Craving Peaches Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 Sometimes I think people come up with a theory and then cherry pick and twist the text to make it fit their theory, rather than looking at the text, finding clues and coming up with one.

Yes, and again, it’s special snowflake syndrome. People want to find that thing that no one else did, 3 decades on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what we do. It's easy too because when a character says something that supports our position then it's confirmation and when they say something to contradict it they don't know what they're talking about or are actively lying to themselves or in some cases deliberately ignoring facts that are right in front of their faces and at the forefront of their minds.

Anyone who doesn't share the one united Westeros vision of Mannis must be burned. I've been a fan of the guy ever since "It's a lie. Take it out!" in reference to the love he had for his brother but the writing is on the wall for the Mannis, isn't it? What I'm hoping for is a bit of glory and brilliance in his northern campaign, something that asserts his place as acknowledged leading Westerosi general, but I won't be able to stay with him once he torches Shireen so I'm hoping that's one of his last acts.

But kill not for pleasure of killing, and seven times never kill Mannis! The Law of the Jungle aside, I agree with your take here, I wanna see him go out in a blaze of glory.
