Why did Jaina and Uther want this for their people?
>>732329820One was extremely arrogant and self-righteous and the other was a woman and had a woman moment.
>>732329820I look like this
they didnt, retard
>>732329820They didnt
>>732329913>>732329925>hand Stratholme over to the Scourge>don't expect abominations???
>"Uther we need to genocide this entire city">"What???? You cant be serious. There has to be a better way!">"Fuck you Uther im the prince, stand aside">"You are crazy">"Uther gtfo you are fired">"You just tossed a terrible salad Arthas">"Jaina u wanna help out? :)">"I-Im good"
>>732329952what causes this level of retardation
>>732330007https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7yon9p3WVo
Really Jaina had no obligation to purge Stratholme other than the overall moral opposition to the Scourge wrecking the whole world after destroying Lordaeron. She's not from Lordaeron after all, she's a Kul Tiran noble studying in Dalaran. Lordaeron being destroyed isn't really her problem directly.
>>732329868>was a woman and had a woman momentSuch common tragedy
>>732330124Not even noble but outright crown princess of the Lord Admirality. She is next in line to be head of state of a allied nation. Imagine having to explain why she participated in the mass-slaughter of a foreign metropolis, without thekr king giving green light. It would be a diplomatic nightmare

>>732329952they didnt want to hand over anything to anyone, they just didn't want to follow Arthas' plan of killing every living human being in the city just to stop them from becoming zombiesniether side was fully justified in that scenario since arthas acted like an arrogant retard pulling rank while jaina knew exactly how being infected with the plague was basically a death sentence, and uther was somehow oblivious to this for the sake of the plot i guessif arthas didnt try to bully uther into making him agree there was a chance he and jaina would have been onboard with his plan, but by that point arthas was a changed man whose arrogance and vengeful attitude dominated him, we even see this in action in northrend where he starts losing it just to beat up mal'ganis
why didnt arthas and urther and jaina use light magic and fix it
>>732329820why is the Warcraft III abom superior to wow's not that the wow one is bad
>>732330490Can't cure the plague.>b-but the WotLK pre-launch eventGameplay convenience. Narratively you can't cure the plague, as seen in that quest line in Icecrown where the best you can do is have the Naaru personally intervene to stop the person's soul from going to super hell when they inevitably succumb to the plague.
>>732330362Try this.

Which elf girl is best?
>>732330585>Narratively you can't cure the plague, as seen in that quest line in IcecrownThen narratively a small group of weakling adventurers can slaughter their way through the entire undead army and the whole thing is a nothing burger.

>>732329820i don't understand how uther didn't lose his palahood for abandoning his people
>just quarantine until we can find a cure!Never mind that there is no cure to this day, Stratholme was the 2nd most populated city in Lordearon, after the capital. There was also a Dreadlord actively running around the city and teleporting the people out of there.A quarantine would have been impossible.
>>732330907>only popular female pandaren character>only one that isnt a fat fuckso sad...
>>732333293>do nothing: infected citizens die, turn undead.>do something: infected citizens die.It's way worse than that. An entire city becoming an undead army would be absolutely catastrophic. There was absolutely no way of saving anyone anymore, they were at the "damage control" stage. Purging the city while the people were still human was much more feasible and it also protected the rest of the realm, despite being something horrifying to do.Arthas was absolutely right and the strongest person there. Notice how Uther and Jaina, despite complaining that it was wrong, and that there "has to be some other way", offered ZERO alternatives. They also refused to actually stop Arthas from going ahead and purging the city. If they believed it was wrong so strongly, why didn't they fight him? Because they're cowards who knew he was right, they just didn't have the fortitude to do it themselves, so they let him carry that weight alone.
>>732335864>If they believed it was wrong so strongly, why didn't they fight him?Because that's also wrong you fucking idiotWhat retard country do you come from where this passes for logic
>>732335620>Never mind that there is no cure to this dayThey didnt know that>There was also a Dreadlord actively running around the city and teleporting the people out of there.They also didnt know thatyou are applying hindsight information instead of considering only the available informations at the moment. Arthas chose to purge before setting a single foot in the city.
>>732335990LMFAO you are an absolute fucking retard if you think stopping one man is the same as committing what they considered a city-level genocide. Two thing can be vastly different degrees of wrong and if you can't understand that very simple fact you are way, WAY below average IQ.
>>732336012>They didnt know thatyes they did. The undead are dead and there is no coming back from death (before all the dumb shit wow started doing)
>>732336098It doesn't matter what the degree is if they are both wrong, you type like JD Vance. Are you retarded?
>>732335864>An entire city becoming an undead army would be absolutely catastrophic. There was absolutely no way of saving anyone anymore, they were at the "damage control" stage. Purging the city while the people were still human was much more feasible and it also protected the rest of the realm, despite being something horrifying to do.Anon purging the city did nothing, it just created a bunch of corpses for the undead to turn into abominations.
>>732336232what's your education level and what do you do for a living, anon? i want to insult you but it feels like bullying a special needs person at this point.

Anyone who thinks that Uther and Jaina aren't villains is clinically retarded.
>>732336295you only know that with the benefit of hindsight and it did stop them from overruning everything. abominations are just the undead picking up what scraps are left, they don't actively want to do it.
>>732336451>unspecific education, unspecific job, but high salarylmao i love forcing retards to lie about their qualifications. it makes me feel real good knowing that's what you think is good but also what you are not. enjoy flipping my burgers retard

Night elf sex
>>732335864>"has to be some other way", offered ZERO alternatives.Well yeah, and instead of even beginning to think about it, arthas started throwing a tantrum that it's his way or the highway
>>732335864>arthas purges stratholme>jaina just takes some people and fucks off to kalimdor>uther does absolutely fucking nothing on screen while arthas goes to northrend>lordaeron was actually completely fine with the scourge largely quashed until arthas came back and finished the jobarthas was right and people defending uther and jaina are fucking retards
>>732337151arthas was fucking retarded because instead of explaining his logic he started throwing a tantrum, became hotheaded and began throwing orders around blindly without knowing his place. Then he became even more irrational and accused Uther of treason. He's 100% retarded
>>732330462I would argue he was a desperate and strung out man after nearly dying to endless tides of scourge while uther comes strolling by and they fuck off.That situation was engineered.You referencing a future event after stratheholm's culling strips away his friends and his faith to support your argument is kind of retarded.Why the fuck WOULDN'T he be hellbent on vengence after the bullshit of stratholme and mal'ganis prancing around in front of him to taunt him with "come and get me in northrend teehee" ?
>>732337048its almost like there WAS no other way and you just don't want to put the burden on utherUther who is supposed to be a FAR more experienced leader was paralyzed with indecision.>>732336295You don't know what you are talking about.they burned the bodies they killed

you already made this thread
>>732341675
>>732341427My argument is that arthas is right about his assumption but made the situation worse (and becoming lich king as a result)by getting into a pointless petty pride/ego based fight
>>732332256>Valeera is reserved for the Wrynns>Thalyssra is reserved for Lor'themar>Alleria is used goods, retarded and insane>Maiev is too busy thinking about Illidan>>>Sylvanas>>>>>>>>>>>>>TyrandeIt's Azshara. Elisande or that one violent NElf girl you quest with in Mount Hyjal are also acceptable answers.
>>732347149Your argument is "nooooo don't talk about Uther's faults focus on arthas"You are running away from Uther like HE ran away from responsibility.Uther was the one who should have suggested an alternative.Uther was the one who should have been aware of how dangerous the scourge were and the military issues with them converting an entire major town of civilians into undead soldiers.Arthas NEEDED Uther in that moment to be ANYTHING but a coward that lashed out and ran away.
Why does nobody blame the Kirin Tor for the fall of humanity in Lordaeron?The Cult was their counterpart, and sprang forth from Kel'thuzad after he was transported to Lordaeron in his short story and met the LK directly. Kel'thuzad was a rogue Dalaran mage so they should have kept high-priority tabs on him from the beginning.Humanity was really fucked the moment the Cult of the Damned got so embedded in the populace that they were able to poison grain shipments. By the time you meet Arthas it's more or less already too late. People blame Arthas/Uther/Jaina for this stuff and while they share some blame in how it went down it's ridiculous to pin the majority of the blame on them.Terenas' agents also failed spectacularly. Terenas being the head of state should have been privy to Tirisfal secrets like Aegwynn and the Tyr's Order and should not have been so blind to magic shenanigans like The Plague.
>>732347517Omg,is that troll ok ?
The fact that the lore needed to be implemented into books by a garbage writer (a jewish woman nonetheless) is astonishing. To top it: the intern making these threads can only ignite discussion with using an old game, made in pre wokie times, which you were playing, while he was squishin' bugs to sell as red 40 dye and wave it to carpets.The only thing remembered was by white guys, still theorycrafted to today, while everything past wotlk is just a genderless blur with gay dragons and wheelchairs, only serving as a cautionary tale. Grim.
I sometimes just think about how much WoW's writers seethe over their inability to create a villain that's even 1/10th as iconic and memorable as Arthas is
>>732338426>directly responsible for delivering his homeland to the Scourge Yep he was correct yeah definitely oh for sure
.
>>732347814Lordaeron was already far too gone by the time he went back. Why do you think they welcomed his return the way they did? They though he was coming back as a savior not as the enemy.It's also safe to assume TLK had an alternative plan in case getting Arthas didn't work out anyways so it's not like Lordaeron fell just because of him.At the end of the day he was right about virtually everything in hindsight, yes. Stratholme was completely fucked and not purging the city would have only made things x10 worse.Even after dabbling with cosmic powers and literal death, there's still no cure for undeath.He was also complete right about all the warnings related to the scourge and the threat they posed.
Why didn't they just cast Dispel or Cleanse on the townspeople?
>>732351570How would BogTyrande look?

>>732335990>Because that's also wrong you fucking idiotEither they thought he had gone criminally insane in which case its the paladin's duty to arrest the crown prince and exorcise his madness or they knew he was rightin either circumstance uther is a coward who abandoned the whole situation, either he had a responsibility to protect the people from arthas or a responsibility to purge the undead to protect the realm and he did neither
WCIII was such cringe shit
Reminder that to this day in canonical lore, over 20 years later, there is no cure to Undeath. Uther's "surely there's another way, lets quarantine for now and think about it!" still has no merit even retroactively with 20 years worth of hindsight.
>Glad you could bake it, Uther
Arthas murdered people before they turned. That is where he fucked up.
>>732330124Nigger she saw Lordaeron as home. In the halls of reflection she refers to Frostmourne as "the blade that destroyed our kingdom" referencing the fall of Lordaeron.
>>732357982Waiting for an entire city's worth of zombies (the second largest human city in the kingdom, if not the entire world given the state of the other human kingdoms after the wars) to turn would create an unmanageable situation. It would be pants on head retarded to try to wrangle that when you could avoid it by culling civilians who are functionally already dead due to incurable and undetectable disease just so you can give yourself a pat on the back for allowing things to get worse.
>>732357982>>732358341Arthas literally saved their souls. The people that Arthas killed went to the afterlife normally. The people that turned to Undead and then died were sent to the Jailer's Super Hell.
>>732358391That's later lore but yes, Arthas killing the civilians before they turn does save them from super damnation.
>>732358341>didn't eat bread that morning>still get your head caved in by Arthas because he can't be bothered to only take out those about to change>>732358391I mean, if we're going off of later lore, WoW also went as far as to say Stratholme was absolutely brimming with holy water and was famous for producing it, and that said holy water was so powerful that it can be used to reverse the plague.
>>732336169>there is no coming back from deaththere has always been a comeback from death, even before wc3 albeit really rare, there is no comeback from undeath even now in wow
>>732359312Uninfected civilians are not going to be allowed to leave Stratholme due to the undetectable nature of the plague. A quarantine would leave them inside to be ripped apart by zombies. Everyone in Stratholme is already dead. It doesn't matter if you didn't eat the bread, you're dead, it's just a matter of euthanasia by government agents or by being torn apart by the walking corpse of your neighbor.
>>732358341> Waiting for an entire city's worth of zombies (the second largest human city in the kingdom, if not the entire world given the state of the other human kingdoms after the wars) to turn would create an unmanageable situation. It would be pants on head retarded to try to wrangle that when you could avoid it by culling civilians who are functionally already dead due to incurable and undetectable disease just so you can give yourself a pat on the back for allowing things to get worse.Maybe, but the fact that he indiscriminately killed everyone means he’s evil. He didn’t attempt to find another solution. He ignored warnings and spurned his friends and allies.
>>732359516>A quarantine would leave them inside to be ripped apart by zombiesWhy would you just quarantine and leave them inside? Arthas goes in, he distributes the holy water to the citizenry while using his men to help control the situation and defend people from those that have already began to turn, bing bang boom you have like, 60-70% of Stratholme saved and continued access to the greatest source of holy water in Lordaeron instead of slaughtering everyone and leaving things to rot.
>>732358391>>732358448Wait why did the undead after being destroyed get sent to a different part of the shadowlands to the ones that died alive?
>>732335841She recently aged her up into a chubbie adult panda, I am not joking.
>>732337026That is categorically untrue, your potential is your responsibility. Inaction is weakness and not trying to overcome weakness is morally wrong.
>>732347743Iridikron is neat, but nothing will compare to Arthas and Illidan. I can't believe their fight in WC3 didn't get a true cinematic yet, and instead was given an awful one in reforged.
Just stupid
>>732329882Achievable natty?
>>732330362have you tried being black?
>>732329868neither has the strength to be a monarch, that's why Arthas was prince.
>>732360049>>732358448>>732358391>why did the undead after being destroyed get sent to a different part of the shadowlands to the ones that died alive?I think this piece of lore is a casualty of rewrites with the Shadowlands, the Maw is just for bad people.The Undead always go to super hell is based on a Sylvanas story where she, now with nu lore, was manipulated by the Jailor to see those visions.
>>732360495Arthas may have made mistakes after going to Northrend, but he was willing to trade his own soul with zero hesitation to a magic devil sword for the explicit purpose of saving his people.That's true self-sacrifice and nobility. Lordaeron was lucky to have a prince like Arthas. Shame it didn't work out but that's the essence of tragedy.
>>732360758His only mistake was underestimating Frostmourne
>>732360758>for the explicit purpose of saving his people.what, he wanted revenge and he was willing to kill his own soldiers to get revenge
>>732329882trooned out?
>>732359952>Arthas goes in, he distributes the holy water to the citizenry while using his men to help control the situation2nd most populated city in the entire kingdom. Arthas didn't have that many soldiers after defending Hearthglen.
Demonic aliens unleash a plague to turn people into zombies with their souls being destroyed in the process and somehow killing them before it can happen is the problem
Entirety of Arthas's downfall could of been prevented if Uther waited a couple of minutes to see everyone turn into undead
>>732360914He didn't kill his own soldiers.
>>732360914When he makes the deal with Frostmourne, he explicitly says>I will give anything or pay any price, if only you will help me save my people.He could have asked the sword to give him the strength to skullfuck Mal'Ganis, but he doesn't. In the most important moment of Arthas's life (and the biggest mistake), his heart is with his people.
>>732361204Yep. Uther is quite literally retarded.
>>732361032He had enough to kill them all, so he had enough to at least save some, you big ol' silly billy. Literal crates of holy water errywhere too.
>>732361551It's far easier to kill zombies/people than trying to keep panicking people from running away from zombies.
>>732361204the entire situation is a massive breakdown in communication. arthas fails to express that the people cannot be saved, even the healthy are infected, and it will lead to a massive outbreak that is sure to bring ruin to the entire region. uther and jaina don't bother to ask, "wait arthas why?"
>>732329820if everyone is undead, they're united as undead.
>>732361862This. Arthas was right because he won in the end.
>>732361676So the argument is that Arthas took the easy, coward's way out instead of actually trying to save anyone. Seems about right.
>>732330085first playing wc3 and then playing wow
>>732361928The other option isn't more difficult or bothersome, it's impossible. We're explaining to you that quarantine and controlling such a population with the soldiers that he had with him wouldn't have been an option.
Why couldn't they have jailed the peasants and then filtered out those who weren't turning undead, while Jaina ran nonstop experiments on curing them? Zombies can't just break iron bars magically.
>>732362304>Why couldn't they have jailed the peasantsAs said twenty times in the thread already, Stratholme was the 2nd most populated city in the entire kingdom, potentially in the entirely of the Azeroth.
>>732362045>The other option isn't more difficult or bothersome, it's impossibleSounds like excuses to me, especially since >the soldiers that he had with him Gee, sure sounds like someone shouldn't have been so quick to dismiss all the extra people who are also capable of wielding the holy light and keep the Undead at bay, all because he wanted to murder townies and refused to even entertain the possibility of another solution.
>>732362503Are you under the impression that Uther had ten thousand Paladins with him?
>>732362045>controlling such a populationarthas didn't even need to control the entire populationthe problem is that he didn't try to save ANYONE
>>732362586Try to save how? When? They have no time and have to act quickly or they'll be overwhelmed if too many people turn Undead, and there's also Dreadlord in the city.
>>732347253>TyrandeTyrande is top tier before WoW's and how terrible her character was developed.
Enough about the responsibilities of some shitty nobles. Why didn't the "2nd most populous city" fucking revolt and save themselves from murder?
>>732361756Meh, they understood why it was happening but they didn't go along with it simply because it's such an insane action to take.>Uther, kill every single living thing in this city before it can dieImagine hearing this after spending the last week or so doing nothing but killing the undead thinking that alone would stop it. They were simply not willing to consider the judgement so quickly because it's so out of left field. Nobody IRL would take that kind of choice either until they're absolutely sure they're clear of consequences, because it's political suicide. Difference is that Arthas was thinking he was the only one who had the will to save the kingdom.

>>732329820Kirin tor were useless fucking faggots and should have been the first to research the plague, root it out and put anti undead wards everywhere. Instead they didn’t do shit. Useless fucking morons, archimonde making an example of them was poetic
>>732365331When the plague first started, they dispatched Jaina to investigate. After her investigation, they implement all the new undead wards and shit that Arthas has to deal with. What more could they have done? It's not like they could have preempted the plague, it came out of nowhere.
>>732329820I want this he looks awesome
>>732337312>knowing his placeWasn't his place above uther's?
>>732362772>Why didn't the "2nd most populous city" fucking revolt and save themselves from murder?“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” Turns out people are consummate cowards.
