      You're mistaken, I'm afraid. 'Women don't rule, as a rule'- that *is* largely true, however, the world of Westeros is often male-preference, but *not* male-only inheritance- it's why Jon would be in line before Viserys (had he lived) *&* Dany; as a deceased heir's children come before their siblings, regardless of gender- if fAegon were really Rhaegar's elder son (I don't believe he is), he would come before Jon & Dany, as would Rhaenys, had she lived.
      That's why the idea of a marriage alliance between Jon & Dany makes sense- like it 'theoretically' made sense for Mary of Scots, to marry Lord Darnley; they *both* had a claim to the thrones of Scotland & England, & the purpose of their marriage was to strengthen their claim jointly. We know why things went south with Mary & Darnley though...
      Sansa is Ned's eldest legitimate child- she comes before Bran & Rickon, in terms of inheritance, despite them being sons.
      Stannis does care about the law & customs; turning a High Lord's daughter into a hostage would be a gross violation & not wise.
      Stannis' daughter is his heir- & he's *still* married - I think it unlikely (but not entirely out-of-keeping with his character, tbh) that he'd be foolish enough to antagonise his hard-won Northern allies.
      However, this flaw might be what brings him down in the books.

      The thing is, I think you’re applying too much real-world history.
      The question of inheritance with the Iron Throne is decidedly more murky, on gender inheritance (due to the previous civil wars) - however, it *is* far clearer everywhere else in Westeros.
      It’s been established (at least in the books) that seniority comes *before* gender- in the North, for example, Alys Karstark, sister & daughter of the previous lords of Karhold, comes before her uncle/ great-uncle, whatever he was, that was trying to marry her to his son- in order to take power.

    I mean he's gonna win it in the books for sure. For one, he can't piss off his army by listening to Melisandre and burning Shireen because neither of them are even with him at the moment (and because he doesn't even believe in Melisandre's religion he's an atheist who just finds her narrative useful and also because he's given orders that should he die, Shireen will be his lawful heir and that his army is to continue the fight in her name). Second, basically everybody on Ramsay's side is just looking for an opportunity to kill him and his dad and have pretty much said that they're going to. Wyman Manderly seems to have his own power play going on by sending Davos to find Rickon. And also because Ramsay, in the books, is kind of a little bitch. Like, the show makes him out to be this terrifying and capable villain but in the books, he's insane yeah sure, but he's actually kind of a dumbass. Like, he's not really good at anything apart from torturing people. He isn't that strong of a fighter and he has literally never won a battle in his life and now he's going up against literally the greatest living military commander on the fucking planet.

It also would've been interesting because both characters would've been built up as likable characters and when the fighting starts between the two, we would be rooting for both sides which would make the conflict very suspenseful and tense.

    Well I think that Stannis would have found a way to defeat the dragons because even that madgirl Cersei wounded the dragon with only one scorpion I think Stannis would have mass produced ballista for at least defence of the capital and he could have easily defeated the Dothraki as he had veteran troops, he was military genius, he wouldnt give up even if he was defeated in the field by them because he is stubborn, he would always had the option to retreat to the castles and walled cities and just starve them because if they start pillaging the countryside they would loose any little support they have Dothraki are just undisciplined savages, they are predictable in battle, lack armor, lack siege equipment, foot soliders and most importantly they are seen as foreign invaders. If we compare them with Mongols they are lacking in every single thing I just said and even the Mongols only managed to rule conquered people because they exterminated the population which I think Danny would never allow and even then Mongol Empire didnt last that long. If we compare Danny with Aegon the Conqueror she is in so different position to him because he had Valiriyan army, secure base of operations (Dragonstone) in Westeros, element of surprise and many kindoms and hatted king Harren. And now lets be honest its STANNIS THE MANNIS we are talking about! ITS HIS DUTY!

    • @e.v4892
      @e.v4892 5 років тому +11

      Technically, even if they met in an open field at this point Stannis would have a better hand (excluding the dragons, of course). Between all the armies of Westerns, the Unsullied would eventually get downed. And in a fight between the Dothraki and the Knights of the Vale (plus other nights) I'd put the Knights over them because they have armor; fights would devolve into that scene from S1 where Jorah bodies a Dothraki warrior because they can't pierce his armor. That leaves the dragons as the ace in the hole for Dany, and as you've pointed out, Stannis likely would've mass produced the ballista, at least to the extent that Drogon (with Dany in tow) would get shot down.
      That said, that leaves him in a difficult position for the Long Night. Without dragons, they're at a serious disadvantage. However, at this point I think Melisandre (and perhaps some other red priests) would show their worth. The end result would be a pyrrhic victory, or close to it, with the Mannis winning the day.

      If they escaped with Kevan Lannister the Tyrells will be an enemy of Cersei along with Kevan who will try to unite the westerlands against Cersei and Randyll would think twice about betraying the tyrells now when they still have heirs and Kevan Lannister would testify against Cersei , she would join up with Danaerys because the tyrells were always allies with the Targaryens now the tyrells have 80,000 plus men and half of the Lannister forces (thanks to Kevan) so Cersei would think twice about attacking Highgarden and that is an addition to the army of the living , there would be no shortage of food for the north or danaerys seeing as the Tyrells still have their food and gold. With the plot armor in season 8, lets say Kevan and Loras would die but Olenna and Margaery survive along with lets say a quarter of their army intact which makes the sack of kings landing easier. Margaery will become lady Paramount of Highgarden, maybe even marry Bronn or Robin. I probably sucked at explaining and there may be lot of things wrong with it but this is my answer to you sorry if it was really long.

      No one would crown Rickon as King in the North. The North know that Jon won the Battle of the Bastards. Jon was crowned because he was the one who avenged the Starks.

      Jon would never accept the crown and steal his brother's birthright if he was still alive. The northern lords would never accept a bastard when there is a legitimate son of Ned Stark. Every Northern lord would rally to Rickon Stark, in the books Manderly is planning his whole Northern Conspiracy around Rickon being alive. Regardless of that there have been plenty of times where kings were crowned for doing nothing but being of the right bloodline.

      Roleplayer 1988 The Battle of Ice is inspired by the real-world Battle on the Ice from the 13th century where the Slavs defeated a much larger and better armed German force by luring them onto an ice lake, causing a large portion of the German force to fall through the ice.

      I think Stannis will lose in the books as well. They got past the books in the show sure, but that was right after they got past. Surely GRRM would have known the outcome of the battle and so D&D would too. I think what's going to happen is Stannis will lose but weaken the Boltons to the point where resurrected Jon Snow with his Wildling army, Rickon with an army from Skagos and Wyman Manderly working as a spy unite to defeat Ramsay. I reckon Stannis will manage to kill Roose.

So when will Robert be able to go to Dragonstone? He won't! He would head to King's Landing. With Rhaegar abandoning his Mad Father that would make King's Landing vulnerable.

      @The_Custos 6 років тому +12

      I see her as the villain. Like communists she claims to do it to free the people and break what was, but let's look at this way:
      Would the roasted Lannisters soldiers see her as a villain?
      What about the executed Tarlys?
      What about all now under threat from her dragons and armies?
      Has she released a terrifying army of foreign savages upon Westeros?
      Does she threaten to kill people all the time?
      Does she have a shred of honour?
      Historically, who does she copy?
      With her communist ideas (with her on top of course) and foreign army there to conquer she is doubly comparable to the Soviets invading Europe. They too used Asian troops and were notorious rapists.
      An even weirder parallel to communism, mass executing the masters meant she exterminated the upper class. Those that just happened to be literate, educated, connected, trained to lead, and economically powerful in that society. The Khmer Rouge did the exact same thing. They removed all opponents, the literate and the upper classes just like the masters, with mass executions.
      What did it leave leftover? Unemployed and her loyal slave soldiers. Just like communism post revolution. You are one of the communist lackeys, her soldier, or one the many suffering common people.
      Really similar to a communist despot, acting the same way as multiple murderous communist regimes, the truth is plain.
      She is the villain. From multiple angles she is the villain.

Now not to say that Valemen are bad soldiers. They are one of the best actually, but lets be honest here, Most of them haven't seen real fighting since Robert's Rebellion. Not to mention that they don't really love Littlefinger and if he tries to lead them on a suicide attack against the man who by right is their king, there might be a mutiny. On the second case, I don't believe that Stannis would be easily fooled by Baelish. He knows what he is, Served with him for many years, and has his suspicions and reports on him. As a matter of fact Stannis might just execute him head on as he intends to clean the court of Abominations.

    The moment Melisandre tells them to burn the weirwood trees, the North will never support Stannis. Sansa would also probably tell Stannis to f*** off since she's been used by everyone else. Some of the northern lords didn't seem to care about her anyway. The Gloves didn't and the Mormonts didn't. They all chose Jon over her.
    No one in Westeros wanted Stannis on the throne, even over the Lannisters, and the Stormlands only joined him because Renly was dead. Most of it was because of his new god that involved burning people alive, not to mention people defend their religion viciously. Another reason was because he wasn't good at making friends and was too regid about rules.
    The Tyrells, Dorne and the Iron Islands would still have joined Daenerys. The Tyrells became Stannis would have punished them and because of Cersei, the Martells because they are loyal to the Targaryens and the Iron Islands because Yara and Theon wanted to keep Euron from getting her. Between her Unsullied, Dothraki, her allies and dragons, Stannis wouldn't be keeping the throne for long. Euron certainly wouldn't join him since he wants the throne for himself and Daenerys would have the larger army, plus dragons.
    With Jon, how sure are we that Melisandre was actually the one to bring him back? Nothing happened until his body was alone with Ghost and the Starks's fates seemed to be tied to their direwolves. It could be a magic thing that Jon can't stay dead as long as Ghost lives. Jon is truly alive, unlike Beric, as he does eat, sleep, breathe and his heart does beat. Beric does none of that.

      Unlikely- Cersei is monstrous; she hated other females from the time of her childhood (she always thought everyone was trying to 'come between her & Jaime' [this scenario actually benefits *Jaime* as much as Tyrion, because with the enforced distance from the toxic Cersei- had it been made to stick, maybe Jaime wouldn't be the d*ck we meet in Books 1-3]).
      She still likely gets the prophecy from Maggy (which means she still kills poor Melara)- & she's really just up sh*t's ditch with her mother surviving, because *she* was keeping her & Jaime apart after she'd caught them 'playing' sometime around her pregnancy with Tyrion.
      Cersei had every reason to be secretly grateful her mother died- yes, she hates Tyrion, but as much as a prophetic figure of *danger* to her, as an ugly dwarf.
      I doubt she really hates him for 'killing' Joanna- part of her might think she *has* to, like she can't address the relief child-her felt for her mother not surviving Tyrion's birth.
      On Tywin... he loves his wife, but he's a very proud man & in this pseudo-medieval world; misfortune, illness or deformity was often attributed to sins, or 'demons'- Aerys declared that Tywin's beautiful wife had been taken from him, & he was given a dwarf for a son, to 'teach him humility'- in the real world, pride's a great sin- & the Lannisters do refer to themselves as 'proud lions', so maybe there's a correlation.
      I think a surviving Joanna might have mitigated the cruelty - Tyrion's favourite uncle, Gerion was kind to him- as was Jaime, but that didn't mitigate any of the other cruelty, so... I think Joanna's greatest impact would have been if she had seen Tyrion's wit & intelligence from an early age, & helped Tywin see it, rather than his just dismissing it as, 'low cunning'- & actually given him positive reinforcement.
      On the flip side, we all just *assume* Joanna would love him, no matter what- 'because he's a Lannister' or because he's her son - how much worse would things be if she survived, & hated him?

  • @jackbarnes7432

    I personally don't think that Daenerys would've been able to defeat Stannis if he took the Iron Throne, and I think my reasoning is quite simple, Season 7 showed us that Daenerys' dragons are far from invincible. A single ballista shot, fired by a sellsword, almost succeded in killing Drogon, her largest and most powerful dragon. Given ample warning, Stannis would've installed dozens, if not hundreds of these around King's Landing and Storm's End, and manned them with his best marksmen. He also would've filled his army with a bunch of mobile versions as seen in the show. If Daenerys' dragons flew within a mile of Stannis' army, or a stronghold held by Stannis, they would be shot down and killed instantly. Without her dragons, Stannis' military expertise would quickly see the destruction of her entire army and, well, most likely Daenerys herself.

    • @OcarinaSapphr-
      @OcarinaSapphr- 5 років тому +2

      Thing is, show-dragons don't match up with book-dragons; yes, with enough firepower, relentlessly deployed, it *could* work, but the time to build & even transport them (& transport the materials), & people to man them in the numbers needed, would have to be taken into consideration (show never bothered with that, of course). The dragons of the books would need far more to be taken down than the show ones did; maybe, just maybe, I can buy Viserion's death- it's an ice-spear, maybe there's some 'magic' that cancels out dragon magic.
      However, Rhaegal's death I *do not* buy: for a start, dragonscale is said to be so strong in canon, that naturally shed scales were collected & made into armour- it's specifically said that *even* the underbelly, which most assume would be a weak spot (possibly from stories) is almost as hard as the upper scales, & they only get harder over time.
      The reason Meraxes was successfully killed in Dorne, was because it was hit in the eye; one of the few *genuinely* weak spots, but so small a target that chances of hitting it were infinitesimal, but that one in a million shot was all the Dornish needed.
      I will agree that the ballistas/ scorpions *could* work, on the walls of the city... but on moving ships, with the kind of torsion-power they would need? Hell no.

      I am aware how the dragons work in the books, and how ridiculous Rhaegal's death was. I wrote my comment before Season 8 even came out.
      That being said, Meraxes was at least a century old during Aegon's attempted conquest of Dorne. Daenerys' dragons weren't that old, barely 6 or 7 years of age. I think it's reasonable to assume dragonscales on young dragons aren't quite as 'hardened' as they would be on a century old dragon. As such, I'm not fully on board with this narrative that Qyburn's scorpions shouldn't of been able a serious threat to Dany's dragons.

      The Manderleys and the Freys are at each other's throats. And they were both sent forth from Winterfell to do battle with Stannis. Lord Manderley told Davos that he's gonna betray the Boltons, and he has a sizable force. Stannis has a plan to defeat the cavalry force, he said he's gonna turn the ground to their Advantage, implying that he's gonna lure them onto the fished out lake full of holes and slaughter them. The main problem would be actually laying siege to the Castle after the battle of Ice.
