Think for himself?
Let’s see:
he could have stopped this from the start by Mak’gora … he didn’t… all he did was nag about honor. Which, he proves, he knows nothing about. Ergo, he’s a frigging coward.
He could have acted honorable when princess longhair opened the gate for him, by sitting and not accepting this act of treachery. As he’d know if taking this up he’ll become a puppet of the alliance. Another act of cowardice and also adding to him being a traitor.
He could have killed princess longhair at that moment easily, but that would have gotten him killed -> cowardice.
Same goes for Baine, but on top of Baine not performing a Mak’gora, he decides to act in the shadows -> traitor.
Thrall is the only one “not really to blame” right now. He doesn’t really know what subsided. But yeh, the moment Thrall finds out what passed he should either challenge Sylv for Warchief, OR shut up, stand in line and execute the traitors.
Tho I still will say him cheating at his Mak’gora … is still on my mind. But for now it’s not THAT important.
And blindly following the warchief? … no, just pointing out the cowards and the honorless. And following her in battle, yes, she get’s things done… unlike the cowards before her.
Added to that, didn’t “everyone” follow the warchief blindly when Vol’jin was in charge? … how is “standing by your warchief” back then different form “standing by your warchief” now? … 'cause she actually achieves something?
And adding a last thing: they aren’t thinking for themselves… they are manipulated by princess longhair… so that’s even worse than standing by the real horde
