I don't think anyone is going to read this, but I need to say why I'm disappointed.Garrosh wasn't planned as a villain. He was meant to be a hot head who matured into a hero. There are direct quotes from devs saying this, and you can find subtle traces of it through TBC-Cata.Citation of dev quotes: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/compilation-blizzards-lies-2/30264But by MoP it was fully dropped and he became an exaggeration of himself.If you only look at surface level Garrosh, he seems consistent, but there are contradictions to it. Like if you completed Nagrand's questline, helping save Garrosh, he had alternate dialogue in Northrend where he called you his friend and admitted his true fears.This is to say nothing of the infamous Stonetalon questline, where he echoes the words of Saurfang that he learned in Wrath.If you compare even the worst parts of pre-MoP Garrosh to the actions of MoP Garrosh, they really are two different characters.Pre-MoP Garrosh was a hothead and could be arrogant, but he also chided (or executed) his own soldiers for acting dishonorably.MoP Garrosh approved bomb dropping (which is basically the same thing he executed someone for in Cataclysm), sabotaging his allies, assassinations, and dark shamanism. Among other things. He was completely over the top.Around Legion, Blizzard started trying to hide that they planned differently for the character, retconing his actions and removing certain dialogue from the game.In BfA, however, they did hint at the fact that this was not always the intended direction for Garrosh - specifically the line about how in most timelines Garrosh became a hero of the Horde.I had hoped, when they showed Garrosh in Shadowlands, that they might be bringing him back to acknowledge the original plans for Garrosh, use it as a chance to show the other sides of him. While I wouldn't call what they showed bad, necessarily, or even call it "MoP Garrosh", since this could pass just as well as Wrath or Cata Garrosh. But I'm really disappointed that they chose to end Garrosh this way, rather than do something more with him.Even if it was something small like they did in WoD, showing an emotional weakness like he has here:https://youtu.be/D1SdVC2mrz8?t=62There's also the story oversight issue where supposedly every timeline Garrosh ends up as the same Garrosh in the afterlife, which means that every heroic Garrosh somehow went to Revandreth instead of Maldraxxus and that they all hate Thrall for some reason too. Though let's not pretend Blizzard have any awareness of their own writing.
If anyone deserved a redemption arch, it's Garrosh. : /
Why is this cinematic in such obvious, low quality?
Did Tusks of Mannoroth drop?
The scene was a little awkward with the mouth movements as usual, but definitely glad he got some revenge.Also...he wasn't killed off - he was already dead lmao.

Best leader the Horde has ever had, right there. Sure he got a little genocidy at the end, but at least he got stuff done.Wonder how long he's been in the Shadowlands, though. He died in alternate Draenor, so was there a point where he was both in the Shadowlands AND Azeroth? Like if someone opened a portal to the Shadowlands during Cata, could he have went in and met himself?
Long live to Garrosh, might he intentiond áre good but done in the wrong way Yet he Did what he believed was right until the endAlso i think was MoP when Ion started writting for WoW for those talkinf about Cata va MoP Garrosh
Much, much better than the Sylvanis hunk of junk.
I'm surprised that no one here has mentioned the parallels between Garrosh's death and his father Grom's death in WCIII. Granted, this one was SIGNIFICANTLY less impactful, both emotionally and plot wise, but it was a nice nod to the general "epic suicide chop" theme.
In that case though there's literally no reason why Arthas shouldn't be given the same treatment then because he was in the same position she was except his soul was stolen and twisted by Frostmourne. A lot of people are more so worried about the fact that it doesn't matter if she's 'whole' again, she was still in enough control of herself to not do the horrible !@#$ she did as the Banshee Queen.
Garrosh is Gar-ash now.
His mouth looks like a horse eating peanut butter.
I was expecting him to say "I did nothing wrong".
Well. At least Garrosh got a chance to show he wasn't a complete failure in his final moments.
