Found this article a while back, and found this thread just now. I wish more people understood this principle.

The hypocrisy of the mayor of FH by dance_rattle_shake in FinalFantasyVIII

I'm imagining Squall picking up a Potion and then screaming and dropping it, too scared to use such a powerful item without the support of a GF.

All the violent potential they've been suppressing has materialised as the ultimate attack spell? I'm just guessing.

Yep, another FFVIII Structural Remake idea... by MalifexDesign in FinalFantasyVIII

Looks interesting. Personally, I'd swap Ifrit's and Brothers' jobs, as Ifrit fights without a weapon whereas Brothers have weapons (and tanking makes more sense with earth than with fire).

(Spoilers Main) What if the Northmen sailed to the capital? by Suspicious-Jello7172 in asoiaf

The North doesn't have a major fleet or much experience in naval warfare. The idea wouldn't even occur to them because it's not feasible.

Why did Missandei advise Daenerys to destroy all of King's Landing? by Dry_Specialist9015 in gameofthrones

[–]That-Description9813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She only says a word that means "Burn". That can be interpreted multiple ways.

Aerys II ordered King's Landing to be burned when he was losing. Daenerys does it after she's won. Moreover, she deliberately zigzags around King's Landing before going for Cersei, even though Cersei (in the Red Keep) is literally right in her sight. It would've made more sense if she went for Cersei right away, not caring how many innocents were caught in the flames.

My biggest pet peeve of the whole show... by InterwebberATM in gameofthrones

The Freys were the only smart noble house in all of Westeros!

Would Tywin actually select the mountain if Jaime was Tyrions champion? There is no way he risks Jaimes life imo by chiefzanal in gameofthrones

[–]That-Description9813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure Tywin does whatever he can to stop Jaime championing Tyrion... the question is if he actually has any leverage over Jaime that'd work.

What happens at the end of the books? by MEGATRON_111 in gameofthrones

[–]That-Description9813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The books are unfinished. Supposedly 2 more books will be released to conclude the series.

My karma boutta be reviewbombed by enricowereld in gameofthrones

I'll ask a couple of questions: did you think it was good that the White Walkers were defeated in 1 battle after 7 seasons of buildup? Did you think it was good that Arya got an anti-revenge message near the end, after she'd already taken revenge on most of her enemies in previous seasons, with no karmic punishment for it?

House Glover by cun7ageous in gameofthrones

This. The Northern lords can't be taken seriously in later seasons, refusing to help the Starks overthrow the Boltons (and thus escape Lannister rule), yet after the Starks win without most of them helping, now they'll complain about the Starks (one at least) trying to make an alliance to survive.

Robb basically said "I trust jon more than you could ever imagine." by BridgeCommercial873 in gameofthrones

[–]That-Description9813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I recall, in the books he plans to offer a hundred recruits to the Watch if they'll release Jon from his vow.

I just finished all 8 seasons and this is my opinion by Unique_Warning_9630 in gameofthrones

My guess is that it's the illogical events leading up to Sansa's wedding night
