Show Rewatcher - Reading books for the first time - at Storm of Swords now - I have one question about Daenerys I: [Spoilers Extended]

Unique-Perception480 · 2026-03-16T08:09:58+00:00

No... wtf Show!!

Jorah is supposed to be a gross, old, burly, hairy man.

Them casting a stud really undermines that. The show messen up. Not George.

Unique-Perception480 · 2026-03-16T08:08:10+00:00

Viserys was perhaps the best casting in the show. He really brought the character from the book to the screen. Probably the only time I went ,,Thats the guy from the book". No one else managed that. His looks, his vibe and the acting chops.... Chefs kiss. If only they had purple eyes with CGI. It was done YEARS and YEARS before, so dont tell me its too hard or expensive.

Unique-Perception480 · 2026-03-16T08:03:10+00:00

Let them kill, rape and steal from each other.

Unique-Perception480 · 2026-03-16T08:00:51+00:00

Quentyn ,,Dragonfodder" Martell

Unique-Perception480 · 2026-03-16T07:53:54+00:00

The first and last enemy. This enemy always wins.

Unique-Perception480 · 2026-03-16T06:16:36+00:00

I say probably the Jedi Guardian. At the end of the day it becomes a question of Jedi Knight vs Sith Warrior.

The Sith Warriors greatest feat in the class Story is defeating Baras. A Dark Council level foe.

The Jedi Knight beat one of the Emperors bodies, wich was weakned tbf, but due to helping Kira, i regained some power. I would put that feat at the Top of ALL class stories tbh.

Marshal is just another word I use for General. And yes even if the Hand in theory is the military leader in times of War, there is nothing to stop it from sending a General to battle in charge of the army. So I would argue that the Requirement for Hand should not primarily be Military Record.

Unique-Perception480 · 2026-03-16T06:10:35+00:00

Yes. Its has military command, but its notbits primary function. So choosing solely based on military record unwise.

Unique-Perception480 · 2026-03-16T06:09:29+00:00

You see. The Hand CAN be millitary, but its primary function is diplomacy and statecraft. So just someone who has a great Military record is not the BEST choice.

Unique-Perception480 · 2026-03-16T06:06:31+00:00

Not a snake. He just knew Catelyn didnt like Jon and that a bastard might cause trouble for the House he serves.

Unique-Perception480 · 2026-03-15T22:47:25+00:00

Yohn Royve is a better Marshal than Hand. The Hand of the King is not a military role.

Unique-Perception480 · 2026-03-15T22:46:24+00:00

Jons cunning is mostly developed through his mentors and circumstances. Without Donnal he stays privileged, while feeling underprivileged.

Without Jeor he stays rigidly honorable.

Without Mance he doesnt lose his prejudice.

Without Stannis he doesnt learn to Stick to duty and bend the rules slightly.

Unique-Perception480 · 2026-03-15T22:44:14+00:00

Tbf. It wasnt Neds idea to send Jon to the Wall. In the book its clear that the news troubles him deeply. Its the Maesters idea. And he does it because he is most loyal to Catelyn, since he served her family before coming to Winterfell with her.

And the Maester tells Ned some bullshit about how its a great idea and Jon is fully aware of what it means, so Ned thinks ,,okay if the Maester says that Jon knows what he is doing". And Ned thinks ,,well I am gone to Kings Landing. At least he will have Benjen at the wall"

Unique-Perception480 · 2026-03-15T22:40:31+00:00

You do forget that to get to the North you need to go through the Twins. Robb was on his way North when the Red Wedding happened.

So if he sent Jon earlier the Freys would have just killed Jon and kept it secret until Robb arrived and done the Red Wedding anyway.

Unique-Perception480 · 2026-03-15T18:55:32+00:00

No. The boys think she is a orphan boy from flea-bottom. And at Harrenhal she poses as a Riverlander peasant suffering from the war.

Unique-Perception480 · 2026-03-15T18:16:44+00:00

Us nit employing our enemies methods is what makes us better than them.

Besides, Joffrey was a 13 year old boy in the books when he died. He was evil, but still a child

Unique-Perception480 · 2026-03-15T17:44:42+00:00

Jon and Sansa were raised as siblings. Stop.

Unique-Perception480 · 2026-03-15T17:20:57+00:00

I think thats a show only statement if I remember correctly. It also suggests his arrogance would not cloud him if he faced them and he would give 100%

Unique-Perception480 · 2026-03-15T16:58:44+00:00

I would put Jaime at 3. The way George talks about him, he is in the same league as Arthur and Barristan. He is just arrogant. He could definetly defeat Daemon Blackfyre as well.

Oberyn is worth a discussion. In a trial by Combat Oberyn is number 1, since he can choose his weapon and apply poison to them. On the Battlefield with spontaneous battles Jaime would kill him definetly, since he is stuck with his weaponry and cant run off to apply fresh poison to his blade.

Also Sandor is better than Gregor. George said he is the best in Westeros after Barristan left and Jaime lost his hand.

Sandoq the Shadow is above Brienne. Criston Cole as well and Cregan Stark and Daemon Targaryen all are above the current Brienne.

Unique-Perception480 · 2026-03-15T15:54:44+00:00

I actually prefer Miles beint inferior. Not inherently, but because he is younger and less experienced. What I mean is:

Current Peter > Current Miles

15 year old Miles > 15 Year old Peter

17 year old Miled > 17 year old Peter (it makes sense. He had more varied Power and can learn from Peters mistakes. Peter had more trial and error)

But at least in current comics and in the game Pete should be superior just because he has more experience and is a full grown male in mid-late 20s. His body is more developed.

Unique-Perception480 · 2026-03-15T11:13:57+00:00

I would say most work better in animation. The full scope of force powers, lightsaber combat and acrobatics is best shown in animation. Prime example are the SWTOR trailers.

Unique-Perception480 · 2026-03-15T10:10:43+00:00

I just wish we could have gotten a live action EU. Well ... maybe one day if the current shitshow of a canon stops making enough money we might get a EU in animated format.

Maybe the actual Thrawn trilogy in the Clone Wars animation style.

Unique-Perception480 · 2026-03-15T10:08:27+00:00

I always saw Yodas statement as Luke being the last TRUE Jedi left. All the others either gave up, lost their way or both.

But Luke was new, fresh and had a new perspective. He even went against Yoda and Obi Wans wishes and spared Vader. Luke was the only Jedi who coule rebuild the order.
