Jojosh Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 what good qualities does Stannis have besides his order hard on. I mean there's not much to paint him in a good light in asos let alone wipe away all the bad stuff he doesPretty funny how he's so attached to Mel now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stannis the Wight Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I wouldn't be too worried, I said it in the other thread so I will say it here as well:He is a broken man at this point. Also he has had 5 minutes of total screen-time so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinkie Baelish Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 They're certainly making Stannis a more passionate sort of character.Given the vision in the flames of a man being consumed by his own crown, or metaphorically speaking, his own desire for power, I can see why they chose to portray him as such. But yeah, like you said, cold, grouchy Stannis is pure win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W.Kane Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 yeah , they have ruined Stannis character . I think we can now consider the series writers , the Stannis official hatters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayard Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Yes, they are doing bad things to his character.... but let's just wait until Mel fetches Gendry, when he will have a huge decision to make: to kill an innocent. That will be the deciding factor for Stannis... D&D don't like him, but there are other characters they don't like and they didn't go out of their way to destroy them on screen.

W.Kane Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Is it just me or is this version of Stannis terrible? He seems like a whiny kid trying to get some from Meli. Not impressed. you are not alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scurvy Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Stannis and Cat are too "adult" for the show. They like the tweens best and the whores and whoremongers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-Ro Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 They had best not change his character any more then they have. I would be upsett and disappointed that one if the deepest/most complex characters was ruined. That scene with him was just meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W.Kane Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Stannis and Cat are too "adult" for the show. They like the tweens best and the whores and whoremongers.this is HBO , of course they love whores and whoremongers more than deep and complicated characters like Stannis and Cat. E-RoThey had beat not change his character any more then they have. I would be upsett and disappointed that one if the deepest/most complex characters was ruined. That scene with him was just meh.it is sad indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin king Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Call me strange, but I actually prefered the Stannis in that scene to the one we usually see in the books. Book Stannis is such a hypocrite, he pretends everything is about duty and birthrights, when it's clear that he lusts for power just as much as any other would be king. The Stannis we saw in episode 3 seemed a lot more honest and human. He has his desires just like any other man, and doesn't try to disgusise them under nobler motives.

aFeastForDragons Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Worst scene they have done in the show so far. Complete character assassination and really out of place.Stannis sounded like a drunk trying desperately to get laid.It looked like a B-side take aswell. You can see Mel smirking the whole time.

Kaitscralt Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I like book Stannis, and I like show Stannis.Show Stannis is just lonelier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sp_ey_der Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Maybe this is how Davos will be shown as a character being true to his king. Maybe he'll slap Stannis out of what he's become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aFeastForDragons Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Why was Mel Smirking through the entire scene. It looked like the whole scene was thrown together last minute and they just glued together some bad takes.Cat first and now Stannis. At this rate they are going to have Joffery tell Sansa how sorry he is for everything he's done to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostinwesteros Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Well, since I'm definitely a fan of Stannis, I loved the scene! But, in terms of the show, and setting my prejudice aside, I did think it diminished him too much. However, it was a great portrait of continuing depression following his loss at BoBB. Thought Mel (of whom I'm not a fan, either) did a terrific job of emerging as the most powerful director of Stannis' campaign at this point. But.....Please don't let her hurt Gendry, please don't let her hurt Gendry, please don't let her hurt Gendry.................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaHaBone Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I get the impression HBO is trying to find a "sexier" way to get Stannis to go to the Wall,instead of Davos learning to read.And yeah, he was way out of character, even for TV Stannis. Even Melisandre was acting out of character. I guess i should give HBO credit for not having a scene where they are straight up going at it.

MaHaBone Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 But.....Please don't let her hurt Gendry, please don't let her hurt Gendry, please don't let her hurt Gendry....................I have a felling Gendry is toast. Why else would Mel chase down the Brotherhood without Banners? Especially after her speech about sacrificing king's blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, because it's the Lawful thing to do and he will break before he bends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
