Garrosh was trying to empower the Horde by defeating their enemies before the Horde got destroyed. Sylvanas, on the other hand, has consistently tried to destroy us ALL such as at Wrathgate and BFA both using toxic gas, and now in Shadowlands.
Sylvanas is clearly evil and wants to destroy all life, so why does she get the special treatment for her crimes, while Garrosh was put down like a rabid dog?
To be fair if Garrosh proved one thing with his ending, it was that he doesnât need anyoneâs sympathy from anyone nor would he care what we or anyone thinks of him. I am sad he got the villain bat but he was what he was.
Think about it this way: Most people like Garroshâs end. Even me, a person who didnât really like what they did with Garrosh to begin with, liked his ending better than Sylvanasâs. Most people, outside of Sylvanas stans, do not like this lore development. They tried so hard to âsaveâ Sylvanasâs character that they murdered it.
Garrosh didnât have his soul split by Frostmourne. He was completely and fully in control of his actions.
Sylvanas on the other hand has only been half in control of her actions (if that). Her selfless âgoodâ side only having been recently reunited with her selfish âevilâ side.
Garrosh had it within himself to change. Sylvanas did not. That is why Sylvanas gets sympathy and Garrosh doesnât.
Guess Iâll be the one to say that the way Garrosh was handled in SLs was excellent and true to his character until the end. I loved what they did with him and dude went out like a baller.
Because Garrosh was a stupid orc who did everything he did of his own volition for power and greed.
As much as I find the story rather 2 dimensional even for WoW, she is not âclearly evilâ. Or at least not entirely. Almost every human being is capable of doing bad things, except that most of us control our baser instincts. In her case her dark instincts were all there was and those were manipulated in a way that appealed to that part of her, when she had no countering decent instincts active.
Garrosh wasnt put down, he was killed by Thrall in a fight (and lets not get into the whole cheat thing because they didnt set any ground rules before they started).
That really doesnât matter. Someone trying to actively end all life must be destroyed. It doesnât matter if she had a nice personality 50 years ago.
Well, Christie Golden explicity said that Garrosh was evil because he was the orciest orc, and Thrall was good because he was raised by humans. She used Orcs as a toxic masculinity metaphor.
