What is Eurons weakness?

Delusion. The Ironborn couldn't hold the north what hope do they have of all of Westeros? They are universally loathed by the entire country. Good luck Euron you may be a one-eyed pseudo-porn star pirate wizard but you can't rule half the known world with hopes and dreams.

No, but he can with Dragons ! Hence his evil masterplan. Mwahahahahaaa.

Not that I think it will actually work, mind you, it's just as far as world domination plans, it's just about the only one that's feasible. It certainly is better than Stannis': Go to wall, kill wildlings. Wait for everyone down south to recognize me as their rightful king. Oh wait, noone gives a rat's arse about what's going on up here..huh. Plan B? No such thing.

1) he's delusional

2) he thinks he can conquer regions that are 100x stronger than him

3) he's dumb enough to think Dany would give him her dragons just because she's a woman

4) he's invading castles he can't sustain; that's going to come back to bite him

5) he's overachieving his limits without thinking logically

6) he has no allies

7) the IB have the weakest military strength and they're the poorest

8) his whole goal is dependent on a magic horn

9) he lacks the ability to think long term

10) he can't control his men. If they realise he's not giving them nice, shiny things all hell would break loose

I doubt he doesn't know what he is doing. Winning the kingsmoot, using the dragonhorn, sending Victarion off to meet Daenerys. It is all very calculated. The only problem I have with him is that he is a bit too stereotypically evil. Evil pirate with an eye patch isn't the most creative villain of all time. His association with storms is interesting to me as well. He calls himself the first storm and the last. Daenerys is also known as Daenerys Stormborm. A crackpot theory I have is that the horn isn't used to control dragons. It is used to create storms. He will destroy his fleet along with whatever fleet Daenerys brings and the dragons in a storm as a ritual sacrifice of some kind, maybe to gain powers.

He's classic bipolar affective disorder. When he's manic he's on top of the world. He charismatically owns the Kingsmoot and pulls off one of the most daring Ironborn attacks in centuries. But when he's manic he also has grandiose delusions, i.e. him as King of everything.

But when he's down (or in a "black mood" as he called), he mopes like when Victarion sees him after the shield islands, as well as making cruel and stupid decisions, i.e. the Warlock cannabilism and throwing his Dragon egg overboard.

He didn't have much to go up against did he?

Victarion is as thick as a brick and Asha showed the IB the painful truths. Then Euron comes along and promises them nice, shiny things; dumb people always go for the nice, shiny things instead of the harsh reality

using the dragonhorn, sending Victarion off to meet Daenerys. It is all very calculated.

How exactly? Unless you think he sent Victarion on a wild goose chase but that wouldn't make sense because Euron's whole plan is dependent on the dragons.

It's not calculating to think a Dothraki Khaleesi, who has been conquering cities would just give you her dragons because she's a weak, stupid woman.

The only problem I have with him is that he is a bit too stereotypically evil. Evil pirate with an eye patch isn't the most creative villain of all time.

If you think him being a stereotype villain his is biggest weakness you haven't been paying attention.

We're talking about a man who thinks the poorest, weakest, ill equipped, ill trained kindom of Westeros can invade the stronger, richer, allied kingdoms. The man's delusional and clearly doesn't think things through.

Euron is a very interesting character, his plan isn't really that bad tbh, the Ironborn can only be defeated in the traditional sense by a naval battle, until they are defeated in a naval battle they are untouchable,

Euron has something up his sleeve, Moqqoros' prediction only adds to the fact he'll be a huge player soon.

He claims to have thrown a dragon egg overboard, then we hear about his "eye" hidden under his patch.

I think he sent Victarion knowing that Victarion has animosity towards him. Euron has likely sent some of his own agents (probably the Dusky lady) along with Victarion. Euron is the owner of the horn, he just needs it to be blown in order to tame the dragons. Once he has the dragons, Dany will have to accept his marriage proposal. He will have a large fleet and dragons along with whatever Dany can bring. Kingdoms have been won with less then that. This is assuming the Iron Throne really is his true motivation and he doesn't want the dragons for some other purpose.
