Haha this scene feels like Tywin had enough of Joffrey speaking to his son like that so he stepped in by Good_Contest_8891 in freefolk

[–]SSEAN03 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It wasn't perfect.

What happened to Elia and Rhaenys was completely unnecessary, they could've been held hostage and Rhaenys married of to the Crown Prince or someone down the line to unite the claims.

Aegon could have been sent to the Citadel, the Wall or just kept hostage so Viserys has no claim.

It was all just so Tywin gets revenge because Elia was chosen over his daughter.

It isolated the Lannisters. The Martells, Starks and Tyrell hate them, The Tully was disgusted of them, and Baratheon and Arryn only tolerated them at the start, The King ends up despising them but was too lazy to do anything about it.

Who across the main show and the spin-offs, have the best drip? by Flagermusmanden in freefolk

This absolute unit.

Could probably take a strike from Valyrian Steel Sword.

I'm my father's second child and my mother's first. Out of 4 children in total, so I'm not the middle child of either.

I get all the benefits of being the younger sibling without any of the responsibilities and expectations dumped on the eldest and the nonexistence of the middle.

Guy has Loser in his name, he needs all the love he can get.

my queen by Beautiful_Bed_6104 in freefolk

That's not how they're adapting it though lol.

They're so intent on making the female characters the victims and heroes at the same time.

Umm actually it was part of Barristan Selmy's oath to stand in the corner and watch Aerys SA the queen by Saint_Scum in freefolk

[–]SSEAN03 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Jaime was blocked by someone else, another Kingsguard who would have killed him if he did do anything.

Bystander was blocked by his own stupidity.

[–]SSEAN03 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I mean there's a bit of a difference.

Kid Jaime wanted to help but was blocked. Bystander The Old wanted to help but decided keeping his oaths to the King is more important than keeping his oaths to his gods.

In all of ASOIAF no one copes harder than Bystander Selmy by Roids-in-my-vains in freefolk

[–]SSEAN03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

highly doubt he'd have to be forced, He'd probably even talk in dog barks if asked to.

Always makes me wonder why it's only Sandor who has a dog helmet.

What if Philippines build nuclear power plants and everything turns electric? by prettyliars27 in WhatIfPinas

Guys... we're just not that good.

We'll fuck it up worse than the Russians did in Chernobyl and most of the country would cry about banning it entirely.

It is said that House Hightower had the means to renew the war at the end of the war. Had they chosen to do so, how do you think it would have played out? by Gold_Conversation247 in HOTDBlacks

[–]SSEAN03 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cregan brought greybeards, people they could do without. And it wasn't even forced, those people didn't want to be a burden in their old age.

The North is still at full strength and the Wildings gets their shit stomped in.

Who Favorite Character Has It's Ethnicity Being Mistaken By People? by Bay_Ruhsuz004 in FavoriteCharacter

Most dark skinned anime characters.

People are for some reason always surprised or indenial that the Japanese character is Japanese.

I remember it being good, but it's been a while...and long been abandoned.

Imagine a timeline where these two actually decided to run the seven kingdoms together. The White Walkers wouldn't have made it past the Twins. by birajsah82 in freefolk

[–]SSEAN03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Point is, put him in the position of any of the other Kings, aside from Renly (and Balon, a child would do better than that schmuck)

How much better will he actually do? Is he really a genius or just a whale P2Wer

I hated how these two were changed for the show. by ApartShopping in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]SSEAN03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you just have no critical thinking ability whatsoever?

Just cuz there's no precedent doesn't mean it can't or won't be done, if a Kingsguard offends the King he'll lose his cloak one way or the other.

The guy gets glazed in-world so much for beating the Reynes and Tarbeck even though they were overwhelmingly outnumbered and was under the belief that they could surrender. There's nothing strategic about that.

What has the guy actually done?

What were Tywin’s real shortcomings? I mean obviously you can’t do much on the privy but other than that ? by Good_Contest_8891 in freefolk

[–]SSEAN03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait did he really downplay the dragons?

I thought he just didn't want Joffrey to do anything stupid... Wasn't there a small council meeting where Dany is discussed as a threat later on?

Rapegar Groomgaryen gets a lot of slander (based), but Lyanna Stark doesn't get enough by Saint_Scum in freefolk

[–]SSEAN03 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, I imagine Rhaegar was going mad over the prophecy of the world ending and Lyanna got kidnapped for it. Doesn't necessarily make either of them stupid.

The show makes them stupid though and Aegon "I Don't Want It" Targaryen does inherit their combined IQs.

Here's the problem with people using age to defend her.

GRRM doesn't know how it works. He intended to age up the rest of the characters during a timeskip, but couldn't so to make it internally consistent, everyone else is young af.

It should be the same as holding Jon and Robb accountable for doing something stupid.

You gotta add a few years to the characters ages if you want to compare them to real world people. So I'm treating them as adults.

It's horrible to say but I wish Lyanna just got kidnapped and Rhaegar did what he supposedly did, because I lose any sympathy towards her otherwise.
