yeah... show iron islanders are morons. all of them. even asha/yara apparently never knew about who made the largest castle ever beause she claims that she wants the iron islanders to make their mark and they never have
but show euron is an idiot. i think he's dumber than book victarian, who is a simple man with simple goals. book euron is intelligent, driven, manipulative, charismatic, creepy, cruel, arrogant, psychologically dominating, eccentric, intimidating. show euron is a bumkin who killed his bro and laughs about it and we all laugh and have a good time. lol kinslaying
of course, this is what happened.
D&D decided to do this dorne stuff but they were going to take some liberties, so that the show went faster.
it failed.
miserably.
everyone hated dorne.
so back to the drawing board, lets see.... well we can kill dorne in first episode, but remember we sent danerys a bunch of ships so she was ready to leave and go to dorne? well now we don't want dorne so... how about in the first episode of the season we randomly burn all the ships in slaver's bay and then we'll do the iron islander stuff! we can have the plotline about them being all "hey bitch, i made you a bunch of ships, now suck my dick cuz were married now"
GENIUS! and we'll just cut out most of the character development to fit it in and make the characters caricatures of dumb heathens
SOUNDS AMAZING, D
no, you're amazing, D
