I was commenting on the critique that he runs away from his problems. A modern allegory is substance abuse. This is not news.
Or playing video games even.
It’s really not that deep bro. It’s WoW writing. You said yourself you don’t expect complexity and now you are really trying to attribute quite a bit of it.
If it isn’t that deep, how do you find it so difficult to be able to relate to his escapism?
I can relate to it with something as simple as “I played games for 30 minutes before I took the trash out.”
Like…you are desperately trying to connect these things to your preferred causes of choice.
No, you are just very very mad that a man was crying in your video game. Frankly, it’s very weird.
No I’m just tired of the guy crying all of the time and being forced to play assistant to his cycle of therapists.
A thing can get old even if it begins meaningfully.
I’d argue his story got old and didn’t begin meaningfully.
Lemme take control of you for a while and end a few people I dont like, then when you escape (if you can) have fun with that ptsd.
Also the mans been a king, on and off for most of his life, theres nothing normal about anduin.
in your real life are the men more like anduin or more like garrosh?
if more like garrosh, it all becomes clear
I mean if you grant me the ability to resurrect armies at will, control the Light to my demand, bring people back from the brink of death, and have one of the greatest fighting forces on the planet waiting for me to return to lead them…
Probably would get over it.
Idk bro but a character that always knows the right choice or the best path forward is kind of boring.
I get why ppl dont like anduin, but imo the mistakes hes made etc are what kind of make him an interesting character.

i find it so odd that a lot of the (apparent) men in this thread seem to idealize the type of masculinity that ends with you in prison vs the type that most of them are, even if they don’t want to be that way. anduin men are “normal” men. society protects against men like garrosh because they’re dangerous and a threat to society.

You are literally responding to someone that is connecting Anduin to the opoid epidemic and elevating that struggle to a level that should be admired though.
The doublethink is going to new levels 'round here.
No its people like varian that protect the masses from people like garrosh.
I like anduin but he really needs to grow a spine and conquer his past.
Anduin isn’t protecting anyone, hence why hes a priest/pally. He heals them.

The fact you cannot see a correlation between escapism and drugs is really telling.
of all the posters in the thread, that guy makes the most sense to me. i’ve agreed with pretty much everything he’s said. if you could look at what he’s actually saying vs trying to “gotcha” him you’d understand what’s really there.
Literally every one of their posts is an attempt at a gotcha. All 75 of them in this thread basically.
All of it is “this is my take and if you don’t agree then you are a bad person” and I’m not surprised to see people in GD agreeing with that kind of take.
the difficulty is not grasping your point. it’s one of yours, so it’s not very complex. part of the problem is, as i said (and as it appears others have pointed out to you), you don’t speak coherently or cogently, which does make tracking your inane nonsense more challenging. but honestly i’ve ceased being amused by opening these posts, so feel free to rant at whatever length you want but i will simply not be reading/replying in the future; i’ve wasted enough time on you.
