Re: Game of Thrones (TV Discussion | SPOILERS)
Here is the problem guys. For some reason people think Stannis is supposed to be a good guy.
If that's what he is in the books fine. But in the show he is CLEARLY not a good guy. He is horrible human being. Like seriously, this entire time, he's THE WORST.
Every move Stannis has made has been with one single objective. His ass on the iron throne. That is his all consuming need. And he will sacrifice anything and everything to get it, because he thinks he is supposed to be the captial K, King. He's allied himself with dark magic because he thinks it can help him, been willing to sacrifice his entire army to take King's Landing despite having been beat AND is willing to sacrifice his entire army to take Winterfell. I mean he launched a freaking demon sex monster to kill his brother cause the dude also wanted to be king.
By this point he is pretty desperate. Like really. He might be blinded by desire for the throne, but he's not an idiot. he knows they can't make it with what they have now, but he WILL NOT stop. Absolutely not. Even the thought of turning back disgusts him. He's lost too many battles already. So he listens to the witch in his ear, and makes another sacrifice in the name of his throne. It's not easy, it's not fair, but if it's what it takes to get him to the throne, then he'll make it.
As you said Doc, his primary trait is "Does not compromise". Well, his ass is going on that throne. No matter the cost.
