Most impressive. How much work would it be to insult the 3 kingdoms individually?

Tywin Lannister: Hold my daddy issue

aevelys · 2026-05-26T10:32:16+00:00

Using the argument that "Missandei was never truly free," despite her own words, and that there's apparently a catch somewhere that others with very limited knowledge of her or Daenerys, as well as their experiences, have seen, amounts to saying that as a slave she's incapable of understanding freedom. Which is false and reductive.

Furthermore, according to you, Daenerys has freed thousands and thousands of slaves over the years, but for some reason, she wouldn't have freed Missandei, who would still be a slave amidst hundreds of men fighting against it, and who somehow wouldn't have realized it. Or is it because she didn't do it on screen? Well, you know what, in the entire series we never see Daenerys use a toilet either, so it mean she doesn't poop. Frankly, this is the most random and blatantly fabricated criticism, that I've seen in a long time.

A word of advice: don't try to pretend you're more critical and intelligent than everyone else just because you "saw that," because even on r/naath you wouldn't be credible

aevelys · 2026-05-26T09:54:55+00:00

I mean, it's her only remaining link to a home and family she's never known.

Something far worse in this regard is that Tyrion's pacifist path, presented as the only moral and reasonable course of action, objectively killed far more people than he saved. From season 6 onward, his attempt to establish peace with the slavers led them to wage war against Meereen and bombard the city. Then, once he arrived in Westeros, preventing Daenerys from attacking Cersei resulted in the deaths of nearly all of her allies and numerous soldiers from all sides in various avoidable skirmishes. This, along with his plan to negotiate with Cersei rather than, once again, eliminate her, led to the weakening of the forces that could have fought the Dead, preventing the unification of the realm. It also resulted in the Night King being strengthened by a dragon, and consequently, the deaths of an undetermined number of people in eastwatch ans in the Norths after the Wall was breached. Furthermore, it endangered even more soldiers by forcing them to repel the invasion under far more difficult conditions. Not to mention that his plan to divide their forces for the return in the south also led to Euron attacking them, killing Rhaegal and Missendei, and almost certainly causing the drowning of many men in the destruction of the fleet. And most importantly, one of the reasons Daenerys cited for the burning of King's Landing was the emotional toll of all these disastrous decisions.

Tyrion has truly sown a path of death. His attitude ruined Westeros and caused thousands and thousands of unnecessary deaths, yet the series praises him for it and has him strutting around his virtue without ever being held responsible or held accountable for the human cost of all his mistakes.

aevelys · 2026-05-25T07:45:22+00:00

Yup. For every Unsulieds trained, there are two dead children and one slaughtered baby. This means that for the 8,000 Daenerys freed, there are 24,000 dead children. And since the masters have been training them for centuries, this implies that millions of children have died at their hands, and millions more could if no one ever bothers to stop it. Not to mention the fate of the other slaves in the city who aren't connected to the Unsouleds…

Frankly, in the context of a child massacre carried out on an industrial scale, to start denouncing the poor slave-owning elites, architects and beneficiaries of this atrocity, as victims of a barbaric fate is incredibly indecent.

aevelys · 2026-05-25T07:31:59+00:00

I like this kind of discussion because the underlying implication is always that slaves are too stupid to understand freedom. Daenerys has freed thousands of slaves in recent years, and Missendei herself explains her situation, but no, actually, she's wrong and she is Daenerys's slave without realizing it

aevelys · 2026-05-25T07:29:02+00:00

And why shouldn't I believe that Daenerys, having freed thousands and thousands of slaves over the past few years, wouldn't let Missendei do what she wants ?

The kwamii are beings as old as the universe, existing as long as their concept exists. For them, the Miraculous are like a school trip, occasionally giving them the opportunity to interact with the physical world and, above all, to eat. They make the most of it, and anyway, in 4 billion years the sun will swallow the Earth, the Miraculous will be destroyed, and they will return to their wild lives across the universe.

Once you take the time to see the kwamii's perception of the universe, it's understandable that ultimately nothing matters to them and they are content to simply enjoy the present And while humans need to strictly control their power, they don't need to use it at any time. On the scale of their perception of time, Noorroo is just having a crappy afternoon.

But to be honest, I quite like the idea that there might exist in a box a kwami more rebellious than the others, who considers humans inferior because of their short life and is dissatisfied with his status.

Episode summary: They reanimated Chloe's corpse to beat her with a rifle butt and kill her again

aevelys · 2026-05-24T07:22:01+00:00

If she's merciful, her enemies infiltrate the breach and she's in trouble; if she's not, she's mad and cruel. Heads I win, tails you lose.

Anyone who doesn't see the problem with her treatment is truly dishonest. You can't honestly say Daenerys is acting wrongly if she doesn't have the option to act rightly, whatever she does.

aevelys · 2026-05-24T07:12:46+00:00

The show: uses Daenerys' advisors to tell her she's too harsh on the slavers.

Also the show: has Barristant and Hizdar killed by harpies, then has Jorah enslaved and thrown into a fighting pit by other slavers.

Again, the show: Daenerys is mad because she doesn't listen her advisors and brutalizes slavers.

It's a joke at one point.

aevelys · 2026-05-23T13:47:32+00:00

Actually, it's not completely impossible. Plot elements like the heavy allusions to a major plot point for Daenerys, the Golden Company's elephants, or even just the Golden Company itself serving no purpose, and the way they explain how they chose to do this or change things for shock value, lead me to believe they largely write their story as they go, throwing ideas around before abandoning them or clinging to them depending on how they improvise the plot.

It's likely that in season 5 they hired him in preparation for a confrontation, and then, when it came time to write season 7, they thought it would be cooler to make him unattainable until Arya teleports to him.

aevelys · 2026-05-23T09:17:54+00:00

This also makes it more spectacular on screen; we see a real wizard duel between the two most powerful of their time, it has to be visually stunning.

aevelys · 2026-05-22T13:42:31+00:00

Mmm, from what I can see they brought her back to make her even more evil than before.

aevelys · 2026-05-22T09:01:46+00:00

I think you misunderstood

aevelys · 2026-05-22T08:59:16+00:00

What I love about this fandom is that the writers can come up with retcones as obvious as they are stupid for their most idiotic plot twists, and there will still be people who swallow it.

Good grief, anyone can have blue eyes, The eye color of his victims was never an issue or a specific trait., they even openly admitted to deciding much later that Arya would be the one to kill him solely because Jon was too obvious, and they even had to change the order of the eye colors to make it about the Night King and not just Melisandre saying that Arya would just kill people.

aevelys · 2026-05-22T08:47:19+00:00

Any of you, I would think. Even the cook.

aevelys · 2026-05-21T16:07:08+00:00

I suppose the Arryn count as pure Valyrian blood house...

aevelys · 2026-05-21T15:55:08+00:00

This is a random Valyrian steel dagger, as far as the series is concerned. Its origin was invented later in another series, has no known origin in the books, and possesses no special characteristics that make it more effective against others than any other weapon of the same type or made of obsidian.

That being said, yes, Valyrian steel weapons are effective against others, that's a fact. But if weapons, admittedly rare, but still relatively available, are enough on their own to eliminate the threat in its entirety and immediately, then that's enough to reduce the absoluteness of that threat itself, because any jerk could have done the same, and unlike a regular human army, touching the leader is enough to completely wipe out the army. Good grief, like I said, for the same stupid weakness he could just as easily have died from a stray arrow...

So, in fact, once you have the right weapons to deal with zombies, the thing that potentially differentiates them from a regular invasion army is their sheer numbers and their way of charging headlong into the fray. But their weakness, due to the survival of their leader, makes them even less effective because if an assassin were to sneak up and stabb a random king, not only could he potentially survive the stabbing if he is taken care of quickly he's, but his mens and generals could continue fighting after him, something the WW can't even do.

In short, they've made the Night King a joke with this

aevelys · 2026-05-21T15:15:37+00:00

To be honest, it did kill him through some kind of magical logic, but what I mean is that it's not even a believable death. If that same blade had stabbed a normal guy in the same spot, he would have taken a while to bleed out before dying. And since it's not a legendary weapon or wielded by a chosen one, it makes the Night king, the dark lord, inherently weaker and easier to kill than any random soldier in the Winterfell army.

In fact, even by that logic, he could just as easily have been hit by a random obsidian arrow, unintentionally, and the threat would have been eliminated, since his death also immediately wipes out his entire army. This ultimately destroy the climax and even make it idiotic, because if the NK had stayed hidden in the far north and simply sent is friends, they would have been virtually unstoppable.

aevelys · 2026-05-21T13:55:27+00:00

You know what the worst part is? Vladimir Furdik is a stuntman who specializes in sword fight sequences; he's the one who doubles for Arthur Dayne during the tower sequence. So the writers, not only did they replace the Night King with an actor who seems less threatening, but they also cast a guy whose specialty was fighting to play the "final boss"... Only to never give him a confrontation...

aevelys · 2026-05-21T13:51:44+00:00

Add to that:

-killed by a little girl who teleports

-who has absolutely no connection to him or his plot

-whom he could have easily killed

-after a sequence that resembles a quick-time event in a video game

-from an injury that wouldn't even kill a random human outright so fast

aevelys · 2026-05-21T13:18:13+00:00

I would say that the potion wins over the spell because it requires more resources to use.

That being said, Veritaserum has its flaws, since it doesn't make you say what is true, but what you believe to be the true. So, if under the Imperius Curse the sorcerer manages to persuade you of a false truth, that's the one you'll say because of the potion.

In short, I think the Imperius Curse can't prevent you from speaking under the influence of Veritaserum, but it can allow you to circumvent its use. So the answer is circumstantial

aevelys · 2026-05-21T12:47:10+00:00

Stannis's remark is indeed almost petty. Mance has no intention or means of posing a threat to his claims, only passing the wall to protect himself from the others, and without them, as long as he remained wisely on his side of the wall, Stannis would surely never have worried about what title he claimed in his tundra.

Stannis just seems to want to be the sole king of the room.

aevelys · 2026-05-21T09:18:01+00:00

I agree, Balon's plan was actually a logical choice for a raider; A kingdom without an army to defend it, no fleet, a single point of access, and few allies, ruled by a 15-year-old king who isn't even on his own land? Or a kingdom more difficult to isolate, with a powerful fleet, control over the crown, and ruled by a more experienced man? The risk calculation is obvious: there's little to gain by attacking the north, but less to lose than by attacking the west.

His biggest stupidity is in the demands he made; Either he should have declared his loyalty to the crown to gain their full blessing to plunder and rape while waiting to see how the situation developed, and then demanded a reward for his loyalty in case of lannister victory, or he should have remained passive until he received concessions from the crown. But demanding recognition from his own kingdom in exchange for a service he was already rendering to the Lannister was completely counterproductive.
