That's been a lot of peoples complaints about Stannis is they're writing him to be a total knob.
He is a rigid, unflexible hardened dude...he's not a conventional hero type...but he believes he's just and that's what makes him so magnetic.
Even though it's hinted at that something happened between Mel and him in the books (resulting in the shadow babies) he would never be chasing her
around and groveling, begging for ass.
He would never have burned dudes for "heresy" like he did at the beginning of the season...he's not some religious zealot...that guy he burned was his
brother in law that was his 'hand of the king' while Davos was locked up and he burned him for treason in the books...because the dude tried making
peace behind his back with the Lannister after the Blackwater.
Then when he rides up they have some villain type music playing lol, making it seem like he's breaking up peace talks.
His stuff from here on in the story is fucking golden though so hopefully they don't muck it up too much. |
