    Warcraft has always been a story about superheros with a fantasy veneer. You've got to be a pretentious bag of hot air to complain about Thrall's story line in Cataclysm.
    Thank you GOD nothing could be more true then this, by extension to those saying it. Warcraft is so very much comic book themed in its story, and thats what draws me to it, about heroes and villians with almighty powers fighting against one another, in an elaborate world full of brightly coloured clothing, flying fortresses and steam punk engineering, its a comic book world. To that extent, what Thrall does is not beyond the grain of this games story, it is very much part of it.

    I'll downplay him since I think he's a sack of vomit, but regardless of the evils he committed, he is still nowhere on par with characters like Jaina, Varian, Velen or Malfurion.

    i'll bite once again.

    Velen is just a prophet, with not clear pictures (leaves argus to dreanor to escape BL, where his people are almost completely killed by corrupted orcs.) who is only good at running.

    Malfurion is just as much neutral as Thrall these days. Players can attack and kill his wife, while he does nothing. Besides Humaal is just as powerful as Malfurion. Its just Malfurion is Cenarius' golden boy.

    Honestly between Varian and Garrosh their strengths as warriors are arguable even. (no clear victor in the small skirmish in dalaran. both have experience in pit fighting)


    edit: for grammar

    It's a shame. Some characters just HAVE to die for the story to be compelling. Like Arthas, or Varian's wife...
    Thrall can stay. But he better not be named Go'el if he's back in power.

    Velen cleansed the sunwell of its corruption and restored it to the blood elves. along with being one of the most powerful prophets on azeroth is is also one of the most powerful priests. This has been made clear in so many passages of the story.

    Malfurion is just as much neutral as Thrall these days. Players can attack and kill his wife, while he does nothing. Besides Humaal is just as powerful as Malfurion. Its just Malfurion is Cenarius' golden boy.
    Game mechanics =|= Lore, Malfurion is an alliance leader and stands as such.

    Honestly between Varian and Garrosh their strengths as warriors are arguable even. (no clear victor in the small skirmish in dalaran. both have experience in pit fighting)
    Varian wasn't made into the wolf god avatar when they faught in dalaran. He ran across ashenvale forest with his army of worgen and didn't break a sweat. He's clearly a 'chosen one', the alliances version of captain american.

    Argue all you want but the point is so clear, the alliance has more power under its belt now then the horde has, and with the alliance have additional leaders who are powerhouses themselves, the horde needs someone in it to balance it.

    Why so? The Nagrand episode is part of Thralls voyage to find his higher meaning and purpose, and the powers that he had deep inside. It was a spiritual journey, for which he had to let go (Spiritually) of his worldly boundaries that were holding him back and occupied from reaching the depths of his soul. He had to let his mind free, instead of still thinking as the warchief in command. He had to mentally start to develop trust into his decision to give Garrosh the lead, temporarily.
    That has little to do with holding the task and rank by lawful meaning. For that to happen, we'd would have had to have an ingame event that made Garrosh the officially permanent Warchief.
    What is this silliness? Thrall made Garrosh Warchief. Permanently. Thrall's actions in Echo Isles were out of personal outrage, not an "official" act of a Warchief. He expected respect from the Kor'kron, not because he was the Warchief but because he was Thrall.

    Also, major lore events don't HAVE to happen in game. Often they don't. Example: Cairne's death.

    Thrall is not a Mary Sue. People who say this don't know what a Mary Sue is.

    "Mary Sue" is not a term of derision for any character you think is overpowered.

    Been saying that all this time. People who keep using the term and clueless on where the definition is meant to apply to, but they throw it around anyway to any character if he's a main lore figure or does something powerful.
    All it shows is some hacks who understand little about fantasy and fiction.

    They NEVER said that. At one point they made comments implying the next Warchief WOULD be Thrall, then they retracted them.

    Pure player speculation.

    ... Nazgrim... seriously...

    Yeah, those three stooges fighting over the Dwarven kingdoms are terrifying. And the super genius gnomish engineer who in 8 years STILL hasn't managed to take his home city back from some freaking troggs. Even the Trolls managed to get Echo Isles back!
