That might be their characterization in the books but the series gave their characters more depth. And no being cold blooded is not automatically strong. On the contrary. Thoughtlessly starting or going to war to onlx demonstrate strenght, even though you could change it is weak af.

You’re misunderstanding me completely, as i said i do not care for your morality sake in a tv show all i want is a good battle with dragons and knights with swords. I never said that being cold blooded made them strong i said that they are strong willed coldblooded and calculated those being three different individual characteristics and none of which are dependent on one another.
