cozmeesah Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Now, we don't know that doesn't happen in Book 6. It was telegraphed it was going to happen. I think people are just mad that it will make Unsullied hate their precious Stannis. Who isn't the most wonderful guy on the planet. One nice scene with his daughter doesn't change that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmasterclay Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 The knight hesitated. "Your Grace, if you are dead " " you will avenge my death, and seat my daughter on the Iron Throne. Or die in the attempt." Stannis AWOW. This show isn't a flip book adaptation of the books. Stop expecting it to be. And before you say "DOZE RETARDS DUMB AND DUMBER DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT DEEZE KARACTERS", Stannis straight up tried to murder his own nephew and cut his most loyal man's fingers off. He's not the "Saint" you want him to be even though you hate Tyrion for that same concept. And Dillaine did a fabulous, fabulous job showing the heartbreak and complexity of this moment. I don't completely agree with it, but calm down, man. Judge it for what it is in a TV show, NOT as an exact replica of a book. The words "based on" are there for a reason. Also, LOL @ purists saying that everyone would quit watching the show because of the burning, and everyone on Twitter and in reviews instantly praising the episode for the brilliant final scene and saying it might have even topped last week. I'm a die hard fan of the books but you gotta realize that the series can't just pander to the 1.5 million people who loved the books and was there for the first episode- it has to appeal to the seven million (at least) Americans and tens of millions that the show has grown internationally that like different elements of the show. And those people don't LOVE Stannis like the rest of the internet does. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Guys we may want to take some of this into the other thread to avoid getting into book spoilers for things that haven't happened yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bed005 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Ya this episode definitely makes Stannis a less likeable TV character, but I don't think it ruined the show. It's also not really out of character, because in the books he's willing to burn children. Sun's Son - Who was the second character you thought was completely bastardized this episode?

Lordmandeep Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 This is what is odd a about this show. A man burning his only child alive to please a Fire God is okay. A Rape scene is wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And those people don't LOVE Stannis like the rest of the internet does. The ratings are going down people are getting fed up, adaptation is one thing out right changing a charecters person is not. Stannis never agreed to burn children or indeed anyone once he goes north. This destroys his character for the sake of shock value id rather they just had ramsay kill him tbh. Next year the ratings will go down more as book readers abandon in droves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bed005 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Prince doran but he's already been ruined I never had any strong opinions of him in the books, so I can't get too worked up over changes to him. The Dorne story overall (book/show) is a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 It's kinda hilarious that fucking Littlefinger of all people is the most sympathetic and rootable one of all the Lords gunning for the North. That's what happens when the show eliminates the entire Northern Lord Conspiracy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dorne story overall (book/show) is a mess. Ture but he would never send his only son into Kings landing or return myrcella or let Jaime leave or any of the other things dorne this season was just a way to keep the actor in show I doubt any of these people will return which is a waste of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
