I kinda feel bad for Arthas. Because he tried to save his people no matter the cost, and sought vengeance, he lost his will to resist frostmourne. Probably only few mortals could resist the cursed blade. The fact that he didn't get a trial in front of the arbiter and got sent straight into the maw made me really sad. I wished Uther had a moment of clarity, that in his eyes, he would see Arthas before he got corrupted by the blade, the paladin prince he mentored.

Arthas will wake sooner or later.

Whoever makes these animated shorts is the reason i go back to wow

yeet

So is artas coming back to live?

Kinda useless to cast him into the maw when he served the maw to begin with. I guess what ever makes uther feel better.

Uther is going to rescue Arthas and make him “ascend” by giving him his wings. Then we’ll see Winged Arthas with the Primus/Runecarver essence inside him vs the Jailer. Badass.

We all know Arthas is going to inherit those wings and maybe the Primus/Jailer essence inside him

See this is what happens when it costs nothing to respec...Uther went from Holy to Retribution paladin real quick

Not vengeance. JUSTICE! Actual goosebumps.

daaam i dont even play this game but uther, uther is my man

bastion go brrr

Arthas must be in the maw somewhere right? He has to make an appearance at some point shouldn't he?

Bring back Arthas 😅

No one's ever really gone

Democrats on the 20th of January, 2021 be like: Harris : Now cast trump into the maw, reurn him to the darkness he served... his eternal suffering awaits... Biden : He was... my... president Harris : Remember what he did, and take your vengeance... Biden : Not vengeance... justice!

Uther realizes that he was wrong to want revenge and allows Bastion to hold him prisoner. One of them stops it and wants to understand what went wrong. Now to get rid of the darkness inside of him, so Uther can ascend into the light. I did the whole storyline, up to the defeat of the forsworn.

Yall know Uther tapped that.

The words "Father, is it, over..." mean so much. His torment of watching, knowing the thing's he's done while those he chose were gruesome, there were those he tried with everything within him to stop. In his last breath, hoping for peace and at long last he instead saw only eternal torment. It's something incredible to literally one minute see Arthas murder his mercenaries', his father and his people and the next pity him for a judgement he never deserved. Well done Blizzard, I only hope how little Arthas has to play in Shadowlands is as masterful as this.

Came here again after I finished Uthers book of heroes in hearthstone. The feels. 😭

Man... how much i want this style of uther as the paladin portrait i cant even explain

İt would look sooooo great

Or as a card

Bring arthas back 💙

he is still your student fool

I'm just not convinced of this added lorepiece. It just cheapens the whole afterlife scenario for warcraft. Reminds me of the plotholes the anime series Bleach kept receiving the further they delved into the afterlife lore.

Might Arthas be a future raid boss?

Anyone notice at 6:26 that when Uther says justice and the frame widens he looks just like that picture of Tyrael?

So Uther knows Arthas is a good boy. He knows the blade cursed him and the helm controls his body. Why UTHER become a pussyboy? BLIZZ hire better storywriters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct 1:25

Uther Lightbringer my favorite paladin

There is no evil in Bastion? Thats like saying "there is no ice in the freezer"

When "Arthas, My Son"/"Invincible" starts playing, got sucked right back into 2009 for a second there. Such a good song.

@Vholst yes it dropped there buts in the cinematic from 2008.

@Milton D sorry, meant the scene, which dropped with 3.3 at the end of 2009

*2008

Devos: He continues to demand retribution for his death. Uther: Justice demands retribution!

i finally understand what they are talking about after playing through the bastion part lol

I hope for the fans sake that Uther turns back to the light. He is misguided and i am sad to see such a iconic hero of Warcraft turn to darkness.

@Sninctbur Not all of them, Uther didnt know about the maw. If you finish the kyrian storyline many forsworn are being tortured or prisoners in the maw to force them to cooperate. After you kill Devos her second in command is torturing Uther in the maw.

@AbstractFactory The Forsworn are in cohorts with the Maw. Of course they’re evil.

I think they should have left the forsworn with the same design as regular Kyrian, to emphasize that it's a civil war. With their dark appearance they look obviously evil.

They did my girl Devos dirty in-game. She deserved so much more.

These trailers feel somehow more authentic than the CGI ones, like the art style gives it a depth that no other trailer could match.

4:03, this line makes absolutely no sense as a response to what she's saying.

He thinks that Arthas is an agent of the maw and can’t escape the Maw but instead Frostmourne is a weapon of the Maw and they don’t believe it’s entered a mortal realm.

Why all except draka gets killed by these shadowland cinematics...

Return arthas and this will be great again

Uther your son of ... Note : at the end, arthas' face bathes in light and is more and more illuminated, while Uther and the other chicken are totally in the shade ... A clue for the rest of the events? ;)

is that Tim Russ/Tuvok voicing ?

i feel bad for devos she only wanted to help Uther punish arthas and stop the maw in azeroth

These cinematics r so cool ! Imagine if the game itself was the same..

That ENOUGH is similiar to BAAL ENOUGH in trailer in diablo 2

They ought to make a movie about Arthas' life. And one about Illidan's.

Almost forgot to watch this today

Everyone laughing at how the Kyrians pick up and carry us when they literally showed us before launch that this would be the case 5:56

please let Arthas kill Uther again, put the heel down once and for all. the scourge never dies

I will demand that uther be murdered a thousand million times for loot for this sin

All I want are movies like this :)

Arthas did nothing wrong

Most sad scene in Andorhal. I never forget how a pathetic level 2 Dk plus 44 ghouls would beat a level 10 finest paladin with 6 knights. Ok, lore purposes...

The Forsworn did nothing wrong..

If we don't get to save Arthas then i'll be mad.

When sylvanas died I bet her bad soil came back and her good soul got trapped behind Sylvanas is going to sacrifice herself at the end of shadowlands. Partial redemption and final death.

It is vengeance, not justice. I disappointed in you, Uther.

I would rather to see this Devos as a Vigilante Centurion for Bastion than a Forsworn who is a combobreaker annoyance dungeon boss.

ME: Getting that Covid vaccine 3:33

There’s a fine line between vengeance and justice.

ARTHAS MY BOI!!!! LOOK HOW THEY BUTCHERED MY BOI!!!

I remember Uther words "I hope there's special place after life for you" and arthas said "maybe but im intend to live forever"

devos toss him into the maw destroy him uther no devos UTHER

Can't wait for Arthas's redemption plot

What is happening to Arthas now Is he going to come back lile uther did

what he said : he was my student ! what he meant : he was like a son to me !

I thought frostmourne was eating souls?... so why wasnt the soul of uther in frostmourne like all the others?..... when you kill arthas in wow you see how the souls escape after his death so wtf? His soul even appeared in the halls of reflection in wow to warn jaina when she spoke with the souls in frostmourne. So wtf blizzard. You forgot your own sh**, well just want to sell stuff hmm? Like the pandaria for china, you still didnt apologize for the pandas wow died after wotlk r.i.p.

look at the moment of his death, you see his soul split, 1 part goes in to frostmourne other to bastion, as he pleaded to the light to save his soul, seems light did best it could.

So now that everyone knows where they are going when they die, does that mean everyone will commit suicide after the Shadowlands is saved? I mean the dead can now enter the living world so...ya.

Amazing

man, who ever did the scream on uther death,just go voice acting on attack on titans,you ll have better ending there.I hope not....

Arthas is in the maw, CONFIRMED. Hopefully we can see him again

this gives me chills, so good.

I personally think arthas deserves revendreth

Devos THICC af tho. No wonder Uther follows that booty 😄

His soul was split , one went to light and one shadowlands, wtf is going on with lors

So did Devos die completely? I haven’t seen it yet.

Arthas 💖💖💖

It only just occurred to me. When Uther says "He was my student", he does not pity Arthas. He blames himself for everything that led to what is about to happen. He basically has one large "My God, what have I done" moment and realizes that if he proceeds, there will be no turning back for him.

i mean seriously. where does wow go from here? they are essentially in the afterlife now. LOL it should of ended ages ago and gone with a wow 2 with how much they have changed the lore. not even any of the faction leaders are the same anymore say may be thrall.

Afterlife in our world is a fairytale. In World of warcraft, everything gets killed which is more fitting. I

6:03 I would've spared Arthas and given him forgiveness the moment the music hits the suspense is powerful.

Are the Paragons Val'kyr???

No. Vykrul are ascended into Val’kyr.

I used to vilify uther for this, until I remembered the time I accidentally saved my father's life as a child. If I could go back now and be in this position, I would've said and done exactly the same.

Update is been revealed: Devos is destroyed.

woaaw💩

I just hate what we have to do to Devos, and so early in expansion... Such a great character!

Underrated comment. Devos was indeed a great character.

Невероятно 🦢🦢🦢

So this cinematic played throughout Wrath of the Lich King, the same as Afterlives Maldraxxus played after Draka's death and Ursoc after his defeat at Emerald Nightmare. (Or Ursol, I don't remember who is who.)

Uther at the end. For a second he was about to take the fall for Arthas, it WAS his failure for not going with him that drove him to such lengths, but rage is powerful motivator, maybe coated with a pretty "j" word last thing to do was yeet

5:25. Arthas: Us. Devos: 2021

wow the Archon not listening and being blind to the world's affairs has caused so much of this.

Arthas did nothing wrong.

What do Arthas, Kael'thas, Garrosh, Sylvanas and Jailer all have in common? They did nothing wrong.

6:19 no uther dont throw me into brazil

I honestly hate that we kill Devos cause she’s not wrong

I mean, Archon finally realizes they were wrong. But it took many peeps

Really is concerning for the over-all story of Shadowlands when Devos, a character introduced through the first afterlives video is basically a dungeon boss and not a shred of it is explained in-game. She just randomly decided to work for the jailer after finding out what the Maw's power did to Uther? It's just really dumb.

Jailer did nothing wrong lol

And thus a villain was born of light.

Arthas: "Still not giving you my WiFi password." Uther: (throws him into the Maw.)

This very well might be the best cinematic blizzard has ever made.

Arthas looks so peaceful :(

@Milton D No it was not genocide. Genocide means killing and eradicating an entire race/species. Stratholme was a massacre and a necessary one. They were all plagued and about to turn into undead. Also do you know the definition of sadism? Arthas never expressed sadism you should read some of warcraft's novels to understand his character better. He always have been compassionate and duty driven.

@Sir Whitemeat Wrong he wasn’t a pure soul he was evil and sadistic and Ner’zul tempted the bad pieces of him and ultimately made him the Lich King. A paladin does not take the life of an innocent. Stratholme was genocide against his own people.

He only wanted to save his people... If the Arbiter was to feel all Arthas felt during his life every moment every decision he had to make you can feel only compassion for him. He was the most selfless and pure soul. He knew what needed done like in Stratholme where Uther and Jaina betrayed him. Many people will say he deserved this but he did not. He died when he took Frostmourne, even the purest can be corrupted and twisted by the Maw. You will see this with Devos as well, she ment well the whole time but got corrupted. Arthas deserved Bastion.

не венджигнс, а джаджмент...

I wonder when did Devos got her weird helmet
