As much as I disliked Tyrande's attitude towards Illidan, I do agree she NEVER used his feelings for her against him. Tyrande always remained Indifferent towards his "advances". The whole love triangle situation is not comfortable to begin with, especially with a guy who just won't let go after you made your choice.
Oh, Iâll be the first to acknowledge her attitude towards him was really shitty. Even though I donât think she should react the way Illidan wanted her to, I do agree that the way she acts isnât good either --- she was one of those responsible for him being imprisoned the way he was, after all (and there is no excuse for how terrible his prison was, like, he could have been imprisoned to pay for his crimes and still be treated as a person should, which he wasnât).
As I said, there are plenty of things you can use to point out Tyrande was wrong in doing. She does a lot of shit tbh. But yeah, she never used his feelings for her, if anything she completely ignored them. Yes, she has a share of guilt in how he was imprisoned, her attitude towards him once she frees him is really shitty, and that she supports Malfurion exiling him after he literally sacrifices his soul to save them all is even worse, not to mention that after everything he does in Legion her reaction to his message isnât any better.Â
But using of his feelings for her is something sheâd never do, for several reasons. Tyrande doesnât use of lying and manipulating people to get what she wants --- in fact sheâs often honest to the point of bluntness, as seen with Thalyssra. I canât see someone who loathes the idea of becoming like Azshara being anything other than disgusted at the idea of using someoneâs love for her to manipulate him. And thatâs without saying that in spite of their divergences and of everything bad there is between Tyrande and Illidan, one of the reasons she disliked so much to âhaveâ (I mean she didnât have to, but the writers said that she had so) to pick one of them was because she didnât want to hurt the other. And yeah, that was when they were still friends but how would she go from âI donât want to make this choice because Iâll hurt him and I wish he just didnât have feelings for meâ to âIâll store him like a weapon and when itâs time to use him Iâll manipulate his feelings to make him fight for meâ just... doesnât make any sense to me.
