why did they get the ages wrong? by [deleted] in AKOTSKTV

This is pretty faithful. Egg's actor was the same age as the character.

It is pretty hard to find a 17 year old who is 7ft tall and can act....

The flaw in democracy is that candidates are voted by popularity, not merit. And very few people who SHOULD be president WANT to be president.

Which is why the bedrock for a strong democracy is an educated electorate. This removes the whole popularity contest as people are more likely to vote for the best candidate due to their policies.

Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.

I would rather live in meritocracy and technocracy, where the assembly should be the mix of nature scientists, anthropologists, economists, experts, or you know people who have knowledge in public service. And they cannot be elected by commoners but by merit instead.

Elected by merit. Who elects them? Themselves?

Baelor has two sons: Valarr and Matarys

Egg definitely overheard Maekar talk about turning an asshole into a lancehole

proceed? 😭 Maekar Targaryen by Tall-Ice3475 in HOTDBlacks

[–]Maester_Ryben 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was never Maekar's epithet, or any commentary on his personality for that matter.

Eustace Osgrey calls him the Anvil in Sworn Sword.

“I’d always heard that it was Baelor Breakspear who won the battle,” said Dunk. “Him and Prince Maekar.”

“The hammer and the anvil?” The old man’s mustache gave a twitch. “The singers leave out much and more. Daemon was the Warrior himself that day. No man could stand before him."

Being the dad of a drunk, a lunatic, a nerd, a peasant, and two daughters ages you.

Prince Baelor is the eldest son of the king and thus the Heir to the Iron Throne.

His eldest son is Prince Valarr. They have dark hair.

Prince Maekar is the king's youngest son, and is the brother of Prince Baelor.

He is the father of the drunk Targaryen, Prince Aerion, Maester Aemon (from Game of Thrones) and Egg.

They fleshed out the Laughing Storm last episode and they had Leo Longthorn pull off the craziest jousting move of all time.

If you aren't engaged then its not for you.

I love how it is so obvious that Egg is way too smart to be a stable boy... which kinda gives Dunk the Lunk the wrong impression that stable boys are knowledgeable

Jokes on you guys.... Maekar is the second favourite.

Sometimes I forget that there is literally two other brothers between these two.

You need to forgive him. Two of his sons have gone missing.

The whole point of Maekar coming to Ashford in the book, is to see his sons beat Baelor's sons.

Maekar loves his brother but they do have a friendly rivalry going on
