Murdered his beloved daughter so he could invoke the unholy blood magic that would give him the power to claim Westeros for himself and seize the Iron Throne?

And then all it actually did was melt some snow and then his squad got btfo like an episode later?

Joke character.

Also, he looks like Toby from The Office.

I don't remember that

I do remember him saying this

"It may be that we shall lose this battle," the king said grimly. "In Braavos you may hear that I am dead. It may even be true. You shall find my sellswords nonetheless." The knight hesitated. "Your Grace, if you are dead - " " - you will avenge my death,and seat my daughter on the Iron Throne. Or die in the attempt."

No, probably happened after I stopped watching.

That show made him one of the least likeable characters in it.

I saw Stephen Dillane in the HBO miniseries John Adams first so every time I see Stannis I see Thomas Jefferson. There's probably a joke to be made somehow.

Nope. My guess is that GRRM plans to have him go crazy and sack King's Landing, and D&D just clumsily gave all that to Dany instead since he doesn't exist in the show.

Think it's the opposite. Considering he's actually in Westeros, he probably takes Cersei's place except isn't a piece of shit. Dany still does the same stuff.

You realize thats going to happen in the books as well right? Hes a tragic character. He will compromise his values in foolish pursuit which will lead to him going back on his word and burning his daughter for naught

but it will be written much better

I don't think it can. The circumstances in the show are still happening in the book and he's hundreds of miles away from his daughter. I think she's burning regardless, but it won't assassinate Stannis' character when it happens.

His character wont end there. Hes not losing to Ramsay. He will face more battles that will truly test his character and moral fiber

I suspect Aegon will be welcomed by the citizens of King's Landing as a liberator and a hero, and that's what's going to set Dany off.

Sadly, his wasn't the only character they assassinated nor talent they wasted. Siddig was a perfect Doran and they had so much material to give Indira to work with. Instead, we got...that.

He did have the strongest claim to the throne and had it usurped by the incestuous right-wing Lannisters.

I like how some people in here are all like, "Nuh-uh, the show isn't the definitive version of the series while the books are still incomplete!"

Oh I'm sorry, does you not liking how the show ended suddenly render them officially non-canon? That's not how that works.

The official live-action adaptation has ended and has finished, while the source material novels have not. So until the book series has been completed, the show is the definitive version of the story. Facts.

The show is the definitely version of Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones is not A Song of Ice and Fire. You're smugly wrong. Smugly wrong is not the look you want to be shooting for.
