    You are an honorable <race>, <name>. You have done much for the Mag'har. No one could ever deny your service to my people. Alas, the time of the Mag'har is at an end.

    I also wouldn't say that Garrosh "was never his own person," simply that the person he was is essentially weak, dependent on the approval of others, and so deep into his own delusions that he fractured the Horde he was supposed to lead, became a tainted abomination, and wound up damned to WoW's version of hell for his troubles. Jaina on the other hand was scarred by trauma, endured a period of volatile instability, but eventually evened out and became a stronger, wiser version of her original self. Garrosh refused to accept culpability for his own actions even in the deepest pit of the Shadowlands, whereas Jaina experienced a more positive growth and actually addressed and overcame her demons. That is what having a strong core of self is.

    You said that Garrosh was the only one who could absorb an Old God. This is false. Thus you have been corrected.
    If the Naaru are the "light" equivalent of the Old Gods, then that's a serious retcon. There's already a void version of the Naaru, and they aren't nearly as strong as the Old Gods are.

    The way that I understood it was that there were things at higher levels than the Naaru on both sides. Like... M'uru the Naaru turns into a void being known as Entropius. Definitely not an old god, and it wouldn't be the thing at the top of the hierarchy of the void either as that would be even stronger than a fully power Old God.

    So it seems to me there's at least three levels of beings with the Naaru being at the bottom of those three. We've not seen the light equivalent of the other two levels.

    Void side would be Strongest void thing -> Old God -> Entropius (Dark Naaru)
    Light side would be Strongest Light thing -> Second Strongest Light thing -> Naaru

    Garrosh never really moved on from his feelings of shame and weakness about having been sick of the Red Pox and called useless and weak by Kargath and other orcs, if he had he would have recognised that he wasn't at fault at all for being sick and that he has nothing to be ashamed about that and that it was Kargath and his men who were in the wrong.

    He also didn't really realize or chose to completely forget the lessons about his father after hearing about his redemption, otherwise he would have known that it wasn't drinking blood and using fel magic that were the problems but choosing to use an extremely dark form of magic and forsaking orc culture for the sake of power and slaughtering other species without good reasons, massacring innocents and children in the process, that were his father and the Old Horde's wrongs. Thins that he repeated just without the demonic aspects.

    Grommash was at least able to show some of his regrets and change at least partially his ways even if it took him being freed of Mannoroth's thrall just before his final battle and death for him to really learn his lesson, while Garrosh never show regret or admitted his faults and as such was unable of learning from them.

    Plus I mean Blizzard can say that Garrosh "controlled the whispers" all they want, the fact is that the game shows otherwise. As soon as he starts showering in Old God juice he grows increasingly more insane and unhinged, like he literally screams nonsense like "the world will burn muahahaha", that doesn't seem very stable and in control to me.
    A void naaru was a 5 man boss in legion. Not that big a deal. Meanwhile, garrosh could take on up to 30 adventurers.

    I think the issue really is that his character was inconsistently written. If he had shown more "daddy issues" then I'd have believed his change. Instead of talking about how he saw the Horde being crippled as part of their own self penance, he should have tied that into his OWN penance that he went through prior to Wrath; How he was always mopey and was pitiful due to his perceived understanding of his father's actions.

    He spent all of TBC moping about his father only to find out he was a hero in the end, it would have made a lot more sense for his motivation to be solely focused around his father's legacy instead of forging his own legacy. OR alternatively he could have used anger towards his father as a spark for the desire to create a better legacy so that no son in his bloodline would ever again feel like his heritage was weak.
    His hatred of the alliance could have been based on how they only see the bad in the orcs the same way he only knew the bad in his father. Instead, he just kinda hates them because they have branded themselves as enemies. Something like, "I will crush anybody who fails to see us as more than slaves of the demons! We have long since been freed!" instead of "I hate you because you said we're enemies and you won't be nice to us!"

    So definitely a lot of options they could have taken that would have made his slow descent into a villain a lot more clear.

    Not that inconsistent - invoking Grom was always a trigger for Garrosh. Thrall presses it in the pre-WotLK event, which precipitates a Mak'gora between him and Garrosh that only ends with the Herald of the Lich King interrupting it directly. Taran Zhu presses it during MoP, triggering Garrosh to attack in a rage and almost gut the Pandaren on Gorehowl. Garrosh ultimately failed to learn the lesson of Grom's many failures, seeing only his heroic final act as the sum total of the man. That he then goes in to live (and die) as a perverse inversion of Grom's own journey of atonement is quite fitting, all in all.

    Doing any of those things would've been the act of a stronger person, the kind of person that Garrosh's ultimately wasn't, yes. Even though I don't feel Garrosh was wrong about his views on Thrall's strange sense of racial austerity as penance for the Horde's actions on Draenor and earlier on Azeroth, the way he handles that sentiment speaks to his own self-aggrandizing and over-compensating personality. He could've (as Anachronos points out) been an excelling Warchief who guided the Horde out of self-enforced squalor and led them into a renaissance of self-determination, but he instead chose conquest over progress, a vain pursuit to lionize himself and live up to the false ideal of his father he'd created in his imaginings.

    As for his descent into villainy, I've always seen it as rather linear and not at all muddled. Pretty basic outline for your standard-issue tyrant: surround yourself with yes-men, trap yourself in an echo chamber of your own ideas, get drunk on endless approval, and finally have your fragile self-identity crash on the cold and unyielding surface of reality. In Garrosh's case, his delusional state of mind was so deeply ingrained that he would've gleefully perpetrated the Old Horde's genocide on the Draenei a second time, all in the name of vengeance and his own personal glory.

    It's certainly not the inanimate object of the story that's at fault. The writers are interested in setpiece dramas instead of character growth. Ironically, Danuser is the closest thing to a proponent of any kind of character arc that I see on their team, even if it just is for his self-insert to romance the Banshee Queen.

    that's literally exact opposite of what blizz own writing team flat out stated, in this interview (sadly link is dead now, i still bookmark it), Alex Afrasiabi literally says that half of lore team for MoP didn't get the memo of Garrosh change in Cata, he flat out admit that Cata was plan to make Garrosh more heroic and an actual good leader (hence why his Stonetalon and Twilight quests, and the short story that makes his coward attack in Icecrown backstab alliance wrong and promise to never repeat it), but half of wow team who was working on MoP who are supposed to be working in same fucking company in same fucking department, didn't notice entire Cata development (probably too high smoking weed) and went forward with MoP plans to make Garrosh orc hitler and turn our warchief to loot piniata and fuck our capital forever
    I miss wowinsider, honestly when that website was up i felt wow was REALLY loved and it filled me with a LOT of positivity towards wow, since that website died i feel more and more negative towards wow, minus the great Legion era (with all its flaws)
    And on side note, Garrosh interview for warchief (really old article, pre-cata) on wowinsider and 50 warchiefs better than Garrosh both are amazing and really funny and probably best fan article made for wow, sadly nothing modern i can think about that equals it (and also Scourge chat if any remember it)

    Golden's initial paragraph about Garrosh is absolutely correct. Garrosh is small-minded and personally weak. She is, of course, completely wrong about her follow-up: The whole reason Garrosh is weak is because he is blindly stubborn and acts only on his own fragiile pride and ego. As a result, he is incredibly inflexible and unwilling to take any action save what will drive him further down the foolish road he's chosen to walk.

    Considering that Golden is the one who had Jaina betray her own actual core values—those of logic and understanding that she held so firmly in Wc3—that woman has no business commenting on Jaina at all. She is all that is wrong with how that character has been written since.

    Blizzard writers are shit and they haven't told an above average story, (Not good, just above average.) since Diablo 2.

    The faction war story of World of Warcraft is legitimately hard to write because it has so many constraints. Both factions have a set of ideals that are not inherently contradictory that they must conform to. These factions must fight without breaking their ideals, without one or both factions being irredeemably evil, without the war being predicated on raw stupidity and without either faction ever winning because they always need to be playable.

    That would be an almost impossible task for a great writer. Blizzard is filled with shit writers from top to bottom.

    Imo, they should stay in their lane and write cookie cutter stories about good guys and good orcs vs the giant soulless army commanded by whatever flavor of the Devil we're up against this week. They don't have the writing bona fides to handle anything more complicated or nuanced than that because they suck.

    Way too much is made of Stonetalon quests in Cata, which as Afrasiabi admits are a product of miscommunication and thus a mistake - but that's just *one* incident in which Garrosh was mischaracterized, and to be honest it's pretty easy to dovetail even that into Garrosh's greater characterization and arc into villainy. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, as the saying goes, and so Stonetalon happens to be a set-piece where Gsrrosh's better nature was briefly visible amongst a career of boneheaded power plays. In the Twilight Highlands Garrosh comes off as a blowhard - and while he always was a powerful warrior and front-line fighter, he remained a horrible and ineffectual leader. Cata was the same expansion and story-arc where Garrosh also almost got himself killed by Quillboar by wading into combat without thought.

    One instance of Garrosh being decent doesn't derail his arc - it's just a bump in the road, more or less, and completely overshadowed by his later actions.

    And honnestly the lack of opposition from Saurfang and most Horde leaders to attacking the NE like that and without major provocation from them, and for Azerite and just after the Burning Legion war, as well as the lack of remorse amongst the Horde (especially the Nightborne) for their actions barring Baine and Saurfang was really forced and made the Horde look very unsympathetic.
    The whole situation was forced, from start to finish. Cherrypicking individual things is kinda pointless. As far as Horde being vicious goes that's kind of the point tbh. They were always the darker faction, more aggressive, more willing to crack a few skulls, if it meant getting things done. Unfortunately over the years, when Horde had some sort of a dilema the usual answer was "Make it more like the Alliance", which resulted in generic uninteresting things like moder day Blood Knights, whom I'd be surprised if you could separate ideologically from the Silver Hand.

    As a matter of fact, BKs were full fledged members of the Silver Hand as of Legion. What a shame, really... Their BC characterisation is far more interesting.

    It’s incredibly unlikely golden got any say in story direction for jaina outside of Mabye doing more bad romance stuff.

    That’s no way blizzard would let a contractor choose how major characters they plan to use a ton play out.
    All I ever wanted was the truth. Remember those words as you read the ones that follow. I never set out to topple my father's kingdom of lies from a sense of misplaced pride. I never wanted to bleed the species to its marrow, reaving half the galaxy clean of human life in this bitter crusade. I never desired any of this, though I know the reasons for which it must be done. But all I ever wanted was the truth.

    The writers generally have a lot of influence over the minor details and execution. (Like how Sylvanas magically absolved Anduin of any plausible guilt, in regards tot he Calia situation going south, in BtS... Tbh when ir ead it that book was kinda narrator bias heavy)

    But i agree that the large scale decisions are a top down problem from the Director, Executive Producer, Lead Writer, etc. level.

    they do tend to have influence Golden has said she's pushed for some things like adding anduin to the shattering and they let her do it but as you said the actual lead story writers wouldn't put there plans on hold for something a contractor wants to do when they won't be involved with the story past the material they were contracted to make.

    as far as Jiana goes blizzard had an ingame plan for her as she had a ton of screen time in mop there's no way they would have let golden change that plan they would have just hired her to flesh out the minor details for what they already wanted in a novel.

    But on top of that, Garrosh didn't have anime powers like Varian. All he got was his own strength and hus willpower. He controlled an Old God. A feat not done by any character.

    Garrosh was a formidable foe and a headstrong leader.
    Not entirely. The writers suck, no doubt but Garrosh does have failings. Which is fine.

    He didn't control the heart. It wouldn't have given him what he wanted to get. Also, even if it can be argued that he controlled the HEART. That does not equal him controlling Y'Shaarj. You are extrapolating here like crazy to make your point. A point you don't really need to make cuz the story writing does suck.

    As far as the war goes, what proof is there that he was winning? Sylvanas got further than him and caused far more damage.

    Grom killed mannoroth. And I dunno why you feel salty about Varian.

    Jaina flips her personality every other day that ends in Y. And honestly I didn't expect anything different from Golden. After Rise of the Lich King she really started shilling for Jaina in a horrible ass way.

    Make no mistake. The story does absolutely suck. Heck I was optimistic till BfA start. Then I was just neutral at BfA end. And now I'm just disappointed. They did Garrosh dirty. But some of what you claim is just wrong.

    That removes Golden from the equation and that makes me think that before the storm it was written without enough information or worse without being clear about SW.
