Need asoiaf fans to be disabused from the notion that anyone “deserves” the Iron Throne. Not a single person deserves it, doesn’t matter how good they are. And I’d take it a step further and say that no one deserves to be king or queen or lord. We shouldn’t be equating kingship/queenship with a happy ending. This series does so much to criticize this awful system so it’s particularly jarring that people will go “I want my fave to get their happy ending and sit on the iron throne”. That’s…kind of antithetical to what the series has shown us so far I think.
So I'd be a big stinky liar if I said I didn't have at least some level of bone to pick with the PriMal fight but I'll be damned if I'm not so, so happy that we got something new and interesting to send off SB rather than just fuckin' Fatty with a coat of spray paint.
So handsome! So regal! Somebody get the boy a can of RAID he's havin a bad time.
