Blutrabe Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 My guess is that they'll cast Euron for S6, and have him do whatever important thing he is going to do in TWOW. Balon will unceremoniously killed off and Euron will just take his place, without any kingsmoot. Maybe they'll have Asha question his position, but we'll see what happens to her in S5 (if anything). Euron will not send Victarion anywhere, as he doesn't exist in the show canon and Dany doesn't need him to return to Westeros. So in short, the whole Ironborn plotline from AFFC/ADWD is cut, but will be picked up with TWOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithras Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I think Euron has two purposes in the narrative: 1. Send Victarion and the dragonhorn to Dany2. Create chaos in the Reach3. Be killed at Oldtown when fAegon comes and saves the day 1. With no Victarion, obviously he cannot have that purpose in the show. Besides, it looks like the show will have a visit to the ruins of Valyria where Stone Men live. So, the dragonhorn might be recovered from there. Or the dragonhorn can be alltogether omitted as well. 2. There are many ways to create chaos in the Reach for the show and perhaps the show might alltogether omit Highgarden or the Reach. The Reach is likely to be the main playground of the Second Dance and since it looks like we will have no Dance in the show, the Reach might be alltogether omitted by the show. 3. Since fAegon does not look like coming and the Second Dance not happening, this also serves no purpose. Therefore, I don't see any reason why Euron should be cast. I don't think he will do any of the crackpot things the fans come up with. He is a minor character whose purpose is to move the plot forward. He is not a big character. In the books, he already served most of his purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkash Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 It would sincerly be anticlimatic in a bad way if Euron fookin' Greyjoy was killed by Aegon. Euron has been built up and portrayed so mysteriously and I'm sure the Silence is filled with treasures and wonders from all over the Known World and further. He must have something big up his sleeves, probably bigger than the Horn. Maybe I'm completely wrong but I'm really looking forward to see what Euron is up to in Winds, and hope to see him in season 6. But I think at this point, he'll likely be the only main new character for season 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTowerOfJoy Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I still think there's a chance we get Euron next season, though it's possible that Yara will get Victarion's role. Balon needs to die already... They certainly are killing off enough characters this season to make room for some new ones next year. I'm still holding out hope we get Howland Reed next year as well.

Lord Lannister Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I see one of two things happening. One is Balon dies at some point and the Iron Islands story pretty much is gone. Two is Euron/Victarion/Aeron all pretty much get merged into the existing Greyjoys Balon/Theon/As-- Yara(sigh) and we get some condensed version of it. If I had to guess it will be the former and Balon's only alive because they wanted a fuller introduction to the Faceless Men before he dies.

Steelborn Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 It may be possible that the Greyjoys will only have a part to play in the show when Dany arrives in Westeros and they join her bringing the Ironborn to her cause. They = Yara and/or Theon. Considering how they have been ignored altogether so far, I can see this happening. So sadly, no Euron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctid1977 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I think we'll see Euron next season. I wouldn't be surprised if they hint at him this season too. Maybe when Stannis takes Deepwood Motte!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think at this point, he'll likely be the only main new character for season 6. Agreed with all of this. Euron is too intriguing of a character to just omit entirely or think his lone purpose is a device to move the plot forward. For the fans who think there isn't enough time left to wrap everything up so B&W can't introduce Euron or spend time w the IB, what exactly do you foresee happening in the next two seasons? Season 5 is going to exhaust almost all of the existing source material. Do you really trust these guys to just take it from here on their own, aside from "the ending" that they know of? I don't. If there is source material available that might be integral to the story I want to see it translated to the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluetiger Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Maybe Balon will die off-screen, someone will mention kingsmoot and that Ironborn chose Gylbert Farwynd for new king... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFP Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 dunno. many apologies if already pointed out but Jaime catching the Dornish sword with his golden hand provided a nice little echo of Victarion doing something similar in AFFC, though using his [for a time at least] real hand, clad in "lobstered steel" [great term] guantlet.

Wyman Manderly's Meat Pies Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 How can D&D hear the sentence "Euron attacking the Reach" and not understand the absolute gold they'd have with Olenna Tyrell and Euron in the same room? That is what is best for everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkash Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I think Euron would slit Olenna's throat quite quickly, so I dont think it would be a big scene. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeping Sore Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 D & D haven't been too keen on flamboyant characters (Tormund and Mance grimmed up, Daario the understated Dutch hipster, Strong Belwas gone) so I'm not sure they are all in on Euron. It's still possible we see him S6, but with the Seige of Meereen unlikely, his role would change. I'd miss Vic more, tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Prince_of_Dorne Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I got given a book about the making of the TV show for my birthday, in it goes through all the houses that are there, and in Dorne for example Arianne and Quentyn are missing, for the Tyrells, Garlan and Willas are missing. For the Greyjoys, Victarion and Aeron are missing but Euron is still in. I think that annoying as it is as it really puts off that whole leech burning scene back in series 3 but I think they will still go to the Iron Islands, and that's why Balon's death is put off. Also I know the dreadfort scene was really bad, but I think it was just a way of reminding people about Balon and Yara, wouldn't be any need unless there was something later. Euron still being there means they can do some version of the kingsmoot with Yara & Victarion's storylines merged. The actress who plays Yara is featured heavily at the end of the season (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2247629/), which will either be a Greyjoy alliance with Daenerys or her being captured by Stannis. I would say Stannis is more likely, but Euron's existence on the family tree makes me doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordParas Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 They just delay Greyjoy kingsmood for season 6. No way they cut Euron from the show, every show needs a psycho super villain not a Gregorstein robot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way they cut Euron from the show, every show needs a psycho super villain not a Gregorstein robot. We have Ramsay and Roose. And Joff/Tywin did lots of good villaining too. Oh, Karl Tanner and Locke as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a waste of money.And they also need someone to replace Joff and Ramsay (when he is dead) as badass psycho lord. Since they make Stannis looks like a hero now, their only candidates is Euron Greyjoy for season 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
