not to mention Uther. It's just not okay.

[@elpierz]

​@@Kareszkoma thank you for taking the time to respond. Shadowlands is my nightmare because I love Arthas. Even if the Frostmourne is able to split souls in two (the story of Sylvanas), the good part of his soul was a prisoner of the sword and could not resist it, and the dark part (revenge, anger, guilt) even more merged with the evil will of Ner'zhul and the Jailer. But both parts were sentenced to death. Why? It's so unfair. This whole plot is a tragedy. One man against the strongest forces of darkness. What were his chances? After so many years, Blizzard returned to Arthas' grave and trampled flowers, broke the tombstone, mocked his body and ordered to forget his name. It's killing me.

[@Kareszkoma]

​@@elpierz Yeah. I know. It happens. I remember when WOTLK came out. You know how the end of Warcraft 3 Wrath of the Lich King was that Arthas took on the helmet, and sit upon the throne? No more? A big unknown and cliffhanger. Ancient story by now. Such a legendary story, and came to an end. That was the heroes journey. Than came WOTLK with the continuity. Explanations. What exactly happened in the Helmet. That the combined soul of Nerzhul, the Lich King, and Arthas, had to brew together, reshaped, reformed, and made against as the Lich King. The old orcs voice, no longer listened to. Arthas voice, is no longer listened to. But.. There was a young boy in there, still influencing the Lich King. The tragedy continued. Arthas realized too late, but still saw hope. To help the people. To stay the hand of the Lich King, an ultimate weapon unchained with a brilliant and harsh tactic against the living. He set doubts in his head. The Death Knights were made and they rebelled. New champions were needed. The Scourge is just not strong enough. Whispers of doubt. Even than, in the Halls of Reflection, or at other places, glimpses of the lost hero. And so, came the end. The Lich King invited his own enemies into his castle and he was defeated. He made his own undoing and Bolvar made the sacrifice. Arthas did all he could. His artifacts that he kept, of Jaina, Muradin, Uther, he remembered. He hadn't let go. Finaly, Arthas could rest. After his mistakes, his tragedy, his journey, it was done. The story came to an end. For me, this is the end of that Era. The story was finished. The new story, just doesn't fit there. Not the new realm, not Sylvannas, nothing. I'm sorry the new story hurts you. Really. It did so for me too. But, it's how it is. I really enjoyed wotlk, even if it made me a bit toxic. It was part of my life for a while. Loved Arthas and his story, the Warcraft universe. But it's done.

[@Athelarius]

The expansion had a LOT of potential with the theme they had going. Especially with all the long dead characters like Kale, Alexandros, and Arthas that seem to be sitting on sidelines and one is now a crystal essence. I’d like to see what the finale holds, but Shadowlands start had so much potential especially with Denathrius, the best character out of all this.

[@monsteratemehcookie]

After I watched this again, I realized Blizzard botched Sylvanas so bad, there is really no redemption for her character. For someone so triggered over "serve", she has no trouble making others serve her will as demonstrated over the forsaken storyline after she gained major attention in Legion. She has no trouble killing those she deemed unworthy to serve her just because they wanted to see their living family members at Arathi gate. She has no trouble commanding Anduin to serve or else. But she got triggered cuz Zovval mentioned the word "serve?" Her development in last 2 xpac + SL completely destroyed her "struggling to save her forsaken" storyline developed through vanilla to MoP.

[@AurioDK]

Fanboys will be fanboys, I doubt most of them know the lore though, especially the tragedy concerning the family gatherings in Arathi.

[@Sunshine-zm1fx]

I honestly think they underestimated how popular of a character she'd become. That's why I think the redemption arc happened. To be honest, she is one of the characters in the entire game whose personality is completely understood and clear. She has layers, and her voice actress is amazing. Even her dialog is usually pretty good, which always surprises me in video games.

[@justinstarr5930]

Blizz, not listening to the fan base? Again?

[@chriskay1449]

SO? There is a big difference over people serving you and you serving others. Sher never wanted to serve. She wanted people to serve her. Nothing triggered about it.

[@Bob.Roberts]

Let's be honest here, Sylvanus and her motives have been so wishy washy since beyond wotlk, it's impossible to determine what she will do next to accomplish her flavor-of-current-xpac goals. This latest situation she's in, was she not in a very similar conundrum, not so long ago, hmm? "I will help this totally-not walking epitome of betrayal to gain 'freedom' because there's No Way it will come back upon me towards the end!". How can she say that she will never serve, when she helped the antagonist every freakin' step of the way, only changing her mind when it was too late to stop him? She must really enjoy the drama. I admire her design, and her voice actor is excellent, but as far as a cohesive character concept, she's completely inconsistent, except with maybe her ability to bugger things up so bad, it takes the entire planet of heroes and beyond to undo it. Maybe that's the point: Sylvanus is the Neverending Grand Mulligan of WoW. I gotta say though, this multiple colored sigils that represent a certain 'aspect' is giving me a weird Infinity War/MLP Friendship is Magic vibes.

[@dragossebastianiancu3978]

"We cannot change the past... And we may never find forgiveness in the future... But inaction damns us all" It's just a game and all, but hearing uther telling that (which is also very relatable in my case to Sylvanas which was my favorite character since wc3 roc got my eyes sweaty.

[@StormsparkPegasus]

The funny thing, with competent writing and proper buildup, this story COULD have worked. But they would've had to have come up with Zovaal a long time ago and actually built him and his motivations up properly. Rather than pulling him out of their ass and retconning the entire story. He is the most generic "evil overlord" villain I have ever seen in media. No motivations, no buildup, no story. Just "I am evil" and the most generic thing ever "I only did it because there's an even greater evil out there". And they only did this so they could copy a FFXIV trailer and say "Look, we had this story planned from the beginning too!". I guess it's fitting that he turned into a robot at the end, he might as well have been a robot the whole time.

[@rhysioeren3203]

[@SoulDevoured]

As an outsider all I hear wow players whine about is how "wrath of the lich king was best" "wc3 had the best story" and "Arthas was the best villain" in the last few years y'all got both and it was a shitshow. I think there's some truth to it but I think part of it is nostalgia and constantly whining about how it should be what it was when it literally can't causes things like shadowlands and WC reforged. As far as I can tell warcraft has always had lazy story telling in some form or another. WC and wotlk were "good" in large part because they were stories that had already been told. Blizzard tried to have it both ways, give easy fan service and fall onto lazy storytelling as they always have while undoubtedly rushing and cutting content due to the pandemic. And now there's even more people whining about how blizzard shouldn't try new things. I agree, they shouldn't tell radically new stories because that is not their strength. Nor should they just remake wow every other expansion. There's good stories to be told using the wow universe. And you can't criticize that as lazy because it's literally always been that way. You're basically saying that you don't like Warcraft when you complain about the good guys being good guys and the bad guys being bad guys and how the vengeance story is boring and all... Yeah. That's wow... It reminds me very much of Game of thrones. People whine so much about what they want to see that it just makes the problem of already having weak writers with limited originality far worse. Shoehorned and service is hard to avoid when your fans never shut up about how your thing is shit now because it doesn't have fan stuff. Lol

Also expected much more with the whole Shadowlands theme. Had a pretty decent expansion start but then the story just fell flat.

[@Destroyer2150]

Blizzard is trying to force down Sylvannas' redemption arc on us, and the method they have chosen is spin wheel "It was an evil copy the whole time!" That is not real redeemption. It's shifting blame. I guess the writers at Blizzard are fans of soap operas or something. Blizzard writters continue to do this kind of thing where characters either don't face the consequences of their actions or have another character do it for them. In the end, Tyrande's Eyeliner was evil, and Sylvanis Blue Skin was evil. Good to know that these people aren't responsible for their actions and can be redeemed into marketable characters fit for merchandising.

[@filthyshoggoth]

@@Destroyer2150 False. It was a plot point in WC3 that Arthas made her a Banshee, and took her free will. (You can argue morality minus free will if you'd like, but I prefer to beat my head against less fatal walls.) They didn't pull any spin with Syl, they're just bad writers. The spin is Uther blaming himself for Arthas, which is as bad writing, if not worse, than Thrall blaming himself for Garrosh. The writers seem to think the Holocaust might just be Poland's fault for not giving Hitler their country on a platter.

acknowledging that Sylvanas's Ideals and Morality were severed from her anger, impulse, hatred, and other failings does not redeem her, it just offers her opportunity to attempt to rectify a single action.

thank you . I lost my job and income since beginning of pandemic . can't subscribe to wow anymore . but thank you for beautiful presentation of warcraft lore

[@thorleif8170]

If only Sylvanas and Tyrande was real :) Omg what has this game done to me :p

[@assassinscreedmaniak]

Let’s be honest. We were all expecting some major characters returning to wow when shadowlands was announced. Personally i was waiting for Arthas to be like. Y’all ready to have some fun again? And 1 person whom i hoped for the most was Varian Wrynn. I hoped it so much that they would bring the badass leader of the alliance back. Good thing i couldn’t be disappointed by his return because up until now this whole fucking expansion is a disappointment.

[@the_furry_inside_your_walls639]

Varian's soul was destroyed by Gul'dan. The only thing that came back of him was a memory that Anduin had while he was trying to break free from the Mournblade that the Jailer had forged to keep him under his control.

[@Macrocosmnouveauriche]

Happy new year

[@fredericdeloffre6644]

I left wow at Woltk and was before an avid warcraft 2 and 3 player. Quite sad to witness that the lore I loved so much by its logic and nuance got reduced to this loads of bullshit. Thank you for the video though, help to keep me up to date.

We will never forgive or forget! And we will never surrender!

Be careful truth is what is changing forever ♾

[@blacktemplarbarachel3387]

Bruh why is everyone out to hate on arthas he was really corrupted and used before being tossed aside by the company and the story stop hating on him Jesus he wasn’t that bad

[@Max-ej4oh]

And Stormwind had... a brigade of Gryphon riders flying around the city? Probably they were defias undercover. Just karma'd Anduin.

“Maybe shouldn’t leave the King exposed in the far corner of the city?” “Nobody expects the angels of death to swoop in from the sky” “We are SO fired”

[@marcelofolhas]

where can u see those cinematics in game? i’ve played the expansion but i didnt see the ones where sylvs and the jailer talks

[@cjg3496]

To be honest even with anything I desire I would not truly be complete without my family and friends maybe here maybe out there maybe in the future but at least that desire that true desire is stronger than anything else

[@requiem1123]

what does that have to do with anything

[@cjg3496]

@@requiem1123 Long story even I can’t explain

[@adamsargent8929]

So does her Soul being back mean she's Alive and a High Elf again, or is she still a Banshee just with a soul?

[@Athelarius]

Apparently the Jailer returned her Ranger Soul back. So she’s technically alive and breathing again at the end of that raid cinematic.

[@danimalx23]

These aren't in order that they came out in gameplay are they? Seems to go back and forth in time.

[@AnotherBeerMovie]

Thank you :)

[@jarrodbrennan121]

did tyrande really think choking sylvannas was going to do anything? im pretty sure sylvannas doesnt need to breathe to survive considering shes not alive. blizzard wtf

[@Bogdanuser]

The withered one will react to this !

[@ericmedlock]

I'm fairly new to wow, is this content only visible to raiders?

[@rakanishut]

I want Sylvanas dead, she murdered our beloved Gilnean prince, destroyed my city Gilneas and my alchemy business, then she burned down Darnassus which was my new home and my new alchemy shop! A I am now a poor worgen rogue who tries to make a living!

[@edbotikx]

Worgens deserve it

[@Athelarius]

I still remember the rumors of when the ruined Park district was going to be the new Worgen district. And I really wish the Gilneas storyline would’ve continued after Cataclysm. Such a tragic end for Liam.

[@filthyshoggoth]

Who let the RPer out of Goldshire?

[@haoxus9413]

I liked the ending of arthus. He embraced lichking and jailors control, become a puppet, and had no agency of himself. The last flicker represented what's remained of his original soul, after stripping the dark influences. A sad anticlimactic ending of him, yet fitting, in my humble opinion

[@edarioq]

World of hand channeling

[@Barracuda_FFxiv]

Nice catch. My Heart dieing to see that Game dieing forever...

[@shaynethegmann]

They assassinated so many characters this expansion

[@menulisluna8653]

Welcome to what 🇨🇳 China Entertainment 🇨🇳 has become lol

[@jorgebellidolavado6382]

Story execution, the only reason for a casual to play the game, excluding the normal raid and dungeons (Torgasth is just too mandatory to be fun except, may be, twisted corridors). Still, zooval is not as good as arthas. Danuser need to go.

[@kaeaja]

At 28:10 Why was it that Tyrande's power weakening?

[@bradandrews777]

No wonder so many people left WoW. This really sucks.

[@civi41588]

14:58 That's how I wanna see Sylvanas but from behind ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@Short_Throttle]

Shadowmoren Spotted 😂

[@cjg3496]

Even though he’s basically the worst character it’s still very interesting watching the story plus it’s good to see some of my favourite characters enough said

[@cainabel6356]

Which one is basically teh worst character. I have seen several of them. The Jailer and that soon to be arbiter dude.

[@ZenGardenOzone]

Whats the music at the end of the video?

[@crabymoth]

i was wondering how can the injured night elf shout without coughing ?

[@bastalam]

I just watched the end vid of new raid and I honestly can't tell what was the insistence on having sylvanas after SoD raid? Did I miss something or was her purpose being there was just to annoy fanbase? She didn't provide or do anything we already didn't know of or couldn't do. I really hope that Dansure guy steps down (not fired - He needs to eat) and have someone else take the lead. Also if rumors that Dansure never read or knew anything about the old lore are true than whoever made that decision to make him the lead also needs to step down. Way to destroy the legacy of your own IP.

[@Chittysushi]

Now that I've been playing FFXIV for about 8 months now I've realized what good story was like, watching this compilation which seems to be in chronological order of the story is not only weak but makes no damn sense to me...🤦🏻‍♂️. I don't know if I'll come back for the prepatch and/or 10.0 but I thought BfA was bad, Shadowlands was somehow worse. Blizzards needs to remove restrictions based off of reputations or time gating by telling the story like final fantasy 14. Just give the main story first then patches as follow up content. If you love this game I'm happy for you but watching this just reminded me why I moved on but I can tell they need a Legion like Win for 10.0 because last I heard from Asmondgold that WoW only has 1 million subscribers which is pretty bad considering even what they had in WoD after people left.

[@nickmessner700]

The story definitely is weak and confusing at times, but I do have to point out that this is NOT in chronological order. They are separated by themes. If this was chronological it would be an absolute headfuck lol

[@celiovicenteribeirofilho9740]

If you want something better from people like Danuser and his minions, you'll have to replace them with winged apes.

[@tomaskorganoff2779]

Clickbait into 3 min of 9.2 cinamtics* proper title fixed

[@StormsparkPegasus]

Everyone talks about how "cunning" Zovaal is, but he's just a generic evil overlord with no development, no motivations, no real character at all. I guess it's appropriate that he turned into a robot at the end. This expansion was the epitome of "tell don't show" which is a cardinal sin of storytelling.

[@mattwest5403]

So the new raids are still not available and I dodge realize that yesterday as I was getting better gear...kinda misleading on Blizzard part when you can't access most of the new material. Wonder why they don't just release it all the new material at the same time since that's how they advertise it? 🙄💀
