Where the page and the screen part
Victarion never existed on screen ÔÇö the show has no third Greyjoy brother, and his functions were split among the survivors: the fleet command and the eastern expedition went, in altered form, to Euron, while the kingsmoot lost its dullest and most honest claimant. What the adaptation loses with him is deliberate: his chapters are the booksÔÇÖ study of the ironborn as they see themselves ÔÇö pious, wronged, magnificent ÔÇö written from inside a skull with no irony in it, while every reader sees the manipulation he cannot. Cut him and the ironborn become a fleet; keep him and they are a religion with ships.
