Better yet don't try at all maybe lol. *shrug* Different breed, different, yet unknown superpowers. Even worse! On Asha, I find her a little stereotypical in both incarnations, but she's just the product of the Ironborn culture. If she doesn't try StrongWomanTM TV kingsmoot, I'm fine with her.

I don't even know how you can already have many reasons to prefer show Euron when he's literally appeared in one scene unless you are insanely biased towards the show which is the impression I am getting.

How he managed to survive that is a fucking miracle. The demands of plot always trumps the demands of logic, especially where certain charicatures characters are concerned.

What's the problem with her characterisation in the books? She is a strong, powerful and intelligent woman. I love her. And I like Yara, as well. I would like to know the reason why you think Asha is like this in the books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRRM is just dull and tries to be low with magic. Only dragons, no reality-bending demigods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it was there that we first saw Ramsay's charisma and genius, where he hypnotized a room full of people wearing leather and chain mail and got them to stand still and watch, while he, shirtless in silk pants, monologued and then let loose the hounds. GRRM would never have been able to come up with such a multi dimensional characterization and deeply moving scene as that. Hey, psychopaths are people too, ok?

And don't forget that Show!Euron was injured near the eye in his scene. I'll laugh so hard if he returns wearing an eye patch, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll praise D&D for giving us such an ingenious reason for Euron to wear an eye patch, well at least one of us will... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL. Well, she made him cry in the last episode, she seems decent in bullying strongwomaning. But her other little brother uncle... she better gouge his other eye, because if he is already injured, then her weak little man father is ahead in harming relatives having agency. Wow, this thread descended quickly... I guess troll-feeding wasn't good for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primalsplit Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Lol Euron's eye is probably not even injured. He conseals a "black eye shining with malice". At least, get your fucking shit together if you're going to spew book hate in the book's own forum. Is this some form of being a hipster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
