"Fuck the Targaryens" is such a not hot take that the Night King had to put on a coat after hearing it

Historically they seem most like the Ptolmeaic dynasty to me but without the whole claiming godhood thing.

Long story short when Alexander the Great destroyed the Persian Empire and beyond and then died shortly after his generals grabbed up different portions of the land they conquered. For about 300 years after the conquest the descendants of his general Ptolemy played a balancing act between appealing to the local ancient Egyptian religion while portraying themselves to the outside as being the heirs of Alexander the Great and totally Greek/Macedonian.

They started drinking their own kool aid in terms of being "Pharoh" and part of being a god meant being apart the locals so they started marrying inside of the family to the point where they were marrying brothers to sisters.

The last one of the line was Cleopatra.

Ooh I like this comparison. I'm guessing it goes without saying the added similarities with the cleopatra incest stuff and trying to sleep with her

The fat guy in the original show is nice

Not everyone is evil. There are good people in Wewteros but they usually aren't in power

Samwell Tarly. He is a character of Game of Thrones. He is kinda like Sam the Hobbit from Lord of the Rings. He is pure of heart

Yeah I edited my comment to add that in but they were foreigners ruling Egypt for hundreds of years trying to be the god kings of Egypt while also walking around as one of the many leaders of the successor states to Alexander the Great.

Being a "god king of Egypt" didn't mean shit to people in Greece itself, or in the successor states still running portions of Alexanders conquests out east (Selucid Empire) and it definately didn't mean shit to the Romans who ended up conquering all of those people over time but the Ptolemies would present one face to those groups of powerful potential foes/allies and another face to the people they were ruling.

Some are decent, but the main characters are mostly highborn, and hardly any of them actually care about the smallfolk or non-highborn issues. Like when everyone mocked Sam's suggestion of democracy instead of a new king.

I know they have their faults but man Daenerys was freeing enslaved people everywhere I wanted her to win


She was also convinced she could do no wrong yet was consistently proven to be terrible at ruling. It's basically the theme of the whole house-- they might be great at conquering people, but they're terrible at actually being Kings or Queens.

off the top of my head:
Sansa
Arya
Bran
Sam
Jon
Gilly
Ameon
Ned
Rob
Blackfish
Obryn
Margery
Melissandi
Brienne
Gendry

all people who are far from awful.

The Lanisters are all right for the most part
Jamie: literally pushes a child out of a window

Cersei: lmao

Tyrion: "drunken little lust filled beast" who ironically turns out to be the best of them.

Tywin: gave approval to Walder Frey to carry out the Red Wedding.

For the most part the Lannisters were just as terrible as the rest.

If the original game of thrones series didnt have them and the entire Esteros thing, I would have liked it more. Westeros was more entertaining to me.
