Varys: "You have a choice, my friend. You can stay here in Season 5 where things are just fine, or you can travel with me and see the horror of what they do to this series in Seasons 7 and 8."

[@Bloodynine606]

[@craigridley7369]

You may think it does but you're wrong. There are wonderful people out there who give humanity a good name. You only hear about the bad. I feel sorry for people who watch the news and believe they are informed and know the truth.(I don't know whether you're like that or not) I make no claims of knowing the truth but I do call the news nothing but propaganda.

[@ComradeVenus]

Capitalist realism

[@christopherpardell4418]

And yet, you sit in your comfortable home, warm and well fed, and enjoy the vastly longer life that comes from modern medicine and worldwide distribution of refrigerated food, inspected for safety, and type your thoughts into a magical slate to be instantly shared with like minded souls world wide…. The history of humanity has been one of slow, but relentless progress. With more people today, living longer, healthier, happier, lives of greater security than ever before in human history. More often than not, the front page of the news is festooned with gossip about someone’s precious feelings being hurt than about horror and tragedy. People fly into a rage on the road when someone won’t let them merge, because they fully EXPECT other people to be courteous. We tend to focus our attention on ever more minor quibbles and gripes, and utterly ignore how much we take kindness for granted. By every single metric of human misery and happiness the world is a far better place to live, now, than at any point in history.

Everything that varys described to be an ideal ruler doesnt apply to bran. I really dont know how anyone could think that bran is the best choice.

[@adisons3965]

Entirety of the time Bran was playing the game of thrones. He warged into Dany to burn down Kings Landing. He even said to Tyrion “Why do you think I came all the way to Kings Landing?” All other were puppets in his game.

[@RobHel]

@@adisons3965 i truly hope you were joking...

[@j1097]

They were drawing from a book only plot that they never did, likely because they wanted to finish the series quickly. They did not have time to introduce the characters that would make varys intentions with these statements make sense.

[@heiveldboy]

Thinking back, this was the start of the end. Removing Aegon who is becoming a huge deal in the books and trying to make Varys's plan about supporting Daenerys meant D&D had to keep writing the clever characters themselves. And they are not clever writers.

[@elliotjohnson9415]

[@hafeeez87]

This scene is what keep me invested and hoping that it would be Tyrion who ends up being the King at the end. A poetic journey that will prove his family and those who underestimated him.

[@Dreamfyre]

He was a brilliant character but not really the one who should have been the King. Sitting on the Iron Throne wasn’t about who deserves it or as a reward to the character being good. It was about who is capable to rule. Tyrion has a great potential but lacks many things to be a King especially how they butchered him from an intelligent man to a fool in season 7 and 8.

[@sterlingarcher74]

The way Varys spoke- it sounded like he was serving a higher power. Would’ve been cool if it was revealed he was a many faced man, or a secret red priest.

[@Popcu1tYt]

But in reality, he did serve a power grader than himself. Though it was not a God, it was the entire lowborn population. They suffered the most under the reign of cruel, lords, and even crueler kings. The only reason why Lowborn individuals would care who would sit on a throne or be their lead Lord, as if they get something out of it.

[@Northnil]

Now I am convinced Varys is one of a few positive characters

[@swordarmstudios6052]

Varys was a true patriot. He is a pragmatist, willing to do terrible things when nesseceary. But he was one of the few whose intentions were truly selfless.

[@dickdastardly5534]

I did like Varys and his powerful presence with worldly wisdom, he played the same game as little finger but had honourable intentions that cost him his life.

[@subutaynoyan5372]

Which is absolute nonsense considering how deep Varys' game is in the books. He is the true incarnation of slyness. He basically is trying to distablise the realm so that his own pretender gets the throne, nothing more. They turned him into a do gooder in the show, because he was convenient in such a role in the plot, a man who has knowledge about any political situations and no direct affiliations with anyone

[@MrRedcarpet02]

we'll see if he survives in 'Winds of Winter' hopefully
