I assume the people saying "WoL is like Gandalf" are 100% headcanoning it, because it seems like the obvious thing to write, but when did they write it?
Like so many things people defend the plot with, WoL being a mentor figure to Wuk was strictly tell-don't-show. And even the "telling" part was just Gulool asking us to look out for her once. I'd argue we aren't even told we are her mentor.
