    I think GRRM would declare Ser Pounce the winner in a match against Kratos.

    I freaking love ASOIAF, but this guy talks way too much crap sometimes.

      I haven’t read the books, but it seems like a theme is that everyone is extremely “human”. Like no one in the series could miraculously survive a fall of a cliff. That’s why I like the show, but I think it would pretty immediately discount anyone from being able to win a fight against a pseudo-superhuman who was able to, almost literally, walk off the damage from falling off a cliff

          For me, everything that happens on HBO after Jon is stabbed by his brothers is just high-end fanfic. I will always believe that the showrunners fucked up the ending. And, let’s be real, GRRM isn’t going to prove me wrong.

            They might have rushed it but I’m pretty certain the big plot points are the same. They’d always claimed they had the broad strokes ending from Season 1.

            The one thing I could have seen him do was not bring Jon back but it honestly doesn’t change that much
