She believes only he will be the one to unite the people and deliver the world from such evil.
I do not believe at all that she believes he is truly the one to save the world. I feel like she's appeased, pacified and brainwashed him just enough to use him as a means to an end. Telling him he is the one true king and all that good **** to do what's currently needed.
I feel when the time is right she's going to end up sacrificing Stannis for whoever she (who the lord of the light chooses) truly wants to lead.
I mean just going off where her religion started, where she's from, and where Stannis from you'd think she'd be looking for a Taragreyon and not a Baratheon who's brother took the throne form the mad king.
He's not being played honestly. he knows/thinks he should be King. if anything she's stuck on him and loyal to stannis. she has never steered him wrong. or lied to him.
It's a long con.
The unsullied again are out numbered and not really in a setting where they can flourish fighting on top of steps. and a crowded stadium.
If your soldiers can't handle assassins rocking gold masks in the fighting pit then they are what they are.
I'm not ignoring this was in a sense another ambush and they probably never thought such a bold attempt would be made hence them not needing a lot of the unsullied but from what we saw before they got surrounded the unsullied don't even look like good fighters individually. More like a strength in numbers group.
She only bought 8000 unsullied
Bought? I thought she freed them all and then they all chose to willingly serve as her army?
but also remember not all the unsullied are veteran fighters, some of them were just boys still in training...
I would expect the young ones are still in training and aren't forced to be on the front lines in dangerous situations like that.
she doesn't have the biggest army in the show. I think technically the tyrells do right now.
It's been a while. Granted they never had to use their army but I don't really remember the Tyrells having the biggest army but given other armies have taken losses that probably is the case
as it stands without the dragons she sort of doesn't stand a chance in Westeros by herself.
That been clear to me. I've been implying that by pointing how soft the unsullied have gotten.
What Dany needs is better war council. Jorah gonna die, other dude already dead. Tyrion right now is basically an adviser on everything (politics, society, money, army) but she's going to need a specialist and I don't think that's Daario.
She need to get that Redbeard wildling to bend the knee.
Jamie a wasted character? What? Dude is THE most redeeming character in the show. Good guy King Slayer.
Still can't wait until he dies.
I want to see him beaten and bloody in front of Rickon, Sansa, Arya, and Bran confessing his sins and begging for forgiveness right before Bran says "the North remembers" and sentences him to torture where he loses his legs. Actually no, I hope their wolves take his legs. Then they rename him Stumpy the Kingslayer. Then when reunited with Tyrion somebody cracks a joke about Tyrion being taller.
I say this knowing nothing of the future but just with the fact that GRRM vilified him to start then slowly redeemed him over time to the point ppl actually like this dude a lot. I want it to reach that peak point right before they take it all away from Jamie and he gets what he deserves.
