    I know Thrall just turned into Go'el but it would be great if we could do another 180 and help him get his Doomhammer regalia back. Even if it's not to make him Warchief.

    Literally the only reason he ever even became Go'el was to have an opportunity to shoot laserbeams out of some trinket which honestly anyone else could have done. He could have easily stayed Warchief but helped the Earthen Ring maintain the Maelstrom too. The entire Cataclysm Thrall story-arc was entirely unnecessary and in fact a detriment to the Warcraft storyline.

    Please, tell me how they are even remotely similar. Because they mega-attacked the bosses of their own expansions? That's not a very convincing argument. I really hate how the Lich King died too, btw.

    Agreed. If DC was smart they'd sue Blizz for the Go'el shit as well. Go'el is the most un-orc name ever. Kal'el called and he wants his Kryptonian heritage back. Orcs are not from Krypton. I hated the whole midlife crisis Thrall crap, totally weakened him as a character, especially as a leader. Do the Orcs really want someone back who can't deal with internal conflict without some sort of spirit walk when things get tough. The entire emo, FL, thrall fight my inner demons shit was terrible.

    He lost all his characteristics as a leader. Which is really what made Thrall great. He was a real leader for the horde until that point. Its like all of the sudden all the trainning and upbringing went out the window. He learned tactics while a slave and leadership right after from Doom/Grom...then all the sudden he just abandoned it all to have a internal struggle at a crucial point. Then appointed a young hot head to the leadership role, again against all he knew was the right decision until then. Its one of the worst story telling moments. Its almost a betrayal to the character Thrall had become. Everything he actually accomplished in Cata could have been done as leader of the horde. Controlling the heart of the Aspect, taking a wife, overcoming inner turmoil, and seeding an heir. Its all things that he could have done without giving up who he was, but instead he stops being Thrall. Kills me.

And pissed aswell Saurfang in Northrend about all his over-brutal ways of leading the war, he was completely ok with savage and bloody tactics that could ensure victory, but never with the usage of devices, backstabbing, tricking and so on, and he seemed always pretty sincere and steady about it. .
    Good points.
    But I think ultimatly the difference is that Garrosh eventually won against the Scourge. Not so much against the Alliance.
    By the time the end of Cata came around, things werent lookin to good for the Horde.
    Ashenvele, the main reason for the war, was far from being secured, and then the whole human/dwarf invasion of the Barrens and even Durotar

    Another point about the Scourge, which as covered in some Know Your Lore article, was that Garrosh learned to fight against the Scourge.
    The Scourge were undead, they knew no fear, no negotiation, the only way to defeat them was through brute strength and force.
    Even Thrall laments on that in the Shattering, how the current generation of Horde warriors killed undead, which isnt the same as killing people who have feelings and families

    Garrosh can just be exiled/imprisoned or whatever, would be fine by me, and just come back a better person for it
    The Hellscream name dsnt deserve to be just left in the gutter

    that remains to be seen where she stands in SoO. We already see her appearing in durotar controlling proto drakes for Garrosh's war, meaning she's on his side. But given the horde rebels and alliance will storm the place, she will either die, or come around to our side against Garrosh (likewise with Nazgrim)

    Tirion was one of the greatest paladins that the Alliance ever knew, while Thrall was nothing more than a baby at the same period. Your argument is weak. Ofcourse, they are not IDENTICAL, rather are pretty different, with different goals and so on, but their role in the game (at least until the end of Cata) was pretty similar. They had different backgrounds, and the only reason for which the last years Tirion wasn't directly tied with the Alliance as Thrall was with the Horde was just for his sad past of bigoted accusations of a jealous crap paladin, that in the end brought him to the exile. This didn't change the fact that, in his hearth, he remained Alliance.

    Then he remained alone in the Plaguelands, accepting of course the help of both Horde and Alliance, because of his new found ideals. And while in Wotlk he returned by that lost hole of the Eastern to become the hero of all, he was just leading a neutral organitazion with a common goal. This doesn't mean at all that he is not affiliated with the Alliance anymore, he just lead a neutral army, but if he choose to stop to a non-Argent camp, he will undoubtely choose the Alliance one (as seen in Howling Fjord) and is very unlikely that he would be fully accepted to walk on Orgrimmar or Undercity as he likes just because his Argent Crusade have orcs and forsaken that choose to side with him. Still, he remain a "neutral character" because while he IS Alliance, he don't share their feelings toward the Horde and prefer to lead the Argent Crusade. And Thrall was the same story. He was a member, than leader, of a neutral organization of shamans, with orcs, tauren, dwarves, draenei ecc. with the commong goal to save the world, while the one of Tirion was to destroy the evil (same result in the end) and while Thrall has been the Horde leader during the past expansions, he was the best person on the Horde that could decide to accept the help of the Alliance and become neutral, because he never hated the Alliance, instead of many of the orcs, the trolls except Vol'jin (that still had much less trust in them than Thrall) the blood elves and the forsaken. Well, nearly all of them, even many tauren have a strong hate now for the Alliance for the events in the Barrens, don't be fooled by Baine and his lovely friendship with the blond shorty.
    Thrall just wanted to protect the Horde, not destroy the Alliance, and the only reason for which an Alliance player felt more strange work with Thrall than for a Horde one work with Tirion, was just for in-game material (a lot of people didn't even knew the story of Tirion when they did his quests) but storywise there is no difference at all.

    As Tirion, Thrall doesn't share the same hate and distrust for the Alliance as his other Horde brethren have, and until MoP he remained in a similar situation. Still, the fact that Thrall was on Durotar playing with babies doesn't mean that he returned totally Horde-affiliated and in war with the Alliance, that is just his home. And now is just active in the Darkspear rebellion, nothing strange about it.

    God, imagine Thrall if he said "i have problems with the world and the elements, the Horde it is not my faction anymore, good job" ? All the Thrall haters jumping in the wagon saying "Look that suck ass, he made all this mess and doesn't even show his face !!11!1!! Thrall is a stupid asshole, i HOPE HE DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!1!!11!1!" And still people desire his death regardless for stupid reasons. Amazing.
    Thrall would be possibile to considered again a full Horde character just if he decide to leave the Earthen Ring for good for not leave a Horde leaderless after the dethroning of Garrosh.
    The only real difference beetwen Thrall and Tirion in their role is that Tirion was a...moderate presence, in Cata there was definetly too much Thrall, and things like the FR chain and the wedding...well, i didn't like them at all, just for say it in a good manner.

    About the Lich King, i liked the way he died instead, because make sense with the Arthas's character in WotLK. Still, i felt the "There must always be a Lich King" a bit strained.

    Agreed. Time for meditations, shamanism and save the world-ism is over. Time to pick up the old symbols of the "Warchief" Thrall and kick some asses.

    Come on, if Thrall is too good and too strong with no weaknesses is a boring character

    If Thrall have weaknesses and inner demons, if a pussy annoying emo.

    I mean, i agree that Thrall as Warchief had more grit, but was just character developement, and was not that bad see Thrall having grounded doubts about his role as Warchief, if he was the right leader for them or not, was a transion of his character. There is even the chance that when his doubts and fears about all this painful "Garrosh's Horde" mess is done, he could become like before, maybe even better.

    It might be a terrible idea, but after what Blizz pulled at the end of Cata, don't be surprised if this happens at the end of the Siege. I'm hoping not.... I'm REALLY REALLY hopping not....but...the potential is there.

    shut up already. This Thrall hate is getting obnoxious and just makes me want to backhand alliance.

    He's a good guy who made a mistake, GUESS WHAT, People make mistakes, you see it all the time, doesn't mean they should suffer for it. And Thrall is right now back in 5.3 and putting himself on the line to try and deal with this problem.

    He does what he can to right things, but thats not good enough for some of the negative coots in this community.

    And hey, all you negative drips trying to use the Garrosh excuse to accuse Thrall of making a mistake, GUESS WHAT, You made the mistake in believeing Garrosh was something good for the horde, all of you garry fans did. Maybe we should string all you up for making such a blunder of misjudgement.

    Keep it civil please.

    yeah well its hard to tell these days when people are serious about it or not, and frankly I'm getting pissed off with some of the things the wow community spews out.
    'Garrosh is such a good leader, blizzard just made him evil, thats not him'
    'Its all Thralls fault, he's such a mary sue, he made the mistake of giving Garrosh power (he's a mary sue but makes mistakes, see why its bullshit what people say)'
    'Anduin is such a mary sue now, he should die'.

    This games become f***ing toxic because of the community these days.

    If Thrall makes a mistake and it has no negative repercussions for him that seems pretty Mary Sue-ish.
    If you are particularly bold, you could use a Shiny Ditto. Do keep in mind though, this will infuriate your opponents due to Ditto's beauty. Please do not use Shiny Ditto. You have been warned.
