The Ten Rings kidnapped Tony Stark under Obadiah Stane's orders in Iron Man. They also assisted Ivan Vanko in reaching Monaco in Iron Man 2, something not well known by fans who don't read the canon comics. However, after two films of teasing, it appeared in Iron Man 3 that Tony Stark would go against The Mandarin himself, only for it to be an elaborate ruse, orchestrated by Aldrich Killian himself, using Trevory Slattery to pose as The Mandarin and take responsibility for Killian's terrorist attacks.
Trevor Slattery was last seen in Marvel One Shot: Long Live The King when he was kidnapped by The Ten Rings.
The Ten Rings were last teased in Ant-Man, when a member bearing the group's insignia were present at the Yellowjacket suit presentation

[Standard] 7-0 Metagame Challenge with Mono White Aggro. Deck Tech

Intro:
Deck performance HERE.
I wanted to share my latest modifications to my Mono White list from Zendikar standard, updated for Kaldheim. This deck has performed crazy consistently - 19-4 on the ladder, with no mulligans taken the entire time. I also went 7-0 on the standard metagame challenge on my third attempt. Basically - I think this deck is really good. It can't be overstated how helpful it is to have consistent mana on time and a low curve to allow nearly every hand to be keepable - if your opponent is even a touch slower than you then it's very hard for them to come back due to our efficiency. The best tools I feel White aggro got from Kaldheim are Usher of the Fallen (2/1 1 drops are a premium), and Reidane, which I posted a discussion on Here. I wanted to share this list before the end of the metagame challenge in case anyone else needed a 7-0 capable list. This deck still needs a little tuning - I'm not sure on the exact numbers of a couple of cards, but this is a great place to start.
​
The Deck:
https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/3474283#arena
2 Kabira Takedown (ZNR) 19
4 Luminarch Aspirant (ZNR) 24
3 Maul of the Skyclaves (ZNR) 27
3 Skyclave Apparition (ZNR) 39
2 Legion Angel (ZNR) 23
3 Castle Ardenvale (ELD) 238
3 Giant Killer (ELD) 14
4 Seasoned Hallowblade (M21) 34
3 Selfless Savior (M21) 36
2 Emeria's Call (ZNR) 12
18 Plains (ANB) 115
2 Shepherd of the Flock (ELD) 28
2 Venerable Knight (ELD) 35
2 Reidane, God of the Worthy (KHM) 21
4 Usher of the Fallen (KHM) 35
1 Halvar, God of Battle (KHM) 15
2 Lavabrink Venturer (IKO) 19
​
Sideboard:
2 Legion Angel (ZNR) 23
2 Glass Casket (ELD) 15
1 Baneslayer Angel (M21) 6
2 Idol of Endurance (M21) 23
1 Soul-Guide Lantern (THB) 237
1 Giant Killer (ELD) 14
1 Reidane, God of the Worthy (KHM) 21
2 Basri Ket (M21) 7
2 Drannith Magistrate (IKO) 11
1 Sigrid, God-Favored (KHM) 29
​
General Gameplan:
It's an aggro deck, so the general gameplan isn't too complex. However knowing how to use each of the creature's/spells toolsets to the fullest will help you squeeze out a number of narrow victories. Due to the diversity and aggressiveness of threats, it shouldn't be difficult to get under Yorion/Ugin/Ultimatum decks. Also there are some defensive options that allow you to go over other aggressive decks. There's a few cards in here that are kind of on the weak side (Halvar, Sigrid) - but they're new so I want to give them my due dilligence.
​
The Creatures:
Giant Killer:
There's no way a rare Eldraine card could be bad, is there? This card is just great - we all know that by now.
Selfless Savior:
Running 3 instead of 4 because the main early game use of it is curving into our Aspirant..since Hallowblade kinda protects itself. Though there will be times you can use it for Hallowblade if it saves your tempo.
Usher of the Fallen:
In this deck, Usher is a straight up upgrade to Venerable Knight due to its boast ability. If you have a proper curve however, then play your threats out before worrying about activating boast.
Venerable Knight:
I still run a couple of this card since it's a 2/1 that can also be buffed by Aspirant to a 3-power attacker on turn 2 - even if your opponent deals with the aspirant, they'll often have to deal with this 3 power one drop very inefficiently.
Luminarch Aspirant:
Very snowbally card. Easily generates value on the turn it comes in. Often it's a better idea to spread out the counters if possible - that's what makes this card bonkers.
Seasoned Hallowblade:
Great offensive creature - though admittedly it sucks against random x/1's (beast tokens, Omen of the Sun tokens, etc.) Still a great diverse threat that can't be defeated by common doomblades.
Shepherd of the Flock:
Should likely be running 1 copy instead of 2, however I do like having at least one around as a utility spell/creature. "Usher to Safety" just puts in so much work for how cheap it is, saving your Creatures/Mauls from destruction and often just allowing you to outmaneuver your opponent's big play. Can do a bunch of other nifty tricks as a bonus.
Lavabrink Venturer:
Having built in protection is pretty good for offense and defense. Make sure you're very familiar with what spells your opponents have and also how you plan to interact with it (savior, maul, basri), before choosing odd or even.
Reidane, God of the Worthy:
I've already waxed poetic enough about this card. There are so many 4+ mana spells being played by nearly every archetype to the point that I have her in the maindeck and do not regret it. When I originally posted about her a few days ago, I was underwhelmed by her artifact side. I was careful to take a closer look at a lot of situations in games where it's relevant - and I'm now fairly impressed with it. Combat/Tempo will nearly always be in your favor once it's down, and your opponent will have much reduced mana effiency for trying to interact with you in any way besides sweepers. This card just single-handedly solves a ton of Mono Whites problems against ramp decks.
Skyclave Apparition:
Taking away an opponent's threats while adding one of your own is just insane in an aggro deck.
Halvar, God of Battle:
This card has been...ok, but sorta underwhelming and I often board it out. Though it has definitely put in work, especially in game 1 scenarios. Suddenly giving your creature with a maul on it double strike has won a few games. I've cast the equipment more than the creature. It's also decent. Vigilance is always nice and refunding your creature to hand is a nice bonus.
Legion Angel:
A great piece of top end that often gives you the gas/evasiveness you need to close out longer games. I often go for the maindeck/sideboard split of 2/2 - however I could see merits to running a 1/3 split.
​
The Spells:
Kabira Takedown:
We go wide enough to nearly always make this card relevant. I'd add another - but there are so many games that could go wrong if just a single one of your lands is tapped, and this is perfect as a "nice to have but don't need" land in hand.
Maul of the Skyclaves:
This card is ridiculous. Another offensive/Defensive tool.
​
The Sideboard:
Giant Killer: An extra for any matchups with green stuff. Remember to keep a couple in even against Yorion decks with Green in them, as they'll often try to stop you with Elder Gargaroth - don't be caught flat footed.
Soul-Guide Lantern: For anti-graveyard strats.
Drannith Magistrate: Undecided on whether to keep this card in, but decided to revisit it. Being able to slow down adventure/foretell and avoid stomp are great upsides. Can really put in work when buffed by Aspirant/Maul. He remains until I can settle on other sideboard pieces.
Glass Casket: Can be awkward...especially against anything with Green since it can interact/destroy..basically everything. However they can still buy you time if you're on the draw.
Basri Ket: I've always been high on this planeswalker - even if others aren't. At 3 mana it defeinitely does what it's designed to do in the matchups where you need it. Its ultimate often comes fast and will win you most games once you've triggered it. Great against slow decks - for now I also board him in versus Rakdos since Maul/Apparitions aren't the best there. If you can defend it before they get Kroxa out then it becomes very difficult for them to break through.
Idol of Endurance: For the Rogues matchup. If you can resolve it once they have a decent amount of your creatures milled, then this empties your graveyard and gives you an efficient way to rebuild your board.
Reidane: An extra one against any ramp/control decks.
Sigrid, God-Favored: I've cast this maybe 2 or 3 times, and never want to use it board it in...even in the matchups where you think it'd be great. Maybe if something like mono-red or the mirror is more prominent? Will likely take it out until the meta changes in its favor.
Legion Angel: No need to explain.
Baneslayer Angel: For aggro.
The best upgrade for this sideboard should probably be a couple Hushbringers. Abzan Yorion was one of my 4 losses and it felt tougher than other Yorion piles due to them depending on card advantage efficient blockers. Hushbringer could completely save these matchups. Also puts in work against Mono Green Food/Henge.
There may be space for Archon of Emeria too, as this deck doesn't double-spell often outside of the early turns.
​
The Matchups:
Just keep in mind how your threats align with the opponent's answers, since they will likely always have to answer what you put on board instead of vice versa. For instance, there's quite a few bounce effects in standard right now - don't go for Maul/Apparition plays in these instances as you're going to lose a ton of tempo. Go as wide as you can and sacrifice units where need be. Its aggro - Keep some one-land hands...turn some creatures sideways..and you'll be just fine.
​
The "Why not "X" Card?" Cards:
Resplendent Marshal: This card doesn't feel quite there for this deck - and probably isn't meant for it. I've tested him a bit and he's done some decent work when cast in the mid to late game..but doesn't do much on curve to help our gameplan.
The big question I imagine will be asked: Why not go Boros and add Skalds.
Don't get me wrong, Showdown of the Skalds is a good card. However, and this can't be stated enough, it DOES have drawbacks that players should be familiar with in certain decks. Personally, I feel that it is best used in decks that have a decent amount of haste creatures. That allows you to get very explosive and threatening turns after your untap.
I had multiple opponents tap out for Skalds (even multiple ones) in games against me, and I never once felt threatened. It lost them a gigantic amount of tempo each time and they were forced into awkward defensive positions for the rest of the game until they lost. I also wouldn't imagine wanting to use it as a "refill" card against slower decks without haste threats. Tapping out (if it resolves) on turn 4, and playing threats on turn 5 that you have to wait until turn 6 and attack with? No thanks, I'd rather just have my threats be a bit stickier. I think this card is great as a "mirror" breaker between midrange decks (again, if not running haste threats), and I've also seen it be very effective in prowess decks...however, for this deck, I don't think making the mana base worse and adding more 4-cost cards is going to help any of the matchups.
I've seen some very well performing White lists that are even more aggressive than this one running cards like Clarion Spirit and even more 1 drops to double spell. Compared to those lists this one is more "midrange" - but I think there's a lot of avenues to explore if you go that route. Going lower and wider has a ton of appeal against decks that can win by stealing your value creatures (Rogues/Claim/Akroan War decks).
Why not Snow Lands/Haven? Because I'm a fool and just started jamming games today and didn't think about it until now. They definitely could've won me the few games that I lost. I'll be switching over to the snow package and taking out the Emeria's Calls..which I've cast 1 in about 40 games. Haven would surely be more relevant than that.
​
Conclusion:
TL:DR - The deck has performed fantastically - to date, 19-4 on the ladder (with no mulligans) and 7-0 in Standard Metagame challenge. Great offense and defense. Maindeck/Sideboard need a little bit of optimization - but has tools for most matchups. No idea why I'm not running snow lands/Faceless Haven yet - adding them in. Looking forward to running this in online tourney soon.
​
​
EDIT:
Lots of great discussion in here! I wanted to add in some noteworthy stuff so far that's been concluded and speculated as we continue to discuss.
First off, here's what I'm going to be running for the time being, though I haven't tested much: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/3474283#arena. Updated the mana to a snow package, added a single Lurrus instead of Halvar and updated the sideboard.
Some things that I've noted in the discussion:

Makjang 101: Taking Things To The Extreme

In the wake of the recently aired Penthouse: War In Life and in preparation for its upcoming seasons 2 and 3, I wanted to do a little introduction to makjang (막장) dramas -- which is one of my guilty pleasure kdrama genres. I hope this introduction will provide a better "clearer" idea of what is makjang and what dramas are makjang dramas, in addition to the "best" viewing attitude towards such dramas.

What Is Makjang (막장)?

Word Origin
The word makjang (막장) is actually not an officially recognized word but rather a non-standard form of the word kkeutjang (끝장) (noun), which means the end or the conclusion (such as death or complete failure).1 Essentially kkeutjang represents a state of having reached the extreme where further continuation or development is not possible. In popular culture, the term makjang is used to represent the idea of having reached the extreme.
Makjang + Drama
In the context of dramas, makjang is a stylistic, tonal, or narrative element in dramas that chooses to play up outrageous storylines to keep viewers hooked despite how ridiculous the stories become.2
According to the Urimalsaem definition of makjang drama:
막장 드라마: 보통 사람의 상식과 도덕적 기준으로는 이해하거나 받아들이기 어려운 내용의 드라마. 억지스러운 상황 설정, 얽히고설킨 인물 관계, 불륜, 출생의 비밀 등 자극적인 소재로 구성된다.
A drama that is difficult to understand or accept based on common sense and moral standards of an average person. These dramas will often feature things such as forced situations/settings, tangled relationships, affairs, and birth secrets.
Other hallmarks of makjang dramas include switched identities, revenge plots, power struggles, death (lots of it, especially due to murder), incest (often shown as undertones rather than real relationships), amnesia, blackmail, and evil rich people.
Thus, makjang can be used to refer to specific elements of a drama or the drama overall as a genre designation.

How Makjang Is That Drama?

Over my years of drama watching, I've developed a personal scale of measuring how makjang a drama is based on the presence or absence of "normal" moral compasses in characters.
The fewer number of characters with a "normal" moral compass, the more makjang a drama is.
By counting the number of "normal" moral compasses present in a drama, I rank dramas on a spectrum ranging from makjang-lite to full-blown complete makjang. A drama with 3 or less characters with "normal" moral compasses is what I would consider a full-blown makjang.
I roughly define a "normal" moral compass as one where the character refuses to commit any crimes that would result in prison time because I believe the average common person is a law-abiding citizen that would not commit serious crimes (white collafinance crimes are included) that merit prison time.
An additional indicator that the drama is fully makjang is when characters do not evaluate their actions (especially evil actions) in terms of moral or ethical values but rather solely based on their personal advantage or disadvantage (think gains in powemoney/influence/revenge/etc.).
Example: If a person is considering forging a document and debating on whether it will help them attain their objective as opposed to how ethical/criminal the act of forging is, then the drama is more makjang. If however, the person deliberates on the potential forgery due to ethics (of their profession for example), then the drama is less makjang.

How To Enjoy Makjang Dramas

Makjang as a genre can be polarizing for audiences as some people love them while others detest them. I personally think that makjang dramas have the potential to entertain if one watches them with the "correct" mindset -- that of curiosity of how extreme things can get.
Essentially, I would suggest not taking things seriously (at all) while watching makjang dramas. Watch them with mindset of "how crazy can things get?" instead of "how can a person be like that?" -- If you watch from the first perspective, makjangs are great shows of insanity. If you watch from the second perspective, you might end up checking yourself into a hospital from the stress. More than in any other genre of drama, you have to remember you are watching dramatized fiction.
Even then, this genre still might not be the one for you so don't force yourself to watch something you dislike. After all, kdramas are entertainment, they should entertain you.

Makjang Hall of Fame

(Note: This Hall of Fame is totally unofficial and my personal opinion only.)
When thinking of makjang dramas, one screenwriter immediately comes to mind: Kim Soon Ok (김순옥). She is the Queen of Makjang dramas, having penned the seminal Temptation of Wife (2008), which created The Mole.
The Mole
If you've watched Korean variety shows or lots of kdramas, you have probably come across a spoof scene where a person has a mole on their cheek, which is used to determine their identity. This sequence was used in Temptation of Wife where the FL, who was severely abused by her husband, comes back to exact revenge on her husband. When she returns for revenge, her character gains a mole on their cheek and all of a sudden no one could recognize her for her old self and believes her to be a new person.
See this clip from Runningman Episode 213 to see the spoof in action. (I highly recommend watching this entire clip from the beginning to get a rundown of a number of makjang cliches for female leads and to see how many dramas you see being spoofed.)
If you have watched Search: WWW, then you will remember the mole on the mother-in-law in the drama What's Wrong With My Mother-in-Law? that Cha Hyun (Lee Dahee) was following. (You get a seaweed slap as a bonus!)
Other renowned works also by Kim Soon Ok include Come! Jang Bori (2014) and [The Last Empress](2018), and of course, this year's Penthouse: War in Life.
While Kim Soon Ok's dramas are beloved by Korean audiences (and at least some audiences abroad), there is another famed makjang writer that is worthy of being mentioned in this Hall of Fame: Im Sung Han of New Tales of Gisaeng (2011) and Aurora Princess (2013) fame.
She really takes makjang to a new level as she does not limit the makjang to just her writing but also brings it to life in the process of filming/producing her dramas.
Quoting my favorite bits from the Dramabeans article on her antics:
That was just the beginning, because writer Im began writing out more and more actors as the show went on (more than a dozen in total), killing some off so unceremoniously that people half-joked that Aurora Princess was turning into a survival drama. Some actors gave interviews expressing their dissatisfaction and viewers started calling the drama “Im Sung-han’s Death Note.” (I’m surprised at how vocal the actors have been in criticizing this show, but that indicates that the level of distress was pretty high.) Nobody was safe—the firing spree culminated with writer Im eventually killing off the hero. More on that in a moment.
and
Dissatisfaction with writer Im Sung-han mounted when it became known that one of the cast members, Baek Ok-dam, is her niece. (She is the daughter of Im’s older brother.) This is not Baek’s first drama, but her debut role and follow-up were both in aunt Im’s dramas, Ahyundong Madam and New Gisaeng Story, so you can see where denying nepotism accusations might not be too convincing.
and
(from the drama:) A leukemia patient recently had the epiphany, “Cancer cells are living things too. If I try to die, my cancer cells can feel that. Those cancer cells arose out of me living my life wrong, so I don’t think it’s right to try to kill those cancer cells so that I can live.”
And the follow up to this mess when after her next drama, she announced her retirement.
But of course, what is a makjang without one more twist! Despite her prior "retirement", Im is slated to return in 2021 with TV Chosun drama Love (ft. Marriage and Divorce) starring Sung Hoon, Lee Tae Gon, Park Joo Mi and more. As this is a mini-series, perhaps Im will move away from her past brand of makjang but we certainly won't know for sure until the every end!

Some Recommendations

The following are just a few personal recommendations of dramas that have makjang elements or are makjang dramas that I think are an enjoyable watch (if you don't take things seriously). The dramas are roughly arranged from least makjang to most makjang.
Makjang-Lites
Makjang On Full Blast
Note: I've seen comparisons made between Penthouse and SKY Castle due to some of the similarities in (part of) their premise -- rich parents obsessed with their kids futures. Personally, I would not compare the two or equate them because they are two very different dramas and intended to be so. SKY Castle is a satire/dark comedy that focuses on the nature of academic competition in SK society. Penthouse is, well, a makjang exploring the extremes to which the rich and powerful will go to stay rich and powerful. In other words, the residents of SKY Castle can be your neighbor if you lived in Korea or a similarly academics-obsessed society, whereas the residents aiming for the Penthouse are extreme, fictional dramatizations of people.

Lastly

I personally love makjang dramas because they are larger than life and often amplify human emotions and ambitions to the extreme -- providing the utmost amount of escapism. More than any other genre of fiction or drama, makjang dramas allow me to let myself go emotionally as I curse at the characters on screen for their actions and motivations. So if you are having a bad day, consider putting on an episode of a makjang drama and letting yourself go completely as you curse to your heart's content.
P.S.
I'm not recommending it but The Heirs (2013) starring Kim Tan and Choi Young Do is a fantastic primer of makjang tropes -- I'd consider it a makjang-lite.

Every Character Ranked

So here is my ranking of every character in the show. I'm ranking by season, and then I put my all-season favorites down at the bottom. I'm not only ranking the characters here, but also their complete story and arc. If there's a character I love that just kind of didn't get a good ending, they will be low down. If a character appears in multiple seasons, like Lou or Wrench, I ranked them based on their time in that season. Also, this is really only main and supporting characters, so none of the hotel guests from East / West are gonna be here or any other character like that.
​
SEASON ONE- My opinion on the season one characters is that it had a handful of fantastic characters but the ensemble around them wasn't as memorable. Besides the main five, every other character was either a jerk or an idiot, and that was really it. There still were no bad characters, but I think 90% of this season's charm comes from Molly, Lester and Malvo.
  1. Lorne Malvo- Who else was it gonna be? Billy Bob Thornton delivers one of the greatest tv villains of the decade with this guy, and he makes him such a great character that you are rooting both for and against him at the same time. Fargo's biggest flaw is that they may never top this guy (but I think they did, which I'll explain a bit later down).
  2. Lester Nygaard- Lester's arc is one of the greatest falls of any tv character. In the first episode, he seems like a loser who got in WAY over his head who you just might still be able to root for, but as the show continues he slowly turns into a deeply disgusting individual. In the time jump, we even get to see him become a happy, successful insurance salesman, but the second Malvo re-enters his life he becomes the same, sad, smarmy villain that he was from the beginning. Probably the best of the show's guy-who-makes-a-big-mistake characters.
  3. Molly Solverson- The moral center of season one, Molly feels a little underdeveloped in the beginning of the show (for a while her only character trait was "let me do stuff, chief!!") but as the show progressed she became one of the coolest heroes of the show, as well as continuing Fargo's long tradition of powerful women that started with the movie and lives on today. My ONLY complaint is that she should have killed Malvo. She deserved it.
  4. Mr. Wrench & Mr. Numbers- While Wrench grew into his own character in later seasons, here they are one entity. Succeeding as the two coolest hitmen to ever be in a tv show, Wrench & Numbers have it all: the jokes, the style, the sign language, and that 11/10 drum solo / theme song that jumps up my heart rate every time it kicks in.
  5. Chief Bill Oswalt- I know that the Chief gets a lot of flack for being an annoying character, but I think he's actually one of the most real characters in Fargo. He's not the chief from season 3 who's actively trying to stop investigating for no reason. He's just a simple, nice guy who got in way over his head. His ending when he resigns is one of the saddest scenes in the whole show.
  6. Lou Solverson- Old Lou was good until he whipped out a shotgun and was ready to straight-up murder Malvo to protect Greta. Then he became awesome.
  7. Gus Grimly- Gus was alright. He had a nice story and he was just a sweet guy, but I feel like he never really had enough personality to match his fellow season one leads. I do like that he got to be a mailman, though. That was sweet.
  8. Greta Grimly- Greta was very obviously much cooler than her dad, but then she didn't get to anything for the whole show. PUT GRETA IN THE GAME, NOAH. I hope that season 5 will focus on an older her and continue the Solverson legacy.
  9. Stavros Milos- I liked Stavros. He was one of the only side characters that fell into both the jerk and the idiot templates. Unfortunately, his story went nowhere, and he had one of the most depressing endings for a character for no reason whatsoever. He wasn't that bad of a guy! He didn't deserve to think God was punishing him by killing his son!
  10. Don Chumph- Okay, look. Don was a funny idiot, but he felt like he came out of a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TV SHOW. He seemed liked he was from some weird, oddball comedy show about bank robbers until the show gave him Fargo's most disturbing ending for absolutely no reason. The Stavros storyline is my least favorite in Fargo, because not only do none of its characters get reasonable endings, but it also doesn't connect to the main storyline at all. If you took out the entire Stavros story, the season would've made just as much sense. It's only purpose was to give Malvo something to do in episodes 2-6.
​
SEASON TWO- Season two is my favorite season of Fargo, and I think part of what makes it so great is that not only are the characters incredible, but their endings are some of the best in the series. There aren't really any characters in here on the level of Malvo and Lester in terms of originality, but season 2 certainly delivers one of the strongest ensemble casts of a tv show I've seen.
  1. Lou Solverson- Lou is my favorite character from Fargo. He was pretty cool in season one, but getting to see him in season two in his prime pushed him over the edge. Usually the standout character from a season of Fargo is the bad guy, but this is one of the rare cases where therein character steals the show. Also, his defense of the police station from the Gerhardts was maybe the coolest scene in the show.
  2. Peggy Blumquist- Peggy, the self-realized lunatic of season two, was the provider of chaos for season two. Season one had Malvo, three had Nikki, four had... pretty much every character, but here Peggy is the one that leaves a trail of craziness (and dead bodies) everywhere that she goes. Her final scenes in the supermarket and Lou's police car are some of the most heartbreaking in the show, giving her one of my favorite character endings in the series.
  3. Mike Milligan- Mike was just cool. I've realized from watching the entirety of the show that Mike really doesn't do much in season two; he kills Otto and the Undertaker, and he very briefly takes over the Gerhardt house, but besides that he has little to no effect on the outcome of the season. And yet... every time he does or says anything, it just FEELS important. He may not do that much plot-wise, but style and feeling-wise, Mike Milligan is season two. And his grim backstory in season four is just the icing on the cake.
  4. Hanzee Dent- Hanzee was a great character from episodes 1-7. Then episodes 8-10 happened and he reached legendary status. Watching Hanzee orchestrate the Sioux Falls massacre and then get away with it is truly quality television, and the sheer buildup of subtle racism that follows him throughout the show makes his breaking point all the more satisfying. But what makes the story of Hanzee so sad is that in the end, he just became that fat mob boss from season one that Lorne kills. He wound up just being another dead body in somebody else's story.
  5. Hank Larsson- "Ted Danson as a cop in the 70s" was basically the pitch for this character, but it works so much better than it should have. The trio of Hank, Lou and Betsy is genuinely the best part of season two.
  6. Floyd Gerhardt- Poor, poor Floyd. From the first episode we see that Floyd is a tactical genius who was made to run the Gerhardt family, but we know that she will never get the same respect as her husband just because she's a woman. Her ending is so perfectly anti-climactic, too. One of the saddest characters from Fargo.
  7. Betsy Solverson- Lou's wife is docked a couple points for never really being allowed to get in on the action (I would have LOVED to see Betsy take down a Gerhardt) but she still provides some much needed warmth to the show and grounds some of the more crazier episodes, like "The Castle" or the finale.
  8. Dodd Gerhardt- Dodd Gerhardt succeeds by being one of the most vile, unredeemable characters in the show's history. While most of the show's villains can be found to be somewhat sympathetic, Dodd is just the guy you're supposed to hate. And he hits the mark every time.
  9. Joe Bulo- Joe Bulo's death was a real heartbreak. He was really funny.
  10. The Kitchen Brothers- Much like Wrench and Numbers, these two mostly-silent hitmen nearly stole the show a couple of times. Unfortunately, Brother #1 dies halfway through the show, and they just don't feel like a complete set without both of them.
  11. Ed Blumquist- Ed was fine, but he falls into the same character as Gus where he just can't compare to his costars. I'd take Gus over Ed though, because Gus was just cooler.
  12. Simone Gerhardt- Eh. She could've done a lot more, and by her death she was the season's only character who felt like a waste.
  13. Constance Heck- Fargo would eventually take another shot at crafting a good lesbian character (it was kind of better), but Constance was pretty much a waste of screen time.
  14. Bear Gerhardt- I don't understand Bear. He's the nice Gerhardt, but also he kills Simone? He cares about the family, and yet he tries to kill literally everybody in the family? He trusts Hanzee, but he also... doesn't? Bear felt way to underdeveloped, and I honestly think season two would have made a lot more sense without him in it.
​
SEASON THREE- If I had to choose, I think season three has the best bunch of main characters. Gloria, Emmett, Ray, Nikki, Vargas, and Sy are six of the show's best characters. Some of their endings I could give or take, and the supporting characters this season aren't as strong as two, but this is easily my favorite group out of the four seasons.
  1. V.M. Vargas- For awhile, it looked like the show was never going to top Malvo as far as villains. And for some people, I'm sure Fargo still hasn't. But to me, V.M. Vargas is the show's greatest bad guy, and for one very specific reason: he's not another Malvo. The show could've very easily taken the route of putting that same scary-hitman character template into every season, but instead the show gave us a character so entirely different than anything before. Everything about him just makes your skin want to crawl, and the way that he completely destroys the lives of everybody he encounters is so fascinating to me. As for his ending, I would like to believe that Vargas does get jailed away, but I'm not so sure...
  2. Gloria Burgle- My favorite scene in season three is the final one, which is probably due to the fact that it's one of only a handful that my two favorite characters share together. Gloria is one of Fargo's best moral centers, as she is the first one who seriously needs another moral center to make her feel happy. She's one of the show's most human characters, and watching her rise past Chief Moe in the end and land a great job was a perfect little ending for her.
  3. Nikki Swango- Nikki was just cool. She was the Mike Milligan of season three, where she was the cool, smart character who walked the line between villain and antihero for the whole season. In the end, I'd put Nikki closer to the hero side than Mike, as her rebellion against Vargas in the final episodes turned her into the character to root for.
  4. Emmitt Stussy- I love season three because with the exception of Vargas and Nikki, nobody has any idea what is going on at all for the whole show. It's just a bunch of very dumb people bopping around for ten episodes, and I love it. This is why I love Emmitt, the epitome of the "dumb guy who makes a big mistake" Fargo character.
  5. Ray Stussy- I like Emmitt more than Ray, mainly because he has more character development and Ray never really gets a satisfying ending. But for the time he's alive, Ray was the center of season three's warmth. The first time you watch season three, it's unclear if Nikki actually loves Ray or if she's just using him. But on a rewatch where you know the full story, the scenes between Ray and Nikki become so sad.
  6. Sy Feltz- Poor Sy. He was just an idiot of epic proportions.
  7. Wes Wrench- When Mr. Wrench popped back up on that bus, my heart literally stopped beating for a second.
  8. Yuri Gurka- Yuri was, in my opinion, Fargo's scariest character. The Russian accent? The ruthless killing tactics? The unpredictability? The wolf mask? Horrifying stuff.
  9. Winnie Lopez- Winnie was kind, and she was a nice friend to Gloria. That alone gives her enough to be in the top ten.
  10. Meemo- Meemo wasn't as scary as Yuri, but watching him transform into a lawyer for that one scene was eerily terrifying. Unlike Yuri, Meemo was smart. Which, in a way, makes him a lot scarier.
  11. Larue Dollard- Larue, the hapless accountant who accidentally discovers Vargas' empire, was probably the most normal guy to ever enter a season of Fargo. Good for him for surviving!
  12. Ennis Stussy / Thaddeus Mobley- Season three's brief detour back into the seventies was a season high-point, but Thaddeus was too dumb to be that likable. Also, when he got older, he turned into a real homophobe. Not cool, Thaddeus.
  13. Gloria's Kid- I don't know his name, but I didn't care for this kid. Nothing against him, but the show didn't give him enough to do or give him enough of a character. Much like Greta, Fargo wasted another potentially great child character.
  14. Chief Moe Dammick- It's odd that the most easily dislikable Fargo character isn't one of the main villains, but this absolutely awful police chief. He literally does everything in his power to stop Gloria for NO REASON. I hate this guy so much.
​
SEASON FOUR- Season four got an unfair rep in my opinion. It wasn't on the level of the first three seasons, but it was still better than 90% of television. In fact, I loved the characters from season four. Loved them. My big problem is their endings. Half of the characters this season felt critically underused (probably due to the fact that the main cast was twice as large as it should have been), and some of the endings felt very out of place. Still a great season, but not as successful as before.
  1. Loy Cannon- Chris Rock was incredible as Loy Cannon, and he provided the one character from this season I have no problems with whatsoever. Everything about Loy and his arc I loved, and his ending was the saddest part of season four.
  2. Satchel Cannon- See what happens when you let the kids do stuff on Fargo, Noah Hawley?? Coming after Greta and mini-Gloria in the long line of underutilized children of Fargo, Satchel had a lot going against him... until East / West hit and it became clear season four was his story. I figured out Satchel was Mike Milligan fairly early on in the season, but the slow build to this reveal was beautiful, and that final shot of Mike Milligan loading his gun like Rabbi taught him was one of the best scenes in the series.
  3. Oraetta Mayflower- I love crazy people in shows and movies, so Oraetta was an instant win for me. Jessie Buckley turns in one of Fargo's all-time great performances as the deranged, racist angel of darkness. My biggest complaint is that Oraetta did nothing the whole season and felt like she belonged in an entirely different story. I wish so deeply that we could have seen her go full-Hanzee and start killing people as the season started to end, but instead she just... died. Eh. If she was actually given something to do, she would've easily jumped to #1.
  4. Gaetano Fadda- YES!!! In the beginning, I hated Gaetano. I thought he made no sense. He was supposed to be scary, but he wasn't. He was some weird, dumb freak who I didn't care about. And then he and Gaetano became best friends and I realized it... Gaetano Fadda isn't supposed to be scary. He's meant to be a weird, dumb freak who believes himself to be scary. Suddenly, he became my favorite part of the season. And watching him die by tripping over himself only solidified the idea that he really didn't mean anything to anybody.
  5. Josto Fadda- Josto was a so-so character given a great arc. I loved watching him slowly drive himself crazy, ending with him eventually getting killed by his own people. He was a little over the top, but Jason Schwartzman was great and the character's ending was great, so I have no complaints.
  6. Etherilda Pearl Smutny- Poor, poor Etherilda. She was introduced in episode one and I was SO EXCITED for her to be the no-nonsense moral center of season 4. I wanted to watch her crack the mystery. I wanted her to save the day. And instead... she did absolutely nothing the entire season. I spent the whole season waiting for her to become a main character again, and all she wound up doing was giving a dead guy's ring to Loy. Thankfully, she was still a joy to watch onscreen, and that ending shot was perfect, but WHY DID SHE NOT GET TO DO ANYTHING???
  7. Dick "Deafy" Wickware- Timothy Olyphant took a so-so character and made him legendary. He's docked a couple of points for dying like a wimp and not really adding anything to the main story, but he was a joy to spend time with.
  8. Doctor Senator- If he stuck around for a while longer, Doctor Senator would have placed a lot higher here. Unfortunately, his death was neccessary for Loy's character arc, but while he was still kicking, DS ruled.
  9. Rabbi Milligan- A true tragic figure, I liked everything about Rabbi Milligan. I liked his story, I liked his acting, I liked how he got sucked up in a tornado. I didn't love it, but I liked it.
  10. Odis Weff- Same as above. I liked him. I didn't love him, but I sure did like him.
  11. Happy- Happy only showed up in the penultimate episodes (appropriately titled "Happy"), but his appearance only made me wish that Happy was around longer. That guy was awesome! What was that whole thing with the frames? I want to know! I want his story! unfortunately, he was only in about two scenes and then died. But I loved Happy.
  12. Buel Cannon- Buel Cannon was awesome and didn't do enough. She deserved main-character status over Zelmare and Swanee 100%
  13. Lemuel Cannon- Lemuel was cool and played the trumpet. Another character who should've gotten more screen time, Lemuel deserved better.
  14. Dibrell Smutny- As far as no-nonsense moms go, I prefer Buel to Dibrell, but she still shined in a couple of key scenes. Plus, she was much cooler than her husband.
  15. That Freaky Sea Captain- He was kinda cool.
  16. Ebal Violante- I liked him in the first 10 episodes, but then in the final episode he went full Disney Twist Villain by taking a full 180 on his personality and becoming a supervillain. It was weird, but I get why it happened.
  17. Odie Sparkman- Much like nearly everybody else in the cast, Odie wasn't given enough to do, but his time in the spotlight in East / West was nice, if brief.
  18. Zelmare Roulette- Zelmare and Swanee were my least favorite part of season 4. They had no reason to be there, and I felt like they just took away time from the main cast. Episodes 1, 9, 10, and 11 were my favorites from season 4, which are the only 4 episodes these bozos don't appear in (well, Zelmare was in 11, but only for a second). Zelmare places higher because I liked her stuff with Dibrell (and because it was nice that Fargo finally did a good lesbian romance after the misfire in season two), but besides that I would count her story as Fargo's biggest misfire.
  19. Doctor Harvard- Ew.
  20. Swanee Capps- She was just a worse version of Zelmare. Her only redeeming quality was that she continued Fargo's long tradition of vomiting onscreen.
​
And here is my list of favorite characters from all four season:
  1. Lou Solverson
  2. V.M. Varga
  3. Peggy Blumquist
  4. Lorne Malvo
  5. Gloria Burgle
  6. Lester Nygaard
  7. Mike Milligan / Satchel Cannon
  8. Nikki Swango
  9. Loy Cannon

(Spoilers Extended) The Sun Also Sets: Fan-Service and the Adaptation of Dorne in GAME OF THRONES

Intro

Before Season Eight, before the wight hunt, before the Waif chased Arya through Braavos, the original sin of Game of Thrones was Dorne (according to fans anyways). Introduced in Season Five's "The House of Black and White", Dorne became the Season Five's most-reviled location and subplot. Why?
To many fans of the TV series, Dorne failed, because it was poorly-written and lacked the dense and careful plotting of other settings and subplots. Moreover, it served as a distraction from already-established settings and plots.
For fans of the book, there was a more complicated response. Dorne is not universally-loved by fans of the books. Many book fans dislike Dorne, viewing it as filler material that George RR Martin introduced in A Feast for Crows to pad out the length of that book. So, these fans were disinclined to like TV Dorne from the get-go. Other book fans love Dorne as a setting and the POVs introduced, particularly Arianne and Quentyn Martell. (Some love Areo Hotah too. But poor Arys Oakheart don't get no respect.) That Arianne and Quentyn (and I guess Arys Oakheart after he was seen sailing away with Myrcella in S02) were never featured led to disappointment and then dislike of Dorne by these fans.
I sympathize with all of these reasons for disliking Show!Dorne (even agree with some of them!), but there's more to it. In tracing why Dorne came into being both in the books and the show, we'll be able to chart what exactly led to the failure of the Dornish subplot in the show and more importantly, why it failed and what George will do differently in The Winds of Winter and beyond.

Why Dorne? (ASOIAF)

In George's original conception of A Song of Ice and Fire, Dorne was a place on a map, or, at best, a location where George could integrate backstory into - namely, Elia of Dorne and her brutal murder by Gregor Clegane. But there was potential for future story development even in A Game of Thrones. As Viserys Targaryen tells Daenerys in her first chapter:
"The realm will rise for its rightful king. Tyrell, Redwyne, Darry, Greyjoy, they have no more love for the Usurper than I do. The Dornishmen burn to avenge Elia and her children." (AGOT, Daenerys I)
So, George had the potential for Dorne to come into greater prominence someday down the road if he chose to bring them to the fore. However, I don't want to lose focus here. If you'd like to read more about the way GRRM gardened Dorne into existence, I have an essay ("Water-Gardening House Martell Into ASOIAF: How GRRM Integrated Westeros’ Most Mysterious Great House Into the Main Narrative") on that.
In A Storm of Swords, George RR Martin introduced the character of Prince Oberyn Martell on-page. In Oberyn Martell, George RR Martin caught lightning in a bottle as this character proved popular and endearing to fans. Moreover, George, himself, seemed to really like writing about Oberyn. So much so, that he wanted more Dorne. In 1998, two years before the publication of ASOS, George told a fan:
The Dornishmen will come on stage in A STORM OF SWORDS and will have an even larger role in A DANCE WITH DRAGONS. As to why they have stayed aloof, well, both history and geography have set them apart from the rest of the Seven Kingdoms. – So Spake Martin, 12/18/1998
So, George caught inspiration from writing Oberyn Martell, and he wanted to get deeper into Dorne as a result. After the publication of ASOS, another fan had a Dornish-oriented question:
Oberyn the Red Viper should NOT have died. In him you had one of the coolest and most interesting off all your characters.
GRRM: Wait till you meet his daughters. – GRRM, So Spake Martin, 2/1/2001
So, now the inspiration from Oberyn was being carried over to his daughters, that is the Sand Snakes. In fact, the Sand Snakes were one of the main reasons why George RR Martin abandoned the Five-Year Gap, saying:
During Q&A, GRRM revealed what seemed to be the major reason for the five-year gap. He said that he realized something. He had to deal with the reaction to Oberyn’s death in Dorne. He thought of different ways that he could handle things. He could have just summarized what happened, without talking about it very much, but he did not want to do this. He could have decided that for some reason there was no reaction, or a delayed reaction, but the reasons he could come up for to do that did not make sense. So, he finally realized that the story needed to be told. – GRRM, So Spake Martin, 8/23/2002
Of course, George's desire to see the Dornish reaction to Oberyn's death was only one part of the equation. Somewhere along the way, GRRM decided to graft Dorne to two other parts of the story: Daenerys' and Young Griff's. What seemed to happen, then, was that George then took the "Sand Snakes' reaction to Oberyn's death" ideas he had for Dorne and then stapled them to Dorne's integration into Dany and Young Griff's stories. We'll unpack that later.

Why Dorne? (Game of Thrones)

By the end of Season Three, Game of Thrones was a massive critical and commercial success. The Red Wedding was what David Benioff and Dan Weiss had wanted to achieve as Weiss told Entertainment Weekly:
"The Red Wedding was the thing we always told ourselves, “If we get to this moment that’s in the books, and if we do it right, then [the show will] be in a pretty good place and the energy that [the twist] injects into this story will be enough to get us through to the end.” - Dan Weiss, Entertainment Weekly, 2019
And now that they had achieved it, creating a TV event that entered the cultural zeitgeist (where it remains today) but whence goeth Game of Thrones thereafter?
Largely, the showrunners followed their bible in the form of the remainder of A Storm of Swords when they adapted Game of Thrones, Season Four. They did the Battle of the Wall, Arya and Sandor's reaction to the Red Wedding and Daenerys moving on Meereen. And they cast Pedro Pascal as Oberyn Martell and then brought the Prince of Dorne to King's Landing.
In Oberyn and especially Pascal's performance as Oberyn, the showrunners caught lightning in a bottle same as George did in A Storm of Swords. Pascal's performance was electrifying, and he made an indelible and lasting impression. And though cuts and adaptational changes were made from the book material to the show, largely, the show stayed faithful to the books.
But in staying true to the books, D&D killed off Oberyn Martell in his duel with Gregor Clegane. And now that Oberyn was dead, what would they do? Would they follow GRRM's model and go to Dorne? Originally, that was not in the cards:
"We were so happy to be able to include [Dorne]. We didn’t know if it would fit, to be honest—because of budgeting, scheduling and story reasons. There were a lot of ways we had to cram it in. But it’s such an important place. Of all the places in Westeros you’d ever want to live, the Dornish seem to have figured out the right approach to life. It’s the one most aligned with what our approach to life would be if we weren’t making this show. It’s our Brazil—we dream of Dorne and the way they do things down there. And Indira Varma [who was introduced as Ellaria Sand last season]—once you have someone of her caliber, you want to double down on that casting strength. Also the Sand Snakes are such a fun, exciting addition to that world. [Prince Oberyn Martell] opened up a tiny window into this world last season, and now you get to go through that window and see what kind of world this is that made this person we loved so much." - Dan Weiss, Entertainment Weekly Interview 2015
It's an understated parallel that the showrunners and writers of Game of Thrones found themselves in a similar place as George RR Martin did in writing A Song of Ice and Fire. Where originally Dorne wasn't going to be featured in the Thrones Show (or ASOIAF), they decided to feature it to see the reaction of Dorne to Oberyn's death and also to meet with the Sand Snakes (and Ellaria Sand).
At the same time as they were making the decision to feature Dorne as a location in Season Five, they were also making other hard adaptational choices which would impact Dorne.

Adaptation is Hard

A sense I get (but haven't seen in any recorded interview) is that another factor which drove the the showrunners to feature Dorne is fan-service for fans of the book series. That may be entirely wrong-headed, but I recall reading that Bryan Cogman, a writer and loremaster of Game of Thrones, was instrumental in convincing D&D to have Dorne be on the show. And Bryan is an even more fervent fan of the books than D&D (who are reported to have read the books over a dozen times) are. Here's Bryan talking about Dorne in James Hibberd's recently-published book Fire Cannot Kill a Dragon:
BRYAN COGMAN (co–executive producer): Dorne was always tricky. When you read the book, it’s essentially a spin-off within the book. It’s really compelling. It’s really interesting. But it’s an entirely new cast of characters, and it only really links up with the main storyline through Myrcella. For a long time, I didn’t think we were going to do it. Season five is not the time when you normally introduce twenty-five new characters. - Fire Cannot Kill a Dragon, "A Detour in Dorne"
In a vacuum, the inclusion of Dorne seems smart. The Prince of Dorne's death, the second most powerful man in Dorne and certainly the most popular person in Dorne would garner a reaction from the Dornish. And the Dornish material from AFFC/ADWD was "really compelling/really interesting." So, they ended up deciding to showcase Dorne in Game of Thrones.
But how to show a location which had never been featured on the show? Bryan Cogman proposed a solution:
BRYAN COGMAN: I proposed that Jaime would be a good way in. You take one of our main characters and use that person as an audience surrogate into this new world and that might be a way that we can do a version of Dorne that fits in our framework and, frankly, within the time and budgetary constraints of the show.
Jaime Lannister and Ser Bronn of the Blackwater serve as our respective Luke Skywalker in Dorne (Dorne is fantasy Tatooine after all). Conceptually, they would be the audience avatar to explore a brand new setting. Plus, they had a surviving Dornish character who could help with audience familiarity as they had cast Indira Varma in Season Four as Ellaria Sand. Additionally, they cast the venerable Alexander Siddig (who played the beloved Dr. Julian Bashir in Star Trek) as Prince Doran Martell and brought on Academy Award winner Keisha Castle-Hughes (Obara Sand) and relative newcomers Jessica Henwick (Nymeria Sand) and Rosabell Laurenti Sellers (Tyene Sand).
The casting of veteran actors and newcomers had been hallmark of the success of Game of Thrones seen as far back in Season One with Sean Bean, Mark Addy and Lena Headey occupying the veteran actor role, and all of the child actors (Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner) and up-and-coming actors (Richard Madden, Kit Harrington and Emilia Clarke) mixing it up on-screen and creating the show we loved.
So, now they had a plan, they had the cast. What went wrong?

(Almost) Everything Went Wrong: Major Plot Points: Cutting Young Griff

Here's the problem. At the same time they were deciding to feature the further adventures of Dorne, David Benioff and Dan Weiss were making difficult adaptational choices with the Dornish storyline: namely, they decided against adapting Arianne Martell's and Quentyn Martell's stories seen in A Feast for Crows, A Dance with Dragons and The Winds of Winter. And the reason they seemed to cut these POV characters' stories was tied into Young Griff's story as GRRM talked about in Fire Cannot Kill a Dragon.
GEORGE R. R. MARTIN: I thought Feast for Crows and Dance with Dragons would be recombined, because you can’t separate them the way I did in the books, and I thought there were three seasons there. At the very least, two seasons. But they got through it all in one season because they eliminated so much. They really started taking shortcuts and cutting things. They eliminated Lady Stoneheart and Quentyn Martell and his voyage across the world and Tyrion’s journey where he goes to Pentos and hooks up with Magister Illyrio, and then he crosses the hills and meets up with Jon Connington and Aegon on the river and they make the long journey down the river to Volantis and they encounter Jorah Mormont, who takes him prisoner—they skipped over that.
So, now you start to see a storytelling problem. As we talked about, George's original inspiration for having Dorne enter center-stage in the books was to give us the Sand Snakes and Dorne's reaction to the death of Oberyn. But that was not the only reason for Dorne to be in ASOIAF! Instead, George made the (correct) call for the Dornish storyline to connect with the main story of ASOIAF: namely, Dany's and Young Griff's stories. That's why Quentyn and Arianne become POV characters.
But, again, adaptation is hard. Hard and necessary cuts to the stories have to be made. And the showrunners recognized that a "bottle subplot" wouldn't resonate with watchers. They had to integrate it into already-existing stories and characters. So, they came up with the aforementioned Jaime and Bronn go to Dorne story to rescue Myrcella idea.

(Almost) Everything Went Wrong: Characters: The Sand Snakes

But now that Jaime and Bronn were going to Dorne to rescue Myrcella, they had to figure out who was endangering Myrcella. The persons they chose for that role were Ellaria Sand and Oberyn's daughters: the Sand Snakes. This is a bit of a change from how A Feast for Crows did this plot. There, the Sand Snakes didn't plan on murdering Myrcella. Instead, Tyene proposed crowning Myrcella, Arianne almost did the crowning herself and then Gerold "Darkstar" Dayne made the attempt on Myrcella's life.
In Game of Thrones, this was consolidated and adapted to the Sand Snakes and Ellaria Sand try to (and eventually succeed) in murdering Myrcella Baratheon. They were only saved by the deus ex machina arrival of Jaime and Bronn at the moment they made the (first) attempt.
But fans ended up focusing on the deus ex machina of Jaime and Bronn's arrival or singling out the bad fight choreography between Jaime/Bronn vs. the Sand Snakes and missed something big: we didn't care about the Sand Snakes. And the reason we didn't care about the Sand Snakes is because we barely knew their names or anything about them.
This was something that Nymeria Sand actor Jessica Henwick talked about in 2016:
They had to introduce three characters all at once and differentiate them. When you’re limited to an introduction of two lines per character and there are four characters in the scene—during our introduction scene in Season 5—it’s hard to create a lasting impression. You kind of have to shove a character down the audience’s throat and Game of Thrones’ success is in its multifaceted characters. At the time it was definitely frustrating feeling like there’s so much potential here, and a lot of the stuff that we shot didn’t make the final cut. It was hard.
So, the Sand Snakes' material was constrained by the lack of time they could give to this plot point. So, the adaptational choices the showrunners and writers made is completely understandable. They had to consolidate plots, characters and stories within the time constraints of one season. And the Sand Snakes' murder of Myrcella makes character sense and is in some keeping with the spirit of how these characters act in the books.
However, as George was saying: he thought they should do AFFC/ADWD in 2-3 seasons, and a lot of people (including me!) thought George was cynically trying to buy more time for him to finish Winds with those types of statements. The more I reflect on the adaptations of the later seasons of Game of Thrones, the more I think I was wrong. George wasn't being cynical at all. He was making an artistic case as opposed to a please, more time, a few months, a year, two years, and then you'll have TWOW. I promise. So, perhaps my sympathy for the showrunners and writers is misplaced.
However, where I'm truly less sympathetic with is the adaptation of Ellaria Sand.

(Almost) Everything Went Wrong: A Character Study of Ellaria Sand

Permit a short long book digression about Ellaria Sand. There's this common belief that George RR Martin sUbVeRtS eXpEcTaTiOnS, and that's what gives ASOIAF sUbTlE nUaNcE. It's a meme, but it brushes up against a surface-level truth about how Martin writes ASOIAF. He writes plot twists and nuanced characters that often subvert reader expectation. But that's much more grounded within a character framework. A plot beat that subverted expectations in ASOIAF is Ellaria Sand coming out as a voice for peace.
After A Storm of Swords introduces her, Ellaria Sand remains off-page until she returns in Areo Hotah's "The Watcher" chapter from A Dance with Dragons. There, you'd expect that Ellaria Sand, Oberyn's paramour who witnessed Oberyn's gruesome death, to join in the chorus of Sand Snakes all clamoring for Doran to sack Oldtown, murder children or crown Myrcella. Instead, in ADWD, Ellaria comes out as a voice for peace:
"Oberyn wanted vengeance for Elia. Now the three of you want vengeance for him. I have four daughters, I remind you. Your sisters. My Elia is fourteen, almost a woman. Obella is twelve, on the brink of maidenhood. They worship you, as Dorea and Loreza worship them. If you should die, must El and Obella seek vengeance for you, then Dorea and Loree for them? Is that how it goes, round and round forever? I ask again, where does it end?" Ellaria Sand laid her hand on the Mountain's head. "I saw your father die. Here is his killer. Can I take a skull to bed with me, to give me comfort in the night? Will it make me laugh, write me songs, care for me when I am old and sick?" (ADWD, The Watcher)
That's a powerful statement by Ellaria. It's powerful, because she saw the horrors visited upon the man she loved, and yet she's standing against striking out against innocents to satisfy her personal feelings. She's standing up for innocents like her children -- and even for innocents like Tommen and Myrcella:
Obara bristled. "I never did and never shall." She gave the skull a mocking kiss. "This is a start, I'll grant."
"A start?" said Ellaria Sand, incredulous. "Gods forbid. I would it were a finish. Tywin Lannister is dead. So are Robert Baratheon, Amory Lorch, and now Gregor Clegane, all those who had a hand in murdering Elia and her children. Even Joffrey, who was not yet born when Elia died. I saw the boy perish with mine own eyes, clawing at his throat as he tried to draw a breath. Who else is there to kill? Do Myrcella and Tommen need to die so the shades of Rhaenys and Aegon can be at rest? Where does it end?" (ADWD, The Watcher)
That strikes a better and more interesting tone for Ellaria. It's that theme of "where does it end" that George deftly explores in AFFC/ADWD, and it's all coming from a woman who just watched her lover and father of her children die horribly in front of her eyes. How powerful!
Unfortunately in Season Five, that dynamic is radically-altered. Instead of that powerful dynamic of a woman who has every emotional right to desire vengeance but wants the violence to come to an end, we get Ellaria Sand: mastermind of the plot to murder Myrcella.
My reading is that D&D thought that Ellaria Sand, a brokenhearted widow, developing the plan to kill Myrcella was the show's attempt to subvert expectations. A woman who wants to to MURDER!? Whoa. I'm exaggerating for effect, but the subversion that Thrones did was tied to Ellaria's gender and how she bucked a traditional gender role of women are damsels in distress or are peacemakers and non-violent by nature. That trope is shitty and sexist, and that seemed to be what the writers of Season Five were reacting against. But as we were talking about before, George was responding to a different trope.
You can be the judge about which subversion is more effective and emotionally poignant.

The Hard Reset: Killing Off Dorane

All of the above were not the only problems with Dorne. Doran Martell was radically altered to fit what the showrunners wanted the character to be and do. Instead of being a secret Targaryen supporter who had the best plan (citation needed), the only plan (more citations, please), a foolproof plan (I'm going to assume that you don't believe in citations) to achieve vengeance for Oberyn, Elia and her children, he oscillated between passivity and reacting to the Sand Snakes on the show.
On Game of Thrones, Doran Martell is not faking his appeasement of the Lannisters. He just wants to be left out of the war. Fine, then, says Game of Thrones. You'll be left out of the war, permanently.
The above in tongue-in-cheek. The reality is Doran Martell, Areo Hotah and Trystane Martell were killed off in the very first episode of Season Six, and that was a statement by the showrunners. What kind of statement? Alexander Siddig was interviewed, and he had some ... thoughts about it:
"Something happened; I have no idea what. There was an enormous amount of fan excitement when I got named to be on the show, and everyone was like, “Oh my god, yes, Doran Martell. He’s going to be great as Doran Martell.” That might have been the kiss of death. Maybe they didn’t want quite that much attention on that character. Maybe they thought, “Well, let’s prove that we’re going to stray from the books. We’re going to do something else, and he will be our first example of that.” Or maybe I just screwed up. Maybe I said the wrong thing to the wrong person."
With respect to Siddig, I don't think it was that he said the wrong thing or that Doran Martell got too much attention. Instead, with a massive fan outcry against Dorne in the show, the showrunners seemed to listen to what fans were saying. And fans said Dorne sucked.
To be fair, when D&D were interviewed by James Hibberd about Dorne for Fire Cannot Kill a Dragon, they put their decision to kill off Doran/Dorne in a different spin:
DAVID BENIOFF: There are times I’m watching shows, or even reading books, where I’m wondering, “Why are we spending time with these characters we don’t really know or care about when I want to be with that person instead?” The big lesson was there are characters who mean so much to us and that’s who we want to spend time with. It’s their journeys we’re most curious about seeing where they go.
DAN WEISS: In a book you can branch out into a whole different world. But if you do that in television, for whatever reason, a different set of rules apply. I’m sure it would have been fascinating to build out a proper Dorne, but the time it would take would come at the expense of what we needed to cover.
Now, I think there's a small element of truth in there insomuch as D&D were reluctant to go to Dorne altogether, and their reluctance may have been borne of knowing the time constraints that would inevitably be placed on Dorne. But c'mon. That means they can do a better job of writing Dorne/Doran for Season Six. Instead, they killed Doran, Areo and Trystane and Dorne as a location, but they didn't kill off all the Dornish characters.
"Weak men will never rule Dorne" was what Ellaria said to Doran Martell as he lay dying. Please allow me to express my sincere opinion of this line. No. It is not Indira Varma's delivery of the line that's the problem. It's the reason why it's in the show in the first place.
This will seem off-topic, but I promise I'll bring it back around. I also need to emphasize up-front that I am not the subject matter expert of feminism or feminism as depicted in HBO's Game of Thrones. So, if I come across as insensitive, it's by omission rather than commission. But ... this line and the killing off of all speaking-role male Dornish characters. Boy. It seems to have been written to the tune of the "Women on Top" marketing that Season Six tried to pull off. And why were they trying to pull this off? I believe it's because of the backlash that Game of Thrones, Season Five received due to the Sansa and Ramsay subplot and rape scene.
The above, I know, will be the most controversial aspect of this essay, but I felt it had to be stated. All the same, they had killed off Dorne by the open to Season Six. And even though Ellaria Sand and the Sand Snakes lived on, joined with Dany's side and fought for her against Euron Greyjoy and the Iron Fleet in Season Seven, they were relegated to bit-part status until their torture and murder by Cersei and Gregor Clegane at the end of Season Seven.
The last time Dorne appeared was in Season Eight's "The Iron Throne" at the Great, er, small Council scene to select Bran as King where a new Prine of Dorne, dubbed "The Fresh Prince of Dorne" by Verge appeared in a minimal role.
And that's it for the adaptation of Dorne in Game of Thrones.

Conclusion: George RR Martin Sends His Regards

To sum it all up: the adaptation of Dorne in Game of Thrones was a failure. It failed because of sympathetic reasons like them cutting Young Griff. It failed for less-sympathetic but understandable reasons like not adapting A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons into two or more seasons. It failed for unsympathetic and not understandable reasons like trying to rewrite Ellaria to be violent to fit a mold and seeming to try to right the wrongs of earlier seasons and ending up being wrong again.
Reportedly, George RR Martin feels similarly to fans about Dorne in the show, allegedly telling a fan at Balticon in 2016:
GRRM talked about Dorne! He wasn't exactly dissing the show, but he didn't have anything good to say about it. One guy talked asked if season 6 would spoil the books for him. Something like "Don't think what happens in the show will happen in the books, the show is completely different. The books will be nothing like that." You could really feel the dislike he had for it.
Moreover, as reviewers of Game of Thrones like Joanna Robinson have noted, GRRM's release of Winds of Winter sample chapters from 2014-2016 (Mercy, Alayne, Arianne II) have been tied to showcasing the difference between the show's direction and the direction George is taking with The Winds of Winter.
I don't think that George is doing Dorne differently than the show for fan-service reasons. His are reasons borne of both his long-term plans for Dorne in the books and that he's going his own way regardless of what the show has done.
But take heart. Dorne will be different in the books.

[Standard] Izzet Giants

Hi there Spikes!
With Kaldheim there are many new archetypes and one that has both been exciting and somewhat disappointing has been Giants. I've seen many streamers try the deck and call it hot garbage and just drop it, but ultimately when the deck feels good, it feels REALLY good. So I've set to work the last few days trying to shore up the weaknesses of the deck and come out with something workable. This is where I've ended up with. I'm sitting at around a 60% win rate with it. I welcome your ideas and suggestions! Below are some card choice discussions and initial matchup impressions. I feel really good about the main deck but the sideboard is still a draft really.
Here is the list
https://scryfall.com/@clockworkArc/decks/074e296b-84cc-46b3-a02d-7abeb7f3bfd1?as=visual&with=usd

Card Choices
2 Aegar, the Freezing Flame - as an inclusion in the deck, he fills two rolls - he's an early play and he can be a draw engine in the right circumstances. Aegar feels really good when you have a Calamity Bearer on the field as the opponent is stuck between choosing to take large amounts of damage or letting you draw cards. He is not overly powerful and somewhat situational, but we can only have 4 Bonecrusher, so I have him in as a two-of. One or both copies get sideboarded out in non-creature matchups.
4 Bonecrusher Giant - One of the main early game pieces. He gives us a low-grade removal or burn spell and a decent body + deals damage when targeted. He always gives you some value. Very good. I'm sure we all expect this. 4/4
4 Calamity Bearer - One of the main engine pieces of the deck. This guy is the guy who makes your opponent's life miserable. He doubles the damage of all giants AND the damage of Quakebringer ticks. Additionally, they stack with each other. So if you have 2 on the field and a Quakebringer in the gy, your opponent is taking 8 damage a turn. Oddly, this doesn't seem to affect Tectonic Giant triggered ability damage procs. I haven't had the interaction come up when Bonecrusher is targeted while Calamity Bearer is on the field (because Bearer is such a high priority threat), but I imagine that is affected by the damage boost. 4/4
3 Tectonic Giant - I didn't expect to like this giant as much as I do. The extra draws or damage can really force your opponent into tough choices. In more spell-oriented matchups, this guy gets his work done. They are less good in creature matchups, so a 3/4.
3 Quakerbringer - The main showpiece of the giant tribal. Everything it does is solid, and the Bringer being in the yard can allow this deck to play as a control deck and still win the game. Excellent against discard decks and Rogues, but slow. As a result of the slowness, they are only played at a 3/4.
4 Invasion of The Giants - This card is the glue that brings this deck together, without this card, it wouldn't be a deck. Scry + Card Draw + Burn + Ramp. This is everything this deck wants to do. 90% of the time it is the strongest turn 2 play you can make. 4/4
3 Battle of Frost and Fire - This is the second glue piece of the deck. This card provides a large amount of value the entire time it is on the board. It totally blows most aggro strategies out of the water (minus Lovestruck Beast :( ). I could see a discussion for only two in the deck, but most of the time you do want to see at least one of these a game. I typically side 1 - 2 copies out against more control matchups, but I do typically keep one in since it can also hit planeswalkers.
2 Disdainful Stroke - I'm finding that the best type of removal for the giants deck seems to be holding up counter magic. As such, between Bonecrushers, Battle of Frost and Fire, or Squash / Soul Sear, there is no 3 mana creature aside from Lovestruck Beast or Skyclave Apparition that can cause us problems. As such, I don't imagine we would ever want Essence Scatter and Disdainful Stroke has been great at keeping annoying creatures or Yorion Saga removal decks at bay.
2 Negate - A flexible tool that can hit engine cards like Henge or removal spells. Don't leave home without at least one!
3 Saw It Coming - I'm finding that in a mana hungry deck like this that the ability to have a universal counterspell up at 2 mana is HUGE. For instance, if you play out Invasion turn 2 - foretell this on turn 3 - then cast a 4 mana giant + hold up counter magic or removal turn 4 feels VERY GOOD.
3 Squash - One of the strongest red removal spells we have! I'd prefer Heartless Act but this serves us in Izzet just fine. It is conditional, but the plus sides are how much it removes and it triggers the 5-mana draw effect of BoFaF even if cast for 2 mana. This has performed very well for me.
2 Shatterskull Smashing - This is a mana hungry deck, and we want more removal. I'm using 2 but had 3 before. 2 feels like the sweet spot.
2 Footfall Crater - HERE IS THE SPICE! This card is for Giants what Witches Oven is for Food. A tiny utility piece that supercharges your game plan. I'd almost go as far as to say this is our Embercleave in our big mana hungry creature deck. Honestly, I'm finding the haste + trample combo to be one of the only ways we can efficiently deal with control strategies and in the late game it can allow you to generate enough momentum to just end the game. Additional copies can be cycled...what's not to love?
1 Surtland Frostpyre - I'm just trying this out really. It has been useful twice. It's a tool against aggro and the late game scry is also nice. This might be slightly better than the blue Castle considering how red mana centric our deck is if we need a scry. Blue Castle is also acceptable or +1 Shatterskull Smashing.
The mana base is not perfect - am missing two izzet pathways and + 1 temple would be ideal.
​
Sideboard Cards
I'm not posting a sideboard guide, but just explaining my thoughts currently. This sideboard is still rough. I welcome your experiences or feedback!
Giant's Amulet - Since adding this to the sideboard I haven't used it yet. Yes, it can be slow, but - like Footfall Crater - it can be a way around control decks, but blanking their spells AND providing a body. In theory, it should work but might not be as strong as more Disdainful Stroke or Negate.
Glimpse The Cosmos - I originally tried using this card in the main deck but ultimately there was just too many other things the deck wants to do + Invasion, BoFaF, Tectonic Giant, and Aegar can all draw us cards. It's in the sideboard for more control oriented matchups but might not be as strong as other options. I might try Annul in this spot instead.
Shredded Sails - Cheap removal vs Rogues + Dragons + Henge. It's nice.
Weathered Runestone - Rakdos is semi popular and is very annoying versus us. This blanks them + Rogues pretty well. Additionally, we don't use any spells from the grave. So it works great.
Mystical Dispute - A great sideboard option against control to help protect our creatures. Miscast might actually be more universally useful in this deck since our creatures eat so much removal.
Soul Sear - Wicked Wolf, Lovestruck Beast, and Seasoned Hallowblade are all very annoying.
Squash - Great against decks where we need to bring big removal.
Reflections of Littjara - This card is more experimental. Often when you can finally get this down, it just gets ECD'd, Binding'd, or countered...BUT in some matchups it has totally won me the game. We don't have a lot of creatures but if you can get this down for more than one turn...you will win.
​
Matchups
Some initial matchup impressions!
Rogues - Honestly, this is the one matchup that feels easy mode. Between our amount of counter magic...the fact that our creatures are bigger than theirs, our sweepers, and quakebringer hitting the yard providing burn damage...It honestly feels like one of the matchups you would play giants for specifically. I haven't even had a problem with the mill yet. We are slow... but the bringers in the yard are faster than they are.
Mono G Food - I only had one matchup against these guys, and I won... but games 2 and 3 were very close. Squash is the mvp here as well as Disdainful Stroke. It feels a little like we are playing as rogues vs Food in that we are trying to stall out the board and win but instead of mill.. we use burn. That being said...we can steal games with cheeky Calamity Bearer plays. Weathered Runestone feels nice.
Rakdos - Again, just the one matchup, but this time I lost...game 1 I stole, but then they barely sneaked out a win on game 2 and 3. Them forcing us to discard Quakebringer is great. Weathered Runestone is great....Yeah, I'm not certain... we just ran out of juice. I was facing a discard Rakdos deck. Against sac might be a bit of a nightmare. Reflections of Littjara may be the way to beat this one. More testing required.
Naya Adventures - Actually not bad. The biggest threat they have is Lovestruck Beast and Mammoth. At one point I had Crush The Weak in the sideboard but didn't really feel I needed it. We stonewall them pretty good, it feels nice.
Control - Playing a slow creature deck vs control does not feel good. Footfall Crater is how we get value out of our creatures. It is very nice. I don't currently have any Thryx but might use some WC to try him out here. In general, I've won some and lost some, but it didn't feel particularly one sided. I haven't faced any Doom decks yet...and I'm not excited to try.
Aggro - Honestly, the only aggro deck that managed to beat me was a Hallowblade + Sky Maul combo. Everything else just got bricked by our sweepers and such.
I'd appreciate any feedback or discoveries you have made on your own trying out this archetype!
