A character can be successful in their conquests and also interesting. The intriguing aspect of the High Sparrow is in determining the existence of a hidden motive and in the mystery surrounding his true origin. If you can only relate to sad failures as characters that's something that can be taken upon yourself.

He isn't honest about his intentions.
If you look at the way he's smirking to Jamie and pay attention to his word choices, you'll know that he's lying and basically wants to ISIS the whole 7 Kingdoms, his speeches are a smoke screen he uses to hide his true intentions
/pol/keks supporting him is ironic since he's essentially an sjw who wants to tear down the rich to make things "equal" and forbid everything fun.

You're right, because the interesting aspect of the character is that we don't know what he actually is, or what he actually stands for. The mystery of the character means his true nature could be as abstract as a panda in a tutu but we don't know it yet. If you're really that upset that you don't know everything about this character yet, keep watching. Feel free to not personally like the character. But don't equate a character you don't like with a poorly written character.

You keep talking to me like I have a vested interest in this.

I don't care.
The facts are this, they are wasting a great actor and he is great, on terrible writing.

The role has no character, if it did the actor would be able to vastly more with it.

I'm sorry this hurts your feelings, as you're obviously a fan, but when there is no internal conflict shown in a character it won't hook an audience as the character becomes a force more than a human.

That's just objectively false for reasons stated by others than just me. He takes the form of a lowly peasant in the eyes of god whilst seeking power. He makes threats with a nonthreatening smile. He's managed to outwit other characters despite potentially not having a wealthy or powerful origin. You're pretending he's a stone statue that happens to get its way, but that's just demonstrably false.

I believe that he's a true believer, but I also believe that he doesn't believe in the compassion sturf that he spouts. When he's in the position to destroy everyone he considers a ssinner, he absolutely would, without mercy.
>>
>>70244972
Your view of what counts as interesting only reveals how narrow minded you are. I don't think you even really believe what you spout yourself, since you probably enjoyed characters that defy your arbitrary rule that states that characters must suffer crises in order to be interesting.
>>
>>70244890
Exactly.
The only real conflicts she ever faced were in the first season regarding her brother.
After that she's capeshit tier, no one viewer would ever ask the question 'how will Khalesi, High Sparrow, etc, get out of this one?' Because they're never put into scenarios that actually test their character.

Bad writing!
>>
>>70244873
It has to be.

We've had just one scene with her showing any attention to the faith and her jumping from that to true believer, after what she said to Loras, is beyond stupid character progression....

Which makes me think she ain't faking it.

D & D are lazy hacks.

The point that the High Sparrow is a badly planned and written character still stands. Mystery is not enough grounds for an audience to emotionally invest in someone. In fact it's an obstacle for character, familiarity is a far more important quality, mystery only usually serves as a device role which need little engagement.
You need to have relatable points of character that an audience can latch onto. The high sparrow lacks these.

So you're pro monarchy?

>>70245258
No, george has sait it himself, the chuch of the seven is his take on the medieval catholic church, probably the most powerful institution of the time. whose ministers got the power to appoint rules, appoint lorships justify wars "deus volt" if you cannot remember. As any institution with such power it became corrupt as hell. Even through symbolism what thefuck do you think the orb and sceptre symbolized?

You should read Cersei's chapter when that nigger asked her if she could lift the ban to the legion of the warrior. It was more than implied he had an ulterior motive, once which cersei stupidly dismissed "what could these armed peasants do?" The Andal wars with the first men was a crusade to exterminate the first men and children of the forest's religion until the Targaryen brought down the church's military power.

Much in the way of real religious ministers (catholic, islamic or Jewish) the will of god is interpreted through men, and the high sparrow is the one who says what god wills and what he does not. Same thing applies here, no matter if you're the High Sparrow or those R'hllor fanatics

The high sparrow is playing the game of thrones and winning.

I don't doubt D&D will try to make him look like a pedo racist, homophobic shit. but he is neither a pedo, nor a racist, nor an homophobe. He is just sick for power pretty much in the same way Cersei is (a figure who is not allowed nobility tittles. i.e., women, priests. So they fight so they can control everything behind the curtains) . Cersei has met her match and she is loosing.

Fucker even took it's place as the high Septon through intimidation, with his sparrows bursting into the chambers with their weapons unsheathed.
>>
>>70244877
I feel like everyone forgot his speech a few episodes ago when he talked about how he was a shoemaker and woke up at the end of a degenerate glutton-orgy and was just disgusted by all of it. I think its implied that his faith is fueled by his belief that he has evolved into some higher existence and that he truly believes he is better than everyone who strives for the things he despises. He's a sociopathic narcissist, but he's also proving to people like Cercei and Jamie that they are not any more powerful than the street urchins as long as they band together and let go of fear. There are many facets to the High Sparrows character, all shrouded in mystery. Its def not bad writing. The sand snakes are bad writing. If you want hackish, lazy writing just look there

on a side note, I'm balding but have thick hair on the sides and am a good cantidate for a hair transplant. Anyone know if that shit is worth it or should I just shave it all?

>Geez, this Pope guy keeps saying things that the nobility doesn't like. Why haven't they marched into the Vatican and put him on a spike yet?
>>
>>70246012
>kek sorry he makes you so mad pro monarchy cuck
>I'mma call him a cuck, that'll teach him.

the entire point of the series is that there's no such thing as a good side or an evil side. There's just humans struggling for power, or struggling to regain that which they have lost. Except for a few exceptions (Ramsey, Geoffrey etc).

Absolutely fucking nobody cares for the little man. The only one that probably did, Ned is fucking dead. what's brilliant about the novels is that you can understand what most characters are going trough and you chose to sympathize with some according to your own ideals.

He's the good guy anon, just accept it. Monarchy is bad, nobles are bad, he's right.

He doesn't want to elevate the poor, just tear down the rich and powerful. That's why it's funny to see polkek contrarians white knight the high sparrow since he's a commie who wants to put the dumb and lazy in the same standing as the rich.

Last season she looked amazing. She looks like a whale now.

The fourth crusade wasn't terrible? Sacking constantinople, burning the greatest library in the medieval world, raping the christian nuns in its monasteries, and letting whores sing perverted versions of the mass in the Hagia Sophia isn't terrible enough for you? They destroyed priceless artifacts dating as far back as from the rule of Alexander the great.

The original purpose of the crusades was to help the Byzantine empire militarily against the Turks, while retaking the holy land. It ended up dooming the Byzantines, destroying the archological sites in the holy land, and leaving the Turks far more powerful than when the crusades started.

He's one of the only characters so far this season who hasn't been hypocritical at all, refuses to be pushed around by the nobles, and sticks to his principles no matter what happens. People are so jaded by Game of Thrones' (and most modern shows') attitude that truly strong and decent people never exist in the real world that they cry hypocrisy where there's none to be found.

I agree that most people in positions of power who seem to be good are hiding something, but this series has beaten that point into the ground so much that it would be more interesting to have a character who's actually genuine. I can say with 99% certainty that D&D will take the easy route and give him some dirt to justify most people disliking him.

Has the show suddenly got a lot worse or is it just me? I enjoyed the previous seasons, but this one just feels cringey as fuck for the most part.

as an atheist i fucking love this guy

he is true to his religions rules unlike basically every hypocritical religious cuck in the world right now

>>70246601
The Pope was essentially the highest authority in Rome and they commanded armies. To put this in perspective to tgose who don't medieval: the Pope was to Europe as the what the President of the USA is to the NATO States.

A more applicable analogy would be the Muslim brotherhood in Egypt.

You mean he doesn't in this century.

5 and 6 are the major points of decline. I've used this video as an example before, but almost all the scenes with Tywin are far above these last two seasons in quality:

He didn't actually command the armies, he was just a figure head.

s5 was worse than this

He never did others pulled strings, that is the catholic pope. Besides byzantine had emperors and the English said F u to the church pope and even had the magna Carta which further limited the kings power nevermind the church.

Agreed. s5 was the worst.

s2 good
s3 good (but tbqh i dont remember much of it)
s4 was acceptable
s5 and 6 are really bad

S5 & S6 D&D had to get creative, problem is they aren't talented in that department and cut corners to save the budget.
>>
>>70247571
>cutting corners
The downgrade in the armors is really mind blowing

s1-3 had great, detailed, regular armors, s4 only had tywin's (i think), and from then on its just generic leather/fur

And weapons, the doth raki weapons made me kek hard, was wooden broom sticks with aluminum at the ends and their Saber like metal weapons looked like bent wood dark wood color no metal, and their armor was even worse, wasn't that many of them either, wtf gives
>>
>>70246789
I've resigned to the fact that I am just going through the motions. I've come this far so I have to get to the end but the excitement I used to feel for the series has dissipated.

I used to get giddy during the opening credit sequence. Now I'd probably just fast forward through them if I had the option to get it over with quicker.

Not the other guy, you write like a pretentious teenage autist. Just because High Sparrow hasn't been up against the ropes struggling for survival yet that doesn't automatically make him boring or a walking plot device.

>>70244639
It's almost like you don't understand story structure so you're hiding your plebness behind "muh complex characters."

Lurk more until you holistically understand the craft of storytelling.

Yeah, the last episode had people wearing some really miserable looking shit.
It's not like you can't design super flashy looking stuff without leaving half of the body uncovered either.

He's been made a weakling in this season. Hell, I always figured he could beat Daario and Grey Worm, and that only Barristan could kick his ass (among Daenery's soldiers).
