Thoughts on Garrosh in SL now that he's perma dead?

Cinematic for Garrosh’s final moment:

I was never a horde enthusiast nor did I like him(I joined during wod so only knew him becoming evil) but even I have to admit he went out like a true BOSS here. RIP Garrosh.

Garrosh did nothing wrong to the end. I love it. Should’ve been rendered or complete CGI though. Anything for my boy Garrosh.

I like how he’s screaming about not being redeemed the entire time, just so nobody gets the wrong idea that this is meant to be heroic.

Thanks writers. It’s very helpful for you to tell us exactly how to feel.

I wouldn’t put spoilers like that in the title.

Males are bad.

Yeah the fact that they just took his WoD model and stuck it in next to the fully detailed SL boss was pretty bad.

But I believe this guy put it best:

Feedback; this moment would have been much more impactful if…

  1. There was more of a leadup to it and Garrosh had a role in the Revendreth questing experience.
  2. He went out killing a character more important than a forgettable one-time raid character. Kel’thuzad is right there!

It’s already all over wowhead, youutube, and forums, too late. Also non-raiders will never see this cutscene anyway.

Seems rather ambiguous if he is actually gone for good.

A smoldering pile of ash is ambiguous?

Pretty sure that was the poor lackey trying to control him since he was just an angry red spirit.

lol if that’s your takeaway then please seek therapy.

The lackey’s the kindling; Garrosh is the flame.

Those embers you see fade into nothing as the camera focuses on the ash? That’s him.

Or his rage and anger allowed him to break free of the Shadowlands?(or at least Torghast)
This is a fantasy game. Nobody is dead dead until they make an official statement.

And lfr peeps, well, we wait. I can see the vids before hand. I just want whatever carrot in the stick lfr gets me. And so I can say I did do the raid in some way. LFR hero and proud of it.

My raid pride moments come elsewhere. One day mythic gul’dan will die by my hand and my hand alone. That…will be a very good night.

Youtube and I are old friends for the rest of this really.

He had better not be dead! I won’t be satisfied like everyone else seems to be. Garrosh is an amazing character who I STILL want to see the growth of. Is this supposed to be some apology for how bad he was written and now they can literally brush him under a rug?

Growth doesn’t need a redemption or to becoming a good person, I agree with that. But I want an orc in the story he doesn’t have a sick obsession for suicidal battles and is just unkillable for how ruthless they are. Garrosh was excellent for that.

To be fair, this has always been the Achilles’ Heel for orcs, and it was probably intentional. The only reason Thrall was able to make it as far as he has is because he rejected that ragehead “die in glorious battle” mentality that has claimed just about every other major orc warrior in lore.

Garrosh was one of the few things the storywriters did well this expansion.
