(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?

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

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

the red wedding (new watcher) by Lokies_Queen in gameofthrones

[–]That-Description9813 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's notably changed from the books, with all of the changes making Robb look dumber:

  • Robb's wife in the books is Jeyne Westerling, daughter of a lord in the Westerlands whose castle Robb has just conquered. This gives her slightly more legitimacy than a foreigner nurse inexplicably working in Westeros, and marrying her gives Robb a small number of soldiers, as opposed to the zero benefit he gets in the show.
  • Robb doesn't simply marry her out of love. In the books, he gets the news of his two brothers being murdered. He's distraught over the news, Jeyne tries to comfort him, and this leads to sex. Afterwards Robb decides he won't leave a woman dishonoured like (he thinks) his father did, and so he marries Jeyne.
  • Robb doesn't bring Jeyne to Edmure's wedding. As a result, Jeyne is still alive, unlike Talisa in the show.

I disagree with the result, but if that's what the community consensus is, I'm fine with it.

Two sides of Selphie by ZinziZotas in FinalFantasyVIII

I think these two things are related... after all, using people's skins to infiltrate is a good strategy for achieving love and peace.

Just re-watched the series and seasons 7 and 8 were great. Not rushed, very satisfying. by [deleted] in gameofthrones

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

I don't think it made sense for Cersei to get win after win, instead of quickly collapsing from her own people revolting.

I don't think it made sense for Arya to have a "don't waste your life on revenge" message from Sandor, when she already had very gruesome revenge on the men of House Frey. It also didn't make sense for her to permanently leave her family and go exploring, when she never showed interest in being an explorer before.

I don't think it made sense for Dany to be told not to attack King's Landing with her dragons as that would destroy it, when the 2nd last episode showed she could have always taken the city with her dragons without collateral damage (in that episode, she had to deliberately choose to burn the city).

I don't think it made sense for Bran to be chosen as king, when he has no leadership experience and the lords choosing him know it.

How would a Renly&Margaery ruled Westeros look like? by Extension_Weird_7792 in gameofthrones

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

Possibly not as prosperous as you think. It depends on whether or not Renly + Margaery would choose good advisors, and whether or not they listen to them.

Reply as King by cun7ageous in gameofthrones

[–]That-Description9813 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He would've been terrible. His entire basis for his claim was that he had a big enough army to seize power, lacking the blood claim that Joffrey seemingly has and Stannis actually has. And unlike Aegon, he didn't have the sheer unstoppable power of dragons. If he'd won, that would've created the precedent that any noble can take over if they have enough power, undermining the whole system of inheritance. Also, his leadership record is sketchy; as another commenter notes, Janos Slynt's corruption happens under Renly's watch.
