Stannis burned people for no other reason than the red woman told him to.Stannis would have been such a great king.
I liked Renly too. And Dickon.

Haha.Luckily I didn't open this yesterday. Mods ban this r/freefolk leaker.
You have my sympathy and admiration.I'm slow these past few days. Blame Ramadan
And you have my gratitude.You have my sympathy and admiration.
Your story could work in principle, but several key points are simply not there in the show or contradict what we have seen. Why should she hate Westeros and why should westeros people, especially the populace of king's landing, hate her? There has been no interaction between her and the common people of Westeros. It's not the common people who have killed her dragon and her friend, it's the ironborn at Cersei's order and Cersei's Zombie at her order.*mad queen theory*
#@Lyricist I commend your passionate defense of shit writing
Personally think Arya, Hound, Cersei, Jamie, Jon were all handled decently. But the razing of KL is and always will be completely daft.
As I've said before, this is the same Dany that cried and locked up her children when they killed a farmers child. The same Dany that always tried to be just and punish the wicked. She also offered mercy to those who would join her cause. She spoke about how she isn't here to burn down cities. She's really never once harmed someone who you could say is innocent, (maybe like one bloke?). She's only ever punished those who committed atrocities. So yeah, as much as you are trying... it is shit writing and she hasn't given any indication she could ever do that. Like I said, having her burn down the red keep killing Cersei and those civilians Cersei surrounded herself being collateral damage with would have been somewhat believable, but just going around killing most the population... come on now. Baffles me how people are defending it.
It's quite clear to be that with only 6 episodes left they had to do something dramatic, so now they've set it up for Dany to be killed. They couldn't have done that if she just burned a few people through collateral damage, they needed to make her go full Tyrant. So yeah, sow a few seeds that her rule might be undermined by Jons claim, kill her best friend for a bit of grief mixed in and hey presto, our Dragon Queen can now roast a bunch of kids cause surely that's enough reason too... right! Nevermind that it goes against everything she's been about for 7 seasons... she's the daughter of the mad King! She's grieving! She's angry! Nevermind that she's already won the war for christ sake
Hilarious how D&D really just can't write for shit. What the feck does he mean "Make this personal". This is the writing you are defending...
I thought that was great - it was a curve ball and much more realistic a death than your typical evil vs good fight that would have been entirely generic.One thing I have to give to Martin ( I assume the big decisions are still all his) is how wrong people guess for the most part what the outcomes will be. Cersei perishing in the rubble was a distant thought to favorites "she will be killed by Jamie, Arya, Tyrion etc"
I would have loved if Arya faced her up ,gave her a mean and just before proceeding giving a speech, a huge rock falls on Cersei Tbh, considering the destruction of the Red Keep, it makes sense to have some characters die in itI thought that was great - it was a curve ball and much more realistic a death than your typical evil vs good fight that would have been entirely generic.

The freefolk sub is so much better than the GoT sub.
For it's time maybe but looking back now (due to other shows getting inspiration from it) dont think it's that good of a watch nowadays. Sopranos is an ever green classic imo.One thing's for sure after this season, the Wire still remains untouched as the GOAT.
Iris West on the Flash has had better character development than DanyAs for Dany burning a city, fanboys will justify with the same thing they use to justify plot holes throughout this show and others : "character development "
I can hardly imagine George isn't meaning to have her do that as well though? The execution was a bit cack, but I doubt they came up with the general direction of the ending.@Lyricist I commend your passionate defense of shit writing

Surely Jon could just kill her 1v1?Any chance that Bran knows that the only way Dany and her Dragon can be defeated is with an equal foe?
The last night king was a vain psychopath before being created by the children of the forest.
Maybe a new night kink must be created using Jon Snow so he is inherently good this time.
This is funny.
She dropped from the sky (obscured by good and sunlight from what I remember) and got into close quarters fighting mate. She got the drop on them this time rather than the reverse last time (where the dragons had her at range and she had to close the distance without getting hit).Explain the logic behind euron and Jamie's fight
Or the iron fleet not having the fecking scorpions ready like seriously you guys have one job.
I highly doubt any of those decisions are his. Getting killed by rubble is a far cry away from the masterfully crafted deaths of epic characters such as Ned, Robb, Tywin, Joffrey and Oberyn.One thing I have to give to Martin ( I assume the big decisions are still all his) is how wrong people guess for the most part what the outcomes will be. Cersei perishing in the rubble was a distant thought to favorites "she will be killed by Jamie, Arya, Tyrion etc"
All this recent hyping up of Stannis is hilarious. He had the charisma of a turd, constantly made shit decisions, lacked morals and had the sex appeal of a Tory. He was a boring character.Stannis burned people for no other reason than the red woman told him to.
They diid not even have the scorpions loaded, like you are in a war. You are anticipating an attack and you can't have your only weapon loaded? In total, they fired one bolt instead of 30 compared to last episode.She dropped from the sky (obscured by good and sunlight from what I remember) and got into close quarters fighting mate.

They are ballistae not gun turrets, what are they supposed to do up close? In the carnage they make a point of showing her whizzing around in CQ. Honestly, not an issue here....
As for JL he's got one hand and Euron is a prat.... Wasn't expecting stunts, martial arts and acrobatics were you? Underwhelming? Yes maybe.... JLs death was worst.
I guess the point is that she's gone mad? No point looking for reasonable behaviour from a mad person....Especially as there was wildfire stashed all over the city, they could have had Dany burn the red keep and a chain of wildfire go off wrecking the city.
I thought that scene was brilliant. The captain of the Golden Company, all proud and fearless on his beautiful horse, 5 seconds later, gone.This is funny.
Those clowns were made out to be the toughest mercenaries and how they got erased was hilarious
It was a coincidence, I think he was coming back to get Cersei and found Jaime in his wayThey diid not even have the scorpions loaded, like you are in a war.

Euron could easily have escaped but chose to come back to fight JL? It makes no sense.
You saw them loading the Scorpions. If they arev then shown reloading them obviously they've been shooting them. Personally I don't need every shot to be shown.... I'm sure they fired a lot more than 30 shots, in amongst the panic and chaos.They diid not even have the scorpions loaded, like you are in a war.

Its laughable, but some people say its good TV so they turn a blind eye to the utter trash plot and script now. All the characters have became unlikebale and devoid of personality since the books ended. Its clearly obvious that Martin simply gave a very sparce vision of what was going to happen and D&D did bugger all writing round it and just hit on his key points.They diid not even have the scorpions loaded, like you are in a war.

No she’s always been my favourite character.Did anyone else think Arya got too much screen time? I'm sick of the sight of her, she's not even that interesting.

Read an article the other day about babies being named Daenerys or Khaleesi since the show started.
Kinda funny now.
He has been shown to be selfish, why would be come back to save Cersei?It was a coincidence, I think he was coming back to get Cersei and found Jaime in his way
Yes, why would you not have the scorpions loaded already when fighting a dragon? The scorpions went from being a big enough threat that missandei died to not even scratching drogon.You saw them loading the Scorpions. If they arev then shown reloading them obviously they've been shooting them. Personally I don't need every shot to be shown.... I'm sure they fired a lot more than 30 shots, in amongst the panic and chaos.
Euron came back to fight JL? He knew JL was going to be there? Or he was going back to Cercei and bumped into JL? Looked like the latter to me...
Y'all getting carried away here....
