How will Tom Brady winning with the Buccaneers without "Belicho" be referenced? Perhaps some general named Tomas Brados from will lead a Summer Island faction to victory against Volantis

So is Harry actually fAegon?

I don't have a problem with the fantasy aspects of the story, but there's just no nuance to Euron's character. Like, what's his goal? To conquer the world, seriously. What's his motivation, why does he do the things he does? I don't know, because his mad, apparently. That's a cop out and a lazy way out. He was always a bad egg, since he was young. And that's it. That's taking a potentially interesting and rich character and going for the easy way out: make it a psychopath. Just like GRRM did with Cersei in Feast. 

And sure, people like that exist, not everyone is gray, blah blah blah, but that's not interesting, that's not engaging. This guy's supposed to be the Final Boss, he should be a more layered character, there should be more shades to his evilness. He's basically Ramsay. Rape? Check. Systematic torture designed to strip the victim of his identity? Check. Casual violence? Check. Represents the degradation of the North/Ironborn by going backwards towards a more savage way of living? Check. 

Euron's smart while Ramsay's a brute, so what? Big whoop. I still don't know who the fuck is Euron, other than a psychopathic rapist. You wanna talk about plot gifts? Euron's got a dragon egg, a dragonbinding horn and a super cool Valyrian steel armor. People say GRRM is somehow subverting the Dark Lord trope with Euron? I think not. He's using that trope straight. 

Hell, Victarion of all people has more nuances to his evil than Euron, and through his misguided attempts to free slaves like Dany makes him a more interesting foil to her than Euron. It's funny, the more cartoonish and over the top Euron gets, the more interesting and layered I find freaking Victarion and Aeron. 

You're assuming he's The Final Boss, he could help save the realm at the end of the day for all we know.

You don't think Aeron knows his own brother well enough to spot an imposter? Unless Pree is a Faceless Man, I doubt he could pull that off with Aeron. Victarion sure, but Damphair wouldn't be fooled.

Well impersonation doesn't seem to fit in with their magic as far as we know, but this could be why he's drinking the Shade so heavily. It's unlikely but it's more logical than Euron being able to sail back and forth from the II and SB so quickly at the least.

^ lol, can't say I'm surprised. Though Euron = daario, and Euron = the dusky woman were my favourite crackpots.

Well if Pree really is posing as Euron, he could still be in cahoots with him and perhaps Euron really is posing as Daario. If anything this chapter makes it more likely, actually.
