A mindset that helped him attain the Throne...oh wait

A kings power is derived by his alliances, not his blood

What about daughters? Do kings have those?

STANNIS THE MANNIS 100%

It's really funny to me that the Baratheon brothers had one good king divided up among the three of them.

That said Stannis was literally the true king of Westeros and the only legitimate scion to the throne, and he deserved to rule and would have ruled justly and well.

stannis lost

Only in the shit show. In the books people are loyal to death when comes to Stannis, the guy was the only true king. Also, never forget:

PRAY HARDER.

Stannis is probably gonna sit the thrown at the end of everything in the books. It would be hilarious

Does Stannis not consider Davos a friend? That makes me a bit sad.

Claims to thrones have only ever mattered as far as they could be enforced. Every time succession happened without a war, it was because no one else thought they could beat the prime successor. If they did, then there was a war every time, even if the prime successor was the eldest son or brother of the king. Sometimes nephews and uncles and shit just grabbed it up simply because they could.

Why did Stannis, the greatest military commander of Westeros, never win a land battle against a peer opponent?

Davos is the only friend Stannis has ever had

Anyone else that pulled the shit Davos did would have lost their head. Stannis objectively has a soft spot for him.

He's going to win the battle of winterfell. He doesn't even kill his daughter (yet) in the books. Stannis is the Mannis

Is it ever explained why Stannis chose to attack from the Blackwater than the Kingsroad?

Boats.

was master of ships for nearly 2 decades

ruler of a powerful island stronghold with a huge navy

It's a mystery.

why would he attack from the kingsroad?

What benefit do they provide in context?
Shorter distance to travel with less variables, has access to the Mud Gate as well as the King's Gate. Ripe for a false siege at the latter, followed by a host sent in through the former. Nevermind that, given Stannis' proclaimed knowledge of the city, the potential destruction of the Mud Gate itself in an effort to prevent or stall access should be an easy presumption, making it a poor choice to focus on exclusively.

Maybe the kingdom was the friends we made along the way

the answer is that you are a gay retard

Stannis has spent every day of the last two decades in his wargaming room. He has planned his opponents' moves so far ahead he is already implementing anti U-boat tactics in his naval doctrine.

Name one person in Westeros who could possibly be considered a 'peer' of Stannis (the Mannis).

he beat Renly whom had superior numbers.

He murdered his own brother with blood magic who had superior numbers.*

cope

They never fought a battle.

winning a battle before the fighting starts

sounds like something the greatest military commander would do

Robb Stark.

What did the peach mean?

Provoking a host 3x your size on their home turf

Plot armor ain't stratagem.

...was Stannis gay for Renly?

He never said that, though.

No he was just upset that he was fooled into killing is last brother

Gay sex allegory

King Bran is too wacky of an idea to have come from D&D. I think the series would have ended with Bran fusing to the iron throne just like bloodraven fused into the tree.

Isn't Bran technically everybody? It's like Legion, but executed atrociously

Dude can greendream

Can warg into humans

Can warg into humans while greendreaming, affecting the past to directly influence his present and/or future

In other words, the plot of Game of Thrones is Bran having sex with Bran then pushing Bran out a window so Bran can take Bran north of the wall to find Bran so he can teach Bran how to become Bran so that he can rape himself and then kill The Bran King, finally becoming Bran The Brandon, Lord of the Seven Brandoms, King of the Brandals and the First Brans, and then... something?
Wait, what the fuck was this medieval soap opera about again?

Maybe the Game of Thrones were the Brans we made along the way

Okay? I don't believe I said that he did.

anon never won a 3:1 odds battle

Yeah time travel is really stupid. Having him see the past and the future is cool, but giving him the power to change it is stupid as fuck and makes no sense.
