Why was Robert Barratheon consideredto be a poor ruler?

Based.

His advisors were practically running the nation for him since he was a dumb oaf that got drunk daily.

Imagine being this desperate and pathetic.
Is that how an epsylon male expresses frustration?

So like Ronald Reagan?

If he had just fucked Cersei better none of this would have happened

No thx

Cersei said that Robert managed to get her pregnant once but she hid the pregnancy and had the baby killed once he was born

ok roastie, go commit some warcrimes lol

Joffrey was based as well

If he'd fucked her better the orgasmic haze would have made her less of an uptight horrible bitch

Legitimizing Gendry was a huge mistake because there are probably plenty of lords out there with this exact sentiment right now.

Aerys and Dany were mad.
Lannisters were a disaster
Robert saw years of relative peace and Harmony.

Balon's rebellion was an absolute joke compared to the War of the Five kings and Dany's invasion.

He was literally a poor ruler because he was in debt.

That's just not true. In the show she happily carried the baby to term and proudly showed him to Robert. But he died from a long sickness soon after and their relationship soured even more. In the books she just had an abortion.

Where the fuck is the crater/rubble from the blown up sept in the second picture?

>he was in debt.
You mean like literally every nation on the planet right now?

When Reagan was governor of California he legalised no fault divorce and millions of illegals spics. Bobby B would never have been so bluepilled

>trying this hard to prove that you aren't the same poster

Is it really legitimized if it's fucking Dany that did it? I mean no one gives a shit about her opinion anymore.

>Legitimizing Gendry was a huge mistake because there are probably plenty of lords out there with this exact sentiment right now.

Not really. If you believe Dany has the authority to legitimize Gendry, then Gendry has no claim. If you believe she doesn’t, then hes still a bastard, and has no claim

Robert was constantly bored and getting the kingdom further into debt. This is further illustrated in AGOT when they are heading to Winterfell and I think Cersei mentions how bad of a shape the carriages are in since the wheels are broken. Tyrion notes the piss poor condition Robert left the kingdom in debt in after becoming Hand in ACOK when he was trying to fix shit but instead he just hosted tourneys constantly.

Weren't the Lannisters secretly the de facto rulers during Robert's rule though? He was surrounded by Lannisters.

Economy must have been declining under his rule because he was lazy.

the tax policy was all fucked up, and unlike Tolkien GRRM cared about economics of his fantasy world.

Robert Barantheon was the best ruler in the GoT universe for the sole reason he didn't want to rule. He allowed his council to rule for him. The biggest mistake he's ever made was asking Ned to be his hand because Ned believed the king should rule first, council second.

And I'm saying that no one would honor Dany's legitimization of him because she's batshit insane, he'll be considered a bastard and have no rights to shit.

All of season 5 was terrible. Show died with Tywin.

The fuck would she care who has the throne after she’s dead and has no heirs anyway? It’s not a mistake for Daenerys since it doesn’t affect her whatsoever. Besides, if Gendry ascended after she died it would be a far better outcome than a bloody civil war which is far more likely to happen in a power vacuum like that.

Actually Lord Jon Arryn was the hand of the king making all the good decisions for roberts behalf

He had a bad tax policy

>getting hung up on the legalities
Jon was a bastard and made King in the North. If popular sentiment swept behind Gendry, he could basically legitimise himself.

Yorkist supporters crowned Perkin Warbeck and Lambert Simnel despite knowing they were both fake. Gendry has more real claim than either of them ever had.

>he bankrupted muh realm

fuck off Austrians, there is nothing wrong with stimuluses

>Danaerys falls into insane murderous rage over pretenders just like Robert did
Episode was kino don't give a shit what the SOI BOI say.

Historically there have been many cases of ruling families dying out, but they don't abandon monarchy, they just go down the line of succession and pick the next heir, in this case that would be Gendry. Which means if anyone were to assassinate Dany and Jon he's currently their Heir.

Absolutely braindead decision legitimizing him. If this were still season 1 people would have realized this and already start plotting.

All of season 4 was terrible. Show died with Robb Stark

Because he put the entire kingdom into massive debt and he didn't do any ruling, he just drank and fucked while his advisers ruled in his stead. He was a terrible king-in-name-only.

It's funny how Jon gets surrogate fathers everywhere he goes, but can't find the maternal affection he's been missing his whole life.

>two moments
Let's ignore the boring Meereen shit, the boring Jorah-Tyrion shit, the awful Sansa arc, Arya in Bravos, the complete mishandling of the Faith Militant, DORNE

Season 5 was awful. It's still the worst season so far, and this season has been horrendous.

Based

His only mistake was surrounding himself with Lannister shits.

>I legitimized him, I’m clearly not his enemy

Brainless can’t into propaganda, indeed

Nobody knew who he was except Jon, Davos and Arya. People might not have believed it. Dany announced to everyone in the north that the rival line to the throne had a living heir.

It was a retarded move.

Distinction is now he doesn't even need popular sentiment to lay claim, he's legal regardless of who's side you're on. She gave him a claim and put him in line right behind Jon and Herself. If anything she should have done everything in her power to keep him a bastard.

She'll be his enemy if he claims the throne

Robert was actually taught how to rule
Cersei got her experience vicariously through her father
Dany got her experience leading savages through strength alone

of course this all makes sense

god you're a fucking retard

Women can tell when you’re stunted towards them, chances are every older woman Jon met hated him as much as Cat did, he’s pretty unlikable toward women if they aren’t attracted to him from the outset.

He’s got looks but personality wise he’s the least appealing man toward women, women don’t like strict, taciturn men who put honor over fun. They’re not spontaneous and care too much about things that aren’t them.

>blaming your mom because you're a living failure

Men are so fucking pathetic. How about you grow up you gigantic infant?

There's no Lannister's blood in Cersei or Jaime. It's all Targaryen. It always was. Tywin not only hated Tyron because he was a dwarf and his birth caused the death of his beloved wife, or because he thought of him as a mockery of his legacy. He hated him because he thought it was the product of rape. What he didn't know is that Jaime and Cersei were never his true children. The great tragedy of Tywin is that Tyron was the only Lannister among them all along and he failed to miss it.

I BEND THE KNEE

Actually the current line of succession of Aerys II Targaryen would go:
1. Aegon VI Targaryen (Jon)
2. Gendry Baratheon
3. Daenerys Targaryen

line of succession of Robert Baratheon would go:
1. Gendry Baratheon
2. Aegon VI Targaryen (Jon)
3. Daenerys Targaryen

So Gendry has a better claim than Dany regardless of which king you're counting by.

I reckon Zombie Catelyn will kill the Nights Watch who mutinied Jon rather than the Freys like everyone thinks. She'll do it out of love in a sort of twisted way after realizing she never showed affection for Jon when she was alive.

>There's no Lannister's blood in Cersei or Jaime
Tywin's wife was a Lannister too, you retard.

How come Robert’s the only king that wasn’t a fucking pyromaniac? Proper man of a king, if he wanted somebody dead, he bashed their chest in with a fucking hammer.

I think that she'll be the one to give Arya the talk Sandor gave her this episode.

Matrilineal line is not a valid claim.

There were a ton of other lads™ on the show besides these two, Bronn, Tyrion and Podrick for a while, Jon, Grenn and Pyp, Sam just pisses me off. Probably more but that's all i can think of rn

The boys in the wall were the fucking anime club of westeros. Ned and Bobby were Chad jocks.

she was Tywin's first cousin, she had Lannister blood just like all of her kids, retard.

>Baratheon

If Cat does kill the watch what happens to the Wall. Do the Brotherhood just take over the duties or turn it into something else?

By Matrilineal line, they are Targaryen, not Lannisters.

He borrowed too much money from the Lannisters and went into debt, watched too many tournaments(medieval version of sports television), cheated on his wife and had many children out of wedlock, drank too much(but then again most geeks and nerds do the same, Americans in general drink too much which is why a majority of American characters always have that scene where they drink some whiskey, beer, or wine or some other alcoholic beverage making the characters relatable), and a bunch of other stuff.

It'd be stupid to generalize and say that all women are the same when this is a specific case of a mother having mental issues. I also don't want to portray her as a total monster, she was fine most days when she didn't have a grain of sand to make a mountain of. But do not underestimate the effects that a toxic home environment can have on a kid. I'm certainly not unscarred.
