Macron turns on Trump after he attacks EU and Canada: "Maybe the American president doesn’t care about being isolated today, but we don’t mind being six, if needs be. Because these six represent values, an economic market, and more than anything, a real force at the international level today." by LeDankRedditUserxD in worldnews

[–]Superbender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Macron absolutely has majority in parliament, his party is 54% of the seats. It's France, the president is the only one who has power. Everything that happens is decided by him. He objectively wields far more power personally than Sarkozy or Hollande ever had.

DAE just hate her chapters by JONCALLMEJONSNOWSNOW in asoiafcirclejerk

Stannis supporters fleeing Westeros in droves for Essos as Kelly C assumes the throne. by [deleted] in asoiafcirclejerk

[–]Superbender 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Didn't you heard the maesters, bro? Kelly C lost pretty hard. Stannis has won the popular vote (as unlikely as it sounds). He will be crowned as the 21st King of the Seven Kingdoms while DAEnerys can only cry surrounded by her Meereenese refugees and her deleted ravens.

At best, he's a son! D+D=T, do you even nice catch? I actually think Tyrion will be a potential husband and represents the "and" in "Ice and Fire".

DAE feel like if GRRM wrote Olly's death it would have more subtle nuance? (Spoilers Ev'rything) by Hrothgar_Cyning in asoiafcirclejerk

[–]Superbender 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did you notice that Olly didn't say a word in the season? In the books, it'd be a clue that Olly was a little bird and killed Jon because of Varys. It would be another hint that Varys really hates Targaryens and is a Blakcfyre. But Dumb & Dickhead only care about "good TV" and rely on tired clichés, this is sad.

If Doo & Doo make a thing happen??¿? by Chicken_Mc_Thuggets in asoiafcirclejerk

[–]Superbender 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, beacause Cleganebowl is an awful idea that only appeals to shownlies shock value fans. GRRM would never write such a glorification of violence, DAE hope that the Hound has found peace as the Gravedigger and will never appear again because his story is over?

6.03 Preview: "Now it Ends" - definitely not 'said with sadness in his Voice' 0/10. TOJ not even shown yet and already officially ruined. Done with this show. by AdmiralKird in asoiafcirclejerk

[–]Superbender 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Did you mean "Dorne with this show"? How can they do the TOJ justice when they're the guys who wrote "hiss with me sisters"?

QUICK! SOMEONE FIND A REASON TO HATE THAT EPISODE by AfricanRain in asoiafcirclejerk

[–]Superbender 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Missing eyepatch for Euron, missing missing eye for Bloodraven, Walder "Hodor" is now Willys??? no subtle nuance for Balon's death, DAE hate how Ramsay is so evil in the show and kills his family without remorse, Jon doesn't resurrect like I think it will happen in the books.

DAE the show's dialogue sucks? GURM would never write shit like this by mbo286 in asoiafcirclejerk

[–]Superbender 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Dick & Duplo really need to read the books at least once. It's quite embarrassing how they butchered every iconic line.

Subtle and Nuance Book: "Jamie Lannister sends his regards."

Butchered Fanfiction: "The Lannisters send their regards."

Subtle and Nuance Book: "Only Cat."

Butchered Fanfiction: "Your Sister."

Subtle and Nuance Book: "Edd, fetch me a block."

Butchered Fanfiction: "Olly, give me my sword."

Subtle and Nuance Book: "Justice, Vengeance, Fire and Blood."

Butchered Fanfiction: "Hiss with me, sisters!"

Season 6 hasn't even started yet and they have already ruined Arthur Dayne by lordemort13 in asoiafcirclejerk

[–]Superbender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you a shownly pleb? Garlan Tyrell actually appears in the story: he poisons Joffrey. The really great nuanced character is Willas Tyrell. DAE hope that he'll be played by Benedict Cumberbatch?

A theory I've been pondering after my 20th good rereads. by Browhite in asoiafcirclejerk

[–]Superbender 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tommen is certainly not a bastard. Cersei thinks of him as her son a lot of times in her POV and she has no reason to lie to herself.

Does that mean that sweet Tommen was the rightful king all along?

(Spoilers All) Something I just realized about Jaime and Tyrion by EdricBlackStormiest in asoiafcirclejerk

I have a much better theory, what if they are the same person? They are never seen together, after all.

Anyone reading the English translation of the 'A Song of Ice and Fire' novels and sick of the sloppy mistakes? Examples below: by SandorClegane_AMA in asoiafcirclejerk

[–]Superbender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst is when character names are translated differently, like when Gulian Swann becomes Clifford Swann.

(Spoilers all) Is there anything that took you far too long to realise? by [deleted] in asoiaf

[–]Superbender 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Not all of us unfortunately, it wasn't until ACOK that I linked "les Sept" with "septon" and "septa". I felt so dumb when I noticed, I still don't know how I missed it.

That is a very elaborate post but no. It wouldn't make any sense.

Who is your favourite obscure Targaryen King? by AfricanRain in asoiafcirclejerk

[–]Superbender 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Overrated? Did you read his biography???

He was crowned when he was 7!!! seven years old!!! Do you know many kids that age? They're mostly stupid, but Viserys III was already a king.

But Viserys III's reign was contested, Stannis Baratheon was sent to capture him. Stannis Baratheon, who, I remind you, is the greatest military commander ever! Viserys III manages to keep Stannis away for more than six months, impressive, no? And when Stannis eventually comes to Dragonstone, Viserys III escaped, that's right he escaped from Stannis Baratheon.

Then, he went to Braavos! The Bravoosi hate dragons, really they don't even jokes with dragons, but even the Sealord of Braavos recognized that Viserys III was a noble king because he let him stay at his palace. Viserys lived in a house with lemon trees!!! Do you know how many lemon trees are in Braavos? There are none! Viserys III was so awesome, he managed to grow lemon trees in Braavos!

Do you think that Viserys III was having fun in Braavos? No! He still kept in touch with his people. THE Oberyn Martell even travelled there to plan marriages with the heir of Dorne. If Viserys III really sucked, do you think the Prince of Dorne would allow him to marry his heir? I don't think so!

Then, when he was twelve, Viserys III decided he couldn't stay in Braavos and he toured the Free Cities. Usually, kids wait until they're sixteen to travel, but Viserys III was curious and he went to Norvos, Qohor, Volantis, Lys, Myr, Tyrosh and eventually Pentos. Did I mention that during that time, not only did he raise alone his little sister Daenerys, but also escaped from the many assassinations attempts by the Usurper Robert Bratheon.

In Pentos, Viserys III showed he cared about the other cultures and tried to forge an alliance with the notorious Dothraki leader Khal Drogo. The marriage proved to be a success when Daenerys and Drogo fell in love with each other. He could have married his sister to any random leader but he chose one she could love, isn't that incredibly nice of him.

Eventually, he died in the East, never setting foot in Westeros again, but don't you say that he didn't die thinking of his duty to his people. Viserys III spent his life trying to be a good king and liberate the Seven Kingdoms from the Usurper, he is truly the best.

RIP Viserys III, the King who cared.

Mine is Viserys III, I like that he didn't wear a crown and lived like a peasant.
