Book Euron: "I am your king. I am your god. Worship me." Show Euron: "Finga in da bum?"
-
Book Euron: The actual anti christ Show Euron: "I HAVE BIG PEE PEE"
-
“Euron threatens to silence the song of ice and fire.” So Euron is a manifestation of GRRM’s procrastination?
-
Honestly, Euron sounds like a more terrifying final threat than the White Walkers.
-
The entire series summarized: “In the books, it’s more . . . complicated.”
-
so you're telling me while all these characters are fighting to be kings and queens, Euron is out here becoming a god... and the show didn't even expand on that but completely ignored it
-
The idea that Euron was so bad that even Blood Raven noped the fuck out is hilarious.
-
Gotta hand it to Aeron. Despite everything he's put through. He holds fast to his faith, warns Falia to run, and then tries to comfort her when she's tied alongside him. Euron couldn't break him, despite everything.
-
Out of all the people on the show, I feel the most sympathy for the actor who played Euron. He read the books and was expecting a lovecraftian character who was the personification of evil. Instead he was given the personification of horny. The actor was good too, but man, he just got character assassinated.
-
You know what sucks is the actor read the books and fell in love with Euron.... and he got what we got big sad twice lol
-
The casting for Euron Greyjoy in the TV show was on point, he even had some physical resemblance to Theon but he was criminally misrepresented.
-
I think the show really struggled with magic. They excelled at the earthly aspects of the books but Bran, Euron, Melisandre, and other magical elements really weren't translate well.
-
"a goofy pirate who talks about fingers in bums." That's a nice way to sum up show Euron.
-
Show euron: a bullying pirate Book euron: literally the anti-christ
-
"It's a totally crazy plan, so naturally the Iron born love it" 🤣
-
Side note: a small detail in Aeron’s chapters in AFFC indicate he is somehow traumatized by the sound of a creaky door hinge. In one chapter, he is sleeping, and he seemingly hears the noise and awakes in fear. After reading The Forsaken, I think this is indicating he is hearing the door hinge of Euron entering his room at night from childhood.
-
In the books: Euron went wild with his third eye. In the show: Euron went wild with his third leg..
-
Show: Winter is coming. Books: Turns out winter might be the least of your problems.
-
Basically, in the books, Euron Greyjoy makes Joffrey and even Ramsay look like saints.
-
I like the idea that Bloodraven "created" the guy who would bring about the apocalypse in his attempt to find the person who would prevent it. If Bloodraven hadn't tried to find Bran, would there have been Greenseer Euron at all? It's like with so many other characters - the more they try to prevent something, the more they make it happen. See Cersei and Maggy the Frog's prophecy. Let's see which catastrophe Mel will bring about in her attempt to prevent the Long Night.
