Game of Thrones, red pill analysis?
04-09-2014, 10:04 AM
I've done a few mini red pill comments of the show and books in other posts.
My main problem in the show is with the portrayal of Stannis and Dany.
Stannis: He may not be attractive to many here looking for the wild life, and bedding many attractive women, but personally I do not think that is all there is for every life [though I want it for my own life]. His life is driven by duty - to the extent that he is doing something all in that he does not even want to do, but HAS to out of honor. In the show he is made to look greedy, unattractive, and a puppet and bitch to the red woman. He is not. He is unsmiling, and unbreaking. His unwavering sense of honor might be his breaking point, but he is not going to go down like Ned Stark, because he is honorable in a psychotic way, as opposed to Ned who was honorable in a very nice guy/non confrontational way.
My crazy theory: The red woman says he is the hero Azor Ahai reborn, and she has seen him in her fires, battling with the White Walkers [Others]. Funny thing though, she never sees which side he fights FOR. Stannis learns the secret of the White Walkers, and leads their army south of the wall, and fights Dany's dragons. Boom.
Dany: A spoiled bitch with a very rough childhood and a history of molestation while young, from her own brother. Loves the bad boys, and the rough sex. Tries to pretend to be a liberator, but is nothing but a spoiled girl, with tons of beta orbiters, in way over her head. She will still get out of her mess because she has Dragons, but more importantly because of three experienced and intelligent men: Tyrion, Barristan, Victarion Greyjoy, Jorah.
She is possibly a pawn in the plans of the ultimate wildcard: Euron Greyjoy: The ultimate dark triad alpha. He is too "bad" to become the ultimate victor, even in a red pill book series as this.
Favorite characters knowing the books:
Petyr Baelish - classic oneitis/beta to red pill/alpha story. Also the mother fucked him over...so he's gonna bone the much younger and hotter daughter. And this time without the oneitis. Fuck yeah. He also reminds me of one of my best friends...yes a machiavellian.
Jaime Lannister - he is actually not a conventional "alpha". Even though all the girls want him, he has oneitis for his sister, who is banging everyone. But he is the misunderstood man, with honor in his own way.
Tyrion: probably the character with the most plot armor in the series, being Martin's favorite. Many book reading nerds accuse Tyrion of being a rapist because he will get really wasted in book 5? and bone an actual Prostitute in Essos under "sketchy" circumstances. He's a fucking black out drunk DWARF fucking a whore...please. He does go down into the mental dumps for a while, but he rises out. Has not let all his physical disadvantages stop him, and though he self medicates with alcohol, I think we can allow him that.
Varys: I don't even want to spoil the long game he's playing. The mysterious Varys plot starts much before the first book. I'll give a little away on my theory: He's been plotting with Illyrio Mopatis from Pentos. He is a secret Targaryan/ Blackfyre.
Arya: She's a psycho killer child, and joins an ancient order of assasins [who are trying to kill all the dragons is my theory]. After all she's gone through, she doesn't mope, she goes and does something. If feminists could take even 5% advice from her, they'd be worth something.

Other comments:
Jorah: The show portrayal doesn't work because Ian Glenn is attractive, and tall, and has a deep voice girls would go crazy for. He is an averagely attractive hairy bear man in the books, and has always been a sucker for women. His whole troubles started when he spent all his money on his first wife, who left him. He seems to not have learned, because he gave up his only chance of returning home by saving Dany. Hopefully his time spent with Tyrion will teach him something. But after being a white knight for so long..he'll probably die an "honorable death" for his bitch Queen.
Bran Stark and The three eyed crow [aka Brendyn Rivers, aka Bloddraven - the 120 year old Targaryan great bastard]: These guys are essentially the fucking Gods of the universe...or the closest to them. Please read the short stories -Tales of Dunk and Egg, set 100 years before the first book.\n
Also, Tywin Lannister: Best book to show transfer. Charles Dance is an alpha IRL too. All the young hotties from the show talk about how they swoon every time he enters the room.
Much and more to say.
I'll end the rambling with a quote from another wild psycho, Ramsay Bolton: "If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention."
Anyways, total psychos never truly win, it's the calm cold ones, like Tywin Lannister, or Roose Bolton, who control things.
You don't get there till you get there
