Why was there never a movie made about Arthas and his evolution?

At the end of Shadowlands she gets sent to the Maw to collect souls from her deeds.

>i’m killing these le people for the greater le good, I am morally complex
>aghhh an evil demon inside a sword has now brainwashed me and I am evil
Yea Forumstards think this is compelling

The story is too complicated and cutting stuff would make it bad
Imagine trying to explain to general audiences what the Lich King is, or all the Illidan shit you'd have to include if you wanted it to end with their fight
It would take multiple movies and after the last Warcraft movie didn't do great in the box office no one's going to stick their neck out for another one, let alone two

no it wouldn't, it's not a particularily original or interesting story, you're just blinded by nostalgia

No shit but he was being an arrogant dickhead about it. If he didn't sperg out, they could have discussed it.

lmao gottem hahahaha

>hasn't read the novel or played the games including wotlk
Atleast try next time fag

didnt it make a billion chinkbucks or am i misremembering

Probably the most reasonable answer

Illidan was better

most things can be explained through context or exposition. start the movie a few weeks before the culling of stratholme.
>movie opens with arthas seeing over his future kingdom, flirting with jaina,
>goes to strath to investigate a plague
>glad you could make it uther
>arthas + heroes cull strath, encounter mal'ganis
>exposition ensues
>arthas goes on a quest to hunt down mal'ganis
>arthas finds frostmourne
>arthas v. illdan in northrend
>arthas puts on helm
END OF MOVIE 1

SEQUEL
>arthas wreaking havoc on azeroth
>kirin tor and faction leaders meet to discuss plans
>some info on silver hand, lights hope, tirion, etc.
>tournament is held to find heroes to fight arthas
>bolvar + wrathgate scene
>siege of icecrown citadel
>sindragosa
>fight the lich king
END MOVIE 2

It did okay but studios are really gunning for 1B+ these days

I think it'd work better doing all of WC3 as a TV series

Season 1:
Human Campaign, ends with Arthas going to Northrend
Some Jaina OC subplot
Night Elf campaign, ends with Illidan being freed
Thrall's upbringing as a slave, becoming a shaman, and rise to Warchief, ends with Thrall meeting Medivh with the call to go to Kalimdor and setting sail

Season 2
Arthas finds Frostmourne, kills his father, becomes an undead and genocides the elves.
Jaina subplot culminates in you caring about Dalaran getting wiped out by Archimonde
Illidan being crazy, Nelf campaign, story ends at Mount Hyjal
Thrall and Grom's story, stuff with Mannoroth that leads up to Hyjal finale

Season 3 is just Arthas making it to the frozen throne and Illidan's bizarre adventures building his motley crew of Naga, Blood Elves and Demon Hunters to destroy the Legion/Arthas

Could be kino.

As long as it was fully CGI and not the abominable hybrid the movie was i'd watch it...

you were wrong on v and you're wrong here too.

FOR THE HORDE!

>Good guy turns evil
Wow so deep.

>evil
filtered

>killing your own father is... LE GOOD

He knew the sword was possessed and still took it because he was obsessed with revenge. It killed his close friend and he didn't care. He made his own choices.

Played a blood elf pally named after my favorite pornstar at the time. Good times. I miss you WoW.

It was called Star Wars

he lost his soul to frostmourne.

Post examples of dishonest filmmaking. And the rare true kinos:

My best friend and I played blood elf pally and mage together, really good times. I still have screenshots on my old hard drive. One time I ran into my other friend at school who was on the opposite faction and killed him, and I printed out the screenshot and took it to school to fuck with him. I still have it in my room.

Pic related. For shame.

That’s why it worked. He was right and that propelled him farther toward evil. He goes from unambiguously good to making clearly necessary but still arguably ambiguous decisions to increasingly vile ones to selling his soul. It isn’t just a fucking switch he flips and he becomes evil, as others have said he makes increasingly desperate decisions to win.

I could do it in 12 scenes, 4 set pieces

>roadside tavern
under stormy skies, the young hero meets Uther (Branagh) to strategize against orcs

>forest road at night
Arthas sees and hears troubling things in the woods, the first inkling that there's something more than just orc violence

>set piece: orc camp battle
Uther and Arthas and bros defeat the orcs, but KINO woman and children sacrifice from the game occurs.

>Jaina
Jaina (Scoledario) tells Arthas about the plague and they split off from Uther to investigate. In my version, they're already friends and mutually attracted

>the last summer of Lordaeron
Jaina and Arthas travel through the eerily beautiful, hushed forest land, charged with energy. Lordaeron invisibly teetering on the brink of great change.

>set piece: plague magic
Arriving at another quaint, perfect little village, A&J are set upon by really disgusting, terrifying zombies. They slaughter zombies and cultists, but see that infected grain has already gone out. The peace of their journey and playful courtship is permanently shattered.

>Uther's cowardice
At Stratholme, Arthas begs Uther to see reason. but Uther, the realm's greatest and most righteous paladin, can't accept the enormity of what's coming. Nor does he have the resolve to resist Arthas with his own knights. He flees.

>set piece: Stratholme
In my version, Jaina tries to help Arthas with the killing, but the gore quickly overwhelms her. Arthas and his knights wade through piles of corpses and half-turned zombies, retching and weeping as they butcher men, women, children, old people, and pets. Mal'Ganis (F. Murray Abraham) appears and does horrible demonic things to people. He gives Arthas a vision of Northrend

>boat launch
Arthas provisions ships with the bloodstained wares of Stratholme and sets off immediately, partly to escape the king's messengers. Jaina accompanies him, but after an argument she simply teleports away.

>daggercap
He had inside knowledge that Muradin (Wee Man) was in Northrend, and immediately found the dwarven expedition, mostly drunk and sedentary in their bunkers beneath the snow. What Muradin says about Frostmourne coincides with the vision, and the two set off into the creepiest landscape yet.

>frostmourne
In the instant his vision is fulfilled, Arthas's mind breaks. All the horror and gore of the plague rushes in, and he sees the faces of stratholme mocking him. Muradin is struck by flying ice and presumably killed, and Mal'Ganis triumphantly appears. The scene ends with Arthas shoving frostmourne through Malganis's face.

>set piece: the fall of Lordaeron
The viewer doesn't know if killing Mal'ganis solved anything when Arthas arrives home. He's not as clearly evil as he is in the cinematic, and still looks sorrowful. Yet, he kills the king. The king's mages strike down his men, but they're massacred by frostmourne. The alarm raised, hundreds of knights arm themselves against arthas. but around the city, smoke is seen from ritual pyres, and the dead rush in from all sides.

fin.

He's le ebil rich white man in the eyes of nuBlizzard
WoW was a mistake and the story should've been continued just in Warcraft 4

GLAD YOU COULD BAKE IT, UTHER

Cool

Not sure about the ending.

I'm open to suggestions. Thinking about it now, Uther's character needs closure. I would at least add a shot showing that he and the Silver Hand are in the capital city when Arthas returns.

Spoiler alert: Warcraft's story was never good and Arthas is boring

Steve Danuser ruined Uther in Shadowlands. What's the point, anymore?

>Warcraft's story was never good
wrong
>Arthas is boring
only after he becomes undead

what does idris elba have to do with GoT

I dunno. I followed WoW up until about cata, but as far as I'm concerned the MMO has never had story in the proper sense, far less a real continuation of the WC3 story. At the very least, anything after Wrath is utterly off the rails, but the best parts of the warcraft "story" are all Frozen Throne and earlier.

>Why was there never a movie made about Arthas and his evolution?
It was never because translating a video game into a film usually fails. This is the same type of thinking that led to Marvel films and, more recently, Netflix's Cowboy Bebop turd.
You think you want it, but you don't. Stop trying to translate shit into other mediums.

Because Bobby Kocklick grossly mismanages everything he's in charge of. Imagine having one of the best cg teams in existence and not selling Netflix a 10 episode show about one of your franchises.

is that some kind of multiverse Uther? He dies in the fall of Lordaeron and is conclusively dead in WoW, right?

I have this same thought yearly

no. its uther but his soul was broken with some of it going into frostmourne and some not. eventually he gets it all back and becomes a cuck like every other male character in WoW

please fuck off. anyone who treats warcraft """lore""" with any weight need to be sent to a gulag for a brutal punishment of re-education and hard labour. i like the franchise, but everyone needs to stop pretending the storytelling is nothing but mediocre young adult fanboy shit

Works for me.
Agreed.

Lame. His original arc was good.

Specifically Warcraft 3 and TFT have some good plots, this is not debatable. The orc storyline is also interesting in its woke racism, it's like a vastly superior Black Panther. Thanks for your input though.

he and Jaina literally doomed Azeroth

lore doesnt have to be lord of the rings tier to be enjoyable. why are you so upset?

she got punished by becoming a janny

QRD?

im sorry you're such a dumb consumer who is so easily amused by the story equivalent of waving keys in your face like a 6 month year old baby.

so you literally dont like anything. ok dude very cool
