Beautiful Balon Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 So It seems that the general opinion that Robert Strong is an evil abomination that must be killed but i don't think that's the case. Compared to Gregor(or many other characters) Robert is practically a saint. Gregor raped, murdered, tortured and looted with abandon making no distinction between man woman child or kin. Robert Strong on the other hand doesn't even poop! And there are many other characters that have done worse than Robert and are admired (Jaime, Janos, Tywin, Bobby B, the hound) So why the hate for Robert Strong?

purple-eyes Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 GRRM apparently hated "Strong" guys. All strong guys died, including three strong bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah.jenice Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Well if he is used as an instrument by Cersei/Qyburn to commit acts of evil, then he should be put down.If Cersei continues to wear her crazy pants, I really don't want her to have control of an undead killing machine.

Ser Hyle Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I'm going with Yes. Although I'm not sure how you kill an animated corpse, especially one that may not have a head. I guess Qyburn would know... but once he divulges, I'd kill him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Cersie and Quyburn are the evil ones, kill them and Robert Strong shouldn't be dangerous(Probably?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abdallah Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Burn him and Qyburn. Robert Strong is Frankenstein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful Balon Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 Burn him and Qyburn. Robert Strong is Frankenstein. Who was driven to evil by the rejection of society and his own creator. No objection to killing Quyburn though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Wraith Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I thought he was dead already.Bingo. Anyway he needs to do some bad stuff in the next book. The we will get Cleganebowl. Believe the Hype! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Writhen Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Yeah, he is basically gonna be Cersei's machine from this point out, as she continues down the road to insanity. Should be Something to See™ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyJAM Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 From what little we know, he's essentially just a machine with no drive or desire. Machines don't deserve anything, they just are. It's entirely plausible that he should be destroyed for the good of the realm, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimJames Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 If he retained Gregor's memories and has free will, then he deserves to die for his crimes.If he retained Gregor's memories but does not have free will, then he deserves to be freed via death because not even the worst monster deserves such restrictive enslavement.If he has free will but none of Gregor's memories, then he is not the same man who murdered Elia and therefore does not deserve to die.If he has neither free will nor Gregor's memories, then he deserves to be freed and given a chance to live his life.

I will nitpick though I don't think that him being Gregor is as clear cut as him having Gregor memories. What if he had Gregor's memories but had the heart of a lamb or on the other hand what if he was a blank slate but had Gregor's bestial drive or anything in between.

Beric Dondarrion was fundimentally as much an "abomination" as Robert Strong, and he was a hero who somehow came across modern ideas on his own. It would be at once heart-wrenching and great-writing if we get a chapter with Robert Strong and learn that he has memories of being Gregor but is internally horrified by his past.

briantw Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 He seems to be an unholy abomination of black/blood magic. Probably best to not leave those lying around if possible, especially when they are controlled by nutcases like Qyburn and Cercei. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
