Robb got done dirty character wise imo compared to books, and Jon one of my fave chars in the books has been one of my least fave in the show due to shitty acting and development
that whole scene with jon at the gift (they haven't mentioned that part of land yet) was pretty cliche. varymyr making jon kill one of his own was cheesy as fuck. varymyr dying the way he did also is bullshit.. i feel that people who have not read the books should know more about him, so im going to tell a bit more about him.. he is already dead so whats the harm
.
varymyr is a fairly evil, powerful, and twisted person. he killed his own brother early in his life using one of his many familiars. his family finds out, forcing his father to bring him to haggon, an elder warg. haggon taught varymyr how to warg properly, and becomes his mentor. varymyr eventually kills him and steals haggon's wolf that was intended for haggon to have to survive out of his human host. over the years varymyr gained 3 wolves, a bear, and a shadowcat as his familiars, thus his nickname became varymyr sixskins. what haggon also taught him before varymyr murdered him however which is incredibly important, is to never put yourself into another human. it's an abomination. varymyr didn't care, and would do it anyways. he also still lives in the books in one of his wolves named one eye, after a failed attempt to put himself into another human.
there's more.. im summarizing quite a bit.. but this is what deadly is meaning, there is so much more character development in the books.. varymyr was one of my favorites to read about, yet his role in the show was cheapened. he also never had any interest in ygritte.
