mafro987daboss Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Now that Daenerys has dismissed him, what was his purpose in the first place, and will we see him again considering all the major players are in (or heading in the direction of) Westeros? It seems the role of 'The Harpy' is not significant.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisabetta Duò Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 He might be one of Daenery's betrayals in the books, I don't know if the show would make it relevant as well or not Spoiler in the books, the prophecy says she will be betrayed once for gold (Jorah), once for blood (fAegon?) and once for love (Daario?)

Florina Laufeyson Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 He strongly assists in her character development in both mediums. Hes the honest little devil on her shoulder saying "yo, be the durgin, embrace the durgin, stop pussyfooting. Durgin." Daario reminds her of her true self. I also feel like we havent seen the last of him in the show? After all, Jorah is still out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockjaw of House Boltagon Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Wasn't there a guy in the books who Dany left in charge of Astapor (?) and he turned dictator the second she left? Maybe that's gonna be Daario. Oh, no, I got it, maybe Euron's gonna meet Daario when he arrives at Meereen and they'll join forces against Dany. Hell hath no fury like a fuckboi scorned.

I highly doubt Euron's fleet will get to Meereen without Dany encountering or at least hearing about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubicante Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I think the better question to ask is "What was the point of recasting Daario in season 4?". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Goosey Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I've not cared for the Daario character in the books or program. Why would this Second Son be fit to rule Mereen? Why would he and his cohorts want to stay in Mereen? Aren't the Second Sons nomadic mercenaries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dany needed to be in a relationship where she was totally in charge because girls rock and to show how a strong independent woman can totally tame a bad boy. That is pretty much the level of discourse. The harpy had zero significance at all. It could have, but it seems no one was creative enough to come up with an even semi plausible bit of writing to resolve it so they just had the Indians ride in (er, dothraki) and hoot, holler and kill all the sons of the harpy.

Quyen Thuy Tran Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I'm still puzzled lol. In the book, she's like "Daario is soooooooo hot" all and all. In the show she cuts it so easily. Will he follows her to Westeros and make a fuss, who knows, maybe he will be one of the betrayals she will know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's ok I'm the Glass Guy Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Daario will join up with Jorah and they'll rule Meereen in a spinoff sitcom. It'll be like Perfect Strangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frimmel Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 They put him in before they decided to drop the various other lost Targs and no longer needed the mercenary army. With all of that dropped he's a loose end that needed clipped. Also probably a bit of what Yovmo said about how a show demonstrates it has "strong women characters."

SevasTra82 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 So Basically... After 2+ seasons, Dany just decides to leave Mereen in the hands of a Mercenary, and never even finds out who the Harpy is? And this will probably be the last time we see Essos? ...Ooookayy..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have thought about that before they spend so much time there. Besides, there is no excuse for not revealing who the Harpy is. It was a major plot line in Season 5 and bled into Season 6....for them to just drop the plot with no closure is just bad writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't they just establish that there was no 1 harpy but that the slavers Tyrion meets with are funding the resistance and are simply known as the Harpy?

Yeah I don't think there's a single person who is the Harpy. The Harpy is just a symbol of Slaver's Bay and Old Ghis, the slavers' ancestral homeland, I believe. The point of Daario is for him to be Euron in disguise. At least in the books. Since we're discussing the show here, they can simply recast Daario a second time. This time as Mads Mikkelsen, this time for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
