Great site btw... It's like a family friendly Encyclopedia Dramatica...
Anyway, I was on the God Mode Sue page, and found this:
God Mode Sue exists purely to show up how pathetically weak the rest of the world is, and how badly they need his or her help. If there's anybody else that is even capable of standing up for themselves, they may lose their abilities for some reason when the character comes into the equation, or become incompetent %^&*s, or both. They'll probably get captured or find something that they just can't handle. Then the God Mode Sue shows up, saves the day on his or her own at least twice as easily as they usually do when working as a team, and doesn't get his or her ass kicked at all. Then he or she stands around and wallows in their praise a bit.
Isn't that funny? The first thing I think of is Med'an and Thrall. As soon as Med'an comes along, Thrall ends up turning into an ineffectual leader so Med'an can save the day.
You can use it for Malfurion, Rhonin, the possibilities are endless!
And I don't know why else I posted this. Thought it was funny... :P So... Discuss? :P

Has Med'an really done that though? I mean yeah, he flash fries the Forgotton One, but beyond that, he hasn't really done much "Sue'ing", and I thought you wanted him to step in, as it keeps Thrall from beginning the next Guardian.

He's the lovingly concieved bastard child of Garona and Medivh. Half human, quarter orc, quarter Draenei...Need I say much more? Oh, and he was spouted from the comics, which are about as good as Knaak for Sues.

You know, I've realized something: Med'an from the comics, and Rhonin, Krasus and other of Knaak's characters are insulted and made fun of, yet Brox, who killed a mountain of demons with a magical wooden axe and nicks Sargeras ankle is hailed as a hero and grand champion. I'd like to know why that is?

I'd like to know why that is?That's because Brox is the brother of Saurfang.
He really IS that powerful.

So being the Chuck Norris of WoW = Anti-sueness?

It works either way; Brother or actual Saurfang. I just find it funny people moan about Knaak's Sue's except for Brox.

The thing is, Brox actually died. His Sue days are OVER...therefore there's no reason to complain.

Ah so death is the only way to remove the Sue-taint.... In that case, may Med'an, Krasus and Rhonin live forever. And may Tyri and Kalec have many many many childern to keep people angry about Knaak's work.

Tyri and Kalec are okay, but I prefer Tyri. :(
Rhonin, Med'an and Krasus will never die anyway, they are the author's pets.

Med'an isn't his pet, as far as I know Knaak has nothing to do with the comics.
And if you prefer Tyri, are you looking forward to Dragons of Outland then Patty?

And if you prefer Tyri, are you looking forward to Dragons of Outland then Patty?Whut? o_O
If it's happening, depends on the abominations she's stuck with. If I see the name Krasus or Rhonin anywhere, it's going in my fireplace...if it's true. ^_^

see.
Suppose to have Jorad Mace, going to show why he and Tyri are in Netherstorm, and is going to help with the whole "Maylgos is crazy, now he's not because of Tyrigosa" thing they've never really cleared up. And Krasus will be in there, it's a Dragon book after all, but I doubt Rhonin will be heh.
And.... We hijacked Skreeran's thread a little.

Krasus is in it. I think I'll save myself a few quid.

Well.... I don't know for certain, merely guessing seeing as he was behind the whole "Placing the Sunwell into a Mortal Shell" thing in Sunwell triology.

By the way, I might be a little slow on the RPs today... TVTropes is eating my browser with too many tabs.
Sometimes my lust for knowledge and humour is a curse.

I'd like to know why that is?Personally I actually have heard people criticizing Brox, for the same reasons.
Not quite as often as those others, maybe, but nonetheless.
The thing is, Brox actually died. His Sue days are OVER...therefore there's no reason to complain.Though, this also certainly helps things.
EDIT: Also, obligatory "TVTropes will ruin your life."
