It likely works because Arthas actually has a surprisingly logical descent into his madness, brought upon by a chain of terrible events he experienced, and another chain of events that he enacted. One can see how he as a hero was perfectly logical and prideful, so the Lich King exploited both of those traits to cause Arthas to pursue the logical result of culling Stratholme (seriously, he did nothing wrong here), and having Mal'Ganis constantly goad Arthas' pride into seeking vengeance. It's just that while Arthas remained consistently logical and prideful, his morality degraded in the pursuit of these, as putting down Mal'Ganis who he was told was the source of the Scourge was a logical pursuit to end the plague forever while driven by the pride of desiring to avenge so much death of the citizenry. It's a perfectly executed hero-to-villain transformation because it makes so much sense and happens in a manner where it makes even better sense.

Crazy how the four races stories in Warcraft III are so well written. Like Arthas coming to tell Illidan about the skull of Guldan to vainquish the legion. It is just amazing how they thought about those little details. The writting for wow makes little sens in comparaison, except for as a shoehorned justification for having Arthas as a raid boss.

Wow writing is fine. the difference however, is that each warcraft game was a well written story with linear progression that started like a book and had a to be continued ending. While in wow, the story is now separated into 60 different books. Most of them aren't even in the game. Some of them are scattered around random quests. Half of them end too soon with zero explanation. Most of them remain in cliffhanger for years. And to top it all off, it keeps expanding without closing the little things shut. Wow doesn't have a problem with good story. It's just GARBAGE storytelling.

What sucks about Arthas losing the ability to use the light is that, the light doesn't get used by just those who are "good" or "righteous". The light is usable as long as you believe in what you are doing. So he knew that what he was doing was going to be seen as terrible, and that others were disgusted at it, but he still did what had to be done. It was probably his mentor and good friend leaving Arthas that made him lose faith and thus lose the power of the light

I didn't know Arthas lost his power to use the light in Stratholme. That's interesting, that means part of him felt he was doing something wrong, since the light is faith based, as long as you truly believe what you are doing is the right thing, you can still use the light hence the Scarlet Crusade.

Until Arthas turned on the mercenaries I actually agreed with him, still do for the most part. He did what he thought was right no matter how hard it was. Sure killing innocents in Strathholme appears barbaric but their fate was already sealed and a quick permanent death was the greatest mercy they could be given. He did become to focused on the big picture that he overlooked the smaller details but in the end his goal was to protect the planet.

@@johnfranky2896 The video explains it pretty well. Arthas became increasingly brutal in his efforts to save his people. This was the state he was in when he got Frostmourne from the ice, and the voice (Ner'zul) in the blade took advantage of this over-zealous brutality. It essentially convinced Arthas that he had to do even more terrible things to save his people...until Arthas became totally indoctrinated, and ruined his own kingdom. Only then was he truly evil (imo).
