to answer that question yes, yes i would have loved that, unfortunately it's VERY unlikely Arthas will have a run back
This is basically my dream match up for both, it's by far their most thematic match up, a legacy match, introduces two new franchises, stylistically perfect for an entertaining fight, versatile in terms of being a 1v1 or an army battle and has great dialogue and story potential and their powers and abilities play very well with each other.
-Both are former paladins turned towards the side of the very evil that they had sworn to purge from the world through said evil force's manipulations (Chaos and Scourge)
-Both initially took on their darker, evil deeds in a method of fighting fire with fire, leading them towards darker sources of power until it was too late
-Both after becoming their true selves eventually betrayed and defeated the initial evil force that manipulated them in the first place (Mal'Ganis/Bel'akor)
-Both before on their path to becoming all powerful went on a world spanning adventure (Arthas chasing Mal'Ganis/ Archaon seeking the six treasures)
-Both are taking up the title from another, in a line of dark lords (Ner'zhul and Bolvar/the other Everchosen)
-Both are master combatants and powerful magic users, specifically mostly using a corrupt and evil form of magic (Necromancy/Chaos Sorcery)
-Both have a evil sentient magic swords that devour souls and corrupt their wielders.
-Both initially gained their powers from a higher source (Ner'zhul/Chaos Gods)
-Both are associated with rival elements (ice and fire)
-Both wear a "Helm/Crown of Domination" that is the symbol and source of most of their powers
-Both are first and foremost tacticians, masterminds dozens of crazy strategies to destroy their enemies, usually even starting subtly with disease and sabotage.
-Both utilize powerful plagues
-Both are aided by cults that worship them and seek to undermine their enemies from within
-Both can summon aid (Undead and Daemons)
-Both can manipulate the minds of others and scry across the planet
-Both have a steed or monster companion to aid in their conquests (Invincible and Sindragossa vs Dorghar who plays both roles)
-Both wear nearly indestructible suits of armour forged by demons/daemons
-Both desire nothing but to destroy the world and are the enemies of order, while believing they are in the right (Arthas because he believed the only way to protect Azeroth was under one banner under the Scourge, while Archaon wishes to starve and destroy all gods so that humanity can finally rule itself freely)
-Both lead virtually inexhaustible legions that have the potential to flood over all other factions if uncontrolled.
-Both armies are composed of not only a vast variety of infantry, but a veritable menagerie of grotesque monsters, flying beasts, giants and siege weaponry.
-Both of their headquarters are the northern most continent of their respective worlds.
-Both have magical gems set into the forehead of their helmet
-Both factions leave behind a form of corruption that despoils the lands they travel while further aiding their forces.
-They are such great threats to their world, that when they set out on the warpath, the rest of the world sets aside their differences and joins forces to attempt to stop them.
-They spend a great deal of their time fighting against a similar threat like this fight (Arthas opposing the Burning legion and Archaon opposing the undead legions of Nagash)
-Both are the viscous enemies of a holy divine force (the Light/Sigmar)
-Both had their swords destroyed by said holy divine force
-A classic battle scenario of the original vs the one it inspired
-This would also all tie into the old Warcraft vs Warhammer debates of old too.
The cruelest irony though is that years ago I wrote a little fight thing between them and it is VERY similar to how the Sauron vs Lich King fight went LMFAO
The swirling snowy winds of Northrend howled into the dark sky, a brewing storm was rising as clouds as black as night boomed with malicious thunder that forebode strange omens to the keen eye. Frost coated the intricate plate mail of the imposing figure who sat in ...
