There is a void in my heart. Have you come to fill it?
I mean he did kind of go completely crazy, but who knows, blizz does what blizz does
Wait so Kael could return from a setback of a setback rambling about how you would be so naive to believe he entrusted the future to some squid looking demon?
I hope not. Illidan's little "redemption" arc was already super forced and made no sense. It'll take even more half-baked retcon to make Kael'thas a hero again.
I think it's too late for him to redeemed. It's a shame how his character was treated, though. I would've loved for him to be redeemed. I feel like making Illidan and Kael'thas antagonists in TBC was a mistake. Imagine if they took Kael'thas' character down a different path - he would've made for a great blood elf leader. In fact, I always thought his personality fit well in the Horde. Oh well, maybe if they ever theme an expansion in the Shadowlands (as someone stated before in this thread) he can play a role and have a chance at redemption.
I hope so , Kael'thas is my favourite char and Blizz writing fucked him over, he was good by heart and only wanted the best for his people, he never had selfish goals. HE IS GOOD
Technically he's a fel infused Blood Elf, somewhat closer to the Nathrezims. Hello twisting nether! All he needs is the blood of San'layn in his headless neck or wrist and just a na body to repossess.

The first two is implied that they have demonic souls, the last one was an undead.
They could bring KT back as an undead too, or even say after the thing they did to him to bring him back after TK made him get a demon soul too, but I think is best for the story he remains dead, and move another elf forward to finally assume the leading role of the BElves
Of course it's possible to redeem him. Everyone is bringing up "but we cut his head off!" as if that can't either be silently retconned or just skirted over completely with some "the sunwell rebirthed him" magic bullshit something-or-other.
Should they redeem him? God no. It's bad enough he and Illidan were so mishandled with TBC lore, but leave the dead where they rest. The only thing worse than ruining a character with bad writing is trying to 'redeem' them with more bad writing. The painful white washing of Illidan and the way he turned into this smug, always-right-about-everything Mary Sue was intolerable.
