Also the Scions protecting us from Endsinger but none of those four examples was invasive or disrespectful to our character. The WoL is never alone and getting a small assist (even though one was the unlikeliest) is fitting with the idea that our relationships with people provide some of our strength.

If Wuk had come in and done something like used all her strength to break us out of something we were trapped in and then was exhausted in the corner or gets yeeted back out while we finish what we started then I think there would have been a lot less uproar about it.

Having that come on the heels of the expansion never allowing any other character to really be showcased in favor of always pushing Wuk, it was just kind of the last straw.
