Stannis Baratheon would make a better ruler of Westeros than Daenerys Targaryen

Sadly this is not off the book but just the TV so I will debate as suchI will offer rebuttals in later rounds, but first reasons why Daenerys would make a better queen. I would first like to start with what makes a good king or queen. See the youtube video at the top when Tywin is talking to Tommen about what makes a good king. He says thisTywin starts by asking Tommen what makes a good king. He responds with holiness, just, and strength. Tywin corrects him on why each of these is wrong, and Tommen finally responds with wisdom where Tywin agrees and says that wisdom is the key to being a good king. This is a hint that wisdom will bring in all the other traits as well [5]. http://www.youtube.com...C1) Ability to learn fastThis is where she excels at. From the start of season 1 she has grew into a great rule and leader. She started the show as someone who had no confidence or ability to rule. Between the Start of season 1 and where the show currently ended we are looking at nearly a 2 year gap[1]. So she has had nearly 2 years to develop and become who she is. We first have to look at how she became this way. She was promised to Khal Drogo leader of the Dothraki tribe. The Dothraki are all about male dominance and follow their leader by a trial of combat[2]. Daenerys was promised to Drogo against her will and at first was not very pleased, but as time progressed she learned her fate. Even agreeing to sex on wedding their night, and eventually falling in love with Drogo. s://moremomoa. files. wordpress. com. .. ; alt="" />This is also evident by the tears she shed when drogo finally passed, and how far she went to bring him back. She tried to bring him back to life from the dead because she loved him so much. Before Drogo died I would also like to show how much respect she had gained in the Dothraki. She was not liked by all but by a great many. Even after Drogo died she became khaleesi and the first female woman to rule the Dothraki. Even after drogos death a great many Dothraki chose to follow her, while some others left and went back to their own ways. This shows how much persuasion she has a leader, and how she developed. Over the year she was with Drogo she grew from being scared and weak to someone who could command the Dothraki. This is even more evident after her dragons are born C2) Mental FortitudeIn addition to being raped by Drogo, she also is treated with a lack of respect throughout the first series but that quickly changes. Throughout the second and third books, she catches her stride. She was granted 3 dragon eggs and started to take care of her dragons after they hatched. If we fast forward to her slavers conquest, we can see how much mental fortitude she has. Her first stop was in Astapor, where she bought the unsullied. Immediately after buying them she had her dragons kill the slave leaders, and granted the unsullied freedom. They still chose to follow her out of their own free will. This does now just show how capable she is at getting people to follow her, but how her mental fortitude is strong in certain situations[3]. After this we visit Meereen[4], it is here where she kills all the slavers and sets the slaves free. Still adding to her army. On her way to Meereen she found slave children nailed to crosses and other objects on the way to the city. In response to this, she had everyone who participated in this act in turn killed and nailed in the same manner. She possess a fair but strong temper, and makes the right choices most of the time. She has had to make some tough calls but her fortitude and what she has been through allows her make the right ones. C3) Ability to gain followersAs I stated prior to this, she started out with no one and just within the span of 2 years she has collected an army that could challenge the army of kings landing. She has gained(1) The Dothraki(2) Jorah Mormont(3) The Unsullied (this includes the skill of greyworm)(4) An army of slaves(5) Missandei(6) Barristan Selmy(7) Daario Naharis(8) The second sons(9) dragonsThis just keeps growing as the story progresses. Even when she dismissed Jorah for a past deep, he was deeply committed to her and did not want to leave. She has the ability to gain followers and loyalty. C4) Ability to RuleShe has been able to keep a group of people who hate her in Meereen under control with just minor rebellions that are promptly crushed by the unsullied. This is a group of people including slavers and leaders that hate her and want her gone from the city so they can go back to slaving, yet she is able to rule them with a iron fist. Think what would happen if she would rule a group of people that loved her. Most of Westeros was just subject to Geoffrey who was the worst possible king everTake this quote from TyrionTyrion: "We've had vicious kings, and we've had idiot kings. .. but I don't know if we've ever been cursed with a vicious idiot for a king! "[6]In addition to this the North is in shatters from house bolton becoming the warden and leading a conquest to gain control of it. The conquest by Rob Start was cut short with the death of his mother and himself. Basically the people of Westeros are confused and looking for a strong leader, that can lead. The best suited person for that Job is Daenerys. The people would cling to her because of her ideas and mindset of freedom. There would be no slaves, and she would rule with justice for those who offered her respect and loyalty. She is a stern, wise, and vicious leader. That is something that cannot be said for Stannas. C5) TyrionI am not allowed to mention the book, but tyrion is currently in a boat going far away from Westeros because he has just murdered Tywin and King's Landing is in a uproar. This is foreshadowing the fact he is about to meet Daenerys. In addition tot his Tyrion now has a hatred for kings landing and all those in it other than his brother and a few others. He is more likely to join Daenerys and help her out. This is a key factor as well. Tyrion is not just smart, he is one of the 2 smartest characters in the series. It is a toss up between him and Peter Baelish. C6) Strength of her armyShe has the sheer numbers to challenge kings landing. With thousands upon thousands of unsullied, and thousands upon thousands of free slaves fighting for her. She has the ability to take and defeat any army in westeros. This is not even the pinnacle of her power. She continues to gain more and more power as she waits. Not to mention she has 3 dragons that are approaching adult age and that could tilt the battle in her favor at any given point. ConclusionIn terms of Wisdom, sheer strength of her army, her ability to rule, and the people that choose to follow her. Daenerys would make a better queen than stannis would make a king.
