You know what? I have a problem with stories like Game of Thrones. I think it's an excellent show - but the very premise is difficult for me to get into. Because it's all about nobles and royals who start wars because they have temper tantrums. Someone offended my honor? Ooh, I'm going to invade their city and slaughter their kids and take their crown. I demand fealty from all those who claim to love me, you must fight for me! Never mind that I'm demanding all your children go die in my war because someone insulted me, I'm the big bad lord! I deserve for my feelings to be important! The rest of you should support me because I was born to someone who also made similar claims! Never mind that I will never, ever experience what it's like to go hungry or not have a roof over my head while the rest of you have to fight just to survive in our barbaric, backwards-ass kingdom!JarlaxleBaenre said:Any of the characters in Game of Thrones that despise Jaime for killing the Mad King. Given the circumstances, I think he made the right decision.
...yeah, I don't like the concept of royalty or hereditary honors in general.
