I haven't done a hot take in a while but here goes: When it comes to villains and antagonistic characters in general - you don't always have to spare them or redeem them. Sometimes the fun of having a villain is them being villains and paying for it.

I really hope they leave some of the characters alone in shadowlands and let them just be bad guys who have traumatized the citizens of Azeroth. Like redeeming a character like Arthas just feels bad to me because him giving in and becoming the bad guy makes him interesting.

Arthas is complicated. He did a lot of what he did for his people but lost it to vengeance along the way. Then Ner'zhul essentially had him and have him carry out his dark deeds. He's a mixed bag of making bad decisions and then being forced to do it by getting his soul removed.

I still feel like him being redeemed just kind of feels icky considering the sheer amount of bad that came out of all of it. It's complicated for sure but idk, I prefer we never really run into him at all but we'll see.
