Another bit to add: Thrall is voiced by Chris Metzen, the guy who creates the lore for Warcraft. So Thrall is perfect as written by the guy who writes the lore, who also plays the character. That's equivalent to the original definition of Mary Sue, which was an author-insert into fan-fic who was perfect and adored by all the other characters in the pre-existing world that it was a fanfic of. Thrall fits that pretty closely(with arguability on whether Metzen created all of Warcraft).

Sure Metzen also voices Varian, but Varian isn't a Mary Sue like Thrall. Varian has flaws, many of which Hordies(and some Alliance) use to accuse Varian of being a terrible person and equivalent to a future villain.
