Happy Ent Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 What??? :o Imagine we had a Melisandre POV instead. Davos would just be another scheming, backstabbing opponent, much like maester Cressen. Ambitious, places his children high in Stannis’s hierarchy, upjumped former criminal, illiterate, constantly conspiring Mel’s plans just out of spite – think how unfavourable people like Janos Slynt or Littlefinger appear in Tyrion’s POVs.

I'm not entirely sure seeing Janos Slynt's POV would make him appear more favourable either, it certainly didn't work for Cersei. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadwolf Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Septon MeribaldJust for the sake of arguments.As per his self confessions - Septon Meribald had been a wicked man, before he threw away his shoes. (That might of course be and most probably was exaggeration on his part.)The fact we never witnessed his <many sins> or how much weak his flesh exactly could run, definitely contributes for he is being accepted as a sympathetic personage to all the readers. (Saying nothing about that his wisdom seems to match Maester Aemon*s).I am even afraid that his dog is not so innocent and nice. Dog had reportedly cut the throats of many poor wolves whose only sin was that they had been hungry like wolves. And I happen to be fond of wolves (and dogs).

Datepalm Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 What about Ser Barristan Selmy? I've yet to see anyone openly say that they dislike him on the forums.Actually several people have been ripping on him quite a bit lately...guy goes through kings like they're going out of style, and cares more about having a white cloak than any aspect whatsoever of justice, morality or loyalty.

Wendy the White Fawn Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 So, according to some boarders, the moral of the story is everyone from someone's perspective is a bastard?Works for me, thank the lord you can't see into my head. :uhoh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feardeathbywater Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Most of the Night's Watch grunts seem all right, by the time they finish training. The harper kid turned out to be a prick: but then again, he did get shafted pretty good when they sent him to the wall.I'm sure the Wildings just love them, though.Podrick PayneQuaitheLord Commander Mormont (though plenty of his troops hated him)That guy from the Dornish Marches Jon offers some new glovesAllerasMya StoneGhostEdric Storm (hell, all of Roberts bastards seem all right so far)ShireenBuckethead (Patchface?)SummerGrey WindNymeriaQhorin HalfhandQuentyn MartellSeems like anyone who doesn't stick around long could get off light, as long as they are in no way associated with Harrenhall or King's Landing.Does anyone hate the Blackfish?

Godlikebuthumble Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Hey, Brynden gets enough flack for bullying his nephew for no good reason. Hating on Marty Stus got nothing to do with it. Mya Stone does seem to be quite alright.Davos is imho the only thoroughly decent POV character. And come on, Tommen is one sweet kid. Good thing Cersei was too busy doting over Joffrey...

Guest Other-in-Law Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 He’s says mean things about Jon. Automatic, grade-A hatred.I strongly suspect him of oathbreaking wrt his abandonment of his office of Knight of the Bloody Gate (he even got a formal title, seems quite possible he swore an oath to the Arryns), and therefore of supreme hypocrisy for his attitude toward Jaime's oathbreaking. In fact, he kind of gets that no matter what, for his treason against the Targaryens. Rebels who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

feardeathbywater Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 No, sorry, I hate Hodor a little bit. Not all the time, but he did crack Bran's head pretty good on a door frame when he went running towards the smell of fresh bread. Talk about inconsiderate.

Lasty Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 You like him because you’re in his head.Davos tries to kill Melisandre because he is jealous of the influence she holds over Stannis, and disagrees with her, politically and theologically. Davos is somewhere between religious nutcase and incompetent murderer.I know I shouldn't bite, but didn't Davos try to kill Melisandre because he thought she was responsible for the wildfire that killed his sons?On topic, everyone likes Quorin Halfhand right?
