Unflinchingly dark, filled with a unique complexity of honor and a certain lust for power... the show fell off without Stannis on it. Man, what an intriguing character.

scarletspeed7 07/21/21 7:06:08 PM #6:	Yeah, I guess we're fortunate that there wasn't too much of him past that point. I know the odds are slim, but I greatly look forward to seeing Stannis' story in the books. In all honesty, I understand that that might be the role he has to play with Jon's ascension, but I'd live to get a little more meat of the bone beforehand. --- "It is too easy being monsters.

I think they had made some poor decisions early on for simplicity's sake that ended up biting them in the ass. You combine that with shortening season length... yeah, there are institutional problems with the last couple seasons, for sure.

HanOfTheNekos 07/21/21 9:43:31 PM #23:	I feel like a lot of what I liked from early GoT was that characters didn't feel like they filled a role. Most everyone had issues (Starks felt like the only 'good' characters. Like, even Jorah was a perv), and everyone had their own agenda, and the characters who were deemed to be 'the' hero... died. Into season 6 and a lot of final roles were chosen and expectations were set and intrigue largely disappeared. Stannis was always so good because he wasn't a Stark but he was opposed to the Lannisters and that made him such an interesting viewpoint. Davos and his daughter brought him some humanity that wouldn't have been there otherwise and made him compelling. --- "Bordate is a pretty shady place, what with the gangs, casinos, evil corporations and water park." - FAHtastic <cite>HanOfTheNekos posted [p:956333830] in Rewatching...

ctesjbuvf 07/22/21 4:30:40 AM #34:	Stannis is fantastic. Rewatching the show actually made me think on several occasions that the show writers failed to understand the complexity of his character. I'd have to research on the exact details, but a lot of time they made Melisandre take decisions he took, where she told him to do something instead of himself insisting on it. IIRC the burning of Selyse's brother (father in books) was also for his misbeliefs and not for the treason and that deranges Stannis' views and principles. Stannis is more desperate for Melisandre's help in the book rather than actually caring too much for her religion. Among other things, it hurts the relationship between him and Davos. --- Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to azuarc, the winner of the Game of the Decade II guru contest. <cite>ctesjbuvf posted [p:956341635] in Rewatching...

Instead of preparing to execute Davos himself and stopping because he realizes he's forgotten what it means to be a king. He instead tries to let his men execute Davos and has to be stopped by Melisandre of all people. --- IGN: Pandora <cite>htaeD posted [p:956342107] in Rewatching...

andylt 07/22/21 8:09:43 AM #38:	I hated how they did show Stannis lol, but that's probably just salt because he's so radically different from his book version and it seemed like the writers didn't understand a single thing of what he's about (in the books). Dillane did the best he could with what he was given, though. --- Slowly becoming a Final Fantasy aficionado. <cite>andylt posted [p:956344323] in Rewatching...

PerfectChaosZ 07/22/21 11:22:50 AM #39:	Stannis was boring as shit. Never understood the hype. They could have put a potato in his place and everyone could have said how much they respect him and not much would have changed. Without Davos standing beside him being great and constantly talking about how honorable, just, and strong convictions he has you would have never known! What is his like second scene? Being manipulated like a weak-willed loser with no strong convictions into breaking his vows to his wife and cheat on her, then instead of facing Renly in battle he does the most underhanded, cowardly, non-honorable, totally against his previously established strong convictions backstab in the world using demon magic. He's just yet another generic evil bald dude lusting for power the only difference is Davos keeps assuring us he's got all this amazing character strengths that just aren't present in the actual text/show at all. Show us don't tell us. He had conviction enough in the Seven to cut off dudes fingers but throws it all away in two seconds like a flip-flopping jellyfish. Every scene more interesting people talk around him while hes just quiet looking like hes about to cry. Stannis did everything he didnt want to do and still lost. Im glad he got murdered by someone with actual honor who never wavered. But even that was unsatisfying. <cite>PerfectChaosZ posted [p:956348885] in Rewatching...
