No one wants to be a footnote in history.

Stannis wants to be an Exon and i don't blame him.

An 'exon'

hmm...

never heard of it. I just looked it up and this is what came up.

"a polynucleotide sequence in a nucleic acid that codes information for protein synthesis and that is copied and spliced together with other such sequences to form messenger RNA "

It's the Pregenitor Gene, the Original sequence in the Genome placed within RNA in the acid.

In Genetic terms its the equalivalent to the dictating body of how the structuring takes place and decides what form this lifeform will take.

A Benchmark, A Decisive entity.

I was a bit...vague with it i suppose but i think the term suits him for nothing else besides his sought after ambition.

The Thread title is amusing.

In the books Stannis became my favorite non-POV character pretty much instantly upon his introduction. The bickering over whether he loved Robert, and whether Jaime is a "Ser," that was all I needed, and he only gets better from there. The show character doesn't overtly contradict the book, and Stephen Dillane is great, but I still can't help but feel they've completely missed the spirit of book Stannis. I hope he ends up king in the end. Or maybe Rickon as king with Shireen as queen.

And yes, Stannis would approve of the thread title. The Iron Throne is his by rights, it's not a question of wanting. We all must do our duty.

Great or small, we must do our duty.

:wub:

I wouldn't be a fan of Rickon and Shireen on the throne, unless they did something. All those people, who have fought and died and for what? Nothing? I'd like to see someone who is activley seeking the throne to claim it.

Besides, Rickon is too wild and Shireen too sweet. Perhaps they'll grow out of it, but it looks to me it's just part of their nature.

Wife does.

And Stannis doesn't do that in the books. I have no f*cking idea why they decided on that. It was painfully stupid.

Don't see the appeal of Stannis Baratheon. From what I've read so far he still seems like an incompetent pillock. But I suppose he's the lesser of two evils.

He goes from nothing to every banner in the stormlands.

He defeated the Iron Born fleet

Held Stormsreach whilst Robert fought his war

Captured Dragonstone from the Targs.

Won a battle against impossible odds

Figured out who was planning to betray him.

How is he incompetent?

P.S None of those are Spoilers unless you haven't got to the first part yet. If that's the case, you really haven't read enough Stan the Man to form an opinion on him yet :-)

No spoilers on what happens in it, but I also must say his part in a certain preview chapter for a certain unreleased book is probably the most badass conversation scene in the series.

I was partially joking about wanting Rickon and Shireen on the throne, but something random like that wouldn't really surprise me :P GRRM enjoys defying expectations. Plus Jon Snow and Dany don't really do much for me, compared to other characters.

That's another thing Stannis got that he didn't like, a crazy wife who hasn't produced any children. I swear, out of everyone Stannis is the one who has suffered more in everything, and never really had his deserved rewards. 

On another note, Robb Stark should've allied with Stannis instead of proclaiming himself king. I can't believe that fool chose to do that, Ned Stark chose to side with Stannis.

He was pushed into a corner politically. He never decided to do that at all and was going to side with Stan the Man (for all the good that'd done him.) Though perhaps to see the North side with Stannis others might have been less willing to join with the other pretenders? I don't know... it's not like the Starks are everybody's favorites outside the North.

A lot of people in the ASOIAF forums say him taking over the Riverlands as King was another blunder. And I can see that, now he had to worry about something outside his main goal. He was responsible for something totally irrelevant.

When the 2012 election campaigns were going in the U.S., I made my facebook profile picture a mock political advertisement with a red-white-and-blue stag and the words "Stannis 2012: Ours is the Fury" :D

To me, Davos's friendship with Stannis is part of the appeal of the character.

I'll take it from here, my loyal Hand.

 

In case anyone hasn't read this yet, you should. It's how one of the most hated Game of Thrones character became King of the Web.

Seems like in the end that's what happened anyway, at least in the books, Stannis' main allies are in the North. Either way, Robb should have chosen Stanis, I don't know if he knew or not, or at least he should have waited instead throwing himself into war immediately. 

 

I agree with the ASOIAF forums, the Riverlands were an extra burden to worry about, and it seems to be like the area where everyone is always killing each other. I think trying to hold a warzone of said problems was impossible from the start. Either way, I think Robb made a lot of stupid decisions, you can't really blame Roose Bolton for wanting out, even though I think he's an animal for what he did. Had he sided with Stannis, both might have had better luck with King's Landing. 

 

Either way, that's done, Robb is finished, if you ask me that leaves Stannis as the only one with any sense left. I don't really like Daenerys, and I think she's too arrogant anyway. 

 

Best part about Stannis in my opinion is that he wants to rid the seven kingdoms from all sorts of schemers like the Lannisters, jackasses like Roose Bolton, that old geezer Walder Frey, Varys and Littlefinger. The scheming between those to bastards is what started it all in the first place, would do good if both of them got hanged.

The only reason they've sided with him is because they see no other choice. They too have been backed into a corner and still feel loyal to the Starks. If Robb sided with Renly, it would have been the better option.

 

The shadow baby is a variable no one could have guessed. It's Stannis' "Mule" if you like.

 

Stannis as the only one with any sense left. I don't really like Daenerys, and I think she's too arrogant anyway.

 

Stan Stan and Dany? Yes, she is arrogant, but what happened in Mereen serves as a lesson. That's why I think Martin wrote the whole knot anyway, to teach her what it means to rule. If she went straight to Westeros, though, she would have won anyway. Now that Stannis had time, they might fight with equal numbers.

 

Except Dragons.

 

No one f*cks with Dragons.

He does seem to prefer to whole 'no bs' policy, but that idealism will get him killed. Politics requires scheming, and with it, schemers. His saving grace is that he too knows how to scheme and isn't such a dullard as Stark and Dany in the political department. He knows the game well, perhaps not as well as Tywin, Tyrion and the other top schemers, but well enough to survive at least.
