RANT:
In my opinion Illidan should have played a vital part in defeating the Lich King back in Wotlk. This was HIS story in WC3, this was what he tried but ultimately failed to accomplish.
Blizzard did not do him justice with their p!ss poor writing. Not even back in TBC. They tried to remedy that in the "legion" wow expansion with some poor overall execution. Though we had some great cenematics like illidans sacrifice, i felt like it was too little too late...
if i could rewrite warcarft history, then back in TBC, We, as the players, should have rescued and recruted Illidan to help us fight back the lich king in Wotlk. Instead of this 'Tyrion Fording' character -paladin of the silver hand. Yes, he is mentioned in the Warcraft lore. But not even once was he mentioned in the Warcraft 3 RTS games. A weird fit for a hero, not even a major character in WC3. I just remember asking myself, "who tf is this guy..?" "never heared of him".
Instead Illidan should have been the one, who would help the players fight Arthas. And being the anti-hero that illidan is. He would do something "unforgivable" in the process. Something that would have had him escape us, and left us with a bittersweet ending, where he would accomplish his goal of,, not defeating Arthas,.. but stopping him and maybe imprisioning him. But at a great overall cost.
This would then also "save" Arthas as a major warcraft character from becomming yet another "finished job" by the players. And ultimately Arthas could be used later on, as a villain or in a good redemption story line.
I might make a "rewriting warcraft lore" video series later on, where i adress what i would have done differently, lore wise, in world of warcraft.
Anyway, enough rambling. I hope you enjoyed this video. If so, please like and comment! And Subcribe to my channel. Thx :)
Considered that Illidan made more sacrifices then Malfurion, Tyrande and Cenarius combined.
and if it not been for the presumptions and projections of those claiming to put the world before their feelings , he would have spared it a lot of suffering having sought power not for himself but to strike at ice crown itself , the heart of the growing undead tide
also , hash tag sod all the silly ''realm of judgement'' and that crap in wow expansions turning the litch king into a pushover and hamfisting the wow universe into a lack luster ''abrahamic heaven and hell'' dynamic of where souls & spirits went when the flesh suits or such they resided in expired! ^^

From the moment I saw Illidan in warcraft 3 that was it... instantly he became my favorite character in all games, books , movies and so on...
This is great tribute to him... Respect !!!
My man became a demon to save his race and banished bruh my man did nothing wrong
Let's all appreciate the world of Warcraft people It's been a long time and we still come back to it.... Love it 😢
And to this day he is still my favorite. ‘You are NOT prepared!’
Illidan has sacrificed more for Azeroth then anyone realized his life his love and his family he has fought for the land that forsake him long ago
The dude sacrifice more than anybody that new him since the beginning
In my opinion, Ilidan story is one of the best in fantasy literature, blizzard should have gave him more credit, he deserves a come back. He can easily replace the aspects.
Illidan is the most based character in wow, he walks the line between chaos and order.
No she walking own way
I yearn for Illidan's return, and I hope it isn't a short one.
Same, and with the new direction of the storytelling, I hope they give us a good interaction between Illidan, Malfurion, and Tyrande.
The man doomed for only sin of having a clear mind and compassion for the world. I feel you.
He's a demon hunter. It's a prep for legends
This is an insanely good done Edit.
As someone who didn't play Warcraft 3 but really enjoyed World of Warcraft Legion, I can say that this is a really good "catchup" from quotes and Scenes from the games that happened.
Illidan is still my favorite Character till this day, his story is just golden!
He's right, Illidan did nothing wrong.
Illidan and Arthas probably have the most tragic stories in the whole WoW universe
I feel no compassion for Arthas, he was a weird guy since day one.
@@Farfarawai he did nothing wrong
@@kristiyangrigorov5232 play warcraft 3 and culling of stratholme and you will see everything that he did wrong
@@kristiyangrigorov5232 infact he did
he let his hatred control him which resulted his death and the death of others
@@georgegorvaniagerge7077 hard not to come to hatred when his beloved and mentor abandoned him at stratholme, leaving him alone to make the hardest decision of all time. Arthas was 100% right to do what he did. The scourge has no cure, every single citizen in that city was undead or becoming undead and it wouldve added fuel to malganis army of the undead. If Uther supported his decision, then perhaps he'd have never turned into the monster he became.
The strongest character in all of WOW. Illidan stormrage.
tyrande did not deserve the love he has for her.
man im always coming to watch this video every day why🥲
Haha me too, i watch it and the arthas one once in a while, even tho i made them myself :D
@@shjelde660 thank u for creating this videos they are amazing can u make more about illidan 😊😉
Easily one of the best characters in WoW, plus one that has sacrificed so much without bothering about what others say, his ultimate goal is to defend his world. A true hero aside of Varian too.
I hope he will return stronger then ever...
anyone else got piss off when illidan sent last letters to his brother Malfurion, Tyrande? my jaw drop when they were mean after the letter i even said " WHAT?!?!!?"
Wow, very awesome edit dude. putting together all these scenes together and the music fit well also, Illidan is by far the best character I’ve resonated with within any story/game not just WoW. you did him justice.
I spent ages typing out a long nostalgic rambling post for youtube to not post it and lag out, that was frustrating but I’ll repost this.
I have the same burning thought to want to share how I would have rewritten the story for a more satisfying closure of a character or its archetype for example Garrosh, Thrall, Malfruion and Sylvanas to name a few. It's a Niche on RUclips I dont see anyone filling you could have hours of content weaving your own narrative if there's an audience for it or maybe it’s just something you need to get out of your head
Best of luck
Thank you so much for this comment. 🙏I put so many hours in this video and also the Arthas video. And it's rare to here from people who feel the same way about these characters, and their deep and interesting story's.😅
Why doses this piece of art only have 133 likes! Illidan is my farvorite character, and arthas the second farvorite. This video is underated
First Warcraft Trilogy: Arthas Rise, Arthas Fall, Arthas Death.
Second Trilogy: Illidans fall, Illidans Death, Illidans Rise.
An excellent tribute for an excellent character!
Illidan sacrifices himself time after time and saves everything Malfurion would die for to protect and still Malfurion cries like a B*TCH because it was Illidan who saved the day.
Iliidan and arthas are pillars of wow with so much players who love them , if blizzard wish to success they need to bold both of these two
Although he saved everyone by making a huge sacrifice, he abandoned his own people and his brother and was accused and banished. He was imprisoned for 10,000 years, but he never betrayed and never loved forever.😢😢😢
ill always be a demonhunter and serve lord illidan
Words cannot describe just how much I hate Tyrande and Malfurion
this is fantastic
Good sir. I liked your work. And would love to see your perspective on how things could have been better for the WoW world of they didn't kill off every major villian of the expansion
haughty druids claiming to have the world as a whole in mind judges him for the tools he use not his goals
his kin despises him for the price he payed , for what his scars shaped him into , ignoring the reasons for them
his blood and close ones loath,s what his actions as if they where wrought for the same short sighted emotional faunt like their's
yet he was the only one born mortal that dared face the legions creator , that forced the threads of fates , the hands of destiny to hasten the titans end
Amazing video
Without illidans sacrifice there would have been another well of eternity.
Illidan got shafted so much, (fav character by far) I wished Blizz atleast gave us the ability with our characters to avenge him and kill Tyrande and Malf. (my DH esp, I wanted to avenge his sacrifices and those to betrayed him) to make up for their terrible writting =D loved the vid.
I feel ya. My dh slaps that *itch every single time he sees her.
...tnx for Video 💔
Ehre wem Ehre gebührt 🙏
I AM MY SCARS!!!!!!!
Illidan, Arthas and the dragon flights were all I really cared about in WoW. Once they depowered the aspects, I was done with Blizzard.
sad that blizzard forgot that after legion
Well done 👏🏽
My best character in game , it is so unfair illy helped with loads of trouble in azeroth yet he was the prison his brother treated him like a serial killer and tyrande never returned his love ;/ even on the last message from illidan the comments from malfurion and tyrande is just comedy like really .. hes never coming back again yet neither tyrande or malfurion said anything good or caring
such a great video
Man this video was great.... malfurion so judgemental, cannot see something from a different perspective....
Amazing
Illidan Meditating for 1000 years and raise Ñaga from the depths 🤔
Someone clearly chose the wrong brother 😢
Free my boi Ilidan
What's the difference between Illidan and Malfurion?
Malfurion sleeps and misses everything that's important and suffers for it, and illidan is hated by everyone sacrificing everything for the good of everyone else and yet, he is never rewarded, he is never appreciated, he is imprisoned, and even those that try to understand him, can't even begin to understand him.
This brings me to the question, "Is it better to be of inaction, or action if these are the results?"
People will die regardless of what action or inaction you take; you can only carry those dead bodies on your back as you continue moving or you will be consumed by their grasp.
@@FaultyParadox agreed. So I've come to the realization that you must do the 'right' thing, to the best of your ability. Even if it doesn't come with appreciation.
not watching the video but leaving a like for the thumbnail.
Watch the video !
This is all Malfurions fault.
I blame Cenarius.
@@xxDrain as do I.
Get over yourselves
Illidan sided with the very demons he was supposed to battle
Guys please READ the books and play the games Illidan was a villain, HIS name was "The Betrayer"! WoW:Legion was a redemption story for Illidan... REDEMPTION! The word has a very specific meaning. One does not to redeem themselves for doing good things! And yeah Illidan apposed the Legion but only AFTER he fail his task giving to him by Kil'Jaeden. His lust for power and to be exceptional drove him to the Legion in the first place
"The Betrayer" labeled by a one sided narrative from those that didn't want to listen to him.
@@ssjwes572 Listen to him?! What are you TALKING about... he did Betrayer them it's not one sided it follows Illidan too and we see his lust for power manifest, he only decided to fight against Sargeras' forces when he realised he failed and failures don't last long in the Legion! He recruited other Demons in similar situations and then decide to enslave a bunch of locals in outlands and allowed the Naga to destroy on of last habitable zones of Outland! Also Metzen CLEARLY stated that Legion was a REDEMPTION story for Illidan, so yes he was bad and then he redeemed himself in the end, but he was a Villain first, thats what redemption means
when warcraft writing was good
He will come back, no need for tribute ( maybe in the 3rd expansion of the world soul saga "" the last titan"")
Omg The druid was bitching a lot. You cast him out, then when you need him you release him and repeat the same cycle. And Illidan, stop simping.
Eh, a lot of Illidan's later story was a retcon. In Warcraft 3 Illidan is consistently shown to be self-serving, someone who justifies his selfish decisions as being for the greater good. He didn't flee Azeroth for Outland to bide his time so he could strike back against the Legion, he fled because he feared Kil'Jaeden's wrath.
Don't get me wrong, I like the guy. He's a great character. But he's not the sacrificing hero he's often made out to be. He was often very selfish, made really bad decisions, and wasn't willing to explain his plans to anyone.
Very true
Ilidan is my soul choices
Love it
i dont get it. elves live long af lives and after all the centuries your telling me this dude never figured out that the bish isnt worth squat???? this dude is too good to be lil bro and too good to deserve this chick. Guy can go out and learn to love himself more and get some one who really cares about em
Illidan is like anakin from star wars an broken person transformed into. An monster
💜💙❤️
How do u forget that malfurion? Do u heave early onset alzheimers
U are the hell of a guy dude
Illidan did nothing wrong.
Song?
Remembrance Balmorhea All is wild All is silent
Enjoy
Mf forgot about his known brother
I’m not gonna lie after seeing this I now hate the first ever world of Warcraft kissing scene 😂
Imagine having to retcon half his story just so it might try to make him finally look good
He was just a selfish power hungry mage who never thought or saw the consequences of his actions until too late, driven by jealousy and thirsting for a girl over 10.000 years.
How the hell people even think this slow talking, overly dramatic edgelord is anything but a synonym of failure is beyond me. Of course, maybe half the people posting are too young to realize the massive retcons and changes needed to make him seem redeemable. OR basement dwellers will always relate with a dark edgy almost anime-like "antihero" who doesn't get the girl, because they are "literally him".
Malfurion is better in almost every department, and the guy was just sleeping for thousands of years. Common.
Some of what ur saying is true, but its very unnuanced. Sure he is selfish and power hungry. But he also wants to end Azeroth's enemies. Though, its through any means necessary, which often backfires for him. But he is very capable!
@@shjelde660Illidan's original character and motives made sense. He was flawed and acted as a flawed person would, but also was not overwhelmingly tuned for max drama.
In warcraft 3, Illidan was portrayed as a power hungry warrior who craved magic and aimed to claim it, happily exclaiming that said goal was virtuous in nature (The death of Tichondruis, Attempt on the Lich King), but knowing that deep down he always wanted mainly to become powerful in magic.
This part of his character can be appreciated. It is relatable almost, and has interests as it is indeed a sort of grey to evil character, with some traits that can be considered good.
In Burning Crusade they just used him as a raid fodder, and barely mattered except being "the Lord of Outland". I liked the idea of him possibly going insane (like Malfurion quotes in Vanilla), but he aswell as his allies we're just wasted.
Im happy they brought him back since he had much unused potential. But dear God, Illidan in Legion and any media that came with it is just painfully stupid to watch. Every sentence he says is just bloated with dramatic pauses, far too much of an edgy tone, and just overwhelmingly "badass" to the point it looks like he's trying to act big all the time. It takes him like 5x times longer to say one thing than any other guy in a cinematic (except Khadgar maybe, he's into long pauses too).
And the fact that instead of using his flawed character, who was selfish but in his own twisted way wanted to claim power so he could feel the respect and adoration he felt he was due, the expansion had to retcon just about everything with him. Suddenly he's a goddamned crusader who is 27 steps ahead of everyone, everything he does is FOR THE GREATER good and we are all morons, and the fucking line about "WHAT HAVE YOU SACRIFICED" is pure cringe.
Illidan NEVER sacrificed anything. He was jailed because he commited a great crime out of pure selfishness (making a new Well of Eternity so he doesn't lose his magic), he immediately devoured the skull of Guldan to become powerful (not a "Sacrifice", Illidan always craved power), sought to kill the LK so Kil'Jaeden would grant him immense power, and subjugated Outland so he escapes the Demonlord's wrath after he lost against Arthas. Oh and Tyrande was never his, so he never sacrificed for love either. Maybe his eyes count? But again, he wanted to be granted great power and Magic (which he received), so again hardly a sacrifice.
They had to retcon just about anything to make this character seem like an ultimate good guy all along. I don't think they wrote him well at all in Legion, even though they had a LOT of potential with him. So I don't think he deserves this adoration.
I guess the warglaves look cool tho, he does get props for that. And his demon form looks cool too. He was kinda dope in WC3
"Common."
You're too dumb to understand him it sounds like
would be good without the laud annoying musik that drowns out everything
