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 :)
