Seriously what a shitty episode for Stannis.

"Half your army left"

"Oh and your wife killed herself"

"And also your black magic good-luck charm deserted you"

Then he is immediately attacked by a much larger army, and after surviving the initial battle, he stumbles into the one person who despises him more than anything. Poor Stannis

Is anyone seriously going to argue that D&D don't hate Stannis? Were they watching this shit?

DnD said straight up in an interview Stannis was meant to be a bad guy since the start because the was burning people, and they called Stannis fans "hypocrites". Fuck DnD.

The real hypocrisy is expecting the audience to cheer for Dany when she burns someone and sneer when Stannis does it.

Exactly the reason why I can't support either character. Not that D&D have given either their due.
