The "Tyrion turns heel" spoiler doesn't make sense, because who would he even side with in that scenario? Cersei? Euron? The Walkers?

I'm guessing it's a Gurm notes thing, because the scene where Daenerys brutally executes some prisoners while Tyrion looks on in horror was clearly not a D&D original thought.

Though if we're gonna go down that road, I guess... he's in charge of Dany's forces while she's in poop jail, or he takes over what remains of Cersei's forces after Jaime murder-suicides her?

I have the same issue with Captain Marvel:

The most powerful character to save the day in a decade-long series is some rando that just showed up a month ago.

In the case of GoT: final badguy should have been Littlefinger. After an 8-year buildup of escalating conspiracy poo poo he just gets his throat cut because Bran read the script (the same way the Spaceballs crew watched Spaceballs on VHS).

ehh. Littlefinger was already loving reaching his limit as character by season 5. he is t

The same goes for Stannis - all this buildup only for him to do nothing relevant to the plot and get punked by boring rear end Ramsey because he tried to fight a land war in Russia in the winter or w/e.

yeah. I like stannis and it sucks that he got hosed over bad in the show. like yeah, he is a monster but he was probably the best candidate for king.

Like i can sorta see him turning against dany but that would have taken more time in the show and D&D to have the courage to make the special ed queen suffer consequences for her gently caress ups. at this point i am pretty sure all of the characters i like outside Sam are loving dead as gently caress.

I think there's a decent case to be made for Jamie. His wheeling and dealing in Riverrun showed him to be a pretty shrewd and reasonable negotiator. He's got the looks, the charisma, the temperament, and a surprisingly good head on his shoulders; it's just too bad about the incest, and about everyone hating him for killing a king that everyone hated anyway.

i think it's fine to say that the show sucks but don't try and throw out some wild explanation of why if it basically amounts to "i wish they would have done more with this character cause he's my favorite." that just sounds like you are being salty about why your #1 guy died.

I identify with theon cuz I gently caress everything up all the time and get kicked in the nuts over any over and over and just get worse and dumber and uglier every day but I never die. Also nobody likes me because of how gross and ugly I am and also my bad personality. Oh yeah, and I f-blasted my sister that one time too. Basically he's the coolest

Imagine a man who:

  • Fights and destroys hostile invaders to reclaim his King's seat of power.
  • Captures a false King's son to use as a valuable political bargaining chip and to take vengeance for his own King, whose family and seat of power the son attacked.
  • Helps his father push out invaders and set the realm to rights.
  • Earns a decree of legitimacy from the king for his good service.
  • Marries the daughter of a powerful lord and consummates the marriage.
  • Kills the man who murdered his king and removes from his lineage the granddaughter of the lord who broke guest rights to help murder his king.
  • Fights off and kills a false king who burned his own daughter because it was snowing.
  • Has his wife kidnapped and then fights a host of hostile wildlings led by a undead traitor who is holding his wife hostage.

Pretty good dude as far as I'm concerned.
