What do you expect from incompetent writers? They did the best they could.

thrall literally appointed him as warchief when he went too go do shaman thingsâŠ
and having a reason doesnât mean itâs justified.
Justified means if it was done âFor greater goodâ, even if it was an evil deed.
but i doubt mountain of skulls and rivers of blood is good⊠unless its a khorne thing but this is wow not warhammer.
But anyways, words and treatment can affect how one reacts in the future
Well, thatâs honestly a little worse than them making him two-dimensionally bad on purpose.
It absolutely does feel like they thrust characters into situations thatâll look âcoolâ without any thought as to how it would impact the character themselves, or the story going forward - just a huge emphasis on these big, epic setpieces which, when it comes down to it, end up completely meaningless.
Iâd rather have some interesting character interactions than big epic moments personally. ⊠'Cause being invested in these characters makes those moments, when they come, a lot more interesting!
I didnât say he didnât get appointed. i said Garrosh wasnât forced into it. He accepted the role.
Thatâs not what that means.

Unless youâve written over 50 novels, or even one for that matter, I donât think you know what youâre talking about.
It takes nothing to write a novel. All it takes is putting words together and you have a book. Anyone can write 50 novels.

Well thatâs what it said in the dictionary.
but regardless he did get all that way by how people treated him and were quick to judge him instead of being any bit of supportive.
unlike sylvanas who just ends up being evil again even though she could of just ended it after legion
Ah so you must also be an artist arenât you? I bet youâre on the level of Picasso, since clearly by your own logic it takes nothing to paint since painting is just putting paint on a canvas.
So Garrosh is excused for all of his actions because other people were mean to him?
Ok.
HAHAHAHAHAâŠâŠ.
Ah hahahahahahahaha
Are you comparing Christie Golden and other Blizzard writers to Picasso?
oh man thanks you made my day.
I have seen more creative and inspired writing on the bathroom stalls.

I always looked at that as a good sense of character for what he was signifying: a power hungry individual
He was aware of the Fel and knew what it did. However he never bothered to really think about his actions, and, much like his ancestors, decided he would be able to remain in control after âImbibingâ of this other power source.
It was, to me, a more subtle nod at âthe more things change (ha! Garrosh!) the more they stay the same.â
On the one hand, it does help to have some knowledge of a subject before critiquing it - visiting a fancy restaraunt and slamming all their food when all youâve ever eaten is McDonalds and thus have no point of reference would be silly.
But on the same card, you donât have to be an expert to be critical of something.
Different people have different interpretations of Blizzardâs story - thereâs always going to be this sort of discussion, especially around its villains.

Iâm not. Iâm saying that writing isnât as easy as you think. Itâs an art just like painting, not everyone can just write a novel.
now you are putting words in my mouth and they arenât even cherry flavoredâŠ
his reasoning for his emotions are one thing and how it effects him.
but doing said actions that harms others is entirely his fault.
you get the feelings of anger from the actions of another is one thing, but acting on it, is another.
Well⊠you see⊠the Siege of Orgrimmar used to boot Garrosh was an actual raid⊠while the Siege of Orgrimmar to boot Sylvanas only played out in a cutscene.

That is where you are incorrect. Everyone -CAN- write a novel and as Christie Golden has proven again and again. Just because you can does not mean you are good at it or should.

Sylvanas is Garrosh 2.0 and picking apart the OP doesnât change that. My favorite comparison is flip they did with both characters. In Stonetalon we got a glimmer of the âhonorableâ Garrosh and in the BfA trailer we got a glimmer of the Sylvanas that cared about the Horde.
The woman we seen in that trailer wasnât someone that said âthe Horde is nothingâ and the Saurfang we seen wasnât someone planning a rebellion against her. I wonder how far ahead of the xpac it was made and what made them change their mind.

Good point that I didnât really think about⊠the Saurfang in the trailer wasnât someone looking for his death⊠it was someone honestly trying to win the battle.

in way, he did.
Yep. Think about the cinematic âThe Old Soldierâ (or whatever it was called) now go back to the BfA trailer. Itâs two completely different Saurfangs even though all that supposedly happened in one day
