Canon that you don't accept

While I generally try to work with all the canon I can and view at different angles, there was something recently I found odd. That Thrall couldn’t see why people thought Anduin handsome when he grew up around humans and would of seen what they liked in each other. It could of been him as an adult seeing him as someone who was young but it said he just saw him as a small pink thing in big armor. Who knows, maybe Thrall has become more acclimated to orc culture now.

Another thing regarding Thrall, is the depiction of the scars on his back. I’m conflicted on this.
On the one hand, he very much could have scars there. In my favorite book, Lord of the Clans, he tried to prove a point to Grommash that he did not live a happy life among hte humans and tried to show the Warsong his back of the brutality he endured. Only for the Warsong to find it amusing, because there were no injuries. They were all healed.

The only justification I can give this maybe, is that shortly before Thrall fled was when Blackmoore let people who bet on Thrall be with him in his cell alone, and let them do what they wanted to him out of anger since he lost and caused these people their money.
The healers there tend to his wounds with their healing magic which makes it look like nothing happened to him. This is when he decided it was time for him to find a way out.

So he could of been showing the Warsong what he THOUGHT were recently inflicted wounds from the humans taking out all their anger on him, so its very possible that he does have scars from previous things while being in the camp.

Though it’s still very odd…just makes me wonder if that was taken into consideration. don’t get me wrong, I think its a good depiction on his model. But I still think about he had nothing there to show the Warsong.
