OtherFromAnotherMother Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I'm relatively new to the forum (stalker for 2 years, member about a month) so I apologize if this has already been brought up but I was thinking about a POV which could have been interesting. I think it would have been interesting to see a POV from someone in lesser house trying to gain power, gold, influence, etc. The only POVS (not counting Sam or Brienne because their motivations do not appear to be power, gold, influence, etc.) we have are either members of or work for a power house (Stark, Lannister, Martell, Targaryen, etc.). A POV from a Bracken or a maybe a Manderly trying to vie for more could have been fun. Although now that I think about it Dany's storyline kind of fulfills the "return to glory" motive. So maybe this POV I'm thinking of would have just created too much clutter...Also, Connington chapters fulfill this as well so maybe this post is a waste of time, haha! ANYWAY, what POVs do you wish we had/had more of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madhikun Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Anyone other than Cersei. Literally, any other character. Multiple people have told me they almost gave up the series when trying to get through her chapters.I would hope for a POV from Bronn, or a member of one of the many, many hill/mountatin/forest tribes. Bronn's would have been hilarious when Cersei tried to have him killed and the poor guy challenged him. The tribes people could have a run-in with Nymeria or with another major character that would have been a great surprise for the normal POV characters.

Good Guy Garlan Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 In a perfect world, the POV distribution for me would've been as follows:Game: same as they are, no changeClash:New POVs:- Davos- Theon- Jaime (like in the show, Robb drags him around with him instead of leaving him at Riverrun and through his perspective we see the Battle of Oxcross, the Westerlings at the Crag, etc)Storm:New POVs:- Sam- Asha (we'd have the Kingsmoot storyline here, told by Asha's POV)- Cersei (I'd like to get a glimpse at the "real" Cersei, before she went mad because the deaths of Tywin and Joffrey)Feast-Dance (this is a perfect world, so they're one single novel):New POVs:- Arianne- Barristan- BrienneWinds:- Melisandre- Jon Connington- ?????

I loved her last chapter though! I was with the masses flinging dung at her, haha! Just jokes everyone, don't get mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jak Scaletongue Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Robb POV would have been nice! A Hot Pie POV would be...adorable, maybe? Probably not, he's not likely having an easier time than any one else, but it would be a good look into how the common people are dealing with all the strife and wars.A Bronn POV would be EPIC! EPIC I tell you! Can you imagine having had Bronn's POV since we first meet him? EPIC! Except if he's added now, it'll probably be a Prologue or an Epilogue which would be unfortunate. For some reason I don't want that particular bastard to die... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tribes people could have a run-in with Nymeria or with another major character that would have been a great surprise for the normal POV characters.I really like Cersei's POV. I enjoy tying to keep up with his downfall to madness. Knowing that almost everyone at court finds her predictable (at least from what I perceived from the Tyrells, her brothers, Kevan, Varys, LF, her small council), is funny how she disregard everyone and is blind by her ego.I'm with you in Bronn. His chapters will be enjoyable and we could learn about the life of sellswords and soldiers, and their perspective of nobility. Bear Island POVOsha POV Yes, we need a wildling POV. Osha and/or one from somebdoy in Mance's army.Sandor maybeRamsay, oh I would love thatWalder Frey, two capters, first when talking to Cat in GoT, second when he is betrayed.RooseDaarioVarys and LFIllirioMargeMace...Varys, LF, Quaithe, Illyrio, Old Nan will give us too much information. We will be robbed from some of the most important misteries of the series. I'm afraid that, even when it would be really good, an Aemon POV will also be too much a giveaway.The "villains" POV (Sandor, Ramsay, Roose) could be really good, but finding their motives behind their actions will robbed us from the surprise of said actions.Definetely, we need a Tyrell POV (Olenna or Margeary). An Olenna POV could be similar to Catelyn. Someone powerfull in his family, who has a lot of information, but cannot act directly in her family's problems.And please, a Dolorous Edd POV. Imagine the Night's Watch training, the Great Ranging, the Battle in the Fist of the First Men, the wildling attack to the Wall, the Lord Commander election and the climate at Castle Black in the time of LC Jon Snow; told by the cynic and pessimist eye of Dolorous Edd. Also, I want to know how he is dealing with all the spearwives at Long Barrow and how he will react to the Iddles of Marsh coup-de-etat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Syster Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I would love Mormont lady POV, but I think the reason why it's been omitted so far is to keep the whole situation in the Neck a secret. I think a Missandei POV would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I want to know how he is dealing with all the spearwives at Long Barrow and how he will react to the Iddles of Marsh coup-de-etatGiven that we have multiple Martell, Tyrell, Lannister, Greyjoy and Stark POVs, I do think we are lacking one in the Tyrell camp. With the Baratheons, Robert and his brothers are out given the 'No Kings' rule. That said, Davos, Melisandre and Cressen all have at least one POV chapter each. Catelyn is a Tully and Daenerys is a Targaryen - and so, the Tyrells remain the only major family for which we do not really have a POV person (even within their inner circle). Okay, we don't have anyone in the Arryn camp, but that family is so small and now consists of Littlefinger, Sweetrobin and Sansa (plus Harry the Heir) - and Sansa is a POV character.I have to admit that I would also love a Dolorous Edd POV chapter (even one would be fabulous - though not a prologue or epilogue chapter because then he would die at the end of it!). Edd has such a dry, dark wit that it would be great to get inside his head. That said, the greedy person in me would love a Bloodraven POV. For me, he is the most intriguing character in the series and the extent of his knowledge about the events of the present, past and future is so immense that even a couple of chapters inside his head would be intense. And would pay off so much. I know Bloodraven knows far too much to ever be a POV character, but at the same time I think that it would be a great link up with the Dunk and Egg tales to have a character who appears in both as a POV.
