No the light hates anything that does not serve it, and will let anyone who sucks it's dick use it's power. Look at the scarlet crusade.
I think about 7/10. His face is too soft for any kind of splish-splash.
Here, let me put a single drop of pure capsaicin on your tongue and a single drop of lead heated to 200 degrees as well.
Both of them will hurt you to a similar degree, but only one of them is actually going to do real -harm- to you.
Canonically, the reason the Light hurts undead beings so terribly is because as it deals damage it is also healing their dead nerve-endings which allows them to send more "OH GOD WE'RE FUCKED!" signals to the brain. Even healing magic by the light does this, without causing any actual damage to the undead being, and in fact repairing damage, it still hurts like a motherfucker because those nerve endings register everything around them as pain.

Canonically, the Scarlet Crusade tortured and murdered anyone they captured who wasn't a human because they were the Scarlet KKKrusade. And any human they captured would be tortured into joining the Scarlet Crusade or murdered if they refused.

Jesus Christ. He didn't cry tears of "Boo hoo hoo I dont want to be here and I am a little bitch"...
The tears were more two-fold:
1. Partly staring into the bright holy light. Have you every looked right at the sun? Tears. Every time.
2. But more to the point, they were tears of abject humility and a plea to the light to heal his countrymen that were injured fighting for the Alliance with no regret.
Anduin has something that no other leader has had to date in the storyline. He has raw compassion and love for his people. If you didn't play out the storyline that ultimately takes him to the cinematic at the Tomb of Sargeras where his father fell, then you haven't seen this. All you see is tears and think weakness. It takes great strength to have the character that Anduin has become.
Truthfully, I did not like his character very much during Cataclysm... and somewhat during MoP it bothered me... but really like where they are taking him now.
I agree with most of that, Oakshana. Though I'd also like to add that there was regret in his expression, as well. Regret for leading those brave soldiers into a battle to get hurt, perhaps even killed. There was pain in his eyes, empathy for his fellow beings that lay broken and harmed on the field, and in part because of -his- commands.
Regret at choosing to don the mask of the Lion of Stormwind, and to act as a warrior when, in truth, he is something so very, very, different.
And as the Light heeded his call, as life flooded the field of battle again, there was -joy-. Both in knowing who he truly was, in the moment, with no complications, and also in the sensation of being able to help, to repair the damage he likely blames himself for out of his boundless compassion for others.
Anduin is a fucking awesome character.

Case in point: Arthas slaughtering uninfected innocent civilians during the Culling of Stratholme with all his Paladinly abilities brought to bear for that cause.
If the Light cared about who it was used on, wouldn't it have stopped him? Or perhaps -not- harmed the innocent and uninfected people he was attacking while harming the infected? The infected had Death Magic in them, after all, so the Light could easily tell the difference...
Instead, he killed them all. Every last man woman and child, just to be sure. And even after that he retained his Paladin Abilities while killing his own soldiers in Northrend when they sought to return home rather than die in the frozen north.
The Light doesn't care, it isn't "Good" distilled in magic. It's just the Light.

uhh no, there was LOTS of humans leftover, not all of them were killed.
The scarlet crusade then started killing everything, human or undead, claiming they were all undead. AGAIN look at the story of the headless horsemen, and why the alliance are even scent to purge the scarlets.
they were murdering tons of humans
1.
Ain't got no beef with the guy.
I'd definitely fight him though but that's just because I'm Horde and I'd love to beat the Alliance in any fight.
Doesn't mean I wanna bash his face in. I respect the kid.
