The Lich King- Just another Anakin Skywalker-Darth Vader Story?

To me, Arthas had a plot rather similar to Anakin Skywalker’s. All villains start out on good intentions! When Arthas assaulted and slain the people of Stratholme, he did it in good intention, to put them to death before slowly dying. He went against his master; though. Much like how Anakin disobeyed Obi-Wan …. Slowly Arthas became this:                                 From This:

Gollum was also one of them who used to be good before becoming twisted …

Tom Marvolo Riddle to Lord Voldemort is also one …

As you can see, all of these famous villains didn’t start as antagonists; they were just misunderstood protaganists, twisted by the dark side and demented for evil. Now I’ll show one more image of Malistaire Drake …

Malistaire’s true goal was to save his wife from death, not for power, glory, or justice, but to avenge and save his wife. In the process he became blinded by doom and was mangled into the hands of villainy by his own pure intentions.

All of these men were originally normal people, living their lives, but eventually being somewhere changed by lust and greed for more power. Eventually all of them were stopped in their own “special way”! Eventually their tyrannical pathways through evil proved to be their own inevitible end….

And eventually…. through the ashes, a new enemy (or hero) is born…
