re: Almost 3 Hours of The One True King - Stannis the Mannis!!!

I don't get the Stannis love

Neither do I. I'm a Hodor and from the show he just seems like he does whatever red titty witch says.

i'm a hodor, but i've talked to several book readers who like stannis more in the books.

i think he's still stoic and crap but more of a badass maybe?

i dig him. i dig davos more.

Where do I begin?

1) He's the one, true king. The ONLY character with a rightful claim to the Iron Throne.
2) He would be a great ruler. He's wise and fair. He's strong and just. He's also surrounded by perhaps the wisest confidants in the show, and yes, that includes Melisandre, as she is the only one who has foreseen the battle with the WW that's coming.
3) Stannis the Mannis is the ONLY one who came to aid the Wall in it's greatest time of need. He knows who the true enemy in Westeros is, and he is positioning himself to a. Save the Wall/North and then b. Fight against the WW.


Stannis Baratheon should be everyone's favorite character and the one people view as the hero, but people don't like him because he's stoic and serious. Jump on the One, True King's Bandwagon before it's too late.

Knew someone would say this, but the fact is that the Targs were conquerors themselves and had no right to sit on an iron throne and rule all of Westeros either. They were overthrown by Robert, and he established a new ruling line. Thus, upon Robert's death, Stannis is the ONLY person who should rightfully sit on the throne.

he has as much right until Gendry gets legitimized

Sure, I guess? I mean, Robert has like a hundred bastards running around, so they would have a claim if they were legitimized, but none are, soooo...

He just does whatever his advisors tell him to do. That doesn't make him anymore a leader than Tommen

Sounds like you want Mellisadre as the ruler, not stannis

Gendry is the oldest though and not seeing him since he set sail is going to come back into play IMO.

You might know more than me because you read but I don't see the Gendry storyline coming back

Gendry in the show is actually a composite character - so there is no way to tell, at this point, which way it is going to break.
