You can honestly tell his self esteem has dwindled and his emotions are just broken. After, what he went through and been through no doubt it’ll leave a scar on him for the near term.
After being hijacked by a cosmic being and after fighting in a war he is almost certainly going to be emotionally damaged. He is almost there but not there just yet.

I’m way to invested in the dragons daddy issues to care about anduin.

In canon, Anduin was stuck in Torghast for two years. Poor guy.

Anduin actually looks that way because of what he went through in the last season of Breaking Bad

Yup, he’s a sissy and a fraction the man his father was.

That is the most sane post you’ve made all week.
He needs to man up and stop crying like a baby in every cinematic.

I think he had Arthas’ memories stuck in his head. So, he all that going on in his head. Anduin is very schizophrenic right now.

I just wanna give props to the cinematics team, because I wasn’t even getting uncanny valley vibes from the characters. Straight up just felt like I was watching really good acting.
IDK I’ve always liked Anduin as a character, and even if the story sucked for a little while, this felt really good to watch. I’m glad that wasn’t his exit from the franchise, I want to see my “Son of the Wolf” Anduin in-game one day, even if that storyline was scrapped.

Maybe writers are setting him up to be the Arthas everyone in the lore wanted Arthas to be. Someone who overcomes their darkness and channels his sadness, rage, and frustration into becoming a hero.

Everything old is new again. I wrote this elsewhere on these forums, but Turalyon is to Anduin, what Anduin Lothar was to Varian decades ago; and the Sword in the Sand is like “this generation’s” Dark Portal.
So the writers wanting another go at other similar narrative beats makes sense to me. Now that they can explore them in an MMORPG and not an RTS.

According to some other poster though, he didn’t go through anything really. smh

LOL. The only thing more traumatizing is not knowing about Goldshire and then finding out firsthand.
