@Atlas Rise victarion is dumber than the door hodor is holding.

He is so dark and a highly anticipated character in the books. He has barely made an entrance in the book but what you do know you want to read... or see but unfortunately that didnt happen.

He was easily the most intriguing character in the books and Victorian was pretty much conan on a boat.

And he barely even makes an appearance! Yet he makes your skin crawl and all the facts we know about him plus all the stuff we don't... Dude is frightening and of course, put to comical proportions in the show, as so many other characters and plots.

If it wasnt for his speech to Balon in his introduction (which is straight from book Euron's words to Damphair), I'd think they mistook Euron Greyjoy and Aurane Waters (and still missed the point with him in a big way, but not nearly as bad as with Euron). Aurane is also a pirate king (albeit not til he bails), and at least Aurane did suck up to and play the part of a lickspittle for Cersei, even if he was just playing her like a fiddle

@@BroadwayRonMexico yeah maybe Dumb & Dumber misread but they're too dumb to make that mistake

Urine Greyjoy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Show Euron is no where near as worse than show ramsay, and book ramsay has done way worse than show Ramsay.

I think they've left many breadcrumbs that Show Euron really is Forsaken Euron...and I think GRRM broke down Euron's Alpha Status to D&D long before he publicly read the Forsaken chapter.

All he's done that's beyond what's par for the course for an Ironborn warrior at war is to kill his brother. If they really wanted to make him seem evil he shouldn't have killed Martells, that's only likely to make him seem like the good guy! Ramsey evinced more evil in one day that this Euron could in a year!

If you believed that your a dumbass NO ONE BEATS RAMSAY "I WIN"

After things Ramsay had done in the show, imagine someone being worse than him. What would he really have to do? Like, really, imagine worse things than what Ramsay did. At what point would it become straight up distasteful? Sexual abuse was already overused as hell in the series. We get it, you're not afraid to be controversial. Hours of screentime were sacrificed to show explicit physical and mental torture done on Theon, other hours either showing or discussing rape... I'd like to see more of an actual game of thrones which is why this version of Euron does just fine. He's way more interesting than Ramsay, that's for sure, and the best parts of the show in my view have had to do with characters like the Spider, Littlefinger, Tywin, Olenna, characters which aim at obtaining their goals through complex, impressive means and play mind games on each other. Or captivating personalities such as the Hound or Jaime and their development. Fuck the entire chase after the villain which is going to be more horrible, more sadistic, more edgy than anyone else ever. Enough time was wasted for the sake of cheap shock, nobody is going to flinch over it anymore because 1) it's fiction, 2) fandom became insensitive to it due to it's abundance in the show.

They also make it sounds like he's kind of rambling and that it might not even be true.

@@Ateka9 He has not gone to Valyria. His reaction when Rodrik Harlaw questions his claim says it all.

@@crazytaxi123 But what about his Valyrian armour? I take that as pretty solid evidence he really has been to Valyria.

@@CharlesFreck He probably got the armor anywhere else in the world. Nobody has gone to Valyria and survived because the Doom has conquered it. Septan Barth describes the creatures that exist there now, and sailors say the sea near it is boiling. Bringing back Valyrian steel doesn't mean you've been to Valyria, it just means you found the steel somewhere. And, on top of that, forge masters in Westeros have found a way to remake the steel, so it's not out of question for other smiths around the world to discover how to create it. My guess is, Euron traveled to the Shadowlands. He's seen crazy shit, just not the crazy shit that he wants everyone to believe he's seen.

crazytaxi123 he’s a fictional character mate. Calm down

So they actually commanded him to play this version of Euron while he wanted to take him in a more canonical direction? Damn that's shit. Show Euron is a terrible character, hated him almost immediately, felt like there was some intent to use him as comic relief. And that fight with Jaime? Looking into the camera and saying, "I'm the man who killed Jaime Lannister." Yuck, terrible, just terrible.

@@oldmanolson6081 yea You can see in the first scene he appears in the show euron talks about being the drownd god himself

Underrated

lmaoooooo

For all the talks of Euron lacking his eldritch qualities in the show, he definitely must have employed some kind of black magic, if he was able to contact Emperor Palpatine in a galaxy far far way and learn how to spontaneously create his own fleet of overpowered warships.

Should have improvised and outright refuse the crappy dialogue if he really 'hated' it

@@darkseidistheboss5781 Pilou isn't a reknowned actor (at least outside of Denmark) and would've just been fired for another actor, along with probably not getting another job any time soon.

Darkseid is the boss no actor can do that. You don’t want to develop a reputation of being difficult to direct because you’ll never get work again. An actor’s jobs is to act out a script not write one. The only exception is improv but even that is at the directors discretion.

respect jack sparrow

That must have been soul crushing lol. I stopped watching way before the last season, I was shutting off my brain for the great visuals but seeing the Euron character being butchered was unbearable to watch

Having just finished reading “A Feast For Crows”, I tried to think of how D&D could have at least done something with the Dragonbinder, even without changing the show’s storyline too much. This below was just a thought... For instance, Euron Greyjoy could have one of his pirates blow the horn to intimidate all of Asha/Yara and Theon’s supporters, before getting cooked alive from the inside. I do not know if these two kinds of sound-effects could blend together well. But the description of the horn’s otherworldly sound in the book made me think of the Haradrim’s horn in “The Return of the King“ and the assimilated Bennings’ howl in John Carpenter’s “The Thing“. After showing it off, Euron can further use the horn as a tool to persuade the Ironborn to meet with Daenerys, since it could allegedly summon and bend dragons to one’s will. In the equivalent to Season 8 Episode 4, Daenerys and her fleet could get into an actual skirmish with Euron’s fleet, rather than “kind of” forgetting about them. Euron orders his men to test out the Dragonbinder, once Daenerys is at her most vulnerable point. Both Drogon and Rhaegal seem to be disoriented and nearly hypnotized by the horn, allowing Euron to try skin-changing into Rhaegal. Euron appears to briefly gain control over Rhaegal, while Dany can do nothing about it, until the henchman blowing the horn is finally burnt from within. In that moment, Rhaegal is able to break free from Euron’s “warging” and fight back against the Iron Fleet, but he is now surrounded by ships and Euron gives the order to loose the scorpions. After Rhaegal gets skewered through the eye with one of the ballista bolts, though, he crashes onto the ship carrying the Dragonbinder. The horn gets thrown into the sea and washes ashore later. Afterwards, Daenerys finds the Dragonbinder and examines it, wondering if “the unburnt” can wield the true power residing in the horn. Daenerys discovers that she can blow the horn and survive, unlike Euron’s henchmen. During the penultimate episode, one of Daenerys’ new tactics is to blow the horn herself, while flying over King’s Landing and burning Cersei’s forces. With the horn’s sound blasting through the battlefield, even the Lannister soldiers manning the giant scorpions start to lose their composure, explaining why they suddenly have a hard time shooting Drogon. Maybe Drogon himself could also be visibly emboldened, when a “true dragon” like Daenerys wields it in battle. Or this could simply be saved until the final episode, when she is delivering her speech and could blow it in front of her followers, to demonstrate her perceived divinity.

Now that u mention it the Bam Margera comparison is spot on

tyler durden is already an annoying fuckboy so I'd say your expectations were half right

I would have said for Euron Expectations: Blackbeard meets Hannibal Lector meets Aleister Crowley. Incidentally, Mads Mikkelsen would have been perfect for the role.

Lmaoo

Bro fuckn perfect.

That's what I thought about GOT, the writing for the show is pretty naff but the actors do well with what they have

@@oli1764 Is it really that the writing is so bad, or that they're trying to cram so much material into a limited number of seasons? I think having so many kids playing crucial roles really gave HBO a deadline as far as how long they could milk this cow.

@@trza49er no, I definitely think the writing is atrocious and has been for several seasons.

nobodys blaming him. Its the awful writing.

The actor could not play Euron never ever. Instead he could have been a good Aeron Greyjoy. There is better actors who could play Euron, no dissrespect on actor but he doesn't fit for Euron.

with aimbot

Show Euron: LOOK AT MAH BALLS

No one: Show Euron:"A FINGER IN DA BUM!?"

Less cgi needed :P

mainstream plebs don't like too much fantasy in their fantasy. A little bit, like marvel superhero movies, but not enough to make them think.

@Vok250 GRRM doesn’t actually put too much fantasy into his fantasy either though (in comparison to all the other fantasy genres out there filled with elves, goblins, wizards, and such). What makes Euron so special in their reality is that he is a rare exception! Euron is supposed to be someone that is _way_ out of their typical world; someone with ambitions far beyond the mundane politics and wars of their world. It’s why even a hardened viking-warrior such as his brother, Victarion, is so extremely weary of Euron. Despite Victarion being described as physically bigger and stronger than his brothers, he fears to face Euron alone and is haunted by the mere thought of Euron everywhere he goes. Victarion would rather storm through the battlements of a castle or raid a fleet of enemy ships, but he dares not to openly challenge Euron (yet). It’s because he knows that Euron is into some seriously dark shit of the occult and is a highly unnatural individual in their lives as viking sea-raiders.

LOTR says otherwise.

@@MrJH101 i disagree. There is plenty of magic in the GoT books. But it's in Essos, and the story focus on Westeros. The magical elements and people in the story? The red priestesses, the faceless men, dragons, etc, sail from Essos. Idk about the white walkers though.

I agree. And to think that he just walked out of a Calvin Klein runway show.

NK also...

I think similar. Really like Pilou Asbaek but the character is kinda goofy in the series. But there is a huge "But". Euron was introduced at the right time when many characters took a turn to the worse when it comes to their behavior. The series needed an asshole, a more simple character who simply is a dick. In the new season, so far, he don't had much screentime and I think he will be one of the lesser boss fights during the last episodes.

Yeah he can get this look on his face that's like the joker. He's crazy, he knows it, and he loves it.

I hate the character. he has no depth. and the actor makes him come across as an annoying bastard.

@@Charlie_Nice If you think that the actors are the problem I doubt that we are watching the same show. It's hard to deal with shit writing.

@@redblueproductions9739 wouldnt mind it

Penelope because in the show they replaced the horns. In the show the NK takes a dead dragon and destroy the Wall with his fire. In the books it’s clear that Euron will take one of the dragon with the horn while the other horn will be used to destroy the Wall and WW won’t have dragons on their side.

And in doing so spoiled that the dragon horn will kill Rhaegal.

Rheagel and Ghost needed to go so they save money on CGI.

a WASTED opportunity. their kingsmoot scene made me rage.

asari shepard Yep he went from being this magic menacing guy to “arr matey ima feck the queen with mah giant dong”

I know right?

I assume it has to do with Beric Dondarrion still being on the show. Can't be confusing the casual audience with two prominent characters with eye patches.

@Carnivorus Hahahahhaha

@@ethanjory3130 After all the casual audience can't tell the difference between Asha Greyjoy and Osha the Wildling. Or Cat Of The Canals and Catelyn Stark

@@ZakJordan98 The casual audience are pathetically stupid, but the show caters to them. I'll stick with the books until a faithful adaptation comes out some day - maybe an anime.

Best line in the entire show. Mostly because he was wrong.

He's not even insane in books he comes off as insane in the show though.

@@lorkhan8565 the books are that unpredictable that the most bloodthirsty character could actually be the prophesied savior of the world.

He's from Denmark like the current actor

Euron in the books has dark hair dark beard and pale skin. Also he wears patch on one eye. And his lips are pale blue due to he drinks some drink called shade of the evening. In the show Euron is dissapointment.

Come on guys, Mads is great but he's not the only bad-ass, dark vibe looking guy.

I mention Mads for a few reasons. One, of course is that he is a phenomenal actor, he has the ability to be ruthless and charming and make it believable. Two, he looks the part. He has darker hair. He has a good voice and also his age is way more fitting. Euron in the show looks like a younger / same age as Theon when he supposed to be only a little younger then Balon. Mads looks also bad ass with a eyepatch, check out Polar on netflix. he plays an assassin. Cool flick. Mads would be superior over Pilou. Of course there are many great actors out there that would fit just as well. I just think Mikkelsen would of done that part justice.

@@JJKnapich I understand. I'm just saying so would alot of other actors. I don't wish anything mad for Mikelsen but it's bad to shove him everywhere where it's fitting. He would lost his charm. For the last like 1 year I'm seeing him "recommended" instead of every poorly written/acted role of a character that his personality would fit. You're doing him a great justice writing about him like that, maybe you should write him a fan mail or something. I'm sure he'd appreciate if he'd get to it ;)

N?

@Fabian Kirchgessner+5 points for creative joke.

THIS Dude is great, I like what he does with those mad eyes, and how you can almost see the aura of arrogance and megalomania around him

His Instagram is hilarious. He throws shade at the show.

Hey man, cut the show a break. Eye patches cost upwards of $6; there's only so much you can fit into a show budget.

They probably didn’t do it because Beric Dondarrion has an eye patch on the show and they didn’t want to confuse the viewers.

Why didn't they make him wear a violet contact lens and put some eyeshade under those eyes and some blue lipstick voila better than that hobo beard and pirate patch.

*ser

@@hindsightpov4218 because D&D think the viewers are as dumb as them.

Me too. I almost wish the first seasons weren't as great as they were, because it became such fucking disappointment starting from season 5.

i just stoped watching it in general, no point in getting hyped up for something thats just gonna be disapointing, especialy since they basicaly screamed that they went from character driven to plot driven story for the last season wich is so far off from grrms style it's insulting

That's a good approach

No one cares about what you do to cope with fantasy problems.

"Me too. I almost wish the first seasons weren't as great as they were, because it became such fucking disappointment starting from season 5." Parts of s5 aren't too bad, but this is where they began to run ahead of the books. The show runners had the choice of forging ahead without any GRRM source material, or waiting for him to finish enough of his story that the two could keep pace. If they'd taken the latter option, we'd have probably ended up with 45 year old actor playing a 15 year old Bran or some such. Which is to say, GRRM bears much of the blame for how the show went downhill.

Do you know what he looks like in the books

@@soy.sauce.latte. yeah he has blue hair and beard.

I didn't like the first Daario. He looked like he tried out for a role in Battlestar Galactica but got turned down. Just my opinion. He may well have been closer to the book version. I don't know.

Same level as white walkers is a bit of an exaggeration but he is a scary powerful character in the books

@@petesthename1588 He might be if the implications about lovecraftian eldritch horrors in the books is expanded upon.

i would like to agree mrjmax but ... we are talking dumb and dumber. so they would fuck it all up even more.

This show could of done a supernatural and run 20 seasons.

he dead

You know what, this is what they've been doing for so long. They even glued Stannis and Jon, made Stannis redundant and just a vicious man who can even kill his own blood. Which is the very thing Stannis is not. They gave most of the stuff he did at the wall to Jon. And excluded things Jon did from the story

Let's not even call him "Show-Euron." We should just call him Urine Greyjoy, because he pisses on the Greyjoy plot with everything he does.

And they gave him Victarions stupidity

I think even more that Jon is merged with Young Griff (Aegon Targaryen IV). Book Jon is most likely the son of Ned and Ashara Dayne. Ned returns the sword Dawn to Dorne, but returns to Winterfell with a child. Ned was known to be smitten with her at the tourney at Harrenhall (before marrying Catelyn). Same tourney where Rheagar declares Ned’s sister the queen of love&beauty, and you know the rest. My two cents.

@@gregbrown3082 you can be pretty sure that in the books jon is also the son of Rhaegar and Lyanna. The show wouldn't change such a huge plot point, also to get the show the writers had to guess right about his parents and they did, so you can be really sure abour Jons parents. Its more likely book aegon is merged with Cersei in the show.

Cthulhu-worshipping Vikings at that.

To be fair, I didn't find the Dorne and Greyjoy plot that captivating in the books either. Too many new characters when I just wanted to know what happened to the ones I cared for. Didn't really help that most of the interesting characters weren't in a whole book.

a achmed I hear that from book readers as well. But it's hard to Guage what's the majority opinion. Some didn't like the book stories either, but the ones who did appears to be more vocal.

I wish they'd just given the show to someone actually willing to finish it.

My problem with that is they say this stuff like this where they don't have the time. Then there are scenes like (this one just stands out the most but there are others) with Tyrion, Missandei and Grey Worm actually talking about how they have nothing to talk about. Don't add fluff scenes that bring nothing to the show and characters and then claim there is not enough time to develop the characters.

He's so fucking Dick Van Dyke though lol, it's cringey "Cor ber-limey g'uvnor kerween suursey, up the apples and stairs avabanana"

illiterate thug to be fair, he’s Danish and he’s acting in his second language. Not bad.

In the feminist anti white circus called the Media, male characters cannot be strong intelligent and powerful. It's against the rules. Even the show's supposed Hero "Jon", who doesn't really do anything, has a massive inferiority complex of a hard on the whole time. Bc if you're powerful and good, you better have an inferiority complex. And to be a good boy he shouldn't try to claim his actual right to the throne. Bc as a male, you're only noble if you don't care about such things. Meanwhile the megalomaniac wannabe queen can spend 8 seasons obsessing over it and she's worshiped like a goddess. Hollywood is controlled propaganda BS!

@Niranjan Rajesh Meh. They definitely could have done a lot better with Arya, especially since they have a great actress playing her. But I personally don't think the failure of Arya is on the same scale as Euron and Dorne.

@Niranjan Rajesh I wholeheartedly disagree that Dorne and Euron are not pivotal or important plot points.

It is not a well known fact that Euron can read minds. In one of the books dying Lord Tully is saying that he feels as if there were crabs in his stomach. Later at some point Euron describes to Victarion this very specific feeling and says he can read them somehow

Seen the Forsaken chapter? I think they've probably cut a chunk of the magic and mystery twice as big as the undying out.

They completely butched the HOU on the show, I will never forgive D&D for this.

to be fair, asoiaf contains a lot of dream sequences and those are hard to pull off without spoiling the entire thing,, since in his books ggrm can be as vague as he likes with the descriptions, but cutting it out entirely was just a stupid decision. in my opinion they should have the masked lady make a fortune telling for dany or some such where she can be just as vague as the books^^

MoostyPlaysStuff They didn't even give him his name

MoostyPlaysStuff who is that?

MoostyPlaysStuff Yeah but Lem Lemoncloak isn't a major character. There's been plenty main characters who got obliterated by the show. Look at every character in Dorn. Oberyn Martell was nice but it fell off a cliff from there.

Studio 22.8 - Fitness and other Stuff exactly.. He's a brotherhood character who is pretty damn honorable and is partly weary on lady Stoneheart another book only character

Akshay Verma ahh yeah now I remember. The one with the yellow coat lol

When you spend 5 seasons building a story, you don't introduce a badass OP character out of nowhere. That would be terrible writting (like Dorne). To introduce book Euron they would've needed to be working on it since s2-3 and dedicate quite a few episodes

Ramza Beoulves Why would book Euron be OP? In the show the good buys have Bran and dragons. It's ok to introduce a mediocre character out of nowhere but not a powerful one? I've seen you comment this several times and it's ridiculous.

The actor is confined by the script, though. Sadly.

You just wrote exactly what I was thinking!

The actor is a great actor. Its the shows writing of the character thats the problem.

The actor has some charisma but is totally wrong for the character. The issues here are not confined to the script.

@@robertthompson176 I think he was cast more for the fact that he physically resembles and looks related to Alfie Allen and the Yara actor than anything else. That said the actor started to do a good job with the character, he just is poorly written compared to book Euron.

that was the point when they simplified everything and only re-used their characters instead of introducing new ones. Really makes the books that much better again in my opinion

The dialogue, the scenes, interactions between characters, in world logic (the 1000 euron ships is a good example), all of it has fell short since season 4

Because book 4 and 5 were fucking shite

Season 5 in a nutshell = totally out of sync dialogue compared to any other season, cue music , panoramic shot, cue dragons. Did you know we have dragons in this show! Look dragons!

Seasons 1-3 are the best hands down, they are what made me love the show and discover the books. That being said season 6 has the best battle scene I've scene on film (maybe gladiator) and season 7 finally had riding dragons into battle. I've given up on the show as a contrast for the books, still some pretty good scenes sometimes though.

It's a difficult choice! I actually can't choose

There are quite a bunch of thesis about the effects of having too many characters in a show. It's also very unwise to dedicate time to a plotline that GRRM hasn't finished yet.

Ramza Beoulves plus it would cost a lot more and take a lot more time

@@RamzaBeoulves man you keep defending this shit show do you?

Victarion, Arianne and Lady Stoneheart are the biggest show losses ever.

@@heyitsmira17 indeed my man, Victarion's fight in the ship in the fifth book would have been amazing in the series

And they too had nothing to do with the books and were the creation of the same TV writers, who judging by their input, are apparently simple fratboys. I wonder when will people finally realize that those writers are really bad and anything that's good about this show came from Martin.

I realised it when they ran out of books.

@@anngan5045 I haven't read the books (yet) and it's painfully obvious that the show writers ran out of source material in the last season. It's just random dialogue, characters that have no character anymore then .... ooh dragons! A quality show has become mediocre at best now.

@@anngan5045 I may be wrong, by I think there was mention of Oberyn's daughters in the books; they kinda tried to merge them with the guy who cuts Myrcella's ear (don't remember the name).

It's still good but definitely not as good as it was in the beginning.

Forgetting House Martell, are we?

Castlevania is awesome!

True... and they could get beloved cast members to voice the characters. They wouldn't get everybody but just getting someone like Conleth Hill and Sean Bean to voice their roles would be cool af

@@Jack-rk7jc I have a feeling that many of them would be inclined to return as the roles would not be physically demanding, nor would it require them traveling to Belfast (or wherever else they filmed)

Lol bruh thats so weird I said the exact same thing on another video. Im reading the books right now and some of the stuff they describe would be perfect for an animated series they could even use the actors from game of thrones as voice actors

I was JUST thinking about this. Another live action TV adaptation is probably not probably, but animation would be the perfect medium. It allows for unrestricted creativity, so a lot of the fantasy elements would actually be able to be shown.

He know that will but I fear if the Maestars survive his attack they will rewrite and not let anyone know what happened for future generations

Wolfsbane Alphas as for oldtown, we probebly wont see what happens from an outside perspectiv. I think we will see it from a chaotic sam chapter.

Wolfsbane Alphas that wouldn't surprise me, it depends on whether there's anything left of Oldtown or the Maesters by the time Euron's done, if he succeeds in defeating the Redwyne fleet I feel certain that he and the Iron-Born will take the city and no one will be safe.

Jeremiah Kane I honesty hope he does I guess for this situation he’s the good guy

Wolfsbane Alphas I'm not sure Euron could be the good guy in any situation tbh, he'll probably plunder the Citadel and kill all the Maesters including Sam if he can, and destroy anything there that's not of personal value to him, that wouldn't be good.

I think it will, we just have to wait for the books. GoT was and still is way to big all around the world to be forgotten, no to mention it’s a great business

i hope so cause anything animated is always intriguing.

And you don't have to waste valuable time and resources teaching him how to fish either, presumably after you teach him how to speak English, give him a house, send his kids to school, et cetera.

To say nothing about teaching him how not to take a dump under a shower at a swimming pool.

@@SebAnders but them you can't tax him

nonstop trump logic

Based

This is kinda late but stannis was good early on. It was really just that last season where it was clear the showrunners just wanted to get rid of him.

@redmotive stannis? he's still alive in the books. In the books his chapter pretty much ends with theon and yara (asha in the books) in his custody while he's marching to winterfell with his army. Ramsey hasn't had his 20 good men causing half the army to desert moment and I hope to god that doesn't happen haha. Also his wife and daughter don't come with him so he's not fucking burning his daughter at the stake which was the most brutalizing of a character I've witnessed.

@@rams3955 Game of Thrones questions the morality of all its suspected 'heroes,' and I think that scene proved that Stannis wasn't Azor Ahai and that The Lord of Light can't be fully trusted. While it wasn't necessary, it wasn't completely unexpected and it fits in with the themes of the books and show pretty well.

@@Jack-ku3bt yes it does however stannis is all about Duty and how doing one good thing doesn't justify something bad which is why he knighted davos while still taking his fingers for smuggling. Now does that sound like a man who would kill his daughter out of some last ditch effort to be king? That's as believable as Ned murdering an unarmed Joffrey so he could hold the throne for stannis. It was lazy writing because D&D were pretty much forced to take stannis as far as he's gone in the books while clearly not liking him as a character. They also removed victarion and made euron into someone who's just named euron but is nothing like the character Lol. But like literally all they had to do was have his daughter do something he deemed unforgivable (to help him or tricked by the red woman) and then he burns her which causes his troops to lose faith and abandon him.

@redmotive stannis knew that it was bad idea to take his daughter and wife to the battlefield so he left them and melissandre at the wall, he also sent one of his men to hire a company of sellswords to place shireen at the iron throne if he died near winterfell and sent davos to get rickon stark from the isle of skagos to rally more northeners, and he's the one who kicked the ironborn out of the north and rallied some lords to his cause, he's fighting for his daughter and he's willing to die to place her at the iron throne so why the fck would he burn her, he also hates all kind of religions and forbid the burrning of soldiers by the red priests, he told them that he won't lose more soldiers to please their god so they should pray harder instead and that's it, the only time where he burnt ppl is when they cannibalized their fellow soldiers.

Many great animes are made before the manga was finished. They simply stayed true to the writing. If you adhere to a 4-5 episodes per LN and 2 episodes per manga standard, you will ensure that your anime is extremely close to the source. The much bigger problems are animes that do 2 episodes per ln.

I got smart and decided to wait till after next Sunday is over before I start on the first book. Friends told me years back that the books are allot better than the show so I didnt want the books to ruin the show for me.

Read GoT as well because that writer is ACTUALLY intelligent.

exactly!

@@PSNChazwazzer Balon mentions he went mad and cut out their tongues when he's first introduced.

The faith militant they seemed to just think "What would a modern day extremist religious group be like?" and went with that.

you can say that about most books

With good directors...

@Targaryen Dynasty true, maybe because they cant talk! Lol

@Targaryen Dynasty To be fair, you never see much of the other ships crews either.

When he's first introduced, Balon mentions he went mad and cut out all his crew's tongues.

That's what I'm thinking,l would love to see the animated adaptation with all the derails and magic and characters from the books. So many stuff was cut from the show that it honestly feels like got is a thing for itself and has nothing to do with a song of ice and fire

@Pappy Tron let off some steam Euron

Even though Littlefinger is a master manipulator on the books, the best thing Martin did to him (in my opinion) was the subversion! (and I don't mean making him suddenly dumb like the show does) He is constantly making crazy alegations, like the first thing he says when me meet the character on the first book was that he and Catelyn lost their virginity together but that she was forced to marry a Stark. Since we, as readers, have access to Catelyn as a narrator, we know that to be false right as he says it, but it DOES sound like the kind of lie a lecherous and pervy jilted lover would create, so we at once create an idea of what kind of character he is and misjudge his motivations for the first of maaany times.Then we have his betrayal of Ned, him moving his pieces for ever greater power... but then... then we have the moment in the Eyre when Lysa is confessing her love for him, and he is playing the game... until she, offhandedly, confesses that, when he was a kid, delirious with fever, she pretended to be Catelyn and slept with him. That gives him pause, Petyr goes blank for a moment... and procedes to declare undying love for Cat and throw Lysa through the Moondoor. A few chapters later, Sansa comments that after that day he begun to go slowly insane, shattered. One half of him, that Sansa calls "Petyr" is protective, of her, like a father, and very much depressed, the other, which she calls "the Littlefinger" is kind of derranged and sometimes confuses her for her mother, gets drunk, and cries himself to sleep or something... So, hear me out: that was when it hit me, Lysa pretended to be Catelyn, raped little Petyr Baelish and that led him to believe Cat was in love with him. Thus misguided, he challenged her fiancé for a duel, lost, interpreted her pleading to spare his life as a sacrifice she made for love (when she did that because she had no idea why the hell her friend challenged Stark in the first place, she thought he was just being a naïve boy -ironically, she was right but not for the reason whe though). After that, look what we get: - Cat one day appears on LF doors (in the first book). -He professes love for her, she thinks that's just a nostalgic infatuation and refuses him - He responds to that with something to the effect of "well, I know she is too honorable to be unfaithful, that perfect woman of my dreams, I better get her husband out of the picture so she is free to confess herself to me without feeling guilty". -He betrays Ned, "coincidently" making Cat a widow. Now he only has to wait... dang, a war, that complicate things, a good chance to make himself a noble high enough to marry her, though... "I wonder who is holding Harrenhal...". (correct me if I'm wrong, but he never chance to meet Catelyn again after that, does he?) -His machination, unintentionally lead to Cat's death. -He bets all his coins in getting Sansa, because she looks exactly like her mother when "they" fell in love. He tells Sansa his version of the events in saying that he slept with Catelyn and that she never really loved her husband, he is being, as far as he knows, honest, but we have no way to know that. -Lysa confesses that SHE was the one who slept with him. He puts 2 and 2 together. Her lie costs him: -the loss of his place as a ward in Riverun as a kid -his naïvete -the chance of keeping his friendship with Cat after she married, if the duel never happened -the Seven knows what chances of having a healthy relationship with someone if he was not too busy believing that the one he loved was into him, somewhere else, both separated only by her honor and his low social standing. -ultimatelly, Catelyn herself, because Lysa's lie resulted in a snowball that quite cruelly ended with LF actions being the cause of Cat's death. And, at that point, he KNEW he was indirectly guilty of her death and now, knew it was for nothing, that she never even knew he loved her, so all his plans and the war was... moot. A sick joke of destiny, if you ask me. I would say that's enough to make a man push a woman through a door and go a little bonkers. Soooo, Lf is the smartest man in any room he is in, but life had him be fooled only once, and by the least inteligent woman in all of Westeros: Lysa Tully-Arryn. That doesn't make him less of a genius, but makes him more humane in his failing. I'm pretty sure about my interpretation of events, but all of that was just implied in the book. Implying is something Martin does quite wonderfully.

@@edisonmichael6345 oh shit, great theory dude! Admittedly, in the show, it`s nowhere near as subtle as your incredible theory, but I guess I kind of like how his downfall is caused by his underestimating of Sansa and Arya. Though, it wasn`t especially subtle, which does lessen my enjoyment of it.

@@edisonmichael6345 Holy shit. I need to read these books. Thanks for taking the time to write that up, that was really interesting.

Writers made Sansa marry Ramsey because Sophie Turner needed more screen time now that she has become a quite successful actress. So she can boost ratings. If you wanna understand why would Hollywood do something, you have to think like them. Ratings trump everything...

Littlefinger gave Sansa to Boltons so when later she would try to reclaim the North (I assume he planned to have her broken out), the Boltons couldn't call upon Cersei or an Lannister because they had Sansa and didn't kill her or send her to King's Landing.

This calls for another mutiny. Ser Alliser? Fetch me my stabbing knives.

Euron to something there.

Yara clever one!
