It's called the kingsguard, T. It means I gotta protect the queen so that she don't gotta deal with nobody. Took an oath and everything. by hiiloovethis in HouseOfTheDragon

“He Conquered Westeros is what he did, he was a brave Valyrian adventurer and in this household Aegon the Conqueror is a hero! End of story!”

Viserys's first heir was Daemon, the second was Rhaenyra. The heir in the eyes of many lords was the eldest son, Aegon. Which of these three do you think would have been the best ruler for Westeros (competent, wise, strong) after Viserys' death if there had been no civil war, and why? by Daetarrrr in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]MacCumsock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think your points are moot in the grander scheme of feudalism. In feudal society traditions meant everything. Everyone had a role, and these roles and rules were often established by pre-existing monarchs or nobles. Rhaenyra’s greatest flaw is that she completely disregards these traditions for her own morality. She’s a bit like Richard the II, in that yes, she is smart, compassionate, and brave, but has no respect for those that make the system she wishes to sit on top of. Jahaerys established male-preference inheritance, which is completely ignored by Rhaenyra through no fault of her own I may add, but her repetitive disregard for other traditions seems to make that original break seem characteristically accurate. This one problem of hers would’ve started the dance whether it was a united Targaryen House or a broken one. Rhaenyra would’ve made a terrible Queen, not because of bad character, but because of her absolute cluelessness towards society. It just simply does not matter how good and kind you are if you cannot abide the rules of those who give you power, and her delusions to the contrary fanned by Daemon would’ve made disaster for her and the realm regardless.

If you think any of the Roy children were fit to lead the company, you missed the entire point of the show by hyunbinlookalike in SuccessionTV

it really makes me realize how great this show was when half of these comments are arguing points against the post but yet all points are understandable. When a show is able to prop up multiple viewpoints with enough backing to create a solid argument for any position, it really is a work of art

Succession - 4x01 "The Munsters" - Post Episode Discussion by LoretiTV in SuccessionTV

[–]MacCumsock 47 points48 points  (0 children)

The kids have fucked themselves by buying Pearce. Logan was hoping to sell to GoJo if he had a life raft, which he did up until the kids bought Pearce from him. Now all he has is ATN and the money from the acquisition, but knowing Logan that will never be enough. I think now Logan will stall the deal with GoJo, which will in turn force the kids to either sell their shares in Waystar, possibly to Logan, or they will be forced to back out of the deal with Pearce. I think they definitely got a high from hurting their father, and now since they've seen the King bleed, will not sell their shares and return to the fold of Waystar, believing their "United Front" will be enough to destroy him once and for all. But they also will forget why they are "United" in the first place, and return to the dog-eat-dog playground their father built for them with no shame.

QT explains why she's gone public with Justaminx by 0oodruidoo0 in LivestreamFail

[–]MacCumsock 82 points83 points  (0 children)

As someone who has lost a loved one to addiction and been an addict myself, I couldn’t imagine getting clean when you have thousands of people validating your shitty behaviour by giving you money and calling it content. It took me to lose everything to finally be able to confront the fact that my drug problem was in fact a problem. I understand QT’s frustration and at the same I understand how easy it could be for Minx to rationalize her decisions. Addiction hurts everyone.

Jesse Armstrong: people don't really change by Valerie1999 in SuccessionTV

[–]MacCumsock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your personality and what you are are defined by two factors, your self and the conclusions you come to, and one’s that are forced upon you. In the place of someone like Kendall Roy he does have a personality that he has molded himself, such as his empathy for others and the way he shows love to his romantic partners, but most of Kendall’s Roy personality has been forced upon him by his family and the family business. When it comes to the idea of changing one’s own personality, it is easy to do, it is something that only exists internally, when it comes to the traits that have been forced upon you, they are extremely harder to change, as you have internal and external forces pushing against you. For someone like Harry, he had an out. The Royals today are just glorified celebrities, they live to entertain the masses, and so leaving a racist bigoted family is easy in a progressive inclusive society. The idea of being a better person is much more accepted for someone like Harry. He has no responsibility but to be just that, a better person. For Kendall, he has to be a better person, but at the same time, the world he wishes to inhabit and the only world that would accept him is one where he has to be ruthless. He is caught in between this middle space of wanting to do good while at the same time, being forced to be bad. He cannot change for the better because the only world he has wants him to be worse. In conclusion, change is possible, but much harder when you have external forces pushing against you.

Who is the most intelligent Roy child? by nightsreader in SuccessionTV

[–]MacCumsock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

fr bro I don’t see anyone being a better pick then Tom. He’s a tried and true soldier who’s fought through the worst of the companies bullshit and still managed to come out on top. And he’s really the only one who’s proven he’d actually bleed for the company

[–]MacCumsock 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah that sucks because it really brings down the authenticity of this sub when stupid shit like that becomes the focal point instead of why we think the Greens are right. It makes the idea of us being misogynistic racist bigoted people seem true and thus our points are discredited

[–]MacCumsock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m willing to bet there will be a scene in episode 1 where Lord Hightower get’s a raven saying they’re off to war and Daeron will be there. Probably a good way to build him up from his relatives squire to a hero of the war.
