If he was so great, then why does he lose every battle?

Even before the show/books start, his only accomplishment is not starving before Ned saves his ass

Try again, Stannisfag

Winter was here... Stannis was doomed and his men too. Not a good plan.

Also losing his mind for over the Throne...

It's also show canon that Stannis rekt the Greyjoys' naval forces.

>>84745037
Like that's even a real achievement. The Greyjoy's are the Frey's of the sea

>a naval commander is the same thing as a land commander
Remember that time Horatio Nelson defeated Napoleon in Waterloo?

You do realize his army abandoned him after he killed his daughter, right? That didn't just "happen" out of nowhere, it was a clear result of his stupidity and arrogance for trusting an old hag like Melisandre.

Isn't it juvenile for D&D to completely fuck up whole character's arc just because they don't like him?

>>84745439
I'm pretty sure they made Barristan's death a joke because the actor annoyed them, they're petty enough to deliberately fuck up characterisation.

I vaguely remember reading how Daddy Lannister feared Stannis the most out of all the contenders for his grandson's thrown.

He's talking about the Bolton.
