#im pretty convinced that if Oberyn weren't so integral to the plot of season 4#no one from Dorne would ever have been in the show#going back through season 5 onward with the Dorne plot#its obvious that the only reason it exists is beacuse Oberyn was such a major character that they knew they had to do something#with the people he left behind#but beacuse they had no interest they just wrote it however they wanted with zero interest in the actual characters#im 100% willing to bet if they could have gotten away with writing Oberyn Martell out of season 4 they would have#beacuse they clearly have zero interest in his family or people or country#and how badly it was handled after shows they dont care about Oberyns actions in the first place#im not saying it was racist fueled#but it sure feels pretty sus that the only kingdom in Westeros with prominently darker skin#are ultimately portrayed as evil snakey bad people who only care for blood sex and violence#when no others series of characters were as mishandled as Ellaria the sand snakes and the remaining Martells#like i know the meme of dragon lady bad#but like#shes one white woman who went out of character at the very last second of the show#they spent seasons 5 through 8 purposely portraying Ellaria and the Sand Snakes as despicable blood thristy women#and made Doran a complete idiot who literally does the exact opposite of everything he did in the books#like#that is way worse then whatever people complained about dragon lady bad#im so convinced they probably wished they could have written Oberyn out so they could avoid all this Dorne storylines#but George RR Martin was still consulting and assisting with writinf for the show in season 4 so they couldnt get away with it#guys its 4am#i havent written more then a few paragraphs all day but ive also spent all day engrossed in GoT meta
