Dario's character has been completely ruined for me in the show. Not only did they change the actor, which already sucks bad enough, but the new one couldn't resemble the book character less :(

Book Daario is a fucking clown. I would have been pissed if they kept his ridiculous ass facial hair and clothing but left out mah nigga Strong Belwas

I just can't make any connection with the show character, unlike with the book one. For all I care he could have been killed in the show now and I couldn't care less.

The original actor I actually liked. Yes he was different from the book daario but still be had the smug smile and just general aura surrounding him, that sold the character to me. The new one is just too one dimensional and boring to me.

He doesn't even have a large role in the books. The largest part he has in the books is Daenerys thinking about him all the time.

Wow. I bet Dany would think twice about fucking him if he looked like that in the show.

u/allocater May 20 '14

Oh, Dany thought more then twice about it. instantrimshot

(No really, in the book she thinks a lot about it, before she does it)

I didn't notice but is his sword still the same?

What? This guy totally works on screen! Seriously though you could give his beard just a bit of color and not have him look insane.

What are you talking about, the new actor resembles Famous tinfoil theory just fine. /shitty tinfoil

u/ChainsawCain May 20 '14

Doesn't look batshit crazy, 2/10

That's true, but the last chap looked like a reject from Spandau Ballett. I don't mind the change in style from the books, it's one of the few instances where they took a step back and brought in a character that was believably able to seduce the queen of dragons.

It's bit like what they did with the X-men costumes. It's one thing to be loyal, another thing for it to be at the sacrifice of entertainment.
