Just want to call attention to why the Garrosh WoD cutscene hit so hard for people who liked him like me. It was absolutely the most self aware he had ever been. It was almost sad. Thrall said he chose his own destiny which is absolutely true, but Thrall had no business making him Warchief in the first place. And Garrosh knew it from the start.That's just a justification to excuse him and nothing else. Garrosh could have taken those initial criticisms to heart, weighed them, and actually had a conversation with his interlocutors such as Vol'jin and Cairne. In short, he could've learned from his mistakes as opposed to doubling down on them over, and over, and over. Hell, he could've even sat down with Thrall to discuss Thrall's philosophy on why the Horde had settled in Durotar and on a path of austerity and racial penance for their crimes on Draenor. At any point Garrosh could've chosen not just diplomacy, but the actual process of learning and growing. But he doesn't, he instead makes enemies of critics and treats any criticism as if it were an assault on his person. He does this as much in WotLK as he does in Cata, too. Thrall's main failing in this calculus isn't "abandoning" Garrosh, it was making him Warchief in the first place - a fact that Garrosh himself, in a rare display of introspection, even calls him out on before meekly accepting the mantle.
