The problem with Anduin is not that he's good. It's that his goodness, while being at odds with the state of the world he lives in, never gets him in real trouble and when he does get into trouble, it's not because of his own decisions but due to outside circumstances he has no influence on. There's no repercussions, no trade-off, no struggle for him (at least in BfA). His righteousness always seems to be rewarded when it should be punished most of the time. If you establish that a moral character faces adversities just as easily as an immoral character, then why would anyone be immoral in the first place other than for the sake of being evil?
Being good should always mean that you have to sacrifice something but for Anduin it's simply the path of least resistance because it's in his nature to be "good".
lol
I mean, sure, if I "forget all I know", like the Alliance now having two demi-gods, a spaceship with the potential to wipe the Horde off the face of Azeroth, and Mages capable of destroying entire capital cities. Not to mention, the leader of the blue dragonflight being in a relationship with one of them. I'm sure Wrathion would have no issue joining the Alliance instead of the Horde if it came down to it anyway; he did, after all, vouch for us to wipe the Horde out in MoP.
Then there's Bolvar. Sure, he's neutral now, but if it came down to it? Let's be real, he's got two choices.
Once he sees his daughter on the Alliance, he could destroy the Horde and raise them into Undeath, or just kill everyone to empower his own army.
Then there are the hyper-advanced Mechagnomes that just joined us.
But sure, we can pretend that "The Horde is the most dominant force on Azeroth".

Can't even take you seriously now. He's an Archdruid, chosen as a student by Cenarius himself, brought about the Great Sundering, was fighting (and winning ofc) against Sylvanas and her troops in Darkshore.
Sylvanas wouldn't have gotten anywhere near Teldrassil if it weren't for Saurfang's axe.

He was Velen's student though. Then we have Alleria and Turalyon+his Army of the Light who fought the Burning Legion for ... very long. Tyrande has been a leader of her people for 10k years. You don't stay on top for that long if you are dumb.

No. He's simply the face of the Alliance's failure.

Oh, he sacrificed plenty. Or more like, he gave his allies lives - which were not his to give to begin with - for being "good".
Now is that really "good"?
This is kind of why I want him overthrown.
This line needs to end, and it should have ended with Varian.
When you compare the top 1% on each side, the Horde cannot begin to hold a candle to Alliance.
When you compare warships, a fleet of zeppelins would be laughable fodder for a spaceship with freaking lazers, which by the way is full operational and just, like, chillin' (LFGoats use it as a capital, after all, and I cannot recall a single thing saying its weapon were decommissioned or whatever).
Jaina could probably wipe out the entirety of Thunder Bluff herself if she were so inclined to test her limits.
It just goes on and on; even if the Horde is 3-1 ratio, the power is skewed vastly towards Alliance.
They need to get away from the Menethil bloodline and write the Alliance as the betrayed, angry side for once.
Put Jaina or Genn or someone else as equally crazy at the helm for once, let them go full bore and destroy TB or SM, have them get revenge by blood.
Throw the Horde back onto its heels for real; not the "True Horde" Garrosh wanted, or the "Iron Horde" that the AU Horde wanted, or even whatever you want to call Sylvanas' group... the actual, real Horde.
Throw Anduin in chains for allowing war criminals to escape then basically saying "you murdered millions, but it's cool", try him for his own war crimes, then move into risky uncharted territory where both sides have reason to fight.
Otherwise, it's a bunch of the same; the human being the bitch who wants peace while bloodthirsty hyenas swarm around him.
It really does not make any sense. Genn is in no position to do anything big. Gilneas was not that big of a kingdom to begin with, and despite their having possibly the best soldiers in Azeroth due to the potency of the Worgen curse, is that really enough to do anything?
And who would the 'moonemo' be? If you are referring to Tyrande, the title of High King was invented such a long time ago that I don't see how that would make any sense.
To be quite honest, High King of the Alliance is just another bad decision by Blizzard to make both factions seem identical, separated by aesthetic pretty much. Which is, of course, nonsensical.
High King could be just another badly managed piece by Blizzard, won't be the first time something like this is happening. They like to equalize/homogenize everything nowdays, so the title might as well just be spat out there, as an equivalent ot Warchief. Fact is tho, it's still around.
Regarding Genn and Tyrande, I just believe they are way too unstable, and the only thing keeping them from doing something stupid and create additional, needless chaos is Anduin. About forces, odds and stuff like that, I don't think anybody considers them when he/she's rampaging (myself included).
