How the character of Stannis Baratheon was butchered in the show

fucking D&D

TL:DW:

Spoiler

>Melisandre manages to ride back to Castle Black despite the sellswords disappearing with all of the horses
>Sellswords getting bootyblasted over a girl being immolated despite the fact that they're just there to get paid
>Stannis walking up to Winterfell without a battle plan like a retard, completely eviscerating his character trait of "tried and tested battle commander"
>Actively disregarding the battle plan he had in the books, which was to bait the Boltons into a lake of ice
>Boltons magically conjuring up what looks like 7000 odd men despite the fact they had 2000 in the books, significantly less than what Stannis had
>Brienne disregarding the line of succession simply because Renly was like, super nice to her at one point

If anyone has had their character absolutely trashed by the showrunners it's Stannis.

Enough with this game of thrones shit.

The books and show see both awful.

I didn't even realize she said Renly was the rightful king

Big Boss · June 19, 2015, 06:12:13 AM

Why is Brienne just a fucking Terminator at this point

Probably so that they have a counter to the argument that women in GOT are there to get killed in horrible ways or for haram purposes. Completely forgetting all of the decent characters with more to them than being a po-faced donkey that's apparently there to mop up everyone's favourite characters now.

It gets a bit boring after a while. Hell, I'm rooting for Cersei more now. Lannisters ftw.

Ah yes because Cersei is in prison and Arya is off being a ninja assasin so they need a woman to fill in all the women roles except whore

Yeah I'm sick of her, and even if it is meant to be the stronk induhpendunt womun thing, all she's done is kill wounded men who are dying/dead anyway.

Such stronk.

Her quest was a bit interesting for a while but she just seems to always be conviently be wherever plot shit is happening at the right time. She is probably going to be taking a nice break in King's Landing when Cersei's trial by combat is happening and end up fighting as the champion against Robert Strong and win

Idk the purple wedding seemed fine to me.

Yeah I thought it was a bit much how many damn soldiers the Bolton's had in the show. I don't even think they could supply that many people haha

Don't worry Mordo I'm sure we can expect more epic Daenerys speeches about when she comes to Westeros and changes everything.

The Lord Ruler · June 19, 2015, 10:09:02 AM

I assumed all the sellswords went to fight with the boltons

More Than Mortal · June 19, 2015, 10:34:46 AM

This is why I stick with the books.

Stannis was absolutely character-assassinated by HBO.

Zizzy · June 19, 2015, 12:11:13 PM

Wait, were Stannis' sellswords the Golden Company? I thought their whole thing was that they never broke contracts?

Except for the case of Young Griff, yes. But that was a very special case.

So Stannis didn't hire the Golden Company then?

I haven't watched the show since S3, but he didn't in the books. Everyone though he did since they were sailing for Westeros, though.

Big Boss · June 19, 2015, 12:54:06 PM

Can't wait to see Brienne solo the White Walkers while reading super-Drogon with Lightbringer...

Elai · June 19, 2015, 01:24:24 PM

I'm actually so fucking done with the show. Stannis was ruined. Snow was ruined.

The only character I liked this season was Tyrion. Which is rare because I don't usually like him all that much.
