I fail to see how a grown man who is engaged in a important political betrothal deciding to marry someone else with no political power of her own and willfully ignoring the wishes of his lords and his mother because he's thinking with his dick makes him more sympathetic.

ED: And he's not just a lord, he's a king currently at war, meaning his actions have very large ripple effects. But apparently ~young love~ is worth compromising your whole military campaign, I guess.

Robb's not very good at king-ing, is he? He's great in the field, but he's terrible in the practical matters, like making and keeping alliances. He's a lot like King Robert... he can lead a damn fine rebellion, but makes for a really crummy king. And that is what ASoIF really boils down to: the questions of what makes a good leader.

[sugar_spun]

Yes and no. Robb would be an excellent king (at least, of the Northerners who share his ideals and culture) in peace time, I imagine. But he abides too strictly by the tenants of his father, favoring his personal honor even when his personal honor is going to end up getting other people--including himself--killed.

But that's still a 10x better reason than young love.

[(Anonymous)]

Totally agreed. It makes me wish Ned were still alive to slap him upside the head.

[(Anonymous)]

Because Ned was a perfect dude who never made selfish choices? Whatever, man.

[(Anonymous)]

Wow so parents aren't allowed to scold their children unless they're perfect people?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, actually. Hypocrites can fuck off.

[(Anonymous)]

LOL. So no one can scold anyone ever. Who needs law and society?

[world_eater]

lol

[fauxkaren]

No, he wasn't perfect.

But he did marry a woman that he'd never met for political reasons. So he might know a bit about that subject.

It's funny that people say that Robb died because he was too much like Ned because it's actually kind of the opposite.

Robb married Jeyne (ignoring his politically necessary promise to marry a Frey girl) possibly in part because he didn't want to leave her with a bastard after seeing what happened with Jon.

Ned on the other hand, did his duty and married Catelyn even though she was a stranger to him because it politically necessary.

Uh, Spoiler alert?

[(Anonymous)]

.

Uh, read the books.

[(Anonymous)]

OP even mentioned adaptation changes, not to mention it's fandom secrets where there's a spoiler warning at the top. If you're not treading carefully in the thread that's clearly full of spoilers, don't read the thread.

Uh, don't be an asshole.

[(Anonymous)]

Just wanted to warn others, no need to be such a prick about it.
