What was his motivation for being evil?
He was corrupted by the Fel.
In source material, he is controlled by Sargeras
He was corrupted in his mothers womb by the most evil being in the universe
He had a demon inside him. Movie version: because so
Watching this now. Wondering why they're blending WoW lore with Warcraft lore.
>Some nine thousand years after the War of the Ancients, Aegwynn kept a constant vigil over Azeroth, destroying demons wherever she found them. Sargeras saw that Aegwynn was a serious threat, but he also saw how she could be manipulated. The Dark Titan sent demonic agents on a great dragonhunt. The demons killed several dragons, but Aegwynn inevitably appeared to aid the great beasts. Together, they destroyed the band of demons before they could do irreparable damage.
>As Aegwynn surveyed the scene, she found the rift from which the Legion's agents had come through in the Storm Peaks. Using this portal, Sargeras entered Azeroth in the form of an avatar. It is said that this avatar was infused with a portion of Sargeras' soul which he controlled.[2][10]. The Guardian of Tirisfal did not hesitate in attacking, but Sargeras held back, letting the mage destroy his physical body. However, as it died, Sargeras’ spirit reached inside Aegwynn’s body and hid, lying dormant for many years. Unaware of the tainted presence inside her body, Aegwynn buried Sargeras’s physical body in a tomb and cast it deep into the ocean.
>Years later, the Order of Tirisfal informed Aegwynn that her time as a Guardian was up and asked her to proceed to Dalaran to choose her successor. Aegwynn disobeyed the Order's command, deciding that only one of her own lineage would suffice. She sought out the great mage and advisor to King Landen Wrynn, Nielas Aran. Aegwynn seduced the mage, eventually mothering a son by him. Eventually Sargeras’s spirit awoke and possessed the mind of Aegwynn’s unborn son, Medivh.[2] Medivh, son of Aegwynn, was born.
which is probably why they said "corrupted by fel" in the movie

But that has nothing to do with the original games.

I'm the only one that can't see that actor playing a good guy? He looks fucking evil. Even in the Lone Survivor he was nuts, and wanted to kill the kids
>>70957947
I thought he was terrible choice for Medivh
>>70957947
Can't quite put my finger to it but he does look like person that's bit off.

Nothing. He flirted too much with fel and all the dark arts and got possessed by Sargeras.
