You can tell who doesn't read the books in here because they're the losers who actually think show urine is cool or good in any way. He's a pervy redneck uncle who creeps the family out every thanksgiving by hitting on the nieces.

Seriously book Euron is sooo much cooler, he has a torture boat, Valyrian steel armor, and just exudes evil in an intimidating way the show version could never pull off.

For real though whoever is behind the general advice of "don't do what Aegon Targaryen did and just go to King's Landing with your dragons and burn the gently caress out of anyone who won't bend the knee" is a moron.

Why even go to Dragonstone?

There's no army at KL expecting anything to happen and if you just roll up with an invasion fleet and dragons what exactly are they going to do?

Euron didn't get stabbed. It was some other random soldier. The dark shaky-rear end camera work makes it hard to see though.

He got whipped like twice

This was only addressed in the second episode of season 7 during the war counsel meeting at Dragonstone with essentially every important house not Lannister present and was a key scene in setting up the rest of the season but I can see how you missed it.

Well but you have to read between the lines with these books.

Exhibit A: The skull sent to Dorne was notably huge - they didn't send them a fake

Exhibit B: Bran's vision - "There were shadows all around them. One shadow was dark as ash, with the terrible face of a hound. Another was armored like the sun, golden and beautiful. Over them both loomed a giant in armor made of stone, but when he opened his visor, there was nothing inside but darkness and thick black blood."

Circumstantial I guess but in the books you can't see inside his helmet, a few different characters mention it iirc.

Yeah maybe there's some skin puppet thing going on in there or it's someone else's head but his head is definitely removed from his body and in Dorne.

I'm sure it's costumed as a character arc, but you're right it's completely undeserved of her. Up to the end of the books, Cersei has been completely humiliated in a way that makes you think that her unbridled rage might be quieted in a way that she might actually become effective in the future. But in the show, she doesn't change at all, and everything's coming up roses for her.

Plus yeah, you can thank Euron, Jaime, and Randyll Tarly for the military wins; but still..

Dragonstone is a real dumb place to base operations for an invasion since it's a loving island. Land in Dorne, consolidate with Highgarden, quickly win over the leaderless Stormlands.

Mobster baddie in season 3 of Boardwalk Empire. Easily defeated everyone throughout the season but was ultimately defeated and forgotten by the last episode of the season never to be mentioned again.

Fun character with a good actor, but was wearing plot armor so think he never felt like an actual threat. He was just a walking talking plot device.

ill bet qyburn glued some random rear end in a top hat's brain into the helmet

In the book they don't acknowledge him as the Mountain either. He's just an unknown knight who mysteriously showed up to be Cersei's bodyguard.

Torture boat and walking around covered in armor sounds pretty lame tbh. That sounds like someone tried to combine Ramsay with the mountain and put him on a boat. (Justifiably) Cocky, violent and slightly crazy but not stupid Euron is much better than just another ~pure evil~ comic book-esque character.

As for the pervy thing, it's not that "out there" considering the other characters. At least he doesn't gently caress his sister like Jaime, who nobody seems to complain about.

Book Euron diddled his brother's newly wed wife and then hosed off to Essos to get high on milk of the poppy and capture black mages to learn their secrets. The sudden storm before raiding fleet the snakes were traveling on was a hint of that. Book Euron was a cocky, hedonistic villain also but just a bit more subtle in his ways

quote:

Euron is a wildly unpredictable man, known for his delight in playing vicious mind games and waging psychological warfare on anyone around him. He is hated by his brothers for this reason. A skilled warrior and manipulator, Euron is cunning, shrewd and ruthless.

I'm not saying that show Euron isn't too far from the description but there are ways to turn promising character into poo poo by poo poo writing
